I Won, and More Pics From Home

Yesterday I got an email from Julie, she wanted to let me know that I'd won the gorgeous bracelet that she was giving away. I'm so excited, I can't wait to wear it on Valentines Day. I love that I'll be able to change the picture in it whenever I'd like. Julie has some beautiful jewelry on  her website, y'all should really go check her site out. She's going to have more give aways in the future so y'all...sign up!

I still have more pics from home to post. These are just from various nights out and "snap shots" that I took during my trip.

 {I'd love to know why my face looks so FAT??}

 {uugh...spoon making}

My sister and I made these "party favors" for Destiny's wedding. For three nights, all we did was make these damn spoons. I don't want to ever see another one as long as I live lol. We made over 200 of them, and I think they were all gone by the end of the wedding. 

 {half way finished}

 {anybody want a spoon?}

{a spoonful of ♥}

{they did look good on the table though}

Tomorrow I'll post the professional pics from the wedding. I can't wait for y'all to see them! 

You want to know what irks me?

Yes I actually sat down and made a list. I've been up since Tuesday morning...give me a break. But before I tell y'all what irks me, how cute is it in here? I had to get rid of those drab colors that were in here. It was boring me to death. These colors are much "cheerier" don't ya think?

Ok...here's my list. I know you're dying to know!

* Those fake bullet hole decals that people put on their cars. Really?

 {a PT Cruiser and fake bullet holes? Loser}

* Senior citizen day at the grocery store. Must you really go buy some bananas just so you can say you got your damn discount you old biddy?

* Senior citizens telling the cashier that they are indeed a senior citizen. Trust me honey...they KNOW. We all know.

* Senior citizens who don't realize they're senior citizens.

 {Eww. I mean, being a skank is bad enough, but an old skank? Just nasty}

*  Hubby's playstation rage when he's playing Black Ops.

 {I still love ya honey}

* My dogs horrible case of the walking farts. In front of company.

{poor kitty} 

* Being up for almost three days straight. And being wide the eff awake. Damn it.

{really, I probably look worse than this} 

* My neighbors frickin' dog who I'm ready to kill cause all it does is bark.all.damn.day.and.night.

{bite that bitch already!}

* My neighbor, whom I'd love to beat the ever living shit out of for leaving the above mentioned dog outside all.damn.night.

 {oh yes I would!}

* Drama whores. Yes, there will be a blog entry on this subject. I know...you're looking forward to it.

Well, now that I've told you all what irks the livin' shit out of me, I think I might try to lay down and FINALLY get some sleep.

Night, oops I mean morning y'all!

Wedding Snapshots

I can't wait until the professional pics are ready. I know she's my Godchild (and Niece) but I don't think I've ever seen a bride glow like she did. She wasn't all stressed out like most brides I've seen, she was happy and relaxed.

{Nannie's Doodle Bug all grown up}

{She'd kill me if she knew I still call her that lol}

 {Destiny's daughter Farrah...she did such a good flower girl job}

 {Amanda's oldest daughter Kira, she loves the camera}

 {Amanda's daughters Kira and Malia or Kiki and Mimi as I like to call them}

 {Do NOT take pics of the bride while she's sneaking a sammich!}

 {Destiny and her big brother (my nephew) Eric}

{My beautiful Nieces and Nephew} 

 {Amanda and Kiki}

{The brides best friends from grade school Sarah and Amber}

It was so funny when Destiny and Amber first started "hanging out" together. Amber's Mom and I have been friends since we were 17 years old. She's more like a sister to me than a friend.  

 {Kiki the camera ham}

 {Amanda's husband Luis and son Maddox}

 {Rusty walking the Mother and step mother of the bride down the isle}

Rusty found out minutes before the ceremony began that he'd be doing this lol. He wasn't too happy about it. 

 {Destiny dancing with her Daddy}

 {Amanda and Maddox}

The wedding party dance.... 

{Jessica and her groomsman/men?? lol can't remember his name} 

 {Amanda and her groomsman}

 {Jonah and I}

What?? OK...so I remember his name. Trust me, I heard it being said enough by his girlfriend who never left his side. Even when we were dancing she was right there on the side of the dance floor lol. Actually she was a really sweet girl.  

 {Destiny and Brock aka the bride and groom}

 {Amanda and I}

Everyone thinks she's my daughter when we go out together. Note to self: two people wearing the same shade of red in the same type of fabric should never stand stomach to stomach lol. We look like Siamese twins joined at the stomach. Which is fine if the tummy was flat but it's not. We both look knocked up. WTH? 

 {The Grooms first dance with his new MIL}

I'm sure she was totally threatening him at his point lol. "If you ever hurt my daughter I'll...." She's my big Sister and she's tough as hell. He'd be wise to listen!!

 {Cheers bitches}

 {Destiny dancing with her Poppie}

Can I just say how amazing my Daddy looks? He's 70 y'all. The man doesn't have a gray hair on his head. Now his mustache/goatee is a different story. He looks great though!!

 It's a Cajun tradition for older unmarried brothers and sisters of the bride or groom to dance with a broom at the wedding reception--thus mocking their single status. This will explain the following pictures.

 {The grooms older sister Daphne dancing with Mr Broomstick}

 {get it girl}

 {Destiny laughing at her Dad's dancing skills}

 {lol look at his face...he's into it}

 {speaking of faces lol, look at Amanda's! You just know she's thinking "Eww you skank!}

{I have no idea who she's looking at but it better not be me damn it} 

 {Eric shakin' his groove thang}

 {to the right, to the right...Cupid Shuffle}

I'm in love with these next few pics, I'm sure you'll understand why. 

 {Rusty and I}

 {he may love his Momma, but he hates taking pics}

 {I'm only doing this because I love you Ma}

 {Oh come on Ma! That's enough!}

 {last one, I swear}

 {Destiny and Farrah dancing with their Dad/Grandpa

 {Destiny and Farrah with Destiny's Grandpa}

 {um Amanda, we should talk about these faces you make when you're dancing lol}

 {See look at your face girl}

 {I can totally tell that Destiny and Amanda are sisters lol. Those faces. With Amber and Sarah}

 {Me...backin' that thang up}

The rest of these were taken with my Blackberry so they're not very clear but I wanted to include them anyway. 

 {I just realized...I didn't even taste the cake lol}

 {Destiny and her Nanny}

 {Daddy and Kiki (his great grand daughter) dancing.

I'm so proud of Destiny. She did an amazing job on the wedding, I honestly can't believe she pulled off a wedding as nice as she did while working full time, having a one year old at home and a husband who works offshore. Without a wedding planner or caterer. 

Don't get me wrong, they had a lot of help. Brock's (the groom) Mom and my Sister and I all busted our behinds that night. Not to mention all the other people who helped decorate and then stayed late to help clean up the hall.  We laughed through all of it though, and I can only speak for myself, but it made me feel good to be able to help my baby girl out like that!

I hope you've enjoyed the pics! More to come from my trip home.
