We celebrated the marriage of this wonderful couple and I got to take pictures of their wedding.
It was an adventure and not without it's (hysterical) hitches but most importantly, the bride was stunning and the groom was handsome and they were happily married at the end of the day.

I cannot wait til you guys get to see the pictures!!! I hope you love them like we do!!!
I was worried at the beginning but my sister and I were able to pull of some very miraculous moves and with the success of our tap-dancing, the day went well.
(*side note* If the daughter of the bride is there, allow her to input and never ever ever say that she is only there to take pictures... That's her daughter, her blood. Period *)
The decorations were beautifully done and the bride is very lucky to have such wonderful friends who were able to help her set up and take down.
We watched the couple exchange vows, joined in their joys during the reception and partied hard during the BBQ after. It was so much fun and I wish we could do this more often. Nothing beats a wedding followed by a down home country BBQ.
We traveled 8 hours there and 11 hours back.
I have to say that Chunko is nowhere near a good car baby. He was done after the first hour and when we wouldn't release him, he took a nap... When he woke up still in the carseat is when all hell broke loose.
There was nothing we could do to make this poor child happy.
I have to admit I went so far as to bribe him with sodas, slushies, chips, my cell phone. Whatever to make him stop yelling at us.
We survived, barely, but the day after we got home, Chunko wanted nothing to do with the car. NOTHING.
We did find a really cute mini-amusement park in Phoenix called Castles and Coasters. We thought it was just a fun little mini golf course but when we pulled in, there were zip lines, obstacle courses, 2 coasters, 4 mini-golf courses, bumper cars, bumper boats and so much more!!!
We didn't have a lot of time to play this time but we're definitely planning a future escape there and soon.

We made a huge financial decision this week and have begun the journey of fixing our monies so we can buy our dream home and take that trip to DisneyWorld like we want. Very scary but very exciting all in one.
Still nothing from my love's oldest. He tried and now it's time to accept it as it is and understand that this is how she wants it. Sucks but what more can you do, right?
I was really mad about my recent sudden weight gain but I learned it's because I am re-building muscle. It's so awesome! I am almost back to my original strength before a certain godzilla baby zapped it. I've been steady with my Zumba and I make it a point to do another activity throughout the week to keep me from vegging like I so very much want to.
Fart Bone's teacher pissed me off by rescheduling our parent teacher conference without choosing to let me know. So I show up after taking an hour off of work to find her long gone... B(ew)itch.
Aside from that, Fart Bone is soaring above the other kids in his class and his test scores are off the charts. His desk is messy but if that's her only complaint with him, I'm okay with that.
(actually his desk is worthy of being shut down as a hazard to human health)
He's also reading on a fifth grade level! Go Fart Bone!
Chunko learned the hard way not to plug in my straightening iron. He burned his wee little fingers and, of course, blames me. He didn't talk to me for over an hour. We've made up (cause I have candy) and are back to our usual. He has started calling Auntie "No Mama" and likes to tease his daddy by calling him "Ga Ga."
He's talking so much more and when he chooses not to speak, he's still communicating to the point where we can clearly understand his wants.
He can now open the fridge and plugged in the waffle iron yesterday.
He is strongwilled and very determined to do as he wishes. He is unbelievably strong and sometimes it's a very real struggle to get something from him if he doesn't want to give it up.

My step girl is dating a douche.
(If you're reading this, he's a douche)
That's not fair... I'm sure he is a very respectable young man who cherishes her beauty and humor. I'm sure he writes her sweet nothings and uses his FB page as an outlet for his douchery (<--- is that a word cause it shoudl be).
Hopefully she moves on soon... It is super scary being the step-parent to a teenage girl... Can we fast forward to when she's 28 (and a virgin) and happily marries a millionaire who adores her and kisses the ground she walks on?

What do you mean that's not realistic???
This week brings Fart Bone's 9th birthday (Holy Shit, you're 9!!??!!??), Halloween party at my sister's house (so excited), meeting up with my Vegas May Mommy (who we' haven't met up in way too long), and my super amazing uber awesome Mother-In-Law's birthday!
Righteous, party on, Excellent!!!
