I had a moment...
... yesterday while visiting the Shoe family that just reminded me how much I love Jamie and that everything is going to work out in the midst of all the wedding planning drama and delays and such. She was holding Norah. I know, I'm a big softy. The moment almost made me get in the car, drive to the courthouse and get hitched right there so we could start trying to have a little one. I want kids so badly. It's pretty obvious anytime I am around kids. I'm a kid at heart, I teach kids music, I teach kids at the gym. I don't know where this post is going. Sorry for being gushy.
If you ever have a moment, enjoy it.

I know, and Jamie and my work schedules don't really work well together right now so we don't see each other that much. I think we're going to wait a little longer to set the date when we know where we are financially. She's waiting to find out something from her job about when she gets a raise, because it's past the time she should have gotten one. (they promised raises on set schedules when she started, but have failed to deliver) We are expanding the health club in Baton Rouge, but I don't know when that is going to be finalized. Hell it took us 2 years to move into our new facility with all the construction delays. I'm going to get a nice increase when that happens, but I can't really plan anything right now. Ugh...
Elope.
i swear, 6 years later, i wish i woulda taken the money and ran!
my step sis went on a cruise, complete with wedding dress! she and her husband sent post cards to their parents saying that they were getting married on their cruise.
she has beautiful pics and everything, and it was really special because it was just the 2 of them.
the parents were a little upset at first but they all understood. and there was a nice reception a few weeks after they got back.
abear, you are just oh so sweet! Jamie is very lucky to have you! and you are very lucky to have her!
I agree with Tigerfan on everything! The only thing I wish I had done differently was to actually have done my hair and makeup and have a professional photographer.
agreed.
you ain't cool, unless you pee your pants!
I wonder if Jamie's parents would just give us the money they are putting up for the wedding in cash? Ha!
that is what my dad was going to do.....grr..... i could have had a check written to me for $9000.00 right then and there....but nooooo...i just had to have a wedding....and i would have saved the 10,000.00 of our own money spent. gah! that is so much money! grrr.....
A lot of parents will, I'm such a fan of this prospect
Jamie is not too keen on it...
True story. To see my big, manly husband snuggling and being so gentle with our little, delicate daughter...pass the tissues please!
I agree with this 110%. Dusty holding our baby girl and talking and interacting with her makes me love him in a totally new way. If you believe you have a solid and loving marriage, just wait until you see the love your spouse has for the baby that you both created... its an amazing feeling.
And I am gonna totally disagree with the eloping. Our wedding day was extraordinary, despite all its imperfections, and I would have been very disappointed if we would have eloped. The money wouldnt have brought us that same enjoyment. I loved sharing the day with my family and friends and its one memory I love sharing again and again (and have awesome pictures to look back on!) And no it wasnt just about the wedding with us either, it was just an amazing way to begin our marriage.
Booyah.
