For the first time on a blog....Mr & Mrs Justin Amaral

So it's nearly 7 months since our engagement...and here we are Mr & Mrs.
I didn't think that we would be "typical" newly weds since we've been living together for so long, but I do have to say we really are enjoying married life (ask me again in 20 years ha!ha!) Now we move on from the wedding plans to the house plans. We have just started looking for a home, the apartment just can't hold all the wedding presents (thank you all for being so generous).
Anyway here is a picture of us at the wedding, I'm hoping that the family will start emailing any digital pics they took (hint...hint..)

Wow! We did it! Shotgun wedding minus the baby :)

Wild on Lizzie

Saturday night was my bachelorette party and it was a blast!!
There were some embarrasing moments that I might have changed, but all in all it was a great time. Thank you to the bridesmaids, my family and my friends who could all be there to celebrate. Here's a PG rated photo from my night out. I look a little scared in this picture, I wonder what the girls were doing to me at the time.

Shotgun Wedding?!?!?

No No ladies & gentlemen this is not a shotgun wedding...more like 2 crazy people booking it all in 3 months (sound familiar Joe & Vicki or Buddy & Julie?) Anyway, things have gone well so far. The shower was today & it was a blast..thank you girls for no games.

It has been a difficult week & it was hard not having Aunt Pat there, but we all know she was there in spirit. As I am receiving all the response cards I can't help but look at each one and think about her putting the stamps on. I can remember the day when I told her that Justin was Portugese and her only response was "I'm sure he's a lovely man". I really don't know how Justin did it but he proved to her at he was just as good as an Irishman. I know it helped when he called her every year on St. Patrick's Day!!

Now here we are 35 days out and only minor details to go. I'm very relaxed and not overwhelmed....please remind me of this feeling in 2 weeks, although I'm sure the champagne and glass of wine helped :).

Happy Birthday William!!!
