My husband *shakes head*

My husband, Mr. G is a great man he is loved by many people and he is the love of my life. Having said that, there are not very many things that make Mr. G show a lot of emotion and in general he is pretty even and mellow, unlike me who is this bundle of energy! This last week I had to question his sanity?! This man has bought 2 TV in one week. Did you hear me people?! 2!!!! Do I need to remind you that we are living at his parents’ house!!! What the heck are we going to do with 2 TVs?! Well ... let me tell you!

So TV number one is HUGE! Mr. G took me to Best Buy 2 separate times to show me "the TV" he wanted to buy... I giggled when he showed me all the specs and features that the TV had, trying to get me to understand how cool this really was. I thought it was cute but he seriously showed more enthusiasm for this TV than he did for our wedding!! Seriously? A Wedding or a TV? Wedding...TV? Is there really a comparison?! Clearly to him there is. So, this monstrosity of a TV is propped up in the back of his parents living on a table with chairs maybe 4 feet away. You would think this is way too close to sit and watch right? WRONG! Mr. G plugs in his PS3 plays video games and watches movies. Don't get me wrong I am extremely impressed with this TV, the clarity on this thing is incredible. Funny story, the other day I am watching TV in his room when he calls me. "Jen come here you have to see this!" I run into the other room thinking it something serious and I needed to get there quick! He called me into the room to show me that he found out that if he sits on the couch backwards he can watch new TV without sitting right in front of it. He was so excited he felt the need to call me over to show me. Clearly this man has lost is mind! It was by far one of the funniest he has ever done! He was so excited I couldn't help but be excited for him. Here is a photo of Mr. G and friend watching the new TV.

Now, TV number 2 is a good solid TV. This is my kind of TV, it is not too big and not too small with HD capabilities!! The only problem with this is that TV number one is so amazing that TV number 2 looks like crap! Great, so now I have been offically spoiled I have a hard time enjoying TV number 2. Gosh. Mr.G is going to make me electronically might maintenance. Now he is on a mission to buy blue rays.

*Shaking my head*

The million dollar question!

Mr. G & and I have been asked this questions a thousand times since we have gotten married!! What is this question you ask? It is not what you think it is. It is simply...

"Does Mr. G know where he is going to be working yet?!"

Finally I have an answer...

Next week around this time we will ultimately find out where we are going to be living! I am so very excited and so nervous at the same time! Aside from getting married this will the biggest milestone in our life together!

We have had so many discussions about the possibility of living on the east coast, moving to northern California and possibly staying in the area we are already in. Most importantly we both agreed we are OK with a move of this caliber. We also agree that it will suck missing out on my brother playing basketball, watching my cousin’s belly grow, simply not seeing our friends and family regularly. It saddens us. Which also makes me think of the things our families might possibly miss while we are gone, watching us grow and mature as one, watching our children grow up everyday (not anytime soon people!) and getting to know all our doggies we plan on getting! Despite the negative parts, it is Mr. G's passion which drives us to take these steps in life and it is worth the sacrifice to support him in his passion. I know that no matter where we end up I will be so happy because I will be with Mr. G. I love Mr. G so much.

I won’t lie, it has been quite a process this thing they call patience. I am not a fan to be honest. Just to make it clear I have no patience AT ALL and I capitalize "at all" to emphasize the seriousness in it! None, nada, zilch! Poor Mr. G has to remind me not to get excited quite possibly 3 times a day over something silly. It's just that deep down I am still a 7 year old little girl, and anything fun is like Christmas too me. I know I am lame, but I just can't help it.

Regardless of where we end up, I am so over the moon with the prospect of finally building a home. A place for just us, sleeping in our new King size bed (this queen it not cutting it!!), using all the awesome wedding gifts that are still in boxes. I am also super motivated to change my label as a "non-cooker" and host dinners and serve yummy food!!! See I am getting all excited and a head of myself again. OK Mrs. G, one step at a time, lets find out where we are living.

If you have read this far your a stud and I promise for a more entertaining post tomorrow!

It is offical, two have become one.

Top 10 WOW factors of my wedding day.

Today is our 1 month anniversary! Yay we made it! I know for the veteran married couples out there this is nothing, but to me it is a really big deal! So in celebration of our big 1 month anniversary, I want to recap the top 10 WOW factors of my special day...

10. The New Years Eve countdown. This was the moment we started the year off as husband and wife. How perfect is that?

9. The slide show. A very good friend of Mr. G's family was so very kind and amazing to gift us with a spectacular slide show. No, this is NOT just your everyday hum drum slide show,this thing is AH-MA-ZING ! It had so much detailing in it. From us being interviewed on how we met, the reason why we love each other, video footage of our glory days as college athletes, and my personal favorite the video of the actual proposal! All this intertwined with a awesome music selection cued perfectly with our baby and engagement photos. It is something I will watch for ever and ever and I love it so much!

8. The toasts. Where to start? Mr. G has a older brother (Bryan) with Downs Syndrome who was also Mr. G's best man. Boy did he take his "best man" duties seriously. One of the things that Bryan wanted to do was give a toast to fully fulfill his duties. It was the most heartwarming WOW on this list. Mr. G's cousin Ronnie helped Bryan deliver his speech without a hitch. Then Ronnie gave a very up lifting toast flawlessly. My sister (Maid of honor) on the other hand decided she wanted to take the, "let's make the bride cry like a little baby in front of everyone approach". It worked! I cried like a baby, she is hands down the best sister in the world! Next, Stacy my matron of honor gave a speech that also was so amazing, reminding me of all the things we have been through, how long we have known each other and how much we have to look forward to! When the speeches were delivered it was all a confirmation that I love my life and all the people in it! (Below: Bryan giving his speech)

7. The first dance. This was the sweetest of my WOW's. We danced to "Come what may" from Moulin Rouge, it is one of our all time favorite songs.

6. Standing at the alter. I mean come on, I am staring into my soon to be husband's eyes. My heart was filled with so much joy and love that my cheeks were hurting so bad from smiling and I thought for sure my heart would bust out of my chest!

5. Signing the contract. When a contract is signed that means the deal is legit. I never thought signing a paper would actually make me sentimental but it did.

4. Being announced as Mr. & Mrs. G. After months and months of planning, crying, arguing and praying it's done and we are official! It felt amazing!

3. Walking down the aisle. My father is not at all a sentimental or affectionate guy. It is simply just not his thing and my father put no effort into trying hide his lack of enthusiasm for walking me down the aisle, but when the moment came for him to do his duty ... everything changed. Right before we walked down the aisle he turned to me and said, "Are you ready to go baby girl? I am so proud of you." I look at him and started to tear up. It took everything in my power not to start bawling right then. It was a special moment between us that I will remember forever.

2. "You may now kiss the bride!" The kiss. This was my most wow WOW. Need I say more? It is the first of many, many, many kisses we will share as husband and wife. Such a special moment for everyone to see. Now when I am feeling reflective I run up to Mr. G and tell him, "Give me a wedding day kiss! " It is my favorite!

1. Hands down, "The first look". Mr. G and I had opted to see each other before the wedding. It was by far the best idea ever! We chose to do this with the photographers only and for about 15 minutes it was only us. This was such a sweet and beautiful moment. When I think of our day this is the first vision that comes to my mind. I think any bride is crazy not to do this!

There you have it! My top 10 WOW's of my wedding day!
