Group Photos

Since my grandmothers were watching our wedding from above I wanted to carry something of theirs on my special day. I wore Mimi's (my mom's mom) gold wedding band and carried Grandma's (my dad's mom who passed away two weeks before our wedding) oldest rosary. I so wished they could have shared this day with me, but I know they were sending down blessings from above.

The first time we saw each other :-)

The whole group!

Clayton and I chose to see each other before the wedding since we were getting married late (7pm) because of Saturday night mass. I am walking down the aisel to him :)

November 7, 2009: Wedding Day

So, here I am a little over 8 months later finally blogging about our wedding! Everything went incredibly smooth, we had a wonderful weekend surrounded by our friends and family.

Clayton and I both headed to Waco the Wednesday before our wedding. Before leaving I had informed my students that I would be gone for a week and a half (keep in mind I taught in a middle school Autism unit) because I was getting married and going to the beach. I got several interesting questions about me being gone, but my favorites were:

Is there a pool there?
Are you going to come back pregnant (I about died when Christian asked that)?

Do I have to call you Mrs. Young when you get back, because I like Ms. Goertz better?

When we arrived to Waco we met with our photographer (Rebecca Cash) to go over last minute details. On Thursday I put together the gifts for the wedding party. That evening several family members got to town and my parents had a cook out, then everyone pitched in to help me tie bows on the wedding programs (I think there were around 400...about 3/4 of the way through Adrienne and I had to make a trip to Walmart looking for more ribbon at about 10 pm....we bought all the cream ribbon we could find...it was a LONG night). Friday we put together bags to go to the hotels for our out of town guests, went to the country club and tied MORE bows, this time on chairs. Thanks again to all the family and friends who helped with that, couldn't have done it with out y'all. I do remember uncle Johnny telling me that I was not allowed to ask him to tie anymore bows...haha...such a sweet guy! After that Megan, Lara, and I went to get our nails done....then it was off to the bridal lunch at Sironia...and then the rehersal at Nelson's! Friday was one crazy day....but fun!

Saturday... the BIG day! We started off at La Bella Visage were everyone got their hair and make up done. Then everyone met at St. Paul's for photos...then it was off to St. Louis for the wedding!! I will be posting photos next!

Long time since last blog!!

So it has been way too long since my last blog and I have a lot of updates!! In one of my last post I wrote about looking for houses....well we decided not to buy because I decided to go to grad school full time. I am going to TCU and pursuing a masters in school counseling and possibly child life as well. I was offered at TA position at TCU which was very hard to pass up. This means I have to go to school full time and in turn I work 8 hours a week for a professor and TCU will then pay my tuition. I will be done with school in December of 2011 or Spring 2012, it depends on if I decide to do a double masters. Since we will now be living off of one salary it was not so smart for us to buy a house right now!
I took a summer session in June (2 classes) and that kept me EXTREMELY busy, it was very strange to be in school again and to be the student, not the teacher! I really enjoyed it and met some great people. I do not start back at school until August 23rd, so I am excited that I have a nice break!
I am goin to try and do some more updates later this week.....such as our wedding and honeymoon, my sisters wedding, and random things we have been doing in the DFW!!
