PhotoMatt has posted his wedding photos! Feel free to browse through them.
I promise, I’ll post some of my own soon. Along with house photos, Tiara Happy Hour photos and honeymoon photos. Yes, I have a lot of photo editing in my near future!
I’ve always been a night person. Well, in the sense that I stay up late – because in reality, if I get up early in the morning and get busy doing work, I’m really a morning person and get the most accomplished then. Unfortunately, staying up past midnight normally prevents that from happening.
I’m also one of those people that can be woken up from a solid sleep and function normally. I can talk, cook breakfast, whatever. I’m considering doing Project Blog for that reason, but haven’t decided for sure yet.
Last night though? Last night was unusual. I went to sleep at 2:15 am. I am stuck with the alarm on my side of the bed because Mike will sleep through it, so I woke up at 6:30 to wake him up. Again at 7:00. Again at about 7:15, when I begged him to get up so I could go back to sleep. He woke me up at 7:50 when he left. Chelsey called about 9:00 and we talked for a little bit. I told her to call me later, and I went back to sleep. Mike called at 9:50 as he went to get his hair cut. He offered to call back later, but I told him no, I needed to get up and run errands. I promptly went back to sleep. I woke up at noon, lamented over how late it was, and went back to sleep. When I finally woke up at 1:45, I actually screamed “holy CRAP!” Yeah, so much for all the errands I was going to run this morning, right?
However, I must say that I do feel quite refreshed now.
Originally, I had said that I was only going to celebrate our one month wedding anniversary, possibly the six month, and of course the 1 year mark. Then we went to dinner at Vic & Anthony’s.
Mike took me to Vic & Anthony’s to celebrate our engagement the weekend after we got engaged. (We went to Josephine’s the night we got engaged, another one of our favorite places.) That was back in January though – and while my memories of the food were accurate, I forgot just how DAMN GOOD their food is. The most fan-freakin-tabulous steaks EVER. EVER. I grew up outside of Chicago, beef capitol of the U.S. I know a good steak, and theirs are among the BEST.
So I had a filet mignon that just melted in my mouth. Like buttah, it was so divine. But to top it off, I had their Au Gratin potatoes. Oh. My. God.
You know that scene in “When Harry Met Sally” where Meg Ryan does the whole orgasm thing in the restaurant just to be a smartass? Well, I was doing that because the potatoes were absolutely out of this world. I have never had potatoes so good. I could eat them 7 days a week and never be tired. I still roll my eyes and make a slight “O” face every time I think about those potatoes.
Some skinny chick walked by our table with a scowl on her face. I know she had some serious carb envy. I wanted to grab her, sit her down, and force her to try the potatoes so she would know what she was missing. Carbs! Embrace the carbs! They are so di-vine!
So now I’m trying to convince Mike that we should never eat out during the month, saving up for the splurge on the 29th of every month FOREVER to go to Vic & Anthony’s for dinner. I almost drool just thinking about it. So excellent. *sigh* Is it the 29th yet?
Oh dear Lord. They just announced on the news that it may be a little less damp this weekend, but that a ton of mosquitos are going to hatch because of it! They even said that our “mosquito alert” is going from medium to high.
Crap. The mosquitos are going to carry us all away. We are so screwed…
It is hard to believe that it has been a month since our wedding. I was startled on Sunday when I realized that the anniversary was coming up so soon. Normally, I don’t celebrate things like that, but this one seems special – so we are. I honestly could not have married a better man, and I am truly thankful for that. If you ask me, that is definitely worth celebrating!
Can we dance or what?!? Go Disco Mike! (Photo courtesy of Rannie.)
