Wedding, Honeymooning, Married life!

So, apparently I am not such a good blogger. :-) I have been asked four times in the past two days when was I going to update my blog. I have an excuse though, I have been waiting on pictures. So I guess I will post pictures later.

The Wedding:

Danson and I got married on Saturday, October 23, 2010. The wedding was perfect... Well, all except the Pastor forgetting to tell Danson he could kiss his bride. So, we got half way down the aisle and that's when Danson's Mom grabbed him by the coat tail (those of you who know her aren't surprised.) We then walked back up to the altar and sealed the deal with a kiss!!



This is the only picture I have so far.





The reception was wonderful thanks to my Mom and my Mother-in-law. The food was great from what I hear. For Danson and Me this is how the reception went. 1) Greet everyone as they walk in  2) Cut my cake, eat a piece, take a picture. 3) Cut Danson's cake, eat a piece, take a picture. 4) Drink a glass of coke, take a picture. 4) Throw the bouquet, toss the garter, take a picture. 5) leave! Needless to say, that part of the wedding day is a bit blurry.

My whole wedding would not have happened without My Mom, Sister, Sister-in-laws, or Mother-in-law. If you like the decorations it is all due to Leigh Ann Langley. She made this day so special for Danson and Me!

The Honeymoon

We spent our first night at a Bed & Breakfast in Vincent, AL called "Blue Springs Manor" and it was unbelievable. I think everyone should have a chance to stay there at least for a night. The room was so nice. They also have a heated pool and hot tub. But hands down, they have the best food I have ever put in my mouth. It truly is gourmet cooking. I'll do you a favor and just skip to the next morning now! ;-) The next morning we got up, had a wonderful breakfast, and headed to Gatlinburg.

We had a great time in Gatlinburg. The only thing that we planned on doing was the Dixie Stampede, so the rest of the time we did whatever we wanted when we wanted to do it. I have decided this is the best way to vacation. It is much better than having a schedule for every minute of every day. The best thing about this trip was that Danson didn't complain about the money we were spending a single time. For those of you who know Danson know he is quite the tight wad, so this was a big accomplishment for him. Some of the highlights of Gatlinburg were:

• Eating! We ate like it was going out of style! One of the best places we went was called, The Peddler. It is a steakhouse with an amazing salad bar. I bet the salad bar was 20 feet long with every kind of topping you could think of. They also bring the meat cart to your table and cut your steak right there in front of you. It was a very cool experience.
• We walked up and down the streets of Gatlinburg about everyday, but we didn't buy any of that crap! I really don't see how most of those stores stay in business. I compare buying stuff in Gatlinburg to getting a prize out of the treasure chest at school. The only reason you wanted it was because it came out of the treasure chest. By the time you get home, you could care less about it. Crap at Gatlinburg = the same thing.
• Cades Cove was great! We spent a whole afternoon there.

Those are just some highlights, but the whole trip was great!

Married Life

Married life has been an adjustment but I have loved every minute of it. I think for the first four nights after we got back from the honeymoon I cried right before bed because I missed my mom. What can I say, I love my mom! The night we got back My Mom, Sister, and Brayden came out to see us. It hadn't really hit me until they started to leave that I wasn't going back home anymore. I kissed her bye and told her goodnight, and as she was driving down the driveway I was standing at the window with tears rolling down my cheeks. Danson looked at me, put his arms around me and said, "You can go spend the night with your Mom if you want to." This is one of the many reasons I love this man! The beginning was bittersweet, but I have adjusted now and wouldn't trade it for the world. The hardest thing so far has been sharing the bed with Danson. It was hard to get used to someone invading your space, and before, my "space" was the whole bed. We still share the bed with Hank, or Heidi, or both of them about every night. Danson is still on night shift until January (then he goes back to days...YAY!!!!) So three or four nights a week it's just me and the dogs. I get a lot done on those nights. I really like those nights because I don't have to cook! :-) I will wrap this up. I have to say, Marriage is Bliss!!! More pictures coming soon.
