The Reinmuth Family

This last Sunday I participated in my first Celebrating Adoption photoshoot. It was fun...such a warm, loving family to photograph. They adopted both of their children when they were infants.

I am back, and I am officially Mrs. McDougall!!

Boy, does that feel great.

The wedding was wonderful. Beyond words wonderful. I think our wedding was exactly what a wedding should be...first and foremost, a celebration of our love, undying devotion and unity. Beyond that, it was fun, hectic, and just a really good time. I left for my honeymoon thinking...dang, I've got an awesome family. They cooked, cleaned, set up, took down and HANDLED life for a few days for me. Stunning, amazing, loving. And I'm not just talking immediate family, although they worked their tails off. I'm talking friends of family, grandparents, cousins (Jeremiah and his to-die-for cake), friends (hello Dionne, Mike, Paulette and my Wedding Coordinator extrordinaire Melissa).

And now that the honeymoon is over, we've returned to "normal" life (that is a joke!) and are starting to put things back in order. Not our apartment, mind you, but the rest of life.

I've had a few inquiries for Celebrating Adoption, and I thank you ladies. I am bubbling with anticipation over our photo sessions in the next few weeks. Work is crazy...I'm on track for a 50+ hour work week. Yikes. 2 weeks left after tomorrow and I get on day off...then school starts. I am so ready for that. So ready.

All I have so far is one little wedding picture...it was when we were leaving, during the confetti toss:

Peace, love, and all things pink!
