Okay, now there are only 79 days until the big day. In other words, 11 weekends left. And there is still so much to do! We are pushing to get invitations filled out this weekend. My sister will be in town to help and I think Andy’s mom is planning to help. Andy and I …

87 Days until January 1, 2005!
It is so hard to believe that in 87 days I’ll be Andy’s wife and he’ll be my husband. I had a strong feeling that our 5-month engagement period would fly by and I was right. In addition to counting the days until our wedding, I have also started counting the weekends until our wedding …
Flying High
I was planning to do a detailed post about my experience flying with Andy last weekend, but then I was reading his blog (echozoe.com) and I realized that he had already done the work for me. Here is what Andy had to say about flying together: I had another flight lesson this week, something I’ve …
BWCA
A group of us (Andy, me, Andy’s brother, my cousin, my sister, my sister’s husband and my sister’s husband’s brother) went to the Boundary Waters. We had just two canoes for 7 people. Katie and her husband (Phil) own a 2-man canoe. They rode in that canoe along with Phil’s brother. The rest of us …
Forgive My Lies
Andy is such a sweet darling. He wrote the list below of lies he had told me to keep the proposal a secret. He gave me the list of lies right after he proposed to me. A list of lies and deceptions I told you in order to preserve the surprise of an engagement and …
Yes!!!!
We’re engaged! Here’s the story: I sort of was expecting a proposal in the next few weeks, but I didn’t think it would be today. So, I took the bus home from work. Andy had beaten me to my house and met me at my bus stop with flowers. (We hadn’t seen each other since …
Wanting a Mate, not a Date
Before meeting Andy, people would tell me stuff like: “You’ve got to get out more!” “You need to get a life!” “You’ll never get married if you don’t date!” “Husbands don’t just drop out of the sky!” You see I was sort of planning on waiting until I found the guy I was supposed to …
Love Languages
Someone has written a book about 5 love languages (ways in which love is expressed). I haven’t read the book, but I did memorize the list of the languages. Those 5 languages are: (1) acts of service; (2) words of affirmation; (3) physical touch; (4) quality time; and (5) gifts. Andy and I talked early …
Jessica’s Journal
I have kept a journal since I was in 2nd grade. I don’t write everyday. I don’t write every week. Sometimes I don’t write for several weeks or months. It depends on my mood. But, still, I happen to have almost finished filling the pages of my 22nd journal. I like reading what I wrote …
What We Talk About
If you have ever tried calling Andy or me on a weeknight between the hours of 7 and 10, chances are that you got the busy signal. Since Andy and I live an hour apart (I live in the cities and he lives in St. Cloud), we spend most of our free time at night …
