The Married Life!!!

       First off, I would like to congratulate one of my best friends, Mike Yost, and his new wife Kalee Yost (pictured left) on their wedding this weekend! It was an honor to be a part of their special day. Ps. I know yall see my photographer skills in the picture (straight Iphone4) lol.. The wedding party and the families of both Yost and Kalee traveled up to the wedding destination on Friday afternoon. I took a ride up with my boy Speez and 2 of the bridesmaids, Jamilee (made of honor) and Colleen. Once again, my sidekick (Iphone4) came in handy as we used the GPS to get out the Saxonburg! Once we pulled up and I got my first glimpse of where the ceremony was going to be held, I knew that if the weather held up and the rain stayed away, this would be an AMAZING day!!!!!!!! We unpacked the cars/set some things up/got our bedrooms situated/and started up our Cornhole tournament. Hopefully everyone knows what cornhole is???..if not, go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornhole
You see, usually I'm on Speezs team but for some reason, last weekend he decided to pick a new teammate and leave me on my own! That was his first mistake! lol.. I ended up being on Yosts team and we dominated that weekend and started to dominate at the wedding as well! NO ONE could stop us! If you know me, you know that I hate to LOSE in anything! (there Speez, I admitted it) and cornhole was no different! Other teams made excuses as to why Yost and I were crushing them, but it just came down to us being a better team! lol...We easily won 20 games that day until finally the 2 other members of the 4 Horsemen took us out! READ THIS- IF YOU WANT TO PLAY YOST AND I, YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND US! haha. Friday night consisted of stories/pictures/drinking/rehearsal/food/food/food/laughs/some tears from Kalee's mother, yea I seen them lol/tossing the pigskin/hanging with Stella (she was a duck, not a goose) haha/Jokes by Landi (he actually had about 4 or 5 good solid jokes!/Subway/and everyone going to bed by 10:30PM?? I don't understand that! lol..Kalee's younger brother Brian was in bed by 9! When we went to Vegas, he didnt fall asleep until 7AM! lol..I woke up last Saturday morning and headed over to where the guys were going to hang out until the wedding at 3:30. We literally had over 7 hours to kill! They played cornhole for a little bit before we noticed this Bee's nest out on the deck. Jeff, Speez, Landi, Brian, Yost, and I decided that we were going to attack it at all costs! We used just about anything we could find. Window cleaner/Clorox/bleach/OFF/and more! Seconds before we all decided to spray the nest, I realized this was not a smart idea at all! I thought about Yost getting stung by 8 hornets and having his face swollen for the wedding and how mad Kalee would be at HIM and us! lol.. There was no turning back now. We attacked, they swarmed, we ran! They started falling on the deck and our weapons of choice seemed to be working well! lol..We ran back on the deck and finished the job! No one was stung so I would have to say our mission was a success! I wish someone would have filmed it though! We headed inside and just bs'ed for a little while before it was time to start getting ready for the wedding! Obviously women take way longer to get ready then men, and for weddings, they take even longer lol.. They were up at 8 getting their hair done while all the guys but Speez were still sleeping! He gets up early! Jamilee was taking pics of Kalee getting ready and posting them on facebook and Yost seen! This dude is a character! He may have only seen the first pic she posted before she deleted him as a friend! (he told me he wasn't going to accept her again but he did as soon as humanly possible) lol.. To be honest, I knew Yost was a little nervous! It wasn't as obvious as one may think, but I sensed it! It was like an anxious nervousness if that makes any sense to you. One thing I do know though is that Speez was more nervous than Yost as he had to give his best man speech in front of 130some people! I bet yall didn't know that Speez had 2 different copies of the speech just in case Yost or someone wanted to be funny and hide it from him. (#ADfacts) The guys started getting ready and I won't lie, we looked good.  The Chocolate shoes really made the tux Kalee lol..Yost's brother and father joined the party along with my man Jay and we all took one last shot before we headed out for the wedding. Speez's toast went a little something like this, "just , just, drink.." Straight to the point !! The groomsmen started greeting people and we headed down to the ceremony and waited for things to get underway! The bridesmaids made their way down and once again I will be honest here, they all looked amazing! The twins, Amy, Melanie, Missy, Chelsea, Colleen, and Jamilee made their way down the hill all praying that they didn't fall lol..I know I was praying they didn't! You could sense how genuinely happy they were for Kalee..........and I guess Yost as well! lol.. When Kalee was making her way down with Momma Juls, lol, I took a peek over at Yost and he was one HAPPY man! She looked beyond beautiful! All of their friends and family stood as she headed to meet her future husband. Seemed like everyone had a camera of some sort snapping pictures of her. Even Mr.Spisak was snapping pics! lol.. In front of the minister they stood, holding hands, laughing, smiling, whispering, just being themselves. The weather was perfect eventhough all week it was saying RAIN RAIN and more RAIN! I knew my prayers to the weather God's would work! The ceremony was short and sweet and before I knew it, Speez was giving Yost the ring and the minister was saying, "I now pronounce you Husband and Wife, you may kiss the bride." They sure made the most of that kiss! lol.. trust me! Mr. and Mrs. Yost they finally were! The whole world seemed to be smiling at that time! Funny story, Yost told us he has no idea at all of what the minister was saying during the ceremony! lol.. For the next 25/30 minutes or so, we took pictures. I'm really looking forward to seeing how they came out. The reception was exceptional. I really liked the entire setup. Their 1st dance as Mr. and Mrs.Yost brought out this quote by Jeff, "I never seen this side of Yost before"! lol.. Amen Jeff, amen. Jamilee and Speez both did great on their speeches. Both made us laugh but at the same time showed a deep, personal side that showed just how close they were with Yost and Kalee. Ps. what was the deal with Yost's fingernails??? haha hahah hahah hhaha I had to! The reception was everything I expected and more! I really enjoyed seeing some old friends from high school. Nothing compares to the times we all shared together. Each person I talked to there, could easily make you laugh instantly. There were tears shed again, laughs heard over the music, and happiness all around! Honestly, nothing could top it! Everyone was having a blast! It was quite the weekend for everyone involved! I know Yost and Kalee have been thanking us all for being a part of their wedding, but I would like to thank them for ALLOWING us to be! It was truly an A+ wedding!!!!!!!

I guess it's time to get going, until the next episode, enjoy the week everyone!!!

#TeamLayla

The newest member of the DiMichele Family is my beautiful niece Layla. If you remember my past posts, I did a little description of each of my nieces and nephews and Layla wasn't born at the time so I'll do hers now.!! Hmmmm, where to start with this little princess? To be quite honest with you all, she SHOULD most definitely be a model of some sort. No BS either! I don't care what kind of model she will be but SOME COMPANY is MISSING OUT! Just look at the picture I posted, or the pics I have on FB/TWITTER! She's quite the little girl! Layla is a girl that will brighten up your day in an instant! I can't believe how happy she makes me....its ridiculous lol! She is quite the learner for her age (sorry, Layla is 16 months now) and as my little brother Nico just said to me, "She's a healthy young lad." Nico is strange ! lol.. She is a fan of Dora the Explorer/Sesame street/bubble guppies/and Mikey mouse clubhouse..She loves her some Minnie Mouse! My older sister Tasha BUYS Layla everything! lol.. She must have 30 pairs of shoes.. She has quite the wardrobe, always looking just right! She loves Gold fish! (she is big on saying the word FISHYYYYYYYYYY), you will have to hear it to understand just how cute it is. This little girl eats every kind of food there is and I kind of designated myself as the "Layla feeder". In my phone, I have over 500 pictures of her! She is extremely photogenic! I think she knows what she's doing too lol.. I'm so curious as to how she will sound when she starts talking..?? That's one thing I am always wondering when I hold her haha. HOPE SHE doesn't sound like a MAN! jk jk, I'll love her all the same even if she does end up having a deep deep deep manly voice! Layla is a unique little girl who blessed our family at the PERFECT TIME! Thank you Tanya (sister/Layla's Mom) for bringing her into this world!!! She is the perfect little rascal to compliment Isaiah/Ava/Giovanni/Nino! Those 5 together = PURE WILDNESS ..... Nico is rushing me to get off the computer so I will go for now. Hope you liked the little piece on Layla and you will be seeing more and more of her soon!!! S_m_D SO MANY DREAMS

I'm back...

What's goin on everyone??..

I haven't been on here in over 2 years and almost forgot my name/password/etc!! Luckily for me, my boy LV gave me the blogspot.com website and I found it!!.. Always could count on him! My brother Alex text me today and asked me to give him a link to the blog and that's the only reason I got back on here.. I just re read a few of my older posts and I had a blast with this and I'm glad to get back into it!! Let's see, what have I been up too?? I'll have to fill you in on everything that's been going on with me/my family/friends/football here in the next few posts!! Some things are progressing while others are at a stand still but I'm still plugging away!.. Have to really remember to take things one day at a time and continue to attack each day... I have to do this.!! We all have to attack n live each day as if it were our last! How could we not do that? Just picture if we knew we had only one year left in our lives, how different would it be from the way we are living now?? Crazy right?..

This weekend I'm in one of my best friends weddings!!! I can't wait to share their special day with them and the rest of our friends.. My buddies name is Mike Yost (we simply call him by his last name).. Yost and I have been friends since, well , since I was about 7 or 8 years old.. That's a long time ladies and gentlemen..lol.. Mike is as easy going as they come.. He is one of them guys who just goes about his business, and does what he needs to do to be successful and he won't stop until he reaches his goals! I admire that about him.. Yost is also secretly one of the funnier people I know.. He's always got jokes and remembers EVERYTHING as if it were yesterday! He definitely knows how to get under people's skin but at the same time means NO harm at all lol.. I think that is what we call the "Napoleon" complex!! Right??? Lol..i know he can't wait for this wedding to get here! 5 of us just went today to pick up our tuxes for Saturday, and we will be some good lookin fellas at that wedding!! Lol. My other good friend Speez is the best man in the wedding and he's about as nervous as they come about his speech he has to give! I heard most of it and it's going to be quite the speech! I'm sure he will do fine and everyone will enjoy it! My 2 friends Speez and Jeff are also in the wedding.. You could basically call us the "Wolfpack" lol.. We are all getting older/moving on with our lives but we still have that friendship/brotherhood that will never be broken!! Most people can't say that and I'm lucky enough to be one of them!..I'll be sure to post some pics from the weekend so u could see how things turned out!!! I can't wait.!! Haven't been in/to a wedding in a while and this one is sure to be a success!!. Ps. Speez and I beat Jeff and Yost 5 games to NONE in 2 on 2 basketball last week! Had to throw that one in there for y'all! Lol .. But imma get going, I'll be sure to talk more about my journey/Kalee (Yosts fiancée) / my family on the next post!!!

Remember to REMOVE ALL DOUBTS from your life!!
