Wedding Recap: The BIG Day!

It was perfect.... the day flew by! 

The boys got to hang 

The ladies made themselves pretty

We tied the knot

And then got down to business :)

the fun....

Some of us had a little more fun than others...

(I've got years of blackmail pictures!)

In short, it was my favorite day to date! My wedding was everything I'd hoped for and more. But most importantly it was spent with the people we love and adore the most :). Again, THANK YOU for being a part of our lives! 

Wedding Recap: Two Years Ago Today....

Two years ago today my future husband was waking up with THE worst headache of his life (from a little too much fun the night before. :)) and he was out the door with his Dad to pick up fresh rolls for our backyard barbecue with Tyler's FAMOUS pulled pork. It also happened to be Halloween.

That evening it was time for the Rehearsal Dinner or should I say The Roast?

Some of our family members couldn't resist being a little festive for the occasion...

I guess, it was Halloween, after all. 

There were many a memorable speeches made that night. To kick things off there was the 

"pregnancy scare..." (Thanks Conrad!) 

Then the BEST poem EVER....

Followed by a discussion about "tooting...." :)

and who could forget Tyler's love of tighty whiteys??

And finally, Jimbo's very sincere but screamingly funny "Dedication of the Bull's Balls" which P.S. now reside on our bar (thanks Jimbo!) 

It was an absolutely memorable evening, one that brings a smile to my face every time I pass by our Bull's Balls which will always be somewhere in our house (just maybe not ever in the entryway :))

Wedding Recap: Two Years Ago Today....

Two years ago today THE most exciting weekend of my life began! We were surrounded by all of our family and friends and about to embark on the biggest experience of our lives...... marriage. For the next few days, let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we?

We began the Wedding Weekend on Thursday for an impromptu dinner

 at Poppy's in Sandestin, Florida.

It was an absolutely gorgeous Fall night

We indulged in some YUMMY seafood....

and were surrounded by our family 

and wonderful friends.

Simply put, it was the beginning of the best weekend of my life.

Tyler and I are so blessed to have all of you in our lives. 

Thank you for letting us, be a part of yours! 

Losing a Pet

The beginning of October was extremely tough for Tyler and I. We had to make an excruciatingly tough decision....

We had to put our black lab Callie to sleep after discovering a tumor that had wrapped itself around her spine and was essentially paralyzing her.It all happened extremely fast and in a blink of an eye, a part of our family was gone....

I don't know what was worse watching my poor husband lose his dog or watching Tana lose her sister. It was terrible.

Three weeks later we are slowly coming up for air and getting into a new routine. We've adjusted to having one less "crazy mutt:)" in the household and are trying to love on Tana just a bit more. Some of you will balk when I admit the next few tidbits as you know how adamant Tyler is about good dog behavior, but we've even let Tana get up on the couch AND sleep with us at night.... Yep, we've suddenly turned into "those" kind of people.....

Surprisingly, Tana and I have gotten a lot closer too. Callie used to be my pal and love on me, Tana was always Tyler's girl. However, since Callie passed, Tana seems to rely on her Mom a lot more. When I'm home, she's my shadow. She loves to get in the mix and "help" with whatever I'm doing and I find myself wanting to cuddle up to her a lot more too!

If you had asked me three months ago, I would've told you that I was "so NOT an animal person," but after this experience, I have a whole new perspective Tana is a part of our family and I wouldn't change it for the world.

Now, go give your dog a hug! Happy Wednesday!

Pregnancy Update: 13 weeks

So here I am at 13 weeks! Don't laugh.... I'm HUGE.... Well huge, compared to most people at 13 weeks! A few updates:

Maternity Clothes: None yet, although technically I'm probably cheating, as all I've been wearing are dresses. I have to admit I'm a little self conscious to step into a maternity store THIS early.

Cravings: When I see something yummy I must have it immediately. The other noticeable cravings are that I do have moments throughout the day where ! want something extremely salty or sweet. Weird.

Symptoms: I can thankfully say that my "morning sickness" is gone and at this point I have no severe symptoms. I still go to sleep almost every night by 9:30 though, which for me is super early. But a little extra sleep never hurt anyone!

And that's it for my pregnancy updates!

Thanks for checking in! Have a fabulous weekend!

If Old Wives Tales are right.....

I heard yesterday that if your skin becomes oily and you begin to break out severely during your pregnancy then you are having a girl because supposedly your sweet little baby is " draining all of your beauty..." Well, if that's true then I am SO having a baby girl! I have used EVERY product I'm allowed to use on the market and my face STILL looks like I'm sixteen years old. Darn acne!

Grrrrrr........

It's coming up...... pansies.

Happy Hump Day!

This is what I'm up to today..... stay tuned....

So please continue to stop by our blog and follow us as the Deneault's grow!
