here it comes! Andy and I are getting married in just 25 days. One questions I get a lot is, “So, are you ready?” I usually respond, “Do you mean, am I ready for the marriage or for the wedding?” I think Andy and I are ready for marriage. Whether we are ready for the …

Thanksgiving Day
Andy and I spent Thanksgiving Day in Coon Valley, Wisconsin with my the extended family on my mom’s side. It was lots of fun. In the evening, they had a shower for me and Andy. Andy’s parents even came to it. That’s where my relatives played a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad (but hilarious) …
Weekend Update
Lots of stuff transpired over the weekend. Here’s a summary: 1. Friday – Forbes Shower My dad’s side of the family threw a bridal shower for me. It was fun to see everyone. We played a game that would determine how well Andy knows me. At all the recent Forbes bridal showers the game was …
How We Really Met
I love my hometown of Litchfield, but one bad thing about that small town is that rumors swirl around quite fast. Apparently there is a rumor making its rounds about how Andy and I met at my sister and her husband’s wedding in June and were engaged three weeks later. Not true. I’m guessing that …
47 Days Remain!
Just 47 more days until our wedding. I lost count over the weekend. I thought there were 49 days left. I’m stressed, but that is nothing new. Andy is calm. We made some progress this weekend on our wedding plans. We got our engagement picture taken, we talked to the officiating pastor (my cousin’s husband) …
Happy Birthday, Andy!
Andy turned 27 years old on Friday, November 5th. I don’t think he was that excited to get a year older, but I kind of was. You see, until Friday, I was 28 while Andy was only 26. (I am a year and 3 months older than Andy.) Now that I’m still 28 and he …

Countdown Continues – Just 65 Days Remain
It is so hard to believe that in 65 days I’ll be a married woman. Crazy! But, don’t worry, it’s not the marriage I’m worried about. Rather, I’m worried about the event. I kind of freaked out today when my mom pointed out another person I forgot to include on the invitation list. Just last …

Pampered Chef Shower
On Saturday, Andy’s dad’s side of the family threw a Pampered Chef shower for us. Andy’s cousin’s husband started selling Pampered Chef products a couple months ago. Almost right after arriving, Andy and I were handcuffed together. We had to work together to make a dessert while handcuffed. I think I enjoyed the handcuffs more …
