Halloween 2008
Posted by: poodlegoose on: 3 August, 2009
All of this wedding talk got me to thinking about all of the awesome-ness that was my wedding. Because there was quite a bit of awesome-ness.
Since I’ve already talked about my wedding ceremony a bit, I thought I’d show a bit of the reception. Because we used disposable cameras for some of the pictures, I only have a few to show. But these are good.
This is my beautiful last minute cake. The cake portion of the wedding planning was probably the hardest part of all. Which brings me to…
The ghost cake. I loved that ghost cake 
but it caused a bit of controversy.
“Honey Honey”
This is a photo taken from the disposable cameras on the tables. I think it’s super sweet.
We also had a guest book that consisted of dressing up and lots of fun props.
Tawa
We have awesome friends.
We also had really beautiful floral arrangements with red roses and various kinds of Halloween candy spread about on each table. It was in an art gallery, so there wasn’t much decorating we had to do. I do wish I’d better pictures of those facts, but I’m sure they’ll turn up.
He was leaning down because he got beamed in the head with a popcorn ball favor and was picking it up to throw back.
Overall, we had a wonderful evening with our family and friends, and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Such a wonderful day
Fall Wedding

We’ve been married 9 months. Nine months. Whoa. Babies live in tummies for nine months.
Over at Kelly’s Korner, she wrote about her wedding: the party and the flowers. It’s been a little while since I’ve thought about my wedding, so I really wanted to give this a try.
I had so many ideas for my wedding, as many of you can remember, most of the homemade or cheap. As it turns out, most of the ideas were not used (thank God), but I think that my wedding turned out so well. It was honestly one of the best days of my life, and my husband, Matthew, and I could not stop talking about how much we enjoyed everything. Because I haven’t really posted any pictures about my wedding on my blog, I thought it would be fun!
This picture actually shows how I wanted everything to look: kind of hazy, romantic with low lighting and as many candles as I could fit. I wanted things simple with medium ferns and long candles. I thought it looked perfect.
This is by far my favorite picture of the bridal party. I love the way their shoes and dresses and tuxes all look together. It is the the perfect representation of all of their personalities. We love them. And their Halloween socks.
The flowers were done by the woman who did our food. They looked beautiful and were a mixture of black (blood red) and ivory roses and another flower I can’t remember right now. I’m so good at remembering things. Can you identify them? They’re the dark burgundy ones. Tara? Audra?
This is my favorite picture of the two of us. And yes, we wore our awesome Chucks, and yes, we looked awesome in them.
Overall, there isn’t a whole lot I remember about that day. All I remember was the way Matthew looked when I walked down the aisle, the hazy way I felt, and how much fun we had. It was stressful before hand, but it was amazing the day of.
Up Again

I’m not sure if you read my last entry. If you didn’t, that’s ok… it was so depressing that I’m not sure if I’d read it if I knew what it was about.
Things today? Different. Much different.
I had a meeting with a potential job, and the girl who met with me? Works for a girl I went to school with and is great friends with both this school friend and another friend. That’s beyond ridiculous for me right now, and she was really sweet. I’m going to do some training tomorrow to see if this is what I want and see if I’m what they want. It should be part time, but that leads me to…
Violin! I never thought I’d be so happy to teach violin, but I am. I used to teach through a school, so I’d get paid less than I’d normally charge. I was happy to do it, though, because most of the people I teach are friends or friends of friends, so I didn’t mind giving them a deal. And yes, $50 for 10 lessons is a great deal.
Anyway, I just added on 2 more students to my list of 6 with the potential of 2-3 more. So, that should be extra monies in the pocket to take care of what my other job won’t, now that I’m teaching individually instead of through the school.
Aaaaaaaand there’s another really exciting opportunity that might be in the works. I can’t say much about it, but I will leave you with this: red velvet and cream cheese. ZOMG. I’ll let you know once the details are all worked out (if they are).
I’m being realistic in the back of my mind, but as it is, I’m being very optimistic and happy on my blog. Screw you, back of my mind.
Ok, now that I’m finished squealing like a little girl, let me ask you: How was your mid-week hump day? Did something really great happen to you? Did you get rain? Did your dog kiss you on the mouth? I’m so excited, I need to know!
