almost 6 months old.

so, Christopher and I have been married a little over 5 months... I can't believe we have almost hit the half year mark. That's crazy. It seems like just yesterday I was so excited, I almost threw up all over myself before making the walk down the aisle. My Dad was talking to me about motorcycles and Elvis right before we entered the church doors, and I just kept saying... "I think I'm gonna throw up." I was so nervous, and so excited, and of course I didn't wretch, however... I was clearly still shaking when I arrived at the alter to take the hand of my man and promise forever. It wasn't nervousness that I had made a bad choice, I knew that Chris was my best friend, my soul mate, the one that I would grow old with.... I was just simply nervous.

Not to mention I had been in the dog house the day before the wedding (can you believe that? A BRIDE in trouble with her soon to be Hubby the day before the big day?!) Yea, it's true. Johnna, Amy, and myself were on our way from the Rehearsal Dinner to the Hotel Monaco where we would be residing for the night... when Johnna's phone rang. She did what she normally does, and answers it from her car -- IE. Chris was loud and on speaker. I had left my cell at the house on accident which is why Johnna got to be the messenger.



Chris: "What in the fuck could possibly have cost $650 at Elizabeth Arden today?!"
I wince, and the girls look at me like I'm the biggest idiot EVER!
Me: "Um, well -- they didn't apply my $100 dollar gift card, so in the next 24 hours she said it would be taken care of, and it'll only be $550...."
Which was true -- and it did get taken care of, however... that wasn't enough to sate Christopher.
Chris: "Seriously, Shannon?!?!!!!!"
I knew I was in trouble being called Shannon! He never uses my name unless I've effed up somehow....
Me: "Yea, seriously... I got a Mani., and Pedi., massage, facial, waxing they did my make up, and hair..."
Chris: "I can't believe you..."

I can't believe he actually went through with marrying me!

and you know the poor man in his head was probably like -- "Woman you better come out of this looking like Cindy Crawford tomorrow!!"

But, when we locked eyes -- I knew that he was just as excited to spend the rest of our lives together as I was. I think....

Why all the wedding talk? I was just looking at my pictures... and I swear almost every time I look them over, I want to turn around and get married all over again. It was so much fun.... an amazing two days. Not to mention, I just can't believe that it's almost been a half of a year already! While we are in the Hampton's, our marriage will be turning 6 months old. That might call for some festivities...

I'm actually trying to organize all of our pictures on the computer using Picasa, as I type this entry. It's not as easy as I thought it would be, especially since we have about a million and two photographs.
