So the ring story really wasn't finished...ha! The ring slipped on well at the wedding as he had lotioned up and then our hands were sweaty. Well, after about 3 days, we were in the Roy and Dale Museum in Branson (fun place and perfect time...Christmas lights, Christmas shows, and all that, but everyone else there was above 50 years old :)), when Zach started fidgeting with his band a lot. I asked him if he was okay. He told me that it was really tight and that he had tried to get it off with soap, but to no avail. About 15 minutes later and while my mood had been somewhat darkened and I was allowing myself some let out steam against Greenbergs, Zach asked if we could leave as it was really starting to hurt. My poor guy!! We drove back to the condo in silence and while his finger was turning a nice shade of plum red.
We put ice on it for a few minutes, then used lotion, and he, amid laughing and thinking it was all hilarious, tore it off finally. Ever since then I have been wearing it on a chain around my neck. He thinks it isn't fair that I get three rings and he gets none.
As soon as we got to Ankeny on Friday, we went to Kohls and checked into a new ring. We struck out. Then we made a last minute stop at Fiscus Jewelers. That proved to work out great! They used a wideband sizer and refigured his size, found one almost identical for half as much, and ordered it. We can even get it engraved as well when it comes in since they do it right there. Yay!! So we should get it no later than Tuesday of next week.
Zach told me and I have heard from other wives, that the rings don't really matter too much to the guys, but it really does to us wives. So we got on it and I can't wait to get it in and on for good on my husband's hand. He really compliments the wedding ring well! Ring three, but at least it wasn't three stikes and we were out!

Living in a Dream
I'm baacck!! So I have been happily...no, very much happily, married for 10 days now. Doesn't seem that long even. I feel like I am living a dream though since reality has yet to hit for me. It has for Zach, but it is all so different for me that I am having fun, but it doesn't feel real yet. Oh, well.
The wedding went well I believe. I think there were just about 300 there and that is even consdering a snowy weekend and Thanksgiving as well. I wonder how many wouldv'e been there if it wasn't a holiday weekend. Some may ask "Did you cry?". Well, I didn't at all. The closest I came to it was when Dad and I walked down the aisle and he was trying to hold back sudden sobs. Actually, I was trying not to laugh or giggle on stage. Zach did well too and didn't cry though he was close a couple of times.
After the wedding we waited around a while and I made a mad dash to the restroom (fun times in those dresses I tell ya). Apparently it worked out well, cause some little kid puked downstairs in the reception hall. Actually they got the leg of the photographer and they needed to clean up. Poor Donna! We got announced and Mr. and Mrs. Saylor and we went in and cut the cheesecake. We were nice to each other, but I couldn't eat any more of the tasty stuff cause I was too excited. I downed a glass of the yummy cranberry punch Mom made and then we started making rounds of seeing people. I was so happy to see the people who came. I got to see my good friend Karen from highschool and her two little girls for a short time. (I was so sad it wasn't longer!) Then an hour and 15 min. after the start of the wedding we were running out of the church whilst birdseed was being flung at us. I will tell you now that while it is safe environmentally, you will have birdseed everywhere for the next couple of days.
We drove off to get a couple more fun pics with Donna and then took off to the hotel. It was a good day and God blessed us in so very many ways!!!
