Bridal Portrait!

Here it is!!! I can finally show you...My Bridal Portrait! The first 2 are my absolute very favorite pictures that have ever been taken of me! I hope you like them!

Sassy!

It monsooned that day!

Now, I want to go back and do it all over again...just like it was!

Honeymooners...how original?

We went on a cruise to Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallerta! We had so much fun! It was so nice to get away and not have a phone or computer to play on and play with each other and eat our self stupid! We met some crazy, funny, different people that helped make our trip! Here our some of our favorite pictures!

Our first formal night!

The funniest night of my life! Note the look on my husbands face.

On the beach in Cabo, obviously our ship is behind us!

Us before we got in those jungle, war buggies behind us and went on a ride, up hill for like 3 miles...

Coming down the first line...

On the first line!

MY handsome HUSBAND! It's still weird!

At the Tequila Distillery in Mazatlan

Puerto Vallerta!

At our last port...but our favorite! Puerto Vallerta! We want to go back soon! The people were so friendly, the city was clean, the water was beautiful!

Our Heavenly Day!

So, the day has come and gone and I have to tell you...I actually have the wedding blues! I want to do it all over again...can you believe it? I cant! The day was absolutely perfect...went off without a hitch and was, in my eyes, the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen...it really was our heavenly day; the day that I have dreamed of since I was little and it really was my dream! Here are some pictures that I've stolen off facebook that people have posted! As soon as I have the link from the photographers I will let you know! Enjoy!

Rehearsal! With the fun bouquet my Sweet sister Amanda made for me!

Putting my dress on...one of my very favorite pictures of the day so far!

My sassy, sexy red shoes!

My beautiful Maids!

Walking under the arch at the beginning of the aisle!

Seeing each other for the first time! His face was the sweetest sight.

Mr. and Mrs. William Sparks!

Cutting the cake with a Sabre...we had planned to be nice...and he was, until I slammed cake into his face. Somehow I ended up with more cake on my face then he did!

In honor of having a military wedding we decided that we would honor all of our grandfathers...who are the only deceased grandparents, by hanging a picture of them in uniform on a tree. I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!

Dancing with my sweet daddy!

Bachelorette PARTY!!!

So, my bestfriend Emily threw me the best bachelorette party ever! We started at the downtown Hilton. We laid out at their roof top pool, then got ready, opened nasty presents, veiled me, then went to dinner at Cafe 4, Sapphire, and Hannah's in the old city. With a night cap at Divinci's pizza!

Amanda placing my veil on my head! It has penis mints, condoms and glow in the dark penis' on the band!

All of us outside Cafe 4

I knightd a gay man!
The end of the night! I'll leave you with the saying of the night...perfect penis placement!

Been a while!

I'm sorry for neglecting you dear blog for life has been a bit crazy! Today marks Billy and my 2 week anniversary. We are celebrating by watching the Christian/Newsome trial live on WBIR.com, mowing the much needed, over grown yard, updating you...and yes, writing thank you notes. For dinner we are having steak kabobs and baked potatoes, and yes, promised to prepare Billy's for him like his momma does; and I can tell you he is ecstatic. Last night I introduced Billy to the world of McBride nachos, after he insisted I make his the way he likes...cheese only and barely melted, while mine are loaded with salsa and chips almost burned, he was eating off my pan and breaking the burnt edges off my chips...one day he will learn to trust my taste in food! I will close with a promise to upload some pictures from my bachelorette party, wedding and honeymoon...in second!

30 days...

WOOHOO!!! 30 days from today, at this time...I will be taking pictures with my Bridesmaids, nervously awaiting 6 pm, when I will finally marry the man of my dreams! I could scream I'm so excited!

So, having said that I only have 30 days left, it comes to mind the "30 day Brides Diet"...I had NO IDEA about this. Seriously, how do you crash diet? How can I make my little pouch just a little bit smaller in 30 days? They tell me:

• Exercise everyday, for at lease 30 minutes
• No white carbs
• No sweets
• No eating past 8
• No caffeine or carbonation
• Eat smaller portions
• For some meals, drink a protein shake and an apple or orange...

What did you do during your "30 days"???

I ONLY HAVE 30 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excitement!

A lot has been happening on our wedding front this past week!

I had my final dress fitting and I have to tell you, Sally Harmon rocks the world of alterations...you must call her for your next occasion! I could not have asked for a better out come!
We made the final decision about my veil...for those of you who didn't know there was a decision to be made; I have said for years that I wanted to wear my moms! Well it wasn't exactly what I remembered it to be so we were debating adding new lace to it or using a new one all together! Well, when we were with Sally at my fitting we decided that my moms veil was PERFECT with my dress just the way it is and I have to tell you...it matched perfectly, I'm totally psyched to be wearing something my mom wore on her special day!
I had my Bridal Portraits done on Monday, and for those of you who don't remember Monday's weather, I'll remind you...MONSOONS on and off until probably 3:30...I'm driving to my hair appointment having a panic attack, both hands on the wheel, trying to breath (I can not stop and throw up in this torrential down pour) , and I could not see more than 15 feet in front of me.
Praying on my knees for the weather to clear up, or for insight on a new place to go...THE SKIES CLEAR!!! I'm serious, God knew these pictures were meant to be taken outside this day! I am trying to be so patient to get them back but we had so much fun taking them I seriously am DYING to get them back!
I have to give a "shout out" to my wonderful mother! My shoot would not have been very successful had she not been there! She was jumping around, dancing, rolling, doing whatever she could to make not "not fake smile" or "give me your big laugh". I heart you so much!
And Lastly, we addressed our invitations last night and THEY ARE OFF!!! HOLY COW, my wedding invitations are on their way to you!!! We are in crunch time! Katy (Billy's sister), Emily (my bff), Lisa (my moms friend), Jess, my mom and I sat diligently working until they were completed. Jess and I have AWFUL handwriting so we were the official stuffers, while the other 4 wrote. Thank you ladies so very much for helping me...I had to much fun with you all...though it was stressful!
