Honeymoon

Just finished day 2 of the honeymoon. it alomst midnight San Diego but 2 here. I'm ready for bed. So far it's been  blast. Lacy will add to the blog and post pics. Yeah man!

I would like to introduce.... MR. AND MRS. HESTER!

       Well the day has come and gone!  I cant believe it!  Thank you for everyone who came to witness our marriage, and to all of you who either played a role or helped in any way!  We will be forever grateful to you! Much Love!

       We are running a little behind and Rob is giving me that look...(you know...the get off the computer...we have stuff to do look...) :o)  So I got to run!  Enjoy these pics until I get more! 

XoXo!  

And finally.....
  

                Love, "The Hesters"  :o)

"W-Day" has finally arrived!

Wow....


        Ok...I will admit...I'm getting nervous!  Not about marrying Rob...but kinda like the nervousness you get right before you go on stage.....excited/awkward/uncomfortable with everyone staring at you!  :o)  Im sure this will all escape me once it comes down to the moment...but all this idle time to just sit and think about it isn't helping!

        Rob admitted that he is feeling nervous now too!  Also not cold feet, but just nerves are building up about everything!  Its a big deal!  :o)  I think its good to have nerves a little, as long as they aren't so bad that you cant focus and remember your wedding day!

        Im sure it will be amazing and I can't wait to get back on here to share our day with you!  Till next time!  :o)!

                                          Love, The Bride to Be! 

                                                                Practicing for Today!!!

Hello,

      Gonna make this short.....we need to head to bed!  Its a big day ahead of us tomorrow!  We are both in disbelief that the day has come already!
 
      We had a blast with our family and friends at the rehearsal dinner!  It was exhausting but fun!  I guess its a little preview of what's in store for tomorrow....ONLY X's 10!!!!  :o)  We are both excited though!  I love being around all my family and friends!  It will be a wonderful day!  I can't wait!!!

       Keep posted!  I will try to post Monday, with some pics from the wedding!  For now, I will post some pics from the rehearsal dinner!  Enjoy!  Lots of Love from Us!!!  Monday I will finally be able to sign off as a Hester...Officially!  :o)  WooHoo!

                    Love,
                           The Bride and Groom!

Packing for the honeymoon!

So only 2 full days left till Sunday!  I can't believe it!  But now everything is pretty much done!  I tried on my dress for the last time before I will wear it down the isle!  It is soooo exciting!  I can't wait for Rob to see me in it!  I know he will love it and be amazed!


We are just about done packing for the honeymoon....except for the things you have to pack at the last minute anyways! Pizza is on its way here now for dinner and then we need to do a few last wedding things before the rehearsal dinner on Saturday night. 

We are soo excited for the big day and can't wait to see all of our family and friends!  I will try to post another blog before the wedding but if life gets too crazy over the next day or so then I may not get to it!  If that happens then we will officially be Mr. and Mrs. Hester the next time we post!

We are hoping to be able to post while on the honeymoon too so keep checking back!

We Love You All!

Love, Rob and Lacy

5 FULL DAYS TILL "W" - DAY!

Hello,

       Last night we met with my brother Nick and sister-inlaw Melissa to go over the ceremony!  It was a lot of fun and has made the whole thing more real!  We practiced exchanging the vows so we can know what to expect and it was amazing..I almost cried practicing....I'm going to be a blubbering mess on the real day!  :o)  Rob will be too!  haha! 

        I finished my program project a few minutes ago and have one more Walmart run to do!  No biggie will be in and out in a flash!

        I also have a job interview today for a nanny job that would be starting in June.  3 days a week!  I hope I can get it!  I know it would take a lot of stress off of us financially!  :o)  Keep your fingers crossed!  Thanks!

        Love, Rob and Lacy

*Here is a pic of us from back in August 2009 when Sherri-Ann my cousin accepted the job of Flower Girl for the wedding!*

MIA

      So we were MIA on the blog for a few days!  We have been suuuuuper busy with last minute wedding stuff!  AAHHH... One last project to finish up!  Assemble the programs!  They are printed, now we just have to put them together!  I will be going to my moms house tomorrow after running a few last errands to tie all the ribbons on the programs to hold them together....

       While doing this I will be watching my friend's kids (as I always do on Mon, Wed, and Fri)...so Im thinking it will be a movie day!  Thank God for Disney and Pixar!  :o)  Thankfully they are WONDERFUL babies to take care of!  I love 'em!

         So its 12:30am so I am going to keep this blog short!  Gotta get my beauty sleep!  I want to look a pretty as possible for the big day!!

            Lots of Love,
                  Rob and Lacy


PS.... The pic is an oldie but a goodie!  Was taken back in July/Aug....Have lost another 70lbs or so since then!  Wow!  Love the pic though, its one of my favorites of us! ENJOY!

Long day apart!

Good Morning Friends,

      So its another day closer!  :o)  But today just seems like any other ordinary day!  Im babysitting my friend's kids and also my Maid of Honor's little girl as well!  Fun day filled with babies!  I think we might take a walk to the park to play!

      Some stressful stuff going on right now but this too shall pass! 

      Rob has a group job interview today with the local YMCA for a summer camp counselor job!  Please think possitive thoughts!  He really wants the job!

      So between rob being gone all day at work and me being busy all day babysitting, and then his interview tonight...it will be a long day apart!  Oh ...well...!  *sigh*  (young love is sickening isn't it?!)

      We are still super excited about the big day coming up!  Yesterday we secured the reception room layout and had a mini date down at the beach afterwards.   And we got the projector and screen lined up for the picture slideshow!  We also hit up walmart for a lot of our honeymoon needs (ie: sunscreen, lotion, travel size shampoo/conditioner, hand sanitizer, water shoes for the hike up Dunns River Falls, and we even found a Red Stripe T-Shirt for Rob to wear on the plane to Jamaica! 

     Time for me to get back to the babies!  Till next time!

                                           Love, Rob and Lacy

Rise and Shine

      Well....here we are in the single digits.....9 days and counting till the big day!  Still can't believe it!

       Today Rob and I have to go out to my mom's work (local high school) because the tech teacher there is going to be letting us borrow a powerpoint projector and screen that connect to our computer so that we can show a picture slideshow at the reception.  And we have to go down to the ceremony/reception site (the pic below is where we will be having the ceremony) and finalize the room layout for the tables and everything...FUN FUN!  :o)  Oh yea we have to stop at a few banks and get the money for some of the vendors!  My mom is meeting with the florist (my cousin) tonight too!  Going to pay her and finalize the needs for the day! 

       So I'm sitting here finishing breakfast, playing farmville on facebook and waiting on Rob to be ready to go!  Just praying everything comes together smooth!

The Almost Newlyweds!!!

Hello Friends,
   
     Wow...We are counting down from 10 now!  Tomorrow we will be officially in the single digits on the countdown!  It's truly AMAZING how fast the past 10 months has flown by!  Back in July when we got engaged it fealt like we had all the time in the world!  And we had knocked so many of the major projects out of the way in the very begining that I didnt think it would be this crazy this close to crunch time!  I guess this just goes to prove that its impossible to be 100% ready ahead of time!  :o)  No worries though!  Even though things are a little stressful right now, it is a fun and exciting kind of stress!  We figure, "We will only get to feel this type of stress once in our lives....might as well enjoy it and make the best of it!"

     With all the help of my mom we have been able to wrap up many loose ends and complete some projects that were in limbo and we are feeling like we are finally READY!  I had realized too that we still need to start preparing for the packing of our bags to Jamaica!!!  Thats also only a week and half away!  So last night I started the packing list!  Everything I could think that we could possibly need!  And Yes....passports are at the top of it!  (Dont want to forget those!)

      Anyways, all in all we are super excited about the BIG DAY being just around the corner and are very excited to see all of our family and friends!  It will surely be a day that we NEVER forget!  And a big THANK YOU to all our family and friends who are playing a role in our wedding or helping with setup and clean up!  We couldn't make this day happen without you guys!  Love You!
