Last night Jeny fed Adler two muffins before dinner so that he would not eat very much pizza... without Jesse's knowledge. Adler usually eats three or four pieces and she wanted him to be a little more healthy. As the guys got home with the pizza Jeny and I left to go out to dinner. When we got back Adler did not have on a shirt and was running around. Jesse pointed to his stomach to draw attention to it when we realized, much to Jenyfer and I's horror, Adler's stomach was twice it's usual size and HE HAD AN OUTIE!!!!
Yes my friend, just as a pregnant woman in the later stages of gestation.... his belly button had popped out. font-After we had left the house he continued to eat a serving of yogurt, two slices of pizza and two hard boiled eggs! He threw up twice and went to bed early... poor thing... although it did not phase him a bit as he continued running around and laughing. Man that kid can eat!

Oh so Long Lines and Lot's of Traffic
We are in Maryland right now visiting Jess,and the boys. We have been going downtown to the D.C. mall for the last two days and have been in lines and lost at least 30 times as long as we have been enjoying exhibits and museums. Jess and I got up this morning and waited in a line for tickets to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. We left the house at 5:30 and Jess dropped me off at 6:30 so that he could drive around and find a parking spot. Only 700 people can go in a day and each person can get 4 tickets for a specified time throughout the day. The line was extremely long and when the booth opened at 8:00... over 2/3 of the line was turned away. I felt terrible for them!!!! The Bureau was awesome though. I saw millions and millions of dollars while I was there... I might be exaggerating slightly but you would not appreciate the story as much if I didn't.
In the National Museum of Natural History there is a section for Western Culture. The first display is of a human skeleton grabbing onto the horns of a goat skeleton... man taming the wild! As Doug walked up to the display next to me I, very calmly and with a slight hint of awe, told him that they dug up the remains of the two specimens exactly as they were displayed in the exhibit. I then tried to turn very slowly with a straight face while he stared with the most tender and trusting look at the display saying "Really? That is so cool!" I guess I did not turn fast enough cause he punched me before my face was completely hidden. I laughed so hard I disturbed all of the reverent exhibit observers around me but I could just not contain myself!!!
Doug and I got incredibly lost on the way home. I thought it was kinda funny but Doug definitely did not! After a long trip to see D.C. in it's entirety we are now home and Jen and I are going grocery shopping.

Pictures from the honeymoon
And sooo......
This is a little on the late side but better late than never... I guess???
We went to Amelia Island in Florida and it was beautiful. They happened to be drudging right out the back door of our bed and breakfast but what is a memory without an interesting story attached?!
He had just called me Jezebel for having painted toenails and exposed ankles
Leftovers was on the menu
Uh... no comment!
This was what was out our back door after you stepped over the piping.
After lunch one day.
I think Morgan and Jimmy wrote this... take a guess who wrote each part!!!

Shocking
We are all in Florida right now visiting some relatives and going to Sea World tomorrow. On the way here we stopped at Boston Market to eat dinner. I had just taken Bren to the bathroom and was headed back to our table when Doug turns around and grabs the front of my shirt in a not quite so appropriate area as he asked "what is that?" in a loud voice as we were standing next to the table.
I was so taken aback that I had no idea what to say. Noelle and I just looked at in amazement and horror. Apparently there was a large wet spot on the front of my shirt, compliments of the drool doctor, and he was wondering what the spot was and had not realized what area he had grabbed!!!

Wedding Pictures
These are only a few of the wedding pictures but Doug has them all on his computer and I figure a few is better than none!!!!
The day of the wedding was amazing. Most people said that it would fly by and that we would not get to enjoy it... they were wrong!!! I was able to relax and enjoy my friends and family all day long. This was due to everyone's efforts to make things go smoothly and also to all the planning that we had done ahead.
The ceremony was beautiful. Doug cried when I walked down the aisle and then seemed to be a little tense as I took my place beside him. So I proceeded to play thumb war with my unsuspecting victim (we play it all the time) and won easily. I smiled beautifully as I whispered "sweetie...I won!" I watched the reality of the situation dawn on his face as I fiercely choked back the laughter. I would like to say that the game loosened him up but I think that it only distracted him further.
The reception (I will post pictures later) was the best I have ever been to. Imagine that... I am biased about my own wedding.
The plan was to leave the reception on Doug's jet ski. I had bought white pants and a shirt for this very purpose... cant ride a jet ski wearing a wedding dress! As I ran into the bathroom to change into my "riding" clothes I was horrified to find that I had not packed a bra (my dress was a corset itself). Now, this might be something that would happen to most people but I am a planner and planners do not forget very important articles of clothing such as a bra.
The shirt that I had bought for the occasion was very thin and we were to run down to the lake... not the right circumstances for winging it!
I left the bathroom in search of one of my bridesmaids to steal the necessary equipment for running but I bumped into my adopted mother who happens to be a very proper, genteel southern woman instead. This is obviously only a facade to hide the crazy things that she does.
Now this woman is one of my favorite people in the world but this day I was truly shocked by her behavior. She proceeded to ask me what size I wore. I kept telling her that I needed to find one of my bridesmaids. I finally told her what size and she, with slight chuckle, said "you can have mine."
I laughed and we went back to the bathroom where my mother was waiting. I quickly changed and found my husband to make our departure. It was successfully carried out and the poor woman (who I have very carefully not named) finished out the night bra-less with none the wiser.

Nostalgia
I have been reading some of my previous posts. I am now overcome with nostalgic feelings about blogging. How I miss blogging. I know that nobody reads my blog and that the few who did quit as soon as I slowed down to about one post a month. No, I don't blog for the sake of others reading what I have to say. I blog because I truly love going back and reading about my experiences in life, my thoughts, my perceptions and just how darn funny I am!!!
I am sure that I have said before that I think that "You are the funniest person that you know!" I believe this wholeheartedly and I laugh out loud every time I read my posts from the past.
Blogging to me is what a journal is to others. I hope that I will get back to it one day so that I can have these little snippets of who I am throughout my life as we are ever changing and growing!

Start Blogging Again
Okay y'all... so we decided to start blogging again and nobody is blogging except for Jeny!!!!
I am a little behind but here are some pictures of the Washington shower and when I get the wedding photos I will put them up as well!!!!
Doug and I took turns opening presents!
Mama Pullen wrote down all of the names and the gifts given!
Everybody who helped!
Jen did the decorations...thanks Jen!
I look positively befuddled... I could not figure out what it was at first!
You would think that she was stabbing me.
Did Doug have more fun playing with the wrapping?!!!!

Medicinal Conspiracy
I experienced the most disturbing bodily function humanly possible last night!
As I was slowing down for the night and getting ready for bed I gathered my 9 pills that I am required to take. I grabbed a large glass of water and headed to the computer to look up a few wedding things before going to bed and proceeded to ingest my prescriptive poison.
After taking eight of my nine pills I saw the light at the other end of the tunnel (can you tell I don't enjoy taking pills?!). With my last pill I very successfully caused a road block by lodging it in my throat. I drank the rest of my water trying to coax the little guy to loosen his grip and fall with his brothers and sisters into the acidic pit that would inevitably become his fate. My efforts were in vain for he would not falter.
I continued playing on the computer and ignoring the little lump in my throat that was inhibiting the ability to swallow, be comfortable and think clearly. After a few minutes of this I felt a bubble of air welling up inside of me.
My burp charged up my throat as if on a mission. When it reached just the right location, the little capsule around the pill, that was so desperately holding on, simultaneously melted. The result of this catastrophic coincidence was a very large burst of powder spraying into my mouth.
I immediately gagged, threw up in my mouth, swallowed by reflex and then ran to the kitchen to get some more water.
Moral of the story... do not take any form of pills ever for they are conspiring to ruin all forms of enjoyment and relaxation!

Who sprung the leak?
I am thinking that I might be slightly emotional right now!!!
Let me give you a slight background on my emotional habits... I don't have any. At least not in the crying area.
Tonight I watched a movie with my girls called Bridge to Terabithia. I not only shed a few tears on the sad part... I bawled like a baby for 20 minutes!!! I am talking serious crying with all of the symptoms from snotty nose to the dull headache. My crying episode did not stop until the movie was over and the credits had rolled.
This whole evening just took me off guard! No need to fear though... I have my emotions back under control (I think)!!!

Back out of Whack
This morning I went back the chiropractor as a follow up for my rib (I have already been back to get my rib set). My appointment was for 10:30 but Mom came and woke me up at 7:15 and asked me to ride along for her appointment. The guy asked if I just wanted to go ahead and get adjusted so I didn't have to come all the way back which was totally nice of him!
He rubbed his hands down my back and then poked me in my sacrum as he said
"That hurts!"
"Ouch!"
"I called it" he replied with a slight hint of glee. I guess when you are a chiropractor, and all you do every day is crack backs, you have to entertain yourself somehow. He is really good though. He can feel your muscles and then tell you where you hurt before you get around to it.
When he checked my rib he found that it was still out of place in the front. He made me feel my rib so that I could see how much it was sticking out compared to my other ribs. Apparently you can dislocate a rib and then put it back in the front or back but the opposite might not go back into place depending on how tight your muscles are. When it is out in the front it will shift your sternum over and then mess up your whole back.
He popped my rib back in place in the front and I was on my way!!!
