No Internet. Whaaaaat?!

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been MIA the last few days. For some reason, our internet at the house hasn't been working. As if living out in the middle of no where isn't rough enough, we can't seem to figure out what the deal is (two 30-minute-long convos with our provider and still NOTHING!!). No worries though; I'm sitting in the husband's office finally catching up on the last 72 hours of my life.

And just so you can see that I'm still alive and well...

Here I am! Just being cute and shooting a car commercial at work today. :)

I hope you all have a great evening! And hey--let's catch up on each others' lives soon, k? I miss y'all!

My husband referenced 'Friends' and it was fabulous.

So, the other night Luke and I were driving home from dinner in Corpus and we were just talking, catching up on each others' days and talking about the future. While chatting, my husband said something I never thought in a million years I'd hear come out of his mouth.

Sara: Babe, I'm booking a flight to New York REALLY soon.
Luke: Oh really.
Sara: Yup, I'm doin' it!
Luke: Doin' it, doin' it, phone, doin' it...

Oh. my. goodness!! He totally quoted Rachel from one of my favorite Friends episodes (The One Where Everyone Finds Out)!! I died. Seriously, this was the most hilarious things I've ever heard Luke say. I love the effects I have on that boy.

P.S. Happy 7 months of lovin' to Luke and me!

Whoops!

I'm linking up over at Recently Roached for this fun post about anything/everything that went wrong during our wedding. :)

The good news? Everything went pretty smoothly for the most part. The bad news? There is no bad news on this one! As "perfect" as everyone makes your wedding day out to be, there are going to be little hiccups. The most important thing to remember is that at the end of the day, you're married to the man of your dreams. And those little hiccups? They make for fun blog posts!

1) During the rehearsal dinner, Luke and his groomsmen started talking about their suits for the wedding. After checking in with all the guys, Luke realized that a couple of them had bought the wrong suit (we didn't rent tuxes like most). So at 9 a.m. the morning of our wedding, Luke met the guys at the mall to exchange their suits and get the right ones. The best part? He knew about this the night before the wedding and did not tell me, knowing that this would have stressed me out even more than I already was. He was an amazing husband even before we said "I do." :)

2) No one would have known this unless I told them, but the flowers did not turn out right. No biggie though, because they were still BEAUTIFUL! But our florist added flowers that I didn't ask for, especially in the centerpieces on the tables. But when you're a couple of hours out from the wedding and it's time to do your hair, do flowers really matter anymore? Nope!

3) See these sweet toasting flutes? We didn't get to toast with these. One of my little second cousins ran into the cake table during the reception and shattered one of them. So, we toasted with mason jars instead! They were fun, different, and it totally didn't make a difference in the long run!

Ok, I'm sitting here going through pictures, trying to think of any other "whoops!" incidents that we had, but the others really aren't worth detailing. Luke and I struggled to cut the cake, ha! I mean, come on. No one preps you for this part! The food was laid out wrong at first, but was quickly fixed before dinner was served. A few people had to sit outside by the cocktail tables because our venue was so full and that's a problem I was happy to have. I loved that our wedding was so full of friends and family!

Overall, our wedding day was amazing and I wouldn't trade a second of it for the world. Luke and I are celebrating 7 wonderful months of marriage on Wednesday and I just might look through all of my beautiful pictures for the umpteenth time to celebrate. :)
