Looking forward to some White Sands and Crystal Clear Waters...
This is one of the two dresses she wore. She looked amazing!

Lauren & I outside the chapel (The Gardens).
Headed to the reception in style! Wish my iPhone took better pictures. Of course when you are on a bumpy road and you are a shaky gal that can't help out the quality!

There is nothing more fun than walking out of your bedroom and feeling a wet spot on your carpet. Initially it was thought that perhaps Roxy, our puppy had an accident. I go into the kitchen and come to discover that we had a problem. My feet are under water up to my ankles and I can not figure out what the heck is going on OR where this water is coming from?!?
Next thing I knew..I had all this equipment in front of my house and total chaos was upon me.
I had literally talked to the kids the night before about buying Lauren a new bedroom set. Her current bed etc has been handed down from her brother and it is almost 11 years old. This bed has also been through at least 6 'moves' and another family who I had given it to and it was given back to me...don't ask. My thinking when I saw the flood waters in her room was..WOW, be careful what you wish for. I did have plans to shop for a new bed for her in the next couple weeks. I guess there is more of an urgency to get her something this weekend.
Yep, the kitchen had water damage too. I have never seen so many fans nor have I been in such a loud environment.
Needless to say, we certainly could not have made dinner at home. With 10 Fans Howling, a Dehumidifier Humming and giant trash cans collecting water, so my sweet Romance took us out for dinner and dessert!
