Sorry, I have no life

Well, let me explain.  I have no life because all I do is work.  Working between 50-55 hours a weeks doesn't leave much time for blogging.

Just in case you were wondering...Yes, I'm now enjoying my new job with all my kiddos but I can't tell a lie there were quite a few days when my whole room was crying and all I wanted to do was sit down and cry with them.  I've heard my fair share of "MAMA" wails over the past 4 weeks.  Friday we made chocolate covered bananas and that was probably a very big turning point with our class.  All the kids were on their best behavior and had so much fun doing it together.  My co-teacher and I were also able to share some pretty good laughs as we cleaned every surface and face that was covered in chocolate.

The banana pop event was the start to a very good weekend.  We made a quick trip (besides the hours of Chicago traffic) home for our friends Amy and Matt to celebrate the start of their forever.  The wedding was beautiful in the Kasson Catholic Church and the reception that followed was a blast in the Mayowood Stone Barn.  Of course I took way too many pictures and whittled it down to 89 good ones and 1 sweet video (Yes Amy, I'm going to make sure you get them all!)  So now, without further ado, I give you Amy and Matt Badzinski. (And a few cute ones of us ;)

Ready to rock out our first wedding as a MARRIED couple!
She had beautiful baby's breath all over

The Groom and his dad all ready to go.  What you don't see...the little wave he gave his bride before walking down the aisle

The BRIDE and her parents.
Giving away the bride to her soon-to-be hubby...Look at that beautiful dress!
Let's get down to business! 
Groom giving his bride her ring...She had to help get it on which probably explains her laughter.

Our cute favors...before I shook in attempt to get the bride and groom to kiss...yeah glass went everywhere.
Cupcakes look familiar? They're from Daube's too!  Copycats, but I'm definitely okay with this because they are so delicious!

Toss the Bouquet

Now, someone just had to get video of this hilarious moment when they were doing the garter toss.  The first couple seconds are a little crazy but bear with it!


We are so lucky to have shared this special day with them!  We're so happy for you Amy and Matt!

I hope you enjoyed!  Have a great rest of your week!
