Today at work in the break room there were some Fun Dips, remember those!! I loved them! Reminded me a little of being younger!!

Busy Bee

UPDATE: pics are here!








Hello! I have been super busy! The weekends are flying by and I don't like that!!
2 weekends ago I had a baby shower for my friend Amanda from Libery Mutual, it was fun to have all the girls over!! She is due one week before Abbey
Last weekend was Heather's first baby shower, she got a lot of good stuff!
Duke also got to meet his cousin Joleen, she is a boxer-5 months old, so cute!!
I'll have to post pictures this week.

This coming Saturday we get our engagement pictures taken, I am really excited!! It is not supposed to rain so yea!

I also got the invitations ordered last week so that was good, when they come in we will have to address them and they will have to go our right away!!

I still can't believe that the wedding is in less than 2 months now, but I am very excited for it!

This coming weekend I have the bridal shower from my mom, it will be a lot of fun!!
Then the next 3 or 4 weekends are showers for either Ginny or Heather and also Abbey's baby being born!! I can't wait for little Lexi to come into the world!!

Engagement Pictures

This Saturday we were supposed to get our engagement pictures taken, we are getting some inside and some outside, we are even taking the "kids"! But...it is supposed to rain all day Saturday...so I moved our apointment to the following Saturday, keep in mind this is the 3rd change I've had to make! If it is supposed to rain that day then we will just have to suck it up! If the weather changes and it doesn't rain this Saturday I may call and see if we can still get them done this Sat.

I still havn't ordered the invitations, I hope to get that done by this weekend though!

Puppy

UPDATE: The puppy has found a home!! Yea!

UPDATE:Ok, so this puppy is a mix of some kind, maybe with some shar pei in him?
But still very cute!





A friend at work is looking for a home for a 7 month old Shar Pei puppy, do you want him or know someone that does? Let me know!

SPRING!

Spring is here and I am so excited! I hate winter so I love it! I just hope the weather stays nice and only gets warmer!
I noticed that my plants are stating to get new growth, I love when there is some color in the landscaping.



Last night we were supposed to meet with the pastor but she had to postpone until next week. That was ok though. Justin left last night for a "pre" bachelor party weekend in Louisville. He went down with some friends to a truck show thing and DJ asked some more guys to meet them there for a fun weekend!

Wednesday night I had my first practice run wtih my hair for the wedding with Miranda, it was fun and I think now we know what we are doing so we are practicing again tonight! I love people playing with my hair so it sounded like a good idea.

Last night I ordered the cake topper and our sand ceremony set for the wedding. Next week its invitations and passports!

Happy Spring!

My first bridal shower!

I had my first bridal shower last weekend and it was so much fun!! It was a "stock the bar" shower so I got some great stuff for our new bar!!





The Bridal party, minus one...Jennifer couldn't make it since she lives in Denver!








We brought home about 25 bottles including wine, vodka, rum, scotch, martini mixes...
Some of the really cute names of wine I got were Mad Housewife, Big Tattoo White, Menage a trois, Funky Llama, Little Black Dress, Dog house, Bitch and Justin!! so fun

Friday the 13th...randoms

It is crazy how time is flying by! it is already the middle of March and the wedding is getting closer and closer! I am ready for all the planning to be done and the day to just be here already!!
I have my first bridal shower this weekend so that is exciting!! It is my "Reed" shower so family from Justin's dad's side.
Heather is also coming home this weekend so that is fun! She has only been in Indy for one week but I still miss her! I have had to find new people to go to kickboxing with but so far so good! I am even gonig to cycling class today after work by myself!
Abbey only has about 5 weeks until baby Lexi is here! That is crazy! I feel like we just found out she was pregnant.
I don't know if we are going to go out for St. Patrick's day or not yet, Justin thinks we are too old to go but I don't think so!
We have our first meeting with the pastor who is going to marry us next week so that will be interesting. I will find out if Duke can be a part of the wedding or not! I really hope so!
My mom FINALLY has a court date for her divorce and it's May 20th, of course right before the wedding but even more to celebrate! It will be 2 years in June that this has been going on, crazy how being married to someone for only 3 years could take 2 years to end, it has made me realize how screwed up the system is and how much people can get away with.
Thats about all I can think of for right now!
Looking forward to the weekend!!

Hospital Update

Colleen gets to go home from the hospital today! Her blood has thinned from yesterday to today. I don't know all the details of how they will monitor this or if she will have to go back and get it checked but I will find out later!

Time Zones

My fiend Anna at work was talking to one of her clients and was going to set up a call for later in the week. Anna asked the client what time zone she was on to make sure they set it for the right time...the client said that she was on the regular time zone...hmmm so Anna asked her ok, what time is it right now where you are...turns out the client is also on Eastern Time so I guess we are also on "regular" time!! Sorry about all you other time zones, you are not regular!!
Kayla is just so cute!! Of course I am biased since she is my niece but oh well! The other day she asked Abbey if Lexi had come out yet, that is just too cute! Of course she is obviously still in there!!
She is so smart too, my mom and I were talking about Lexi (That's what Abbey is naming the baby) and then Kayla chimed in and said its Alexia, which that will be her full name! She is so smart!!

Justin's mom, Colleen, is still in the hospital, so please say a prayer for her. She had surgery on Friday and everything was fine and then on Saturday morning she felt like she was having a heart attack and called 911, they found that she had a blood clot in her lung, not good. They have her on blood thinner to try to

Dogs, everyone needs one...or two

Dog people are so great! Today a co-worker got an email from a friend about these 2 dogs whos owners had lost their jobs and had to move from their home and could not take the dogs with them. They really wanted to find good home for the dogs that allowed the dogs to stay together, of course i really wanted to take them but I knew Justin would kill me...if only we had a fence, so I passed it along to some other dog lovers and within 30 min we got emails back from people who had already gotten the email from someone else and checked into it and they already have a home!!
A sad story with a good ending for the dogs!
