presents, pizza, and DORA

Well, another busy weekend has come and gone!

I can't believe how fast these weeks are just flying by! WOW.... pretty soon it will be the week before and I won't know where all the time went!

Well, we had the Derks shower on Saturday morning.... what a great time! My aunts put together a wonderful shower for Matt and I. They had black and white with a little bit of red decorations, matching the color scheme of the wedding! The cake was beautiful with our monogram on it!!!!! And we got a lot of great stuff!!! Thanks to everyone that came.... we greatly appreciate it!

(patti, me, & melissa)

(esther, me, & trish)

(shan, becky, me, & vicki)

(trying to figure out the white substance)

(yeah, he's weird!) (my pops!)

Then after the shower, it was time to bring all the goodies over to matts!!! As much as i love to organize stuff, I'm kinda ready to be done organizing and re-organizing the extra bedroom. I have stuff stuffed underneath the bed and stacked along the sides of the bed..... haha! But I plan on taking a day and opening everything, going through matt's old stuff and our new stuff and weeding out what we don't need of his old stuff and cleaning out the cabinets and then ORGANIZING again!!! YIPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!

After organizing and resting a little bit... it was time to go out for pizza with Nicholas and Rachele. We went to Gino's East in Orland and then we went bowling. And I dont' want to GLOAT or anything, but I WON BOTH GAMES!!!!!!!!!!! Whoop Whoop!!! Haha... it was a fun night!!!

Then, Sunday (today) was our DORA b'day party for Mikayla (2) and Lydia (3).... it was nice to be with the fam again!

(I'm super excited! - Kyle)

So, that was our weekend in a nutshell..... hope everyone else had a great weekend too!

looking forward to this weekend....

SANFRATELLO's PIZZA.... YUMMMY!!!!!

Last night we went there with Matt's parents to book our rehearsal dinner! Man, it was good! I'm very excited that we found a place that will accommodate our decent sized group and we will get great tasting food!!! =) I know many people love Sanfratello's, but there is ONE PERSON in particular that LOOOOOVES their pizza and whenever she is in town has to eat there... so Aunt Jan... this... in a very small way, is for you too!!! Please eat as much Sanfratello's pizza as you can, because you're going to have to get your fill of it until the next time you come out!!! haha..... WE LOVE YOU and can't wait to see you and uncle randy again! =)

i'm so thankful that it is the weekend!!!! so far, i know it to be filled with "golf" (for matt), wrapping paper, tissue paper, boxes, girl talk, catching up, friends, family, organizing, unpacking, shopping, doing errands and much more!! I LOVE WEEKENDS LIKE THIS!!!!!

we have a lot going on this weekend, but we will still be able to spend some much needed (in my opinion, maybe not matt's) time together. saturday morning we have our DERKS shower... and i think it's safe to say, our biggest shower (good thing matt threw out his back this week, now me and my girls will have to show how strong we are with bringing presents to the car... haha!)

but then AFTER THE SHOWER, is the FUN PART.... bringing the stuff to matt's house, organizing it in the extra room and just "fantasizing" about where it will go/what to do with it, etc!!!!!!! Then Saturday night we have a pizza outing planned with our best man and his wife to GINO's EAST!!!! YUMMMY!!! (hey, nicholas, since i hear that you read our blog..... here is a little SHOUT OUT to you!!! haha).

Then Sunday, we have a DORA BIRTHDAY PARTY to go to for my niece's Mikayla & Lydia! Matt can't wait... he LOOOOOVES Dora.... but even more so, I think he likes BOOTS better! haha!

Hope you all have a great weekend.... just think, tomorrow, our wedding is 9 weeks away.... WHOA!!!!!
