Weddings and...motherhood?

Tomorrow I'm thrilled to say that I get see Nga, one of my work BFFs, get married. She has to get up at 530 in the morning to start getting ready. Since we are coming from Tracy and the ceremony is at 1030 in Los Gatos, I joke with her that I will be getting up just as early as she is. This will be wedding #1 of 3 in the next 3 months.

So in honor the bride, here's one of my favorite pictures from her work bridal shower that we had for her last month.

Melissa, Tricia, Nga. So gangsta. Love them.

Motherhood. Not quite ready for that just yet. And I just got reminded of that. The other day my mom and I met up with my brothers, Vic and Tino, and the twins, Isabel and Ismael, to shop for their wedding outfits. Monica (their momma) couldn't come because she was working. We decide to eat lunch first because the kids just got out of myGym and were starving. Yeah, trying to feed 2 three-year olds is NOT fun...especially when YOU'RE starving and daddy is on the other side of the table eating his lunch because the kids want to sit next to you. Plus they are jumping all over the place.

After lunch we head all over the mall to at least 4-5 stores. The kids are tired at this point and don't want to walk anymore. And they're getting big. Enter Auntie Tricia holding Isa because honestly, Izzy is just toooo big for me to carry up and down the mall. And Uncle Tino's back hurts. And I'm not letting mom carry them, either. And it's hot. And I didn't eat all my lunch. So I'm hungry, hot, and cranky. Since my brothers came, I was the one that had to take each kid into the dressing rooms. Clothes off and on...clothes they don't like. And then the meltdowns begin. Isa doesn't like this dress...she wants this one because "that dress doesn't look like a wedding dress." And Izzy doesn't want to wear a dress shirt. He wants to wear a Spiderman shirt. I tell him he can wear it under his dress shirt like Superman does and he can take it off after we take pictures. He screams "no". And "no" again. And "no" a few more times...each time louder and louder. And daddy doesn't spank the kids, although he needs to. After 3 hours of this, we finally find their outfits. THANK GOODNESS.

Then I come home to two dogs following me everywhere. I can't even walk without tripping over them. So I'm tired, still hungry, still hot, more cranky, and now frustrated.

I'm going to be that mom that shakes her kids...I tell my mom. She just laughs.

No, I really won't. But I easily get frustrated and impatient. I think I should start working on this now since Kee and I decided that we will start trying for a little one at the end of 2011. Happy, Car? haha I can still be preggo in the summer...just really big at that time.

But my point...soooo not ready to be a mom at this time. I can barely handle my dogs. The end.

New beginnings...

Yes, a new blog! Why? Well first of all, I have a gmail account and got extremely annoyed with having to sign out of my email in order to access my blog. I couldn't change my email with my other blog, so, well...here we are. Thank you for following along.

And really because there are so many new things coming up in my life that I just wanted to start over. And Mrs Inglis inspired me. I hope that's all right with you. If you haven't already, update your links.

With this blog, I want to try and post more meaningful things, not just random crap. I mean, random crap will still make an appearance, but I want to post more pictures and actually have things that are read-worthy. We will see how long this lasts.

For starters, here are some of my most favorite pictures from mine and Keenan's engagement session with Brittany DeWester. I found out about her through by co-worker, Andi. Brittany is an amazing photographer and so fun. I'm really glad we chose her to photograph our wedding day. We felt so at ease with her during the engagement session...I cannot wait to see how the wedding day photos will turn out. Enjoy!
