Ice Storm 2011

I'm not sure you could quite call it Winter Storm, as once again the hype was more than the actual storm, 

But it was exciting regardless.

We headed to Mem and Granddaddy's to weather the weather, just in case we lost power.

Which ended up being more fun than just the three of us holed up in our house.

They had a great hill for sledding, and all the neighbors were out enjoying the fun.

Raughley thoroughly enjoyed the rides!

We even got Mem to sled once or twice!

Uncle Carl and Raughley

And I went for a spin as well, although I wasn't feeling great.

And the next morning woke up at 5 am with a migraine and couldn't move my neck!  It was the weirdest most painful sensation, but after a hairy trip to St. Vincent's and three shots later, started to get some relief.

Granddaddy and R enjoying the slopes

What a pair!  And don't you just love a baby in a snow suit!

A cute family pic.

January's off to a happy start!  Stay warm everybody!

A few more Wedding Pics

Wedding Day

I am going to go ahead and post the pics that I have from the wedding day, and most of these are garnered off facebook from friends of mine, so if you notice your pictures up here, thank you!

Also, they are in no particular order either, so I'll narrate a bit if you don't mind. 

Once the wedding started, Chase and I were lucky to find our friends over in a corner by the band, and there were so many people I don't think we could have found them in the crowd.  

I loved having my friends there because they really are like family to me, so it made sense to have them there for William's special day. 

The next couple to get married!  Can't wait for their wedding day in May!

This is back at the church, right after the ceremony, we were all gathered, waiting on the guests to leave se we could take pictures.  

It was really fun to be smooshed together right here and hash out the ceremony together.  

Here we are getting ready to take pics and head to the reception.  

William with his gals

The trolley that took us to the Club.  The driver didn't seem to know his way around town and dad had to tell him where to go.  I think we were almost thrown out of the bus about ten times en route to the reception.  But there was champagne and Kid Rock to go around, so we didn't mind.  

Beautiful Bride dancing with her Pops.  Notice the little man in the background dancing with me and his daddy?

The groom performing to Soul Man.  He's not comfortable on stage at all is he?

Sing it Frances Ellen!

Glistening Bride and her maids.  We don't look sweaty at all!

Doing a little primping.  

Jumping WAY ahead in the night to when the B and G left for their honeymoon.  Don't you love that she changed clothes?  So old school.  

Back to the reception.  Pippy, me and Virg.  

Back to pre wedding pics.  Little man seemed a bit overwhelmed by the pomp and ceremony and needed quite a hug.  

Playing with his Gigi.  

Family Pic. I was hoping for a C'mas Card out of this one, but since Raughley looks like he wants to kill someone, I think Ill have to rethink.  

Mom and her siblings.  

Flowers in the church.  They were so beautiful!

Centerpiece in the East Room.

Grandmama and her Supper Club.  They've been friends for forever!

Entry way to the East Room

Me, Aunt Bee and Mom

Patrick Dancing with Elizabeth.

KD Pic!

Hope, me and Jenny.

The amazing band at the wedding.  I think they were called "SoulSations"

And below, William's buds and Dad.  I think this one is from the RD, but it was too cute not to include.  

All in all it was an amazing night, and we wish the Bride and Groom a wonderful life together!  See you two soon when you're back from the honeymoon!
