Teaser....

So I received some pics off of friends and families' cameras from the wedding. I will start posting more pics when I get the professional ones back..which I cannot wait for!!!

A mini update is:

I am officially Mrs. Semans :) (Except we haven't turned in the marriage cert. yet lol) I absolutely love being together, living with him (finally! Because we didn't do it before marriage) and all the fun things that come along with it.

I cannot believe the weddding has come and gone already! Honestly, sometimes it makes me sad to think its over already, after all that planning. lol. Thank God, I wasn't a stressed bride and rarely stresssed through the process or I'd be totally bummed! My dress is just handing in the closet because I havent had time to do anything with it! lol

So advice for upcoming brides: Unless a something major happens: the day will go perfect, it will be like your fairytale. Don't stress on the small stuff before the wedding.. and dont stress on ANYTHING the day of the wedding. Just enjoy all of it because that will be the fastest but best day of your life!!! And the most important part is your marrying your best friend; not so and so is coming or not coming, someone did this, etc. It doesn't matter. Trust me :)

After the wedding we went on our mini-moon for a few days in Reno/Tahoe area and then a few days of pampering. I will get into that more when I post those pictures!!! But it was a blast and a much needed vacation!

Now real life has completely set in. I got a great new job... as a medical assistant in a pediatric office, and so far I love it. This was my first week of working full time again in 3 months, so it's great. (Gonna be better when I get my pay check :) lol. It is really tough on the feet right now because I'm standing for 8 hours a day, but that will totally get better next week!

Along with job, trying to move my stuff in ( because its still at my parents house), and cleaning up the apt from all the presents we received, oh yea and adjusting to living with my new husband (who isnt the cleanest thing in the world :) lol, I started school on the week of my wedding too!!! So this past week I've been trying to play catch up to the two weeks I missed and it has been tough! I study at lunch, when I get home, and now on the weekends! Once I catch up to the work, I'm hoping to get in a routine of things so I can actually spend time with my husband :) lol

Okay, So I uploaded these onto my Picasa thing... so check out the pics from the wedding! Hopefully the pro ones will be here soon!
I can't wait to catch up on all your guys' blogs! My reader is FULL!

WEDDING PICS

TEASIN U

So I am officially Mrs. Samantha Elaine Semans :)
We're on our "mini-moon" in Tahoe/Reno area..... so I will post more later but thought I'd tease you guys about the Perfect, Most Wonderful day of our life :)
<3

Fire Me!

I'm sorry guys!! You can TOTALLY FIRE ME! I have not been a good blogger in forever, but for a very good reason... My wedding is on Friday, THIS Friday!! That's three days away! Crazy right? I am not at all stressed or worried, just excited. I stayed up til 3 am last night because I could not sleep.. too excited. If this keeps up, I will totally take some benadryl to knock my butt out :)

So on the job front.. I GOT A JOB! As if we didn't know this already, but God is great. He is amazing. Always providing and always there for me! I am so blessed. I applied for this staff agency and the staff agency directed me to this Pediatric doctor's office in Pleasanton. I did five interviews with them over the course of three days. Then I had to suffer the weekend without knowing whether or not I had the job... actually, I really didn't suffer at all, because that happened to be my bachelorette weekend which was a blast! So I didn't think about the job until Monday. Then Monday morning rolls around and they hired me as a Medical Assistant at $15/hr to start and I get raised to $17 after I am hired as a full time employee. So like I said, God is great. He provided for us and I can just focus on the wedding now, and not worry about how we will survive after the wedding. It is all taken care of :)

So I will have to fill you in on the girl's weekend, life, wedding, rehearsal dinner tomorrow night,etc. But I gotta run to go do place cards with some friends!!!
Stay in there.. I will be a great blogger again soon :)

Take 2!

So here is part two of the picture crazy posts.. sorry if they bug you, but I like them. They're simple and sweet!

Youth Car Wash
This past weekend we held a youth carwash for my youth group. It turned out great, was lots of fun, and made great profit!

Ok, tilt your head for this one.. sorry.

Monterey
This past weekend we went to Monterey for Matt's brother and sis-in-law's birthday. Not only did we have a blast down there but it really made for a great weekend! The weather was awesome and totally beat out the 100+ degree weather from home. I did miss camping to go, but we had the best weekend we've had in a loong time. So it was well worth it!

We were having wayy too much fun @ the beach. He was begging not to leave.

I was pointing to seals that were jumping around in the ocean.. I tried to get pics of it but they were too far out.

I really really like this picture. Dunno why!

I LOVE the beach. and him.

I was trying to make my footprints stick before the wave took them away :( lol

Enough Said.

So it was windy in Monterey, obviously, yet we needed to blow out the candles. I was in charge of holding the cake, when Matt's brother Tip grabs the blow torch to light the candles. Hilarious!

Aura!
A few Saturdays ago, some of Matt's friends & mine got together to try a new club. It was a blast.. Want proof? Check out these pics! lol

Chillin in the backseat after the club!

Me trying to sneakly crawl back to the backseat to sit with the girls.

4th Of July!
I love this holiday, love love!

We bought sparklers for my wedding.. instead of throwing rice or anything else.. We're going to have all the guests hold sparklers as we walk through.. it's going to be gorgeous!

So we decided to test them out on the 4th of July

Alanna's yummy & patriotic cake!

Random..

So late last night, since I couldn't sleep, I decided to email all my pics from my phone to my email. Too many times have I broke the phone and lost all of the pictures inside of it. So now, lesson learned, I back up my stuff... and I would def recommend you ladies do it as well!! Since I did that.. you get the pleasure of seeing what has been in my phone for the past month or so.. and get to see more pictures than words.

So be prepared! Lots of pics!! I'll post more later!
