So Brett and I got an air mattress as one of our wedding gifts and we were really excited about it. We were trying to think of a time when we would actually be able to use it, and we came to the conclusion that there wasn't one. At least not in the near future. So we do what anyone smart would do: we blew up our air mattress for no good reason other than to say that we've used it and put it on the living room floor! Unfortunately, we didn't get this brilliant idea until 10:00 at night. We got really excited, got it all set up to pump the air into it, then found out we didn't have batteries for our pump. Sad right? Well, we heard from our friends that you can blow up an air mattress with a hair dryer. SOOO....that's exactly what we did. Sounds simple, and in fact it was (other than the fact that I was paranoid we were going to melt the plastic or start a fire inside our apartment). The only bummer was, we didn't get it blown up until about 10:30, realized its not near as comfortable as our actual bed, laid on it for MAYBE 30 minutes while we watched some of our wedding video, and then deflated it immediately so we could have our living room back to normal. But was it worth it? YES. My biggest regret about this night was the fact that I didn't even take a picture of how silly we looked camping out for 30 min. in our living room to share with the blog world. Next time friends....next time.
Wedding video...
I mentioned above that we were watching our wedding video while laying on this air mattress. Yup, you heard it right. We got our wedding video this Tuesday and were SO excited to be able to re-live our special day! Some highlights from the video watching:
- getting to watch the moment when Brett and I saw each other for the first time
- watching my dad dance back down the aisle after the ceremony (didn't get to see that one in real life so this REALLY made my day)
- timing my dads speech and realizing it was a record 9 min. and 13 seconds
- going through the reception in slow motion to laugh at everyone's awesome dance moves (and of course rewinding to watch the REALLY funny ones)
- realizing that one of Brett's friends Joel actually got his glasses knocked off of him during the catching of the garter

Love the story of the air mattress, sounds like something me and Jerm would do. I remember what a sweet speech your dad did for Jen's wedding. Wish I could have been there to hear yours. 9 mins. is a long time!!!!
