A Few Wedding Photos

Honeymoon Days 1 through 4

Days one through four on our honeymoon have been great! Here is a short little summary of each day:
Day 0: Tuesday was spent flying to London. The highlight of our flight was the movie and getting free wine. We slept for most of the flight and woke up in London at 7:30 am the next day.
Day 1: We attempted to get acclimated to our new surroundings. We enjoyed touring West Minster Abbey and making our dinner at our little apartment.





Day 2: We went on the London Eye, which is like a giant ferris wheel, a boat ride up the Thames River, and watched tennis at Wimbledon.
Day 3: We got up early and left for Paris on the chunnel which is an underground train connecting London to Paris under the English Channel. Once we arrived in Paris we toured the art museum, the Louvre. You could spend days exploring all the art there! We did see the Mona Lisa!!



Day 4: We slept in a little late, hopefully we're getting adjusted to the times here. We picked up our museum passes which gave us free passes for the double-decker tour buses that go throughout the city. We enjoyed the bus which took us near the Eiffel tower. We had a champagne cruise to enjoy on the Seine River and then we hiked up the many, many, many steps to the first and second levels of the Eiffel tower. We were a little winded when we were done but the view was very nice! After that, we deciphered the puzzle that is the Metro back to our apartment. We had to switch different lines a few times and attempt to translate french with our high school Spanish and high school German backgrounds, but we made it back.

Every time we master the mass transit in the different cities we feel like we have cracked the code for getting around the city.

Alright, well I better go to bed. More updates to come later!

two months!

Holy cow, the big day is only 2 months away! I can't believe it! I had my bridal shower on Saturday and it was a great time!! Lots of family and friends! I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by so many wonderful people. Nick unpacked a bunch of our gifts last night, I've been busy working on a research paper and applying for jobs.



We've already put a few of our gifts to good use. We made waffles in our new waffle maker and then make bacon and eggs on our new griddle. We also made coffee in our new coffee maker! We've washed our new silverware and put a few of the new pyrex containers to good use. We are so blessed in so many different ways! Here are a few fun pictures from the day:







Lots of love!

Lots of Updates!

Hi!
Here is a quick list of updates related to the wedding plans:

1. a block of rooms has been booked at the hotel. book a room soon to lock in the awesome rate!
2. we booked a DJ!
3. we finished our pre-marital meetings with our Pastor.
4. we bought some of the glassware for candles and flower for the centerpieces. (we'll borrow the rest from friends)
5. we booked chairs for the ceremony site.
6. we booked a salon to style everyone's hair on the big day.
7. we have taken care of several other little details that will hopefully make the day just that more special.

I have been working hard to be a good deal finder! I called 20 dj's to find a good price and a good person. :) My mom and I called 15 salons and then visited 3 in person to find a good fit. We're working hard to save money, and I think we're succeeding!

OH yea! We also booked our flight for the honeymoon. London and the rest of Europe, here we come!!

Here is a picture of the Table Number and Letters that I have/will cover in yarn.

200 days! what what!

200 days my friends! Ahhh how wonderful!! I've been busy with school work for my kiddos. Grading papers and lesson planning has been taking up the bulk of my time. Hopefully we can find some time this weekend to get our DJ stuff taken care of. :)

With 6 months and a couple of weeks left we better get going on our "to - do" list. As for now....it's back to making a worksheet for my students.

206

Well, we have 206 days until our big day! We haven't done much planning for the wedding lately. Now that we live in Wisconsin many of our weekends are spent packing up the car for a road trip to visit our parents. We love the time together but the "to do" list seems to be much longer than ever before.

As we move closer to the wedding (yes it's 6 months away) I find myself having more wedding dreams where we are not prepared.....I also seem to have more nervous thoughts. I just want this occasion to be a really beautiful celebration! I find myself worrying about which flowers to pick, the reception site, the price for the block of rooms, the chairs, and every other stupid detail you can think of.

Yes, I know it will all work out and it's not all about the wedding. Duh, the marriage is way more important!!!!!!

Wanna see the flower girl dress pattern?? My cousin Jenny is making the dresses. It helps that her daughter, Ava, is one of the flower girls. I really love these dresses and feel confident that they will look great.





The dresses will be white satin, the style will be kind of like D, E, and F. No sleeves and the jade colored sash around the waste. They will look so cute!

Okay, talking about something that is already great about the wedding is making me feel much better!

Time to get back to grading papers!

Sending love to family and friends!!
