Exhausted and Excited

I am so exhausted, yet so excited!!!

We’ve decided we’re going to elope - 100%! I can not wait!! We now have less than a year (say, 6-10 months) until we marry each other. I now get to do some ‘planning’ (though, there really isn’t much planning for this eloping) and shopping. I can’t wait to start looking for a nice dress (not a wedding dress, but something nice) and our wedding bands! I’m waiting until I hear back from the company that we’re using before I get too excited, but nonetheless I am so freaking excited. Really, I am.

All last night, while at Buffalo Wild Wings, I just wanted to tell everyone that we’ve decided to elope but I couldn’t. Greg doesn’t want to tell anyone (I’ve already told my Mom and Lisa), otherwise we’re not really eloping in terms of the sense. I don’t care, I just want to shout it out and let everyone know!

Anyway… Greg’s 30th Birthday Gathering…

Awesome! We all had so much fun last night at Buffalo Wild Wings. The food was out of this world. The birthday cake was fan-fucking-tastic(that is going to be a popular phrase for me)! And, we still have a lot of cake left; it was so worth the $78!

Here are pictures from last night:

After we all ate, it was time for the traditional “Birthday Guest of Honor” shot:

Greg chugged the Yager Bomb - I was impressed!

Then, it was time for cake!!!!

So much cake!

There was still a whole hella of a lot of cake after giving out HUGE slices!! We also gave away HUGE slices when everyone left and there’s still MORE CAKE in the fridge! The cake was amazing; so moist and flavorful. I believe we’re going to have Sugar Bakers do our wedding cake (for our reception sometime after we elope); I’m not a big cake person, but this was “da bomb”!!

The waitress offered to take our picture, after we all sung ‘Happy Birthday’ to Greg AND had his name announced over the intercom. We’re classy like that.

The Gang

We were home by 10. Lisa had no problems with Amelia, other than Amelia not wanting to go to bed. Once we were settled in, a small storm rolled through, so I laid in bed watching the lightening and eventually fell asleep.

Amelia was up at 6:30am and was not going back to sleep. We were up and out of bed by 7am. It’s been a long day. All I wanted to do was sleep in. Amelia is napping as I type, and I should be too, but I wanted to get the pictures up and such. Also, I am doing some research about our eloping trip (Squee - so excited).

Today has been productive, so far. We were out of the house by 9:30 and had a nice big brunch - I am so happy Amelia has her appitete back; I think she’s already gained about 2 pounds since her check-up! After brunch we headed to the grocery store and stocked up on fruits and veggies and other small items for dinner and lunch for the next week. We were only $2.03 over our target amount, and that includes a $1 donation to the Children’s Cancer Fund.

Be on the look out for an email from me, Dear Regular Readers, I am going to update you on the password protected posts…

Until then…
