Royal wedding extension

I will not feel bad for enjoying the royal wedding. People are upset that this had been all over the news instead of tragedies going on in our country, especially military related. Well as a military wife I am admitting that I thoroughly enjoyed watching that wedding not because of the glitz and glamour or even because it was on the news. I had no plans to watch it but I was up anyways and I'm so thankful I was.

It was a fairy tale and pure romance at it's finest. It is a reminder of the difference in culture of other countries. Also it was a good example of how crazy and dangerous our country can be. They had thousands of people flooding the streets, knowing the police weren't armed, they were curteous and didn't start a riot and none was assassinated. Can you honestly see that happening in America?

History is beautiful. Being able to witness tradition at its finest was a blessing. Stop trying to diminish it because it wasn't american.

The Royal Wedding

Did anyone else watch it? I didn't have plans to watch it but I am so thankful that Abigail woke me up just in time to watch Kate arrive at the Westminster Abbey.

It was one of the most romantic and beautiful things I have ever seen. The music was incredible. Those little boys can hit some crazy high notes. I LOOOOVED all of the fantastically large hats worn by the women at the wedding.  Almost all of them were beautiful, except the beige one right behind the queen worn by Beatrice. She looked like she had gigantic antlers on her head. It was ridiculous.

Kate's dress was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! I wish I had a picture for you but google is currently not showing any. Google it later. It was simple and romantic. I couldn't have pictured her in anything more beautiful. Oh and her tiara? Yea that beautiful piece of jewelry was given to the Queen on her 18th birthday. She gave it to Kate as a gift. How ROMANTIC???!!!?!? I know I've used that word a lot but that is for good reason.

Pippa Middleton, Kate's Sister's dress was white as well...and also absolutely beautiful. I can't get over the simple elegance of the wedding. It was amazing. I'm so in love with this whole wedding.

If you asked my husband he would huff and puff and be a huge downer about this whole event. I don't know if men just really are pathetically masculine or if it's just my husband but you would think it would kill him to just keep his mouth shut and let everyone else enjoy this. He thinks everyone is enjoying this because of the money and extravagance of it all. I swear he is incapable of being excited about anything I'm excited about. Sometimes I wish I married a female. Then I'd be able to sit around and gush over things like this without feeling inferior.

On a different note, did anyone catch that fashion magazine editor's name? Plum Sykes. Probably not related but cool none the less.

If you didn't get to watch this try and find it online. It was such an amazing moment in history. It makes me want to move to Britain. The US is overrated. I want the beauty of history not the glam that we produce.


Anyways, I hope everyone has enjoyed or is still enjoying this incredible site.

EDIT: Apparently William first saw Kate's father and whispered " I thought we were just doing a small family affair?" For anyone who thinks these Royal's are all stuffy, seriously, think twice. Even the Queen seemed relaxed and just purely happy.

Something that baffles me, which shouldn't, is that all of these people can be flooding the streets without police with weapons pushing them back and having it become some gross happening. It's sad that as an American I associate high security and weapons to a public event. Another reason to move to Britain.

Zumba

Ok. I know this is my 3rd post of the day but I can't help it. I can only talk to a baby for so long before I go crazy.

So I've recently started doing Zumba. Have you heard of it? If not then youtube it or go to Zumba.com
It's a workout where you dance. It's AMAZING. When everyone first started talking about it I was intrigued and then my mom started taking the class and said how much she loved it so I got even more curious. I joined a class and I am in love.

I have to hold myself back from buying all of the dvds and cds and anything possible. I've always had trouble going to the gym and working out because let's face it, it's boring. But with Zumba not only is it incredibly fun, but it's like having a personal trainer. You just follow your instructor so you always know what to do.

Seriously, it's SOOO MUCH FUN!!! I might have to get the dvds so I can do it everyday since my classes are only 2 days a week. I'll have to talk to the hubby.

But seriously, if you are wanting to lose the extra lbs but find working out boring, get your but in a zumba class.

Have I told you?

Have I told you just how much I love country music? Well here is a damn good example why.

Startled Baby

Have you ever startled a sleeping baby? It's probably the single most hilarious thing that could happen. I might need to record it and send it to funniest home videos or something.

Abigial can be sound asleep but certain noises startle her. Not noises you would think either. The dog barking, door slamming, vacuum going, thunder, or talking wont do the trick. So far I have discovered that sneezing and dishes clanking together will make her jump right out of her skin from a dead sleep.

Since I haven't gotten a video or picture of this yet imagine this: Sleeping baby (insert sneeze) baby arms fly towards the ceiling, eyes open and look as if the fan just stopped moving (or w/e is the worst possible situation to a baby), arms swing around for a second, then right back to sleep.

Seriously, if you haven't experienced this yet you need to find a baby and startle them in whatever manner works. Preparations such as bringing an extra pair of undies and pants might be necessary. Just saying.

Baby update

So Abigail Yvonne had her 2 month check up today. She got all of her shots. She cried, I teared up, and then she fell asleep. She weighs in at 11 lbs and is 23" long. She's doing great. Unfortunately she has a fever now due to the shots and I'm a very sad mama bear :-(

That's all for tonight. Fingers crossed that Baby girl sleeps all night. She seems like this fever just makes her tired so we will see.

Weight Loss

So it's almost been 2 months since our little girl was born. Here is the gorgeous little girl.

And here is yours truly as of today. Down 35 lbs. P.S. I only gained 30 during pregnancy ;-) 

Still working on the abs. I have that normal mom belly bulge that just needs to go. Other than that I'm actually really excited about how I look. Minus the boobies, but you already knew that.
