Im Back!!!!





I'm back! Yay! Sorry it has been a long week since the last time i posted. Here is a brief recap of my crazy busy hectic week which will hopefully explain why I have been missing:

My last post was last Saturday: Before I recap Saturday I will let everyone know that Friday night we had to go to the ER because Zach had food lodged in his throat. Very scary and he still cannot eat much solid food. :(
Saturday was my brothers graduation, we were busy all day from going to the graduation to eating a huge dinner and seeing my 93 year old aunt then went and to see my friend Stacey! (I will recap with pictures later)

Sunday was my brothers graduation party, however prior to the party Zach and I went to a friend of our soccer game to say hi to him, then met his family at David's bridal because his sister invited me while she searched for dresses. From David's bridal we went straight to my moms for the party. After the party we went to Jamestown to play cards with Zach's best friend and his girlfriend. (I will post pictures later of this too).

Monday was our last day in RI. We spent the day packing and spent time with mom. We got our favorite subs for lunch that we can't get in Georgia. We left mom's and headed to North Kingstown to meet Zach's family for wing night at our favorite restaurant. We did this last year too so it is becoming a ritual.

Tuesday morning we left at 4am. We got as far as Penn, and Zach was sick and needed me to drive. 10 1/2 hours later I drove us home. We got home at 8, unloaded the car, just in time for the Celtics game.

Wednesday was a typical day after a vacation day..loads and loads of laundry and grocery shopping. My brother is down here in Georgia with us for a little while so I helped him get his room set up.

Thursday was more running around, cleaning and so on. I also had to tutor and meet up with my trainer. Then it was game 7 for the Celtics which sadly we lost(Aimee you do have to admit it was a good game)

Friday I went to the gym and helped my brother look for a job. Friday night we met Zach at Longhorn for dinner.

Saturday (yesterday) i guess you can say in honor of fathers day my brother and I went to see Toy story 3. My brother was obsessed with this right around the time that my dad passed away. So he has a connection to it. How ironic is it that in Toy Story 3 Andy is going to college, and my brother just graduated from high school! After the movie he we ran some errands and came home. I was tired and fell asleep.

On to Getting to Know you Sunday!

Getting to know YOU


*to play..copy the questions..answer them..then come back here and link up*


The questions..

1. While at the beach, pool, etc..Do you cover up your assets or show them off? They tend to get shown off :)
2. Road trips or Plane trips?
Both! I would much rather take a plane, but if it is a fun road trip I can't pass it down.
3. I can't stand it when...?
People cut me off when I'm driving.
4. Have you ever gone topless at the beach?
No! I am not brave enough for that.
5. How many blog carnivals do you do a week?
What is a blog carnival?? Someone help me out with this question?????
6. My favorite thing about the weekend is...?
Sleeping in!! Spending time with Zach if he is off.
7. Pancakes or waffles?
Love them both and don't eat them alot they are all too fattening...lol but I love Belgium waffles with strawberries and whip cream.
8. Water Park or Amusement Park?
Amusement park because both have way to long of lines and I would rather ride more rides then wait forever in them, water parks don't have flash passes.
Head over to MANNLANDs to link up

And last but not least my Father's day post!
As you all know that I lost my dad almost 14 years ago. He passed on October 14, 1996. I shared my love for Mariah Carey and the relation to my dad here.

I also wrote a poem for my dad.

I unique figure came to me,
It's beauty set me free
It flew around me in the fall, as a sign to be strong and tall.
It helped me through I'll never forget, How I was upset.
Daddy's little girl lost her dad, it made her sad.
He left her to grow and always remember, He'll stay in her heart always and forever.
She sees a butterfly she knows is him, always on her shoulder until the end!

RIP Dad xoxox


My grandfather passed away last March. Usually for father's day I am calling him to say hi and happy father's day.

I am sitting on my gradfather's lap in this picture and my dad is standing behind him.
I am down to 1 person left to celebrate father's day with until I have kids that is. My father in-law!
Happy father's day Mr. Tobin and to all the other father's out there!

This weeks Favorite Fridays topic is:

Movie Trilogy!
And my pick is:
Pirates Of The Caribbean Trilogy!!

I for some strange reason love these movies, I can watch them over and over again. And no it is not because I am a huge Johnny Depp Fan because I am not at all. He does do an amazing job in these movies and in some others but my celebrity in this movie that i love is this guy:
Can we just smile and breathe :)

Thursday To-Do



Today I have been super busy! My To-do list before we leave tomorrow just seems to keep on growing....Ohhh Well!
Today I went to the gym this morning to work out with my trainer.

Then I quickly came home and showered to leave again to meet my friend Krissy and her adorable 3 months old today for lunch at Chili's

Then I went to get my car serviced, I needed an oil change. While waiting I went over to Barnes and Noble and read a little and got the new Chelsea Handler book "Bang Bang" since I do not own that one and I am in the process of reading her other 2 books.
After leaving Toyota, I went to Target to get a belt, got my rings clean so they are nice and shinny for my anniversary, and went by Zach's work. I dropped off my left overs from lunch so he had something to snack on since he is on the closing shift.

I came home and made reservations for dinner for 2 nights next week while we are at Disney and then my dog sitter came to pick up ms. Jazzy, she was very sad to leave me :(

I finally had a chance to blog and have to keep it short because the Celtics are on tonight and I have to finish cleaning and packing we leave in less than 24 hours!!! YAY!!

Wedding Wednesday!


Today will be my last week of Wedding Wednesday!

This week I will recap my reception/dances!




Zach and I danced to Luther Vandros and Mariah Carey's version of Endless Love for our first dance.

Then for the mother son dance he and his mom danced to My Wish by Rascall Flatts.


As most of you know by know I lost my dad when I was 12 years old. My brother at the time was 5. I wanted to dance with my dad's dad for this dance, but he got sick and passed away in March before our wedding. So it was up to my extremely shy brother to do the honors. I asked him and he agreed although i wouldn't call it dance since he just stood there.

It took me a while to pick a song, I thought about My girl, because that was my dad's song to me.
Then I said what about One Sweet day and play it in honor and memory of him.
Finally I decided on Dance with my Father, the words were absolutely perfect. Everyone told me i was going to cry. I managed to hold it together until we turned to take a picture for someone and i saw my grandmother(my dad's mom), she was crying. Seeing her and my mom and everyone on my side of the room crying, I lost it.



Ohh well! The food was amazing, we had so much food i cannot even remember it all, we had soup, salad, shorbet and for the main course filet minon and 2 jumbo baked stuffed shrip.

Then for dessert we had a white chocolate swan with chocolate moose flambe and a huge chocolate covered strawberry, not to metion the yummy cake.




Finally all the fun and dancing began!

Next week I have more pictures as I am sharing the album I made in photoshop and ordered on Shutterfly!
