Wedding Recovery

I'm gradually recovering from the two months of wedding planning craziness!  I let myself have a couple lazy days where I did a few things but mostly watched some shows and took a nap- it was the best!

One of my favorite parts of having more time at this stage of life is when a friend says, "I'm in a bind, can you watch my cute baby?" I can say yes!  It's so much easier to enjoy the baby stage when you only have them part-time!

Charlotte is my kid always up for picture- and always trying to win a Taylor Swift concert ticket, talk me into letting her get instagram early and drive somewhere with her friends.

This shot cracks me up!  Our new brother-in-law Spencer had a birthday!  We got to have them over for the yummy pazookie that Marti made him, and his nice aunt and cousin came too.

Olly is in the front seat with me but I got to feed & drive this car of cuties to the homecoming game!  It was a lot of fun- the parking lot was crazy though!  They got covered in colored chalk.

My flowers blooming always makes me happy!  I planted a bunch more, proud of these ones making it through the last of the heat (we hope!).

The Friday and Saturday after the wedding had beautiful 70-degree breezy weather.  I was jealous the wedding day was so hot.  I'm glad it wasn't so windy though.

Matt and I went on a week-night date to this new restaurant Mensho Ramen- Japanese food in Riverview.  The first time Matt went they had a super long line but we had no line this time. You could tell it was authentic because so many people in there were Japanese- I love that they yell out a greeting when you enter and leave.  It was a little bit of an adventure for me but pretty good- Matt loves it.  There is a softboiled egg in there and several types of meat- beef, duck, chicken.

As crazy as wedding week was it was so fun to have all of my siblings in town!  It made me sad to throw away the cups at the end of the week.  Matt was nice to make a big yummy pot of chili on Thursday night, get pizzas on Friday night and make a bunch of french toast on Saturday morning so I could focus on wedding stuff and still feed whatever family was available. Alyn & three of her kids stayed with us one night when they got to town and Cody's family stayed with us for two nights for the wedding. Getting to see my siblings and their families is my favorite thing- so glad they could all come!  As always I should have taken more pictures of the people but I was too busy hosting and enjoying it I guess!
