Christmas in July!

Merry Christmas to you! Here is a post - I think it's my 100th (serious blogger over here), so its a gift to you. Cherish this one, guys. 

Life has been busy lately - filled with little J, wedding planning, and work. Really exotic going-ons over here. oh I wish you could see my eyes roll.

Just kidding, things have been great. James and I finally tied the knot. wahoo. It was such a fun day that flew by, just as everyone had told me it would. It was definitely a party and i was reminded that I definitely know a lot (LOT) of PARTY PEOPLE. Our wedding was at my family's church in South Minneapolis and it was just as hot and sweaty as every summer wedding i've been to there, before. We then piled into an over-the-top Hummer super-limo and tok some fab pics at Loring Park, then rushed the veranda and Clubhouse at Brit's Pub. Oh man, the night was just on fire! :) Dancing, drinks, dancing, people losing their clothes, drinks... and I woke up a married woman. Who needs vegas!?

Baby J was a superstar, of course, and due to the craziness of the day and his super cute 3 piece suit, he was kind of an emotional mess and stole the show - as we all knew he would. He was not super pumped to walk down the aisle, so my dad ended up carrying little J in one arm and escorting me with the other. Not ideal, but makes for a fun story. :) I will post a funny pic of the little affair. please forgive my creepy smile and just look at how cute my dad and BBJ are!!! awwwwe!!

James and I went to Maine for a 4 day honeymoon and had a fab time. Of course we had to be back in Mpls so he could work on Friday (so dumb!!) so I therefore think I am entitled to a REAL honeymoon this winter. :) that's fair, right?

I could go into more details, but I will just throw down some pics from the last 6 months and let the images do the talking. enjoy!
