Honeymoon

**Don't forget to scroll down and check out yesterday's post about the actual wedding day, I posted late last night**

After riding away in our white limo, we headed for a restful evening in Little Rock's Embassy Suites Hotel. It was close to our home and we just wanted to rest for the next day's adventures. The hotel was nice. I had always seen it never went inside. We ordered room service and I will tell you that I did not sleep well even though I was exhausted. It was different....I had never slept in the same bed as a man before!! =) AND, I was just trying to replay the entire day's events in my head....I finally had time to think about and appreciate everything that happened to me that day. I couldn't stop my mind long enough to really go to sleep.

The next day we headed for Orlando, Florida! I had never been on a flight that was that long before but it wasn't bad at all. We stayed at the Embassy Suites in Orlando as well and it was super nice! I loved all of the palm trees! I had been to Florida before but only the pan-handle and I loved it. I did NOT love the heat though...I am not a summer kinda girl!

Our main reason for going to Florida was for Disney World. My husband LOVES Disney and has been to both parks SEVERAL times! I had never been and thought it would be neat to go. It was a blast but, again, it was SOOOOO INCREDIBLY HOT!!! During our trip there, we drove to Clearwater Beach to a place called Caladesi Island and then rode a ferry to a place called Honeymoon Island. It was really neat...I love the beach!

When we got home, we stayed 1 night at home, I think and then we went to Hot Springs to continue our honeymoon. We stayed at the Embassy Suites there (ha!) and it is THE NICEST ONE EVER!!!! It was great!!! We got massages and spa treatments (which I had never had before) and then visited some historical sites in Hot Springs before returning home to normal life! =) OH, and we ate at the best steak house I have ever eaten at...to date...and I have tried MANY...Coys!!! It is AMAZING!

Forgot to mention...we were in Florida during Hurricane Charley...it was NOT fun! We got stuck in our hotel with nothing but glo-sticks and it was bad but we never lost power! What an adventure!

We got married in the middle of my graduate school days, so when we got back from our honeymoon, I had to start my 2nd year of grad school (a married woman!!!!!) and Brice had to continue on with work! I am loving my life as a married woman and now as a Mommy! Brice makes me so incredibly happy. He provides for our family and loves us like no one else can!!!

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
