Confessions
Let's start our first Friday with a format change with Confessions.
Re: Confessions
I could go for a confessions, too.
I confess I spend way too much time reading random people's blogs. And I don't know if that's normal or not.
I confess that I don't miss TK. At all. I miss several ladies. But, not the topics or conversations. I am liking my new home on TN much more.
Bio
I'm so glad we did confessions today because I have a doosey.
The more I think things through the more I'm thinking that I DO kinda want a kid. This is a scary thing that I'm admitting that I do want one, but I do.
Just don't tell DH because he would have us trying now!
Oh I'm so sorry. Have you asked guests for pictures they might have?
Yes, I have some pics... but I just had a little bit higher hopes.
I'm cosidering booking a "day after" session with a different photog.
Bio
Awwwwwwwww
Bio
Brianna- Check your fb messages in about 5 mins.
I confess that I do not want to have a child....but I don't understand why everyone stares at me like Im crazy. It really annoying because not everyone wants kids!!
Also, I confess that it really upset me to hear about the squirel (sp?) that got pepper sprayed by the school police officer in Mesquite. I was so mad to find out he is not getting any kind of repremand!!!
I understand. Our ceremony pictures were seriously lacking. I don't even think we got one of us walking down the aisle and the only one of us walking back after being married, I have a dumb ass look on my face.
A "day after" session is a great idea.
I confess it bothers me that DH wants a baby so bad, and I don't. Makes me feel that once a baby comes, I'm going to be chopped liver.
You sent me a letter?!
I emailed you back! lol

Brianna, I didn't get one of my sister (MOH) walking down the aisle. I got everyone else but for some reason my sister wasn't in there. My older sister who was MatronOH that was right after got a picture and the girl right before but not my little sister. I was upset but I think she was most upset.
My confessions is that I secretly think DH is gonna annoy me when we are on our cruise because he is so hard to entertain and I'm more of a sit by the pool and do nothing type. He is going to want to do something 24/7. He can't just sit still and enjoy doing nothing. I've already packed my book and sunscreen and have planned a few good hours a day doing nothing but sitting by the pool. I'm hoping BILs will be able to keep him entertained while the girls relax at the pool!
We go back and forth on having kids. We both love all our freedom but we also adore our nieces and having them. We seriously change our minds within one breath!
I'm confessing that I'm getting burned out at our office. Not so much busy burned out but just after 10 years I'm not super motivated. Blah.
We went on a Royal Caribbean cruise for our HM in Nov. 2010, and this is us exactly. I LOVE laying out...DH hates it! But I promise you will unknowingly compromise. We had such a blast and were never bored. We also spent a lot of time in the casino
gambling is one thing we didn't know we had in common until the cruise (neither of us had ever gambled haha) but we walked away winning more than we lost!! So YAY!!
You will love the cruise! It was our first one and we are now OBSESSED! We already have another booked in Nov. of this year and are looking for another in May 2012
Summer - My DH really wants two kids. Not anytime soon, but he definitely wants them. He is really open to adoption but wants at least one of his own. I'm okay with it in theory, but when I think about the actual process it scares the crap out of me.
Brianna - McGowan, McGowan, McGowan! You should get one of those style shoots that Meagan designs. They are so awesome.
I confess that I lurk on TK, but really like the Nest. I'm looking forward to a G2G. The reason I didn't go to some of the G2G's before was because I feel like I'd have nothing in common with a bunch of giddy soon-to-be brides since I was married already. I went to the pottery one and loved it, and was really looking forward to the 5K... but mostly because it was the cool Knotties and OMH's.
I confess that I really, really hate baseball.
I also really, really dislike bandwagon fans for any sport.
That is all for now.
Bio
I confess that I hate having my WR stuff pop up in my siggy over here. Is there not a way to change them based on which site you post on?!?!
Oh and I like the smileys over here more.
And I also confess I'm really nervous helping Bobbileigh pull off the whole rims on Matt's car during the wedding tonight. I have to go from work to Fairytale Manor to take the keys from his best man and get to Firestone all before 6:30. EEP!
I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
I confess that as much as I need to talk to my boss about all the problems at work, I really don't want to.
Yeah, I saw it. I think if I were her though, I would have been just as upset.
Are you familiar with where Fairytale Manor is? I live like 5 minutes away and pass by it all the time. Just to warn you, there is a ton of construction going on around it.

Ummmm....HELLO this IS confessions right?
Spill!!
Luckily I've been to a wedding there before so I know the area it's in. Bobbileigh called me this morning to warn me about the construction so I'm leaving work at 4:45ish to allow myself plenty of time to get there.
I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
I confess to lurking and have posted once or twice when I felt I was offering something.
I confess that Amanda's phrase "make brain hurty hurt" is my new favorite phrase. I may have to use it.
I confess that I don't understand why parents of seniors all of a sudden feel the need to be helicopter parents. No, the girls are supposed to be doing prom either by themselves or with my help. This is not supposed to be a parent involved process. When will they learn to do it themselves if they don't do it now?
Well, it wasn't that part of it... it was the emails afterwards that rubbed me the wrong way. Genuinely, my photog explained the whole thing to Chelsea about how she booked the hotel (by googling 'boutique dallas hotels') and was very nice about it. Chelsea messaged me personally too to try and clear the air, but the messages she sent me felt a little snotty.
HOWEVER, I think that she is wonderfully talented and I know that people will continue to book and love her. Maybe her tone got lost in translation, but I just walked away from it.

I am excited for you guys to pull this off. I think Matt will love it. I am glad that you and Bobbi are close enough for her to depend on you for this too, when she first moved her and knew no one I just wanted to hug her.
I have a whole lot of confessions...
First, I confess that I have no idea how to post on this site unles I reply to someone else's comment.
Next, I confess that I have no idea what is going on. I leave town for a week and everyone is on the nest. I also confess that I am to busy (or maybe just lazy) to go back and read to see what prompted this.
Third, I had a great Flame, and now there is no FFF. It was about fortune cookies. They never have fortunes in them anymore, just some crappy "feel good" statement. I want a freaking fortune in my cookie people!

Drama. That is all. Don't worry about it.
Wendi, if you see Bobbileigh tonight, please tell her not to be disappointed if he doesn't notice right away. DH and I were so lost in the moment that night that major details escaped us all night. In fact, when we had our exit he grabbed my brothers tuxedo jacket. My brother is about a foot taller than DH, so in all of our exit pictures the sleeves cover his hands and he looks like he was a little kid in his dad's jacket. Funny now, but we were both totally oblivious then.
I know she is super excited, and it is a great present, I just hope she will not get upset if he doesn't immediately notice.
