Navy Wedding.

Congratulations A & C !




We went down to VA Beach to attend Hub's nephew's wedding this past weekend. I was uncomfortable but the baby kept nicely inside. I survived it and Hub's did too. The ride down was very long. It took us 6 hours. Our first stop was suppose to be a short McDonald's pick up and restroom stop. Hub's forgot Lamb's shoes so he had to hold her and take her to the potty. We had to take shifts and then after 30 minutes at micky Ds, off we went. We went only for 1 minute and Lamb's shouting out poo-pee. So luckily we past a nice rest area and hubs went to take her. After another 30 minutes, we were off. Luckily we choose to buy a portable dvd player for the girls to watch. However, Puppy was so unhappy. He kept pointing to his seat belt and with these puppy dog eyes , he looked at me as if to say "let me out, let me out". The rehearsal dinner was at 4 pm and at 3:30 pm, it looked very grim. We were going to be late. While Hubs was on the phone with his nephew to let him know that we'd be late, we got pulled over for speeding. It didn't seem like we were going that fast but what can you do? We traveled on Route 13 and it was a long road that went through towns. There were no formal rest areas and it was so hard to wait for rest areas. I ended up going to Mcdonalds and a walmart. I always feel bad using the restrooms with out purchasing anything but I'm 9 months pregnant, what could they say. But at the last stretch... there was no where to go pee and then we were entering the chesapeake bridge and that bridge is long. I ended up peeing in a bucket in our car. I had to go sooo bad.

We got there and we went straight to the rehearsal. Family was all there except those not participating in the wedding. It was going to be an outdoor ceremony overlooking the Bay. It is beautiful. The kids were so excited. Bunny was especially excited to go swimming but we didn't have time that day. She woke up the next day talking about going swimming. We hurriedly got ready and off to the pool we went. The kids swam around. PUPPY. was afraid at first and wrapped himself to me. Then later he loosened up and he had a blast. It made me think that I definitely want a pool in our next home. It was nice walking around in the pool. I felt so light and no pressure.

The wedding was really nice and beautiful. Hub's nephew and his wife are such a beautiful couple. The girls did a great job walking down the aisle and Lamb was loving the dressing up and attending the wedding. She kept saying that she was going to her wedding. Bunny was particularly most interested in dancing on the dance floor. Once the music tempo went up, she asked if she could go dance. No one was on the dance floor and I just said wouldn't want to wait until someone goes up first... She replied"no, and that she really really wanted to dance." I said fine and after her dancing for 5 minutes, her aunt Jayne went and joined her and then her cousins. She didn't stop to take a break... she dance all night. Hmm... she is a lot like her mommy. I really wanted to dance but I really couldn't stand on my feet. I still enjoyed watching everyone.

It's my MIL's first grandson to get married and it was an emotional affair. As the groom's mother danced with the groom, my MIL and SIL all looked on with tears in their eyes. It was sweet to see and as the dance came to an end they rushed in on the couple and gave a huge group hug. It was such a sweet sweet sight.

We had a fun time. So much fun that we stayed an extra day to hang out at the pool and beach again. The kids really really enjoyed themselves.
