Married Life

• I am a married woman now :)
• After being together for so long I didn't think getting married would be a big deal. It was and I am extremely happy that we finally did.
• We were both really nervous. I found that kind of odd after all these years of living together.
• My father told him it wasn't too late to run when I went to the restroom. I might have to slap him for that next time I see him.
• Both set of my parents came and I was sweating it a bit but it worked out just fine. My mother and step mother both even commented on each other (how nice and how they had some things in common) the day after we returned.
• Our wedding was also online. I shared the link with our families. I was surprised how many people watched it.
• This was the second time I have been to Las Vegas. I enjoyed this time more than the first. We kind of went our own pace and did only what we wanted to.
• We went to the shark reef and the Peep Show. The reef was awesome the Peep Show was only ok.
• I am also proud to say I have worn my ring since Jim put in on my hand. That's a big thing for me since I never wear jewelry, not even the engagement ring he gave me 9 years ago.
• I endured my first select baseball tournament this weekend. It was ok. They won 2 lost 2.
• It seemed that the boys just didn't play the second game each day very well. They got hot and tired and gave up. I am happy to say that my 3 children played pretty well.
• It was in Oklahoma so we stayed the night. Each night the adults hung out and had a few beers. It was a good way to get to know the new parents.
• The new team members fit well into the team. It seemed they all ran around everywhere together. All in all a good time.

Life and stuff

• So I am getting married in 3 days.(two if you count this as Friday but I don't because I haven't gone to bed)
• I have had an engagement ring for years now but I never wear it.  I am just not a jewelry kind of person. I have lots of nice stuff but never put it on.
• I bought my hubby a ring on yesterday because well that's when he told me he wanted to wear one.  I also ordered me a new one too. Its plain, no stones, no fancy design. I am hoping that I will wear it that way.
• Baseball update: They lost in the third round.  I thought there was going to be a fight.  I don't like to see the kids taunt each other but I can understand it sometimes happens.  However, I can not understand how any parent would taunt a child.  A coach was removed from the game.  The fans were disgraceful.  We watched the championship game and cheered for the other team for a while until we realized their fans were just as rude and disrespectful.  Then we moved off to the outfield to finish watching the game... Select baseball has now started for us. Longer practices and longer games (not really just more of them all at once because they are tournaments).
• My little ones are going camping with their cousin this weekend while we are gone. They were really excited.  I almost feel sorry for my uncle. Almost.
• We are going to have a house sitter here. I am hoping that he isn't going to be sleeping in my bed.  I have reasons for that.
• I wanted my father and step father to walk me down the aisle. One told me I needed to pick because he wasn't comfortable with it. I chose the other one.  Not really choosing just taking it as he told me no.  I think he knew he hurt my feeling but not changing the way he felt about it and is ok with not walking.  In fact told me it didn't matter one way or the other : /
• My kids have been playing with airsoft guns in the house while the adults are out.  At some point today they shot my monitor and it now has a crack in the middle of the screen.  When those kids get up (it will be early) they are going to get an ear full and lost of chores.
• I need some sleep. My next post will be as a married woman :)

Man...

My sister cant catch a break. They were just here this past weekend.  They flew home on Monday. Tuesday her husband was ridding his motorcycle and was hit by a car that ran a red light.  He had one surgery last night another on Friday and at least one more next Thursday.  He has a broken arm, clavicle, leg and both knee caps.  I am sure she is scared to death.  Her first husband was in a wreck shortly after they married and it changed him for the rest of his life, which resulted in events that changed her and her sons for the rest of their lives.

Short Update...

• because I am busy.
• We didnt make up the game. Well we were suposed to but after all that crap and someone finally saying pick a day, the other coach finally did. He made sure it was the same time as our graduation though.
• We still showed up with the whole team only to have them forfeit because they didnt have enough show up. Grr.
• My little one that made it to the play offs lost the first game and is out.  He is ok with that.
• The big ones play tonight!  I am excited. I hope they do well.
• This weekend I cried alot. My baby girl (really my cousin) graduated :( So grown up.
• My Dad and Step mom and step sister and her family came in this weekend too.
• I love them.
• I have some of the cutest nephews ever!
• They are twins and very well behaved.
• I am getting married in less than two weeks! Ekkk.
