First Day of Spring

I can't believe it snowed on the first day of Spring, and on top of that, on Krista's Wedding. It was a pretty snow, but made the logistics of a wedding a little more difficult. Especially when the first thing on the list of the day is to get your hair done. I was a little nervous. The woman that did mine, took it down and redid it 6 times. Seriously. It turned out cute. I don't have any pics of the back, but it was cute.
Krista is a good friend of mine that I met at Barnes & Noble. It's funny, from every job I've ever had, I've always picked up another good friend along the way! This is her daughter, Maddie. Maddie and Addie!

Bless her heart, being pregnant for weddings is no fun!
Especially at the bachelorette party. We had a good time kickin it up at Wild Whiskey after a good dinner at Murry's. Yum.
The wedding was at Stephens Chapel. I had never been in there. It's very pretty and cozy. The bridesmaids dresses were very pretty and of course so was Krista.
The wedding was beautiful and I'm really glad you asked me to be apart of Krista, thank you and congratulations!

So, I have to share a few funny stories. Friday, Alex started having some dizzy spells again. So, I'm trying to figure out what his "triggers" are. So, Friday morning he wants OJ for breakfast. OJ, pizza, MSG and some other items are just the very tip of the iceberg that can trigger a migraine. I let him have it to see what would happen and he informs me later that he ate pizza for lunch. After lunch, he starts having dizzy spells. So, I'm discussing this with random people throughout the whole day yesterday as the whole bridal party participates in the day of the wedding logistics, getting things ready, etc. I'm trying to explain that it's so hard to determine what's a trigger because there are so many possibilities, the bariatric pressure being one them. Talking about his all day long. That maybe it's the snow storm that rolled in that caused him to start with the dizzy spells. It wasn't until later that night, at the reception when I'm catching up with Martin and explaining this to him that he says, "I think it's barometric pressure." Right. That's what I thought I had been saying all day. I know what bariatric is, and it has nothing to do with the weather. It is more familiar to me and I use it often, from work, and it's just what came out instead. How embarrassing. I do this all of the time. It's crazy. I'm sure nobody really cared about what I was rambling about any so they probably didn't catch it. I hope.

At the reception there was wine, Thank God, yummy food and music. The kids had a blast and both of my kids ran out onto the dance floor when AC/DC came on. Addie, yelling, it's AC/DC! Alex, kept the dance floor hoppin by making requests of Bon Jovi, Journey, Toby Keith and Michael Jackson all night. They get their wealth of music knowledge from their dad. The whole family had a blast dancing the night away. When the night was winding down and the kids were ready to go, Martin ended the night perfectly by requesting Close Enough To Perfect by Alabama for me. I know, it's mushy, but it was a perfect way to end the night.

Congrats Krista and Damien. I wish you the best!

  1. Very interesting about the dizzy spells. I had them growing up and it was determined to be "orthostatic hypotension" which is a fancy way of saying low blood pressure. They get more frequent during the change of seasons because (as a doctor told me) your blood thickens and thins depending upon the temperature and barometric pressure. Does he ever have them when he gets up after sitting down for a long time?

  2. Beautiful pictures!!! I love the dresses! You and Krista look great! It sounds like it was a fun night. I'm glad you all made it home safely. I've heard the roads got pretty slick.

    Bariatric... barometric... whatever.

  3. We did the whole orthostatic thing and they say it's migraines. I know, weird.

    The roads were slick, but not real bad. We didn't have too far to go however.

  5. Angela--that's really weird but interesting. My sister had the same thing as me and got migraines later in life and her doc said the two were connected. So weird how our bodies work. But it's good that of all the things it could be, migraines/blood pressure issues are minor.
