Either way, Chavo is going to go tear down stuff with big sledgehammers today. One of his coworkers needs a shed demolished, and of course all the guys were climbing over each other for the opportunity to tear something down with giant hammers. Who wouldn't want to do that??? In this hundred-degree weather, I think I'll pass. So here I am.
Anyways, Chavo and I got married two weeks ago, and it was totally fabulous. I don't have pictures from the photographer yet, but my aunt took a few hundred, so I guess it would be nice to see them.
The wedding was so awesome, I couldn't have asked for anything better. My bridesmaids were wonderful. The groomsmen were great. Both families came, and everyone blended so nicely. Chavo's sister and her husband came about a week before the wedding, so we got to spend some good time with them before the wedding, which was wonderful. The four of us had an awesome time. Then the rest of his family came, and it was great. Everyone was laughing and having a good time, and none of us got enough sleep, but oh well.
The wedding itself was just incredible, in that I had no idea what was going on. I do know for a fact that I was super nervous before and during the ceremony, I know that Chavo had a hard time reciting vows in old english (With this ring, I see red, and all my twirly goods...), the videographer made the limo driver take the long way to the reception so they could get the cameras set up (which made for a lot of funny speculation going around with people wondering what was taking us so long... Hmmm), and the DJ played Pitbull's song "International Love" which made me both laugh hysterically and turn a lovely shade of scarlet.
When it was time to go, (and the keys to my car were retrieved from my parents' house), Chavo and I ran through the sea of birdseed to our lovely decorated car. I'm pretty sure I hocked a birdseed-filled loogie right in front of Chavo's cousin Zumby.. Oops. How much I loved that everyone decorated our car in hearts and sweet things, instead of (let's just say it) penises and sex jokes (hey, you know you thought about it). We drove away from the reception and made our way to the Baer House Inn in Vicksburg, which was amazing beyond words. The owner, Doug, greeted us when we got there, and everything was so nice. It was a good stop on our way to Navarre Beach, where we spent our week-long honeymoon.
Navarre was also really awesome. We highly recommend it to anyone. Not as crowded as Destin, but still a lot to do. Chavo and I went jetskiing, we actually bungee-jumped (never again), and loved every minute of our honeymoon. We're already wanting to go back.
We went back to West Monroe and saw my brother off to boot camp. He left for Georgia on Monday, and he seems to be doing as great as one can expect of his first days of Basic Training.
And now, Chavo and I are firmly planted in our new home in Texas. I've been having fun setting up this new apartment, and I think it looks mighty fine. We love having people over, and I've been having a good time meeting new people. I'm playing in the church orchestra with the Chavo, and everyone has been really nice. It's been a good transition so far, but I know that we have a lot ahead of us.
I guess right now, I just really need good thoughts and prayers sent our way in helping us get set up. We're still waiting to hear back from a job that we are really hoping I get, but it is not set in stone yet. We have a lot of ideas, but we're still looking at our options. Chavo is working full time in the auto-shop at the Seminary, and while he's there, I'm at home, doing the things that I guess I need to be doing. His birthday is Monday, so we have some things planned for that. Right now, we could hardly ask for anything better. Being alone in this apartment while Chavo is away at work is giving me lots of ideas for blog posts, so stay tuned!
I'll be back around more often, considering that I have a lot more free time than I did when I was planning the wedding, so I guess I'll be seeing you!
