It's OVER!

And it's back to the regular work week!

I really don't know what to say...I'm married, that basically covers it :) It's been an amazing week and I know it'll just keep getting better (not easier, but better).

As most of you know, I'm a control freak, a perfectionist and a "planner". But I'm happy to report that even with those tendancies, in my mind my day went PERFECT. It's not even that I just had to let go of stuff (which I did, but mainly during planning), but God blessed us with calm nerves, helpful and extremely generous friends & family, and a smooth, flawless day. I couldn't have asked for anything more! Here are just a few of my favorite pictures so far (check out my facebook or myspace for more, or go to the website).

Something old (my mom's pearl necklace), something new (my white Rainbow flip-flops), something borrowed (Matt's mother's hanky from her wedding) & something blue (the bow on my polka-dot garter, made by my mom).

Right after I was given away, singing our favorite hymn, "Before the Throne"

Becca, my cousin & one of my bridesmaids, wiping away mascara-tear streaks.

Ok, I would have put the one of us with Michael & Jessica but Jessica hates that picture of herself, so until we get it photoshopped a little, here's one of Matt, me, and his brother & best man, Michael.

CAKE!! Paradise cake with whipped cream frosting from the King's Hawaiian Restaurant & Bakery in Torrance, CA. The most AMAZING cake ever on earth! Sadly, we didn't get a chance to eat our slices that night :(

Coronado was AMAZING and the resort we stayed at was wonderful (here's my plug, stay at Loews Resorts, they're all over the US). I don't have the pictures from that uploaded onto my computer yet but I'll add them when I do.

5...4...3...2...1...

5 days to go! And I made my goal of being done with wedding prep a week before the wedding! Well...almost (which was the goal of my goal haha). All I have left to do is finish up the slideshow, do the beading on my veil, wrap my attendants gifts and put together the kid's favors. Oh, and finish packing for the honeymoon. I'd get more of that done today only now I'm not feeling very well. I've got a killer headache and keep getting dizzy and lightheaded when I stand up. So I'm taking it easy and drinking more water.

But really, I'm so not stresed or nervous or scared. I'm just ready to be married and start my life with Matt. We moved all his stuff into my apartment over this past weekend. It's weird to see his clothes hanging in the closet. The apartment is a disaster right now with all my wedding stuff, all of Matt's stuff, and then all the boxes from all the shower and wedding gifts.

Oh, speaking of gifts, we've recieved 2 sets of our dishes and our vacuum in the mail but the packages didn't say who they were from. So if they're from you, please let me know so we can send thank you cards!
