The Flurry that was February

Ok, I know that I am way, way, way behind on blogging so I am going to catch up by putting February into one month, minus the Super Bowl I guess, since that was on the first of the month. February went be in a flash. I started looking for an apartment for Ando and I in NYC and I didn't realize quite how hard it was going to be. Brokers do nothing for you here, but you still have to pay them. I spent many a night looking at apartment after apartment to find just the right place. About 23 or so apartments later, I lost track, I finally found the right one.

When I wasn't out looking for apartments I was probably out and about. Mateo and I go watch Xavier games together after work; which is when I had the worst wings ever! They were gross and not even worth the $.35 they were since it was wing night. I have never had such an awful wing in my life. I also met up the P portion of A'nP. He was in town for the night for work and I convinced some people to come out with me to drink some beers and hang out.

And finally when I wasn't doing all of those things I was in Cincinnati. I went back to Cincinnati two weekends in a row to prepare for the wedding. It is almost finished and I think most of the church related "chores" are out of the way. The first weekend back I had to showers, a lot in one weekend I found out, took my dress in to be altered, got a test hair-do for the wedding and met with our priest. The second weekend, when I commuted to New York, was pretty much all church related.

Ando and I went to Pre Cana all day on Saturday. I couldn't believe how many couples go to Pre Cana, 120 at our all day event with the youngest couple being 17. We got to sit through some amazing classes, sexuality and intimacy and natural family planning just to name a few. And then on Sunday Ando and I went to church before meeting with our priest. Church was a "different" experience. Everyone gets up and does the sign of peace to everyone else in the whole church. You don't just limit yourself to who you are sitting around. And then after the Our Father Ando and I got some hand sanitizer from a parishioner. I was so funny to me that I was using hand sanitizer in the middle of church.

As you can tell I was a very eventful February to say the least. I hope you enjoy all of the pictures; sorry there aren't any from church.

The worst wings I have ever eaten, ever!

Does anyone see any sauce on those wings? Yeah, me either.

Bridal shower number one with Ando's family.

I do love my champagne.

And Doritos; ED got me 4 bags off the registry.

Luckily the unicorns were not a gift, but I need to get my picture taken with them.

The making of the ribbon bouquet.

More party time fun.

Shower number two with my side of the family. This is me talking to my soon to be mother-in-law.

Who doesn't love a good blender.

I was trying my hardest not to break this ribbon, but I couldn't do it. It was the only ribbon I broke all weekend.

Me and my sis.

More Doritos!

Man people really took those Doritos seriously, good thing they were all different flavors.

The beautiful cupcake/favor centerpiece my sis made.

Giving Murph some treats; I miss him.

I broke a ribbon which means I am supposed to have one child; one isn't on the way any time soon.
