Saturday, December 11th was my mom’s birthday. I will not say how old she is because of my respect for my elders. But, I will give one hint – she is at least 2 times older than me and I am 28. On my mom’s birthday, we baked Christmas cookies. Poor Andy doesn’t like peanut …

Ready or Not . . .
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) …

Comments
I’ve been getting a lot of spam in the comments for my main blog, and had to close off the commenting on all posts older than 20 days. It carried over to this blog as well, even though I haven’t gotten any spam on this one yet. We love comments, but can’t keep them open …
Why January 1st?
Many people have asked us why we choose to get married on January 1st. To be honest, I’m not exactly sure how we arrived there, but I do know that it was the very first decision we made relating to the wedding. We decided firmly on January 1st before we had a pastor and before …
