Perfect

That's what Eric & I kept saying to each other Saturday night and Sunday. Our day was exactly what we wanted it to be. Our family surrounded us (less my grandparents and Eric's grandma who we missed!!!), everyone was relaxed and happy and the weather was beautiful! Our vows were traditional and heartfelt and we both felt so peaceful. It was a wonderful day of celebration and joy.
One funny thing, after we got home on Sunday night, Eric was moving some stuff upstairs to (formerly) my, (now) our bedroom and Will was just fascinated by the fact that we were going to sleep in the same bed now. He kept asking what was going to happen if I rolled onto Eric's side of the bed. Monday morning, he had to rush to find Eric so he could find out if I "crossed the line!" I think he thought that Eric would push me out of bed or something. It's cute. Otherwise, we're back in our routines, like normal. We keep looking at each other and saying "This is why people take a honeymoon!" We really don't want to be back at work so quickly! We're looking forward to Memorial Day weekend!

Married!!

It was a perfect day. We had a wonderful time and are so glad to be married!!

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl

My baby girl turns 3 today. It's been a wonderful, challenging, fun and exhausting ride with my opinionted, loving, sweet, sassy, and fearless little girl. We love you Morgan!

Cincinnati Bearcats

Will's playing flag football this spring and loving it. I was a little worried when I was told that he would need a mouthguard - but so far it hasn't been an issue and he thinks it's cool because "real" football players wear mouthguards :).

2 Weeks!

Two weeks from tomorrow is our big day. We're excited and hoping for good weather. My dress shipped yesterday - here's hoping the measurements are right. Last weekend we met with the pastor (wonderful!) and the photographer (in Eric's words - a complete nut job). I have to agree with him. The pastor was great and helpful and will be a wonderful addition to our service. The photographer...wow. I don't even know how to put it into words. However, I am grateful that I didn't notice what Eric did. Apparently when she was telling us the story of her own, ill-fated marriage, her tiny 8 lb dog was um, in heat, on her foot. I'm glad I didn't notice because I probably would have had to excuse myself. We're hoping the dog won't join her at the wedding.
