Wedding Registry

Well, It is about FINALLY time I got back in here to address our Wedding registry. Everyone has asked where Kimmer and I were registered - the answer is....Target and Bed,Bath, And Beyond.

I wanted to register at Chevrolet for a Brand new Camaro. After that, Kimmer slapped me upside the back of my head, so here we are. Target and BB&B.

Nevertheless - I had a blast sorting through everything while at Bed Bath and Beyond. and Target. Kimmer threatened to take the Scanner away from me on more than one occasion as I was a scanning fool. I had a blast!!!! We will definitely appreciate anything you might be able to help us out with - I just had fun scanning whatever.

Anyway - we look forward to having you at our wedding and reception. I personally Can Not Wait to be able to tell everyone that my baby Kimmer is my Wife!!!

Family weekend

Well, Kimmer is gone to bed and I am sitting here reflecting on the past weekend in my NEW living room. We just got done with a crazy weekend!!! It started Thursday night. My dad and I went to the Titans game and then went out for a few drinks downtown after. Fri was filled with work and buying more stuff from Lowe's and Home Depot!!! We got a lot accomplished. Fri night was filled with a lot of work and it was capped off with me prepping my shoulders for a big long slow smoking on my BBQ pit.

Sat was filled with more going to the store to buy more food, and things for the house but we frantically got things in order for the most part. It was a little strenuous as Sun was the day when both of our families were meeting for the first time. So we were going for it all day long and as the night started closing in, I was just getting to work. I had dedicated myself to staying up all night and smoking these three Pork Shoulders. While others were going to bed, I was just getting going. Dad and I were putting together furniture and getting things situated upstairs until 2 when I FINALLY got him to bed. the next 5 hours were miserable. I was good for a little bit, but then started fading quickly. I DID manage to stay up until the sun was starting to rise in order to check my food one more time. They were looking and smelling delicious!!! About 745, I had to rest, I threw another chunk of Hickory on the pit and came in to lay down for "2 hours".... After setting my alarm, I was awakened by Kimmer mentioning something about my Smoker and I mumbled something. I then snapped awake to realize it was 11:15!!! An hour and a half later than I had planned. I tore out of bed and got to my pit and checked. It was looking AMAZING! I had to pull it all off and get it in the oven for an hour to finish it.

After that, it was yard work time as Kimmer and Dad finished the minor touch ups inside. I have to say that Kimmer aranged stuff Very good inside. It really looks good! Anyway - back to Sun. It was rush rush rush up until people arriving. I was still doing yardwork when the rest of my fam arrived and were getting in the shower when Kimmer's fam arrived. Anyway, we got stuff going and everyone hit it off greatly! It was nice to see everyone click so nicely. We honestly couldn't have asked for anything better. the Food turned out amazing. The deserts everyone brought were almost as good! Anyway, we took a great family picture with everyone from both sides SECONDS before the bottom dropped out on a storm that was rolling in. It is included below. I tell you - I wouldn't have done anything different this weekend. Getting to see everyone together was awesome. Now there won't be any awkward getting to know each other conversations at the wedding. They will be able to pick it right up where we left off.

Today was great as well, we hung with my fam for a while until they headed out then we decided it was time to Finally go register for our wedding. All I can say right now is it was a awesome time, however greatly draining. More to follow on that later....
