Well, Tyler and I *finally* took the plunge. We were married on Sept. 22nd. It was a beautiful day, everything went smoothly, and I'm now a Mrs. The day flew by WAY too fast. Today was my last day back to work and I think I prefer hanging around the house not doing anything lol. Anyways, here is a link to some pictures my mom (or someone with her camera) took the day of the wedding. I'll post more when I get them from the photographer.

Congrats on getting married :great:
Congratulations, Geri! You guys look so sweet together!
Congratulations! I don't know you yet but take it from me, marriage is a wonderful thing!
Well it's been two full weeks since the wedding, and we haven't killed each other yet LOL. It's actually been pretty easy to adjust so far. And he has been doing dishes and stuff, without me asking :-D. Not sure how long that is going to last, but I'll enjoy it while it does lol.
I was kind of worried at first that he wouldn't like it here (he moved from around Cincy, Ohio to Cleveland for me), but he seems to like it as much as I do! He is even involved in the church already. He has been running sound during services and the pastor and choir director have asked him to work with them on tuning their system (there's a technically word but I dunno it lol). I'm really happy about that because he LOVES being involved in the sound department. I am also involved, actually a lot sooner than I thought as well. I was going to kind of lay low and take my time getting involved, but they had one soprano in the choir, so I was kind of immediately enlisted LOL. And let me tell ya, the music director and choir are AWESOME!!! There is none of the yelling and bickering that I saw at my old church. I love it. Also, the music director doesn't yell and scream at Tyler if he doesn't get everything mixed perfectly in the first 5 seconds of a song. Which really helps his job lol.
I think that this move, this church, and this marriage are the best things that have ever happened to me. I hope to him as well, but I can't speak for him lol. Anyways, if you're gonna be in the Mayfield Heights area anytime and need someone to show you around, let us know. (I just moved here in June, so I don't know where much is yet, but I know some stuff lol)
Geri
glad it's going well.......
I wanna see the pics :-)
sharon
Glad things are working good for you two. My wife was born in Salem Ohio if you know where that is. Do you guys know what used to be Brother Clines church in Warren? He passed away not too long ago.
I couldn't see the pics either coz I don't have a Myspace. You should put some of them on Photobucket or something so we can see too!!
yes, that would be awesome!!!!!
sharon
Sorry guys. I made my profile public so I thought everyone could see them. I didn't know you had to have a myspace account to see them. I will work on putting the pictures on a different site over the weekend.
Geri
It's ok!! I love your avatar!!

Really? Small world.
Gorgeous pics!!! Love them!!
Congrats.. Beautiful dress. :)
Well, Tyler's b-day was Yesterday and I completely dropped the ball. I forgot my husband's birthday!!! :sadbounce:
He thought it was hilarious, but I felt horrid. I'm gonna try to make it up to him this weekend by letting him do whatever he wants. I just hope he doesn't want to do anything to expensive lol.
We are getting ready for Thanksgiving, and Tyler is getting ready to be over run by in-laws lol. There are only three coming, but it's gonna be a "fun" day.
I should be getting the CD of pictures from the photo booth we had at the reception. I can't wait to see 'em all. I'll try to put them on-line so that y'all can see them. Some of them are hilarious. There are funny hats, boas and immature adults involved lol. Good times.....good times.
Geri
Congrats on the baby as well :)
Wow Geri - that was fast!! Congrats!!!
As far as married life, we are still doing well. We were even able to put up with the in-laws fairly well over the Christmas season lol. We are getting very excited about becoming parents, and so far everything is going very well. We had a bit of a scare a couple weeks ago though. I came home from work to find Tyler curled up on the bathroom floor with abdominal pain. After a weekend at the hospital he was getting back to normal, minus his appendix. Although it was a stressful (and painful for him) experience, it did give us the opportunity to see the hospital where our child will be born. The way Tyler was treated put me at ease about the hospital as well. Everyone was very nice and treated us really well.
Anywho, we are going back in about two weeks to have an ultrasound and hopefully find out if we are having a girl or boy. We already picked out names, so we're good to go on that front lol. Girl: September Grace Boy: Liam Lohrenz
We are going today to look at a town home so we can have a little more space once the little one arrives. Hopefully we will find something we like soon. We don't have a whole lotta time left lol.
I just looked at your wedding pictures and they are beautiful!
We just found out that we are having a :baby: (girl)!!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
September Grace is 11oz and her development is right on schedule. We are so excited!!!!!
Awwww.... congratulations!! :clap:
:beret:
aaaaaaw......congrats
whats ur due date?
June 15th. Father's day. I thought that was pretty cool lol
It also happens to be Tyler's sister's birthday, so she is hoping the baby is born on the 15th lol
Geri
Yeeay! Congratulations!
awesome///////
con grad about everything!! :clap2:
I like the name September...especially since she's commemorating your marriage month! :)
Well, we finally got to buy a few little things for the baby today. We are taking a "Baby Basics" class later this month and we had to buy a washcloth and towel, gown, receiving blanket and side-snap undershirt to use on the baby doll. I didn't really think anything about it until we got home and I opened the undershirts. O my goodness, they are so cute. They are tiny little shirts, and it reminds me how little she is going to be when she is born. *sigh* There is another couple at church that just had their baby last month and I got to hold her yesterday. My heart just melted and I can't wait to hold our baby. The cutest thing is that I let Tyler pick out the hooded towel, and he got one with a pink crown stitched on the hood that says "Princess". And he has started talking to her LOL.
I didn't know at first how we would handle becoming parents so soon after getting married, but I think that it is actually bringing us closer than we have ever been. I'm not saying that we don't disagree on some things (especially with me being pretty moody lately), but I know there is no where else I would rather be. God really does know what we can handle and the direction our life should take a whole lot better than we do. And when I look into our little girls eyes for the first time, I'm sure I'll wonder why we ever wanted to wait in the first place lol.
Geri
And then she'll start to grow up, and you'll come to realize why some animals eat their own young. :)
What's awsome is the little shirts look so cute, but they might even be too big for the baby. Then you realize just how tiny your little one really is.
I guess you need this smiley, I offered it in another thread. (http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/images/smilies/pregnant.gif)
Well, Tyler and I have passed the 6-month mark (7 actually). And amazingly we still love each other lol.
Tyler has an interview next month with the Pipefitters Union, so we're praying that everything works out with that. We have been living on my salary since September and it's been fine for the two of us, but probably wouldn't work for three lol. Poor Tyler has been trying so hard to find work out here, but it looks like everything is going to work out now :-D.
Well, the baby will be at full term in 5 weeks, so we are crossing our fingers that she will wait that long. I have a Dr appointment Wednesday and the Dr told me that based on her test results and my blood pressure, she may move up my due date (mostly because of my blood pressure).
We found a new apartment with a little more space, so I'm super excited about that! It's a three bedroom with a washer and dryer in the unit, and it's not around road construction! Hallelujah!!
My MIL is throwing us a baby shower this weekend. I'm excited to go home and see everyone again, but I'm not looking forward to the 4 hour car ride with a lil munchkin kicking me to death lol.
My mom and dad are exstatic about the baby. My mom honestly didn't think that we would have children soon enough for her to be sane/alive enough to play with them, although she is only 60.
Well, I guess that's all the update I have now. I will hopefully have new ultrasound pictures in a month, depending on wether the insurance will pay for it or not lol.
Geri
a LOT (not all) of dr's will kind of "fudge" a little on the reason for an Ultrasound, so that insurance will pay.........I guess maybe that's a secret......but I'll let the cat out of the bag..................
so maybe you will get pics..........LOL
sharon
I can't wait to see the pics!!!
I wanted to go ahead and post the first ultrasound pictures even though they are a few months old :biglaugh:
They show up a bit big, but I didn't want to take the time to crop them down lol.

Awwww... I miss being pregnant!
That was the easy part, it's learning how to deal with the new little munchkin that's challenging! (but oh, so worthwhile!)
Based on that first picture, it looks like you're having either an alien, a penguin, a butternut squash, or a bowling pin.
Congrats!
:D
:hypocrite:

that was great!
If you said that to me when I was pregnant you might've gotten slapped. :laughhard:
I'm pregnant too - (did you see my thread in Parenting??) - and just today, I told my mother "Realistically, all newborns look a bit like aliens - it's really RARE to have a cute newborn. Babies don't get cute until they're 3-6 months" lol - I don't know if I'll think different when my baby is born, but I still think that babies look kinda funny ;) lol
I agree to a point nicolejoy (and CONGRATULATIONS!!! by the way :-D).
However, we saw some videos in Lamaze and when they cleaned up the babies and gave them to their mommas, and the babys were just laying there looking at their parents, they are so cute! My heart just melted! I do think that the seemingly HUGE eyes in that tiny little head are a bit disturbing at first :o LOL.
Little bit of an update. I went to the doctor Yesterday and she said that my blood pressure is actually better than on my last visit so if that continues she isn't going to move my due date at all. Yippee!! Also, the little one is about 4 lbs now and stretching like she is getting ready to run a marathon. I'm probably going to have a permanent iimprint of the shape of her lil hiney on my tummy forever lol Ah well, at least I know she is healthy and mobile lol.
