Sharing one of the most important days of my life with my daughter! I shed a few tears looking back at Our10.11.08! She enjoyed seeing her Mommy and Daddy and other family and friends!!! It was fun watching Ella’s face light up when seeing so many familiar faces in our wedding album. I had our album stored away in a cabinet and have seen it a number of times but always thought Ella was to young to understand. Today I came across it again and thought it would be a perfect day to share one of the most important days of my life with her. Having a “storybook” to show her from start to finish of our wedding day made it so much more enjoyable. I am sure we will continue to look at our album and as she grows up I am sure the interest will fade… but I will always have that look on her face when she saw her Mommy and Daddy in that book for the first time. That will stick with me forever!

This past Sunday Megan and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary. Has it really been a year already? It really feels like just yesterday we were taking pictures…
Growing up I attended many weddings on my Mom’s side of the family. Each wedding my Mom’s cousin, Uncle Jack, ((as I grew up calling him)) would always do a special dance with the bride. It did not matter who was being married, whether it be one of his son’s, one of his nieces or nephews, or even now one of his grandchildren, he danced this special dance with each of the brides. This became a family tradition which I hoped I would be able to enjoy at my wedding, and I did!!!
Rick and Maria were kind enough to give us digital copies of the pictures from Our 10.11.08 in order to display them on Inside Our Shell! We reduced the quality and made them much smaller so they’ll download quick, so if you see a picture that isn’t super sharp it’s our fault not the Blanco’s!
BTW: The pictures are absolutely beautiful!
One of the hobbies that Megan and I share is the love of cooking, we seem to have no trouble working together in our cramped culinary quarters. We weave and bend out of each others way without thinking and always offer a lending hand when another kitchen utensil or tool is needed.
But despite our love for cooking and the ease of working together, one thing continues to frustrate us on a continuous basis – our kitchen is small. Not only is it small, but for the longest time almost all of our utensils were shoved into the same drawer. Everything from quarter teaspoon measuring spoons and rolling pins to spatulas to turners ((yes, there’s a difference. See, spatulas aren’t used for flipping)) were thrown into this almost 10-inch deep cavern of a drawer.
Because our lovely drawer continued to frustrate us almost on a daily basis, we decided something needed to be done. The newlyweds needed to find a solution and put it in place ASAP!
Wow a post without a title using Our 10.11.08!!! Let us see how long until it is used within this writing!
With our wedding day and honeymoon behind us looking back has been exciting for both Josh and I! So many fond and everlasting memories, we like to relive many of the moments and happenings both from Our 10.11.08 ((that didn’t take long – ha!)) and our honeymoon. While we relived our wedding day as best we could through Inside Our Shell, we also wanted to write a little something about our honeymoon – Playa Del Carmen, Mexico!
We promised we would not use the same naming sequence – “blah from Our 10.11.08” – I did change it up a bit. With the wedding cake being a main focal point of almost every wedding reception, including ours, it only fit to use “Our 10.11.08” for this writing as well!
The incident that occurred involving Josh & I, our photographers Rick & Maria, and our wedding cake still is something we talk about and share with guests at our wedding as well as just a story we like to share because now looking back it was a funny happening and something we both felt should hold a writing of it’s own here at Inside Our Shell.
