welp, it's been quite a while since i wrote on here.... and the reason for that is because time is just FLYING BY. we have had some weeks where we see each other quite often, but lately, matt has been having to be out of town a couple of nights during the week. the weekends have been filled with different stuff.... wedding stuff, a date night, oktoberfest in grant park and being with family.
last weekend we saw the movie "FIREPROOF".... everyone should go see that... it is an amazing movie out in the theater about marriage, our relationship with God in context of our marriages and God's love for us and our love for Him. It was great and i recommend it to ANYONE.... single, dating, married.... everyone..... it's great!
last weekend we also had bud's 23rd b'day party. and also my mom, dad, matt and i trekked downtown to go take some photos that we are going to need for the wedding.
this past weekend we had oktoberfest all weekend.... we saw a lot of people we haven't seen in awhile.... watched a lights parade, saw some fireworks, got a little chilly and then warmed up at the beer garden! =)
as far as the wedding planning and all that comes along with the party that is going to happen... we have made some progress. all the favors are put together, ready to go to the reception hall. (my mom organized a night were all the girls that could, came over for dinner and helped us put the favors together, stuffing and tying bows!!! what a fun, relaxing night of food & friends!). then also the programs are printed- ready for assembly, place cards are coming along slowly (i'm not going to totally give away what we are doing with those....), i had my final dress fitting, i had my trial hair & makeup done and am very excited about all that... all the little details seem to be a continuous flow of thought, but i don't think that will stop until the day before the wedding! ;-)
everyone keeps asking if we're ready... are we getting nervous? my response to that is..... "We're ready to have it tomorrow......" The driving back and forth, the planning, we've had our fun of that... but now it's time to move on to something different. Something MUCH BETTER!! =) we are VERY EXCITED about our honeymoon and going on vacation together. some of you may know, some may not... but matt and i are going to HAWAII for our honeymoon. we are so super excited at the chance to go there and just soak up that hawaiian sun! we have a helicopter ride booked, a luau bought for us (by my wonderful attendants!!!!) and just a HUGE amount of stuff to choose from to do..... well, besides, just lying around on the beach and enjoying each other's company. i am looking forward to actually reading a WHOLE book.... something i have missed doing for a very long time.
this weekend will also be busy.... but a good busy!!! friday night matt and i will get to have our last DATE NIGHT before we are actually husband and wife!!!!!! so dinner & a movie sound great to me!!!!! matt's bachelor party is saturday.... i'm sure all the guys will have fun doing their thing! and while matt is out with the boys, i have a wedding of a college friend to go to!
i'm sure I just probably bored you with dumb details, but right now... it's kinda crunch time and i'm feeling that the only stinken thing i can think about is the wedding..... it will be nice to be able to not have to think of the next detail i have to make sure is put together!! =)
1.5-ish weeks and counting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PARTY! Ash & Becca put together an awesome Hawaiian themed party!!!!! We started out at Becca's and then the party bus picked us up to go for pizza and then out to Norridge to go blacklight mini-golfing (maybe more photos to come! i don't have photos from everyone that took 'em!)
2 photos..... (one is the RIDE-ON Fire Truck me, matt, & bud gave him.... and the other is a photo of him not wanting to eat his cake after matt & bud forced his hands into the cake!)
