one of those days.
so it's been one of those days where your expectations are higher than normal and yet realistic. and you STILL come away disappointed.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US. yeah 11 years ago, on a Saturday, that was a full moon. we got married, in what is now OUR backyard. i had Fuchsia gerbera Daisies, and yellow roses for my bouquet, family members wore black, and the guys all had matching black flowered ties that my mom made to match. I wore white satin, with silk ribbon embroidery and pearls that my mom sewed for me, i wore a borrowed veil from my fave sister-in-law. we were married under the peach trees that are now gone. Lance walked me down the aisle . (since i pretty much hated my dad) we were married by our singles ward bishop, Bishop Kempton, in front of our families. and some friends, looking back though, I have no idea why I didn't invite more of my friends to the ceremony. only a couple. the reception immediately followed with a receiving line of just me and Lance.
Lance's brother Matt did our wedding pictures. I never put them in an album, and tonight as I was looking for them I realized I have absolutely no idea where they are, or when the last time I saw them was.
i am beginning to panic, and wonder if they were in teh boxes of "treasures" that got ruined last fall . ( all my stuff that i stored, and moved back and forth and all over, carefully , got stupidly put on the side of the house to be ruined and rained on last fall. i'm not exactly sure what was lost, yearbooks, letters, pictures. since i can't find the wedding pictures i'm afraid they were in there too. and the office is a wreck with remodel stuff ,and ceiling fans in the way, that i can't dig, and make sure they are in fact safe, so i fear the worst). so no wedding picutres to post. but i did have a great time looking through the pictures i could find, loads of the first 3 kids, and you wouldn't know we had the other 3 looking at the stacks. welcome to the digital age. but i digress ,what i'm saying is there are none to post. i'm fairly sick over it. but it's par for the course today.
Lance was on a camporee with 11 year old scouts. he got home or i should say i saw him around 3:30 today.
today we had a full day-
this morning Paxton had basketball at 8:00.
eyebrow wax with Jaime at 9:15 ( Thanks Jamie)
CVS for benedryl
home to go potty and grab a clean shirt for Pierce(cookie slime)
haircuts for the boys at sportsclips until 11:30
i had a lunch date with my boys at Applebee's from 12-1 including dessert first.
we ran to target until 2:15 and ran into Maria(my sister, and i gave her her movie tickets)
home to go potty for 5 minutes
basketball for Peyton game at 3-grandma Joann brought the girls there and watched the game too. RAGAMUFFINS, i was so embarrassed to claim them. Lance showed up for the tail end of this game.
game at 4. joann left
drop by fave brothers house to drop off movie fun tickets, and pick up lance's bag he forgot.
Drop off Lance @ super cuts for lance's haircut. (family pictures tomorrow,nothing like the last minute to get hair cuts)
get golden spoon frozen yougurt for me and the kids while we wait.
come home right about the time the sitter is on her way. and our house is a freaking pit. there is no way we could get the basement babysitter ready, and everyone is exhausted. and cranky!
so we canceled, going out wasn't worth the stress, when we are so tired it wouldn't even be fun.
i laid down before i had a breakdown.
got up when my mom came to get the girls.
looked for pictures, and looked through all that i could find.
and here we are. long day. long couple of days. I'm about to lose it. totally on the verge of total breakdown. so i'm going to bed.

I'm so sorry about not being able to find your pictures. When things like that happen to me I - it completely takes over me and I can't think or deal with anything until I find what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, I can't always find things and it's so hard for me to get over. I continue to obsess about whatever it is. At times like that I hate that my house is a unorganized pit. Well, I always hate it, but when I'm one one then I really hate it. Good luck with finding them. I hope they are tucked away in a safe place and you can find then soon. Good luck.
FUSCHIA Gerbera Daisies...I can totally see it!!! :) You are so awesome. I bet those bright flowers looked so pretty up against your white gown.
And *YAY* for the brow wax! Nothin' like it. I always like my face 100% better after a brow wax.
No! No breakdowns! Take a rest day, sister. Mandatory rest day. Get those family photos over with, and then hibernate for 24 hours.
I mean it. Get back to me on that. Love ya.
i am so sorry that today was not everything you never even wished for but hoped might happen and more. i feel ya. been there.
i am imagining your fuschia gerbera daisies and all i can do is smile...i love all shades of PINK gerbera daisies...my fave...
i am sure the pics will turn up...think good thoughts. they are just in a really safe place. once the dust settles in your house you will find them.
i hope tomorrow is better and brighter!!
I hope you find your pics. I would be stressing too. And wow busy day. Hope you get a long nap today. And you and Lance can go out another day. It won't be THE day, but it will still be with him and that's what matters most.
i hope you find your pics. i totally know that feeling of thinking something is lost and being sick about it. i also know what it's like to feel like you are about to lose it. here's hoping that you and lance get the fun anniversary date you deserve. yellow roses and fuschia gerbera daisies sound AMAZING. so glad we could keep in touch, at least this way. hugs for you.
I am sorry you are having a tough time. Hang in there, I'll send you some good vibes!
Happy Anniversary!!! I remember coming to your reception, lol late as I always am when I am waiting on Jeff, so I think we got there 10 minutes before you and Lance left. Sorry you can't find your pics, I hate stressing about something that I can't really do anything about. Have a nice relaxing day today (I know you have pics) but other than that try and relax. And I agree with Tam you can celebrate another day, doesn't have to be on THE day.
I remember your wedding it was pretty.I have a picture of me at your wedding about 8 months pregnant , but none of you. sorry, I hope they are not ruined and you find them some day.
Honey, it sounds like you need to farm out your kids nad take a long weekend with just Lance. Go to a fun resort in Scottsdale. We do it once a year(usually our anniversary or one of our birthdays) and I highly recommend it for sanity reasons. Who are your boys that you had a lunch date with? Your boyfriends, or your sons? I hope # 12 is a lot better, and I hope you find your wedding pics!
I agree... sometimes it is NOT worth the hassle to go out, even for an anniversary!
Sometimes a Just because date night is just as wonderful!
I hope you find your pictures!!
happy Anniuversary. I always get my hopes up too - then reality hits.
Happy Anniversary. Your day sounds alot like my 10th. It really wasn't the dreamy day that I hoped it would be either. Hope that you get a good night out in the coming week!!
I think something must be in the air-because I have been totally feeling the same way lately!!!! I don't think we've had a "normal" anniversary yet. David's had work or been out of town or I've been in charge of Enrichment night. I hope that you find the wedding pics!! That would be sad to loose those! If you do find them, you'll have to post them!! I love "memory lane" pictures! They are so fun!
I am so sorry. I owe you for the benedryl!! Hope I did not scare you away!! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! You did not say a thing when you were at my house! Sure hope things get better soon!!!
♥ Happy Anniversary!!! I'm crossing my fingers for you that the pictures are safe and hidden in your office!!!
Happy Anniversary! Sorry it wasn't as spectular as they tell you it will be. But, you had fuschia gerber daisies at your wedding. Who could ask for more?
Happy Anniversary JULIE! Sounds like Anniversaries falling on the 19th of April all went the same this year!! 11 years seems like eternity for me sine 5 almost didn't make it this year! Keep on going lady!!
I hope you had a better day today!!!
Sorry your day was a bummer. I hope you can find those wedding pics ... someday. I'm sure they're great! I hope you're having a better day today!!!!
Happy Anniversary! I had everyone in black too and my fave flower of all time::::FUSHIA GERBER DAISIES!!!!!!! LOVE IT!
i hope you find your pics. take care you and take a break!!!!!
Happy Anniversary! Sorry it was such a long day & you were too tired to even go out. You wedding colors were awesome!
Oh- gosh I hope your pictures weren't ruined. That happened to me at the first of this year and it just kills you-- doesn't it. Well did your brother person who took the pictures happen to keep the negatived or a file saved of them on disc? Hopefully he had the negatives somewhere.
Happy 11 years together. I really hope you find your pictures because I am wanting to see that boquette.
what a busy day! I hope you guys get to go out soon and celebrate and enjoy sometime to yourselves!
Happy Anniversary (late, as I always am...)!! Sounds like you had a fairly normal day for you...I'm with Crystal, you need a rest day--or two!
We never really stop much for our anniversary either. Sigh.
I hope hope HOPE that you find your pictures. It makes me a little sick too thinking that you can't find them!!
So sorry you are in a funk. Happy anniversary! 11 years is amazing! Not many couples get to that mark these days. Hope those photos pop up soon. Feel better!
