I don’t want to post pictures from the wedding that Tess has not had a chance to share, so I’m waiting patiently for that to happen. The photos from the photographer are not in yet

They had a party bus for the wedding party between the ceremony and the wedding. They were the hit of the night and the only people that knew they would be there were Manuel, his parents, his sister and me. There is a dramatic staircase that comes down into the room we were in and the band showed up in the middle of the reception and walked down the staircase single file while playing. There are several signs that Tess and Manuel made for the reception, but this is the only one I snapped a picture of before deciding to put my phone down for the night.

I’ve been spending so much time recently reflecting over the last 27 years of my life, and of my daughters life. Mike and I will celebrate our 20th Anniversary in May and when I think about all of the life that has happened over the last 20 years for he and I and our four kids, I can’t imagine what the next 20 years has in store for us and our family. But when I think about the last 20 years, then the next 20 years, I know it means our little growing family will only grow more, and it just makes me feel all warm inside. I decided that the Navy Blue shoes I had bought just weren’t right with the Navy Blue dress, so I returned them, shopped a little more and found these and am so happy I spent a little more time looking!

I went to Dallas last weekend and that was my last trip there until wedding week. We actually had date night last night. Instead, we headed out after 8:00 (I sound so old and lame here, I’m aware) and had a great night out, doing something we both love to do! It was a great reminder for both of us how much we love nights like this and how we need to make date night “out” a priority again.
