We are having a ........ BOY!!!! Byron S. McGhee III (yes the third :) We are currently at 23 weeks... I am busy busy helping plan my baby shower... yeah poop im not suppose to but my situation allows it.... I stepped down from my job, hubby's new career blessed us to do so , so I wont stress during this time... MY mother, 4 good friends and cousin are throwing my husband and I our baby shower... We already had one surprise shower in California, (see all the yellow clothes, we didnt know what we were having at the time) Also, my mother cant hold water for anything, and i found out at my family reunion in three weeks, they are throwing a surprise shower for me, hubby and our cousin and his wife.... smh at mom gotta love her But since I am at home during the day, they got me a reloadable visa card and my mother and hostess load money on it every week so i can buy what I want for the shower... its funny shopping online all day... They planned the whole weekend: Friday- pregnancy massage for me reg massage for them, lunch and favor party/girl sleepover while hubby hangs out with out of town friends... Saturday is the shower day (at hotel conference room) then that night suite at nearby hotel for hubby and I.... Sunday, parents are hosting a brunch at the place where we had our wedding reception... I feel so truly blessed.... The theme is Cirque du Bebe (french circus) I found it on the hostess blog... http://www.hostessblog.com/2009/09/free-printables-cirque-du-bebe-blue/ Also the lovely Shayne aka Unpredictablebride is helping out with details like: wish cards, water bottle labels, etc..., so thankful for her! You know its all me you guys... bright colors, feather centerpieces... Well again I miss you all I will stop by and post updates at a later date... love you all <3

Gorgeous6 needs to know... - Which venue????

Thu, 10 Feb 2011 18:48:00 PST

So I found two venues I am thinking about... Well we will be having our family reunion the week after our vow renewal and it is in New Braunfels TX... I was born and raised in San Antonio Texas about 35-45 mins away... so why not do it there... We could do it on the Riverwalk (kind of cheesy but i like it) or the Botanical Gardens or the McNay Art Museum Here are some sights to see pics... Riverwalk: http://marriageisland.webs.com/ratesservices.htm Botanical Gardens http://www.sabot.org/?nd=home Mcnay Art Museum http://www.mcnayart.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46&Itemid=203 Let me know your thoughts...

Gorgeous6's Ugly Post - The hiccups of my day....

Wed, 22 Sep 2010 15:08:00 PST

So I just realized I never got to tell you guys about my wedding day... um yeah.. I am going to post the good, the bad and ugly... I am going to get the ugly out the way first.... Ok... Lets backtrack to the night before... All I wanted to do the night before was sit with my bridesmaids in the hotel room and watch Sex & the City 2 on bootleg with wine... well I get there and ther is a strip pole... ok i have tons of still still to do and i didnt want to seem not appreciative but you know I specifically asked to just relax the night before and prepare for the next day after... I get pulled into the a room and team bridesmaid a (yes they were divided and clicked up) starts saying I need to let loose and party,I was being boring I was like ok but only for an hour I have tons of stuff to do... Two hours go byand there is a knowck onthe door, the front desk , can you guys please keep it down... I then said ok guys thats enough, lets call it for the night... did they listen um no! I go to finish up favors with team bridesmaid b and i hear bump on the floor over and over, so again a knock on the door... (keep in mind I work for the this company) I am goingto have to ask you guys to quiet down or leave... He leaves and I still hear bump... I am crying and not understanding why the others are not listening that this is still my company, I still have to have a job on Monday.... well they then proceed to tell some of my bridesmaids they cant spend a night in the room they have to go elsewhere... wth???? They told my half-sister who flew in from Illinois and my friend who drove from Beaumont they needed to leave... no. So then..... they (team bridesmaid a) want to have a meeting saying there is tension and we need to fix it.. at this point all I can do is laugh...I cannot believe it... Well Team bridesmaid a left and team bridesmaid b ended up helping me finish the last of everything until 4:30 am.. I have to be at the hair salon at 7:00am.... More coming soon...

Gorgeous6 really misses you! - To all of my WBC Sisters!!!!

Thu, 12 Aug 2010 19:18:00 PST

OMG, I so miss all of you toooo much! I have been on an emotional rollercoaster you guys! I was really pumped and ready to show you all of my pictures but my photographer have not responded to any of my texts, calls, or emails. I have seen the pictures, but I need the copyright or code taken off to share them with you, but thank goodness, I have been receiving photos, cds of photos in the mail, so I will post them on facebook and here for you all! My great-grandmother died, and on the way to her awake, hubby got a call that his grandmother had a heart attack, then we pulled ourselves together to go inside to the awake, we get out and then get a call my uncle had passed away from prostate cancer. So it has been some good days and bad days you guys! Ok next.... we did decide (hubby and I) we will renew our vows EVERY YEAR. (yes I said it) However we wont have a big celebration every year... (just at the five year or ten year mark) we will do something very intimate each year... starting with our one year anniversary, our housewarming, then off to the beach in Miami (my best friend, sister his brother and best friend) and leave for a cruise to the bahamas... so basically we will renew our vows intimately every year in a new place... I cried when he told me that he wanted to do that, he said life is too short and that his heart was so on fire when he looked in my eyes and said I DO, and he wants to feel that often. I promise I am back yall... I have so much to tell you all, it is oozing out of my body!

Gorgeous6..... - featured on etsy.com listing!!!!

Fri, 16 Jul 2010 08:08:00 PST

So I decided toward the end of the wedding process that I wanted to do a birdcage veil. I ordered from clager6 on etsy.com. Guys she was amazing, she communicated fast (as is fact I was pushing it with the time crunch of waiting so late) and when I purchased, she shipped it out the next day. It even got here quick! I loved the veil and thought it was great. Well I placed positive feedback of course on the product on etsy.com and you know they give you an option to place a picture under your comment. Well I check back and she has my wedding pic on her listing. I was so excited! Check it out.... http://www.etsy.com/listing/47684555/russian-net-full-birdcage-veil Check out her products you guys, she is great! I just had to share that with you ladies!

Thursday was the rehearsal for the surprise reception entrance.... I get up and have my faithful few bridesmaids with me and we go, drop off the ribbon for the cake, get hostess jewelry, get remaining bridesmaids shoes, get our toes done and then head home for a quick shower and head to the rehearsal... we were an hour late AND we leaft the umbrellas, but the party learned very quickly and I thought it would turn out pretty good.... We came back and went to get mexican food for our loooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggg night ahead of us, at this place called Cha-Cho's and we organized the seating charts, wrapped the cookies, inventories of all items, labeled each box by color and content,.... me and my faithful 3 bridesmaids (out of 12) - Well my Best friend who flew out started labeling my day of bag, rehearsal bag, wedding night bag, , I cant find my rehearsal dinner outfit... ugggghhhh! Thats when all of my stree poured out an I just balled and balled... they were all there with a shoulder to lean on Thank God! My mom was sleep this whole time and woke up and had to drive all the way to San Antonio to pick up my great aunt because no one would go get her..... We ended up going to bed at 5:30 am and waking up to the DRAMA Friday Brings! (sorry to keep yall waiting, have to do it to you) Pic shown is a before the wedding fanning.... I was so anxious!
