Day 213, September 19th

I got super lucky with printing off our wedding photos, there were so many different deals going on, that I'm pretty sure I printed our Engagement, Wedding and Honeymoon photos for under $100.  This deal made it difficult to buy photo albums because I couldn't stand to spend more on the books than the photos.  Alas, I broke down, found some on a small sale, and purchased them.  Monday was our 7 month anniversary, so it was fitting that I spent the evening going through all the wedding photos, organizing them, and putting them in photo albums.  It was quite a large task, and I kept sadly skipping pages, only to notice 16 pages later!! Ryan stepped in and helped in those cases to ensure I didn't fling myself off our balcony in despair!  Good night of organization!

Day 154, July 22nd

Friday night was a pretty snooze fest evening for Ryan and I.  I had a pretty busy weekend planned for Michelle's going away party, so we wanted to just lay low Friday night, and actually get to see each other.

As I was cheaply printing our wedding photos, I came across a nice little promotion to make one photo book and get 2 more for free!! Are you kidding?! That is amazing! So I jumped on that obviously.  Friday, the books were delivered finally to the house! Just in time for my mom's birthday, which she actually isn't even in town for anyway! We looked at the photos and wept about our beautiful day...we didn't really cry, but I wish we did.  I feel like I could have gotten some lovely ahhhhhhh's out of the readers.

Day 94, May 23rd

Over the weekend we got our wedding photos!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So much excitement!! When we were planning the wedding, the photographer was the most important to me.  I love pictures, simply love them!! So that was the one thing I was willing to put some money towards!! I was so happy that we went with Hagerty Photography, they were amazing from start to finish!! 

Our photos came in this adorable box with the flash drive inside!! I mean come on, that is so cute!! I spent most of Monday uploading all of our wedding photos online, while watching TLC, wild night, I know. 

Day 78, May 7th

So I hit the road to Prescott Valley early Saturday morning.  They were having a walk from noon to 7 p.m., but I need to be back in Phoenix for a wedding at 5, oh the life of a rock star...
I got to Prescott Valley around 10:30, helped a little with set up, ahh-ed the teens with my humor, thanked all the kids for supporting JDRF, and was back on the road by about 1.  Got back, went to check on the kids in Chandler, got ready and headed home to get Ryan for Jenna and AJ's wedding!! Lucky for us it was a stone throw from our house, so I didn't have to worry too much on time as long as we left with minutes to spare!!
The wedding was at The Legacy Golf Resort, which was beautiful, and the reception was at a family friend's house, which was also beautiful!!

Look at these adorable love birds! Ryan sat on the end so he had the task of photo taking.  When the ceremony was over he told me he felt like he took too many vertical photos. I said it was fine, because most of the time, vertical photos aren't the majority!! We headed to the reception and sat with all the lovely JDRF folks.  They had a margarita machine, which was a perfect idea!! We spent most of the night shaking our groove things since that's sort of what we do...
Jenna's brother went to high school and played baseball with Ryan so they had a lovely little reunion, it's such a small world isn't it?!?! We closed out the night teaching others how to dougie (update...rest in peace) and then headed home after another wonderful wedding!

Day 71, April 30th

On Saturday morning, Ryan and I headed to breakfast to talk about each other's evening and fuel up for the day.  Our first stop for the day, and one of the few things I had to do was go see the Full House house!! 
I felt sort of like a creep when we got there and walked over to take pictures.  I mean people live in this house! I'm sure they love having people take pictures outside on their steps.  Then there was a couple across the street unloading groceries so I'm sure they were judging us.  I pulled through my worry, I mean who buys this house and then gets annoyed when people take pictures outside of it?! And I'm sure the whole street is used to tourist doing this by now.  At least I didn't ring the bell and ask if Michelle could come out and play!!!
After our creeper fest, we headed out to the Golden Gate Bridge.  It was such a beautiful area.  We hiked around for a bit, took lots of photos then hiked back up and out. We got back on the road, and headed back to our hotel.  Once we got back, we walked around to find a lunch place.  We went to a Burger Bar, which was located in Macy's, and it was pretty delicious. 
Then the main event!! We got prettied up, and headed to the church for Alex and Heather's wedding.  It was small, beautiful and just perfect.  We all headed over to the park for photos after, and then to dinner with the newlyweds.  We went to Sauce for dinner, which was an amazing meal, I had cheese fondue and tater tots with mac and cheese!! So much cheese wonderfulness!!  After dinner we headed back to the hotel, we were exhausted.  We had a wonderful day in San Francisco, and we were so happy to see our two fantastic friends tie the knot!!

Day 62, April 21st

Thursday, Holy Week upon us, and the count down to Diet Coke getting so close!! It was Maundy Thursday, or Holy Thursday, depending on who you ask.
When we got home from work, we headed to Church and then to Carlos O'Brien's for dinner.  When we were heading home I got an email from the wonderful Hagerty Photography that wedding pictures were up to view! YAY!  When we got home, we snuggled up on the couch and looked through the hundreds of photos from our wedding day. 
It was the perfect way to end the night, looking through the photos, seeing all our friends and family and laughing at how much taller Brandon is then everyone else in the bridal party!!

Day 1, February 19th

Well here we are! The start of our life together and the start of Project 365!  Our wedding day was beautiful, everyone kept telling me I wouldn't remember much of it, but I feel like I do have a pretty good memory of the days events, and with photos on facebook it helps to remember everything else!
I was super worried about the rain, and as it poured during our drive to the church all I could do was curse mother nature.  The ceremony was beautiful, and when it was done so was the rain, oh mother nature you got me good! It was freezing outside, but we pushed through to the reception where we had an amazing time.  We were reminded how good our friends can drink as they drank all the red wine we provided before dinner even started...congratulations friends. It was a wonderful night celebrating with our closest friends and our families.  


Mucho props to our fantastic vendors, Troon North Golf Club was perfect, Hagerty Photography was amazing, and our cupcake cake was delicious!  We had an amazing day and I actually sort of still can't believe the wedding has happened!!
