Wedding Day California Style!

Tuesday morning dawned {and by dawned Skip and I slept in till 9} and it was wedding day!!  Skip and I didn't have to be ready till 2, so we spent another relaxing morning together.  We drove around a bit more and stopped at a cute little bagel place for an early lunch.

Sadly the bagel was not quite up to Jersey standards, but it got the job done.


We headed back to the hotel to take our time getting ready.  Finally it was time to meet up with some family and caravan down to Malibu for the ceremony and reception!

The ride down took about 45 minutes and was absolutely beautiful...





...but it was nothing compared to the gorgeous wedding site!  It truly was breathtaking.  Skip and I had some time before we were needed for pictures, so we just wandered around and snapped some pics for ourselves.



Cousins!


My own personal secret service





Me and the groom!

I made Skip do this, haha

The groom and his sister!
Then it was time to jump in some professional pictures!





The wedding started at 6:00pm.  The ceremony was outside and just perfectly my cousin and his new wife.



We then headed right inside for the reception.  It was such a fun time!  There was eating, drinking, toasting, and lots and lots of dancing!!  My kind of wedding!  It is so nice that Skip is so close with my family and what were once my friends, are now his friends too.  This enable us time to spend together at the wedding, but also the freedom to go off and mingle with others as well.



After the reception we helped get the bride and groom to their hotel and then made a very necessary stop at In N Out Burger!  I'll be honest, I only had the fries, but I was not all that impressed.  Skip did get a burger off the "super secret menu" though, which he really liked!

We brought it back to the condos and hung out with some of the boys.  It was a nice way to end our family/friend time in California.  We still had a whole day left in CA, but we wouldn't be hanging out with anyone else again.  And it was definitely sad to say goodbye:(  We keep trying to convince my cousin to get all of us together again every two years!

30 Miles in 30 Days

Happy Thursday everyone!  I'll be honest, I almost didn't link up today.  Mainly because there's really not much to report.  Here's what I did:   Thursday September 19 - none Friday - nothing Saturday - 2.5 mile walk Sunday - nada Monday - zip Tuesday - nothin' Wednesday - no thing Weekly Total - 2.5 August total - 31.4 Yeaaaaaah...so that whole 50, maybe 60 miles I was hoping for this month is not going to happen.  In my defense, I seem to have come down with the plague and have been sick all week.  Saturday was the only day I felt kind of normal.  I always have trouble pushing myself when I have a cold to workout, and normally end up just sitting on the couch under a blanket instead.  I really do miss working out though and will hopefully be able to get a little something done to finish out the month. What about you?  Do you still workout when you're sick?  How do you motivate yourself?

The Movers Concert!

Image
Sooo, I totally didn't mean to take this mini blogging break.  But life has just been crazy busy and on the go the past few days that there was no time!  It was nice though to just step away from pretty much all social media and just LIVE.  This weekend was good for my soul and I will be doing a few catch-up posts to fill you all in! The fun began on Thursday afternoon.  Way back in October, Skip and I heard that that Imagination Movers were doing a concert nearby.  You know, these guys from the Disney Channel... They once aired a concert of theirs on the Disney Channel and Little M is OBSESSED.  We have it saved on the DVR, and she wants to watch it at least 3 times a week.  So when we heard about the tickets in October, we were really tempted.  But we didn't know if she would still be interested in them, and with our trip to Disney, we were saving all the money we could. Well fast forward to two weeks ago.  Little M was asking to watch the ...

What to wear in September

Image
I don't know what the weather is like where you live, but here in Jersey the weather gets a little strange here once the calender switches to September.  It's still really warm during the day {70's and 80's} but it drops down to the 60's, 50's and sometimes even 40's at night.  And since it's post labor day, it's not exactly appropriate to be rocking all my summer favorites.  So this often poses a real challenge when it comes to clothes. The past few years, since I'm a SAHM, I have just lived in yoga pants, a tank top, and a zippie {a zip-up hooded sweatshirt} most of the time.  But since I have to take Emmy to school now, I don't want to be that frumpy mom standing in the pick-up and drop-off area.  Here are some of the outfits I've been throwing together.  I've been working hard on finding things that I can easily add or take away clothes as the temperature changes, instead of changing my outfit 109834598 times a day. {Sorry for the...
