Another Crazy Wedding Weekend Come and Gone

Well, we made it through another crazy wedding weekend.  This past week Andrew and I thought we might fall over from sleep deprivation, but we made it through and we are getting closer and closer to the Green Bay trip!  Have I mentioned how super excited I am about this trip?  I will let you know when pictures are posted from the weddings last weekend, it may be a little bit.  I can assure you the weddings were amazing!  By the end of the weekend, flowers and I had a love hate relationship.  I was mostly on the hate side.  Is there such a thing as too much of a good thing?  I think there can be, and I had enough of flowers for a while.  I am in luck though, my next flower fun isn't until the end of the month!  The month, why/how is it September already?  How can it be that Andrew and I are only a few short weeks from celebrating our first anniversary?  The time has flown!  It hasn't always been easy, but we have figured it out along the way.  We have kind of had a whirlwind year... we became an aunt and uncle, adopted Buddy, bought a house, started our adventures in weddings, bought a new car.  What will the rest of the year bring? Well, an AMAZING anniversary trip is one thing we have to look forward to.  Every wedding we work, I am reminded of how lucky I am to have my best friend by my side every day.  Sometimes I get kind of crabby and this last weekend I was just plain insane, but he puts up with me.  He stands by my side and reminds me to breathe and it too shall pass. 

For a moment, I would like to vent about a current annoyance.  As I sit here watching the democratic convention (before you jump my case, I would have also watched the republican convention but I was working last week), I wonder why we can't have an election year with no negative campaign ads.  Why can't we just have an election where each side voices their opinion and let the voters decide?  Is that too much to ask?  Now, I will tip my hat a little bit here, but I absolutely love Michelle Obama.  I think she is an amazing woman! 

Another vent, cell phones... smart phones are a pain in my butt.  Does anyone else have issues with their "smart phone"?  Perhaps Andrew has the right idea with his old school flip phone.  I don't think he will ever switch until he is forced to because they don't make flip phones phones anymore.  That will be a sad day for him.  The last time we got new phones the sales guy told him the next time around he may not be able to get a flip phone.  Needless to say, he wasn't very happy about it.  As for my smart phone, it sounded like a good idea when I got it, but as with all my cell phones I am getting sick of it after about a year.  Thank goodness for ebay and phones you can get to replace phones you don't like or, in Andrew's case phones you break.  I don't know what he does to his phones, but he goes through them like crazy.  The first phone he had when we were together was busted within a couple of months.  Be backed into a post at work and cracked the screen straight through.  Then we just wore out the screen on one of my old phones.  After that he had an old krzr and that seemed to last him the longest.  The phone we replaced what with last about 6 months before it became a casualty too.  Now, we are back to the krzr and as luck would have it, it has decided to crap out slowly.  When we plug it in to charge to have to put the charge cord just right, or it can sit on the charger all night and do nothing. 

Enough venting for tonight.  Now, I will leave you with a photo of Buddy's Halloween costume.  I think he is pretty much the cutest thing ever!
