5 Months 28 Days 11 Hours

I have lots to do, and not a lot of motivation. There are lots of decision, details and money that has to happen in the next little bit. 5 months is not a long time at all. Heck 5 months ago we got engaged and that seems like just yesterday. I'm freaking out just a bit. I have a guest list made up, hopefully no one was forgotten. Invitations have to be made and sent out pretty soon, and I have not even started. When does it start to get warm? Because we still have to take engagement pictures and Andrew doesn't do well with taking pictures in the cold, we tried. I need to win the lottery.
The night shift is kicking my butt. Mostly on my days off. Don't get me wrong, I really like not having to be at work every single day, but my sleep schedule needs overhauling. I should have gotten up today at like noon so I could sleep at night, but I didn't. I dragged myself out of bed at 3:40 and now I am wide awake at 4:20 AM. Sick. Really I should be scouring over websites for caterers, Photographers, Florists, and trying to find somewhere to do our invites through. Procrastination. I am a pro. Too bad this is one thing that will go very badly if I do just procrastinate. I need a game plan, or a free wedding planner. Where is David Tutera when I need him?

So long, I am off to plan a wedding.

And these, well they are for my enjoyment.
But you can enjoy them as well.

It's official! We have a date!!

After searching a million places online, picking a handful that met our criteria, and then numerous trips to the cities to look at venues ( hold onto your britches here..) we have finally decided on a date AND a place. Shocked the pants right off me I can assure you that! It all happened within minutes. About a week ago i had emailed the coordinator for the venue inquiring about some dates that were available. And as of today had still not heard back from her. A little annoyed i called and asked to whoever i was talking to to just tell me. I got three dates, looked at what worked for us, and picked! Literally all happened within about 10 minutes, which if you know me, is very rare. I hate deciding on things.


Are you ready?


Save this date! Black it out! Don't allow anything else to happen on that day. Ok?


The date is:
Saturday, July 30,2011

The venue: Cinema Ballroom in St. Paul mn! Be there!!

A change.

I'm a sap for the tear jerking chick flicks.
Not just for the love story.
But for what it reminds me.

Life is short, and oh so precious.

True Love is stronger than anything, intense and everlasting.

Remember only the good.



I feel like I should watch these types of movies everyday, at least one. So as to remind myself that I should be living in the moment, enjoying every second, and everyone in it. I know.. it sounds so cheesy, and unrealistic. But what else is there? What is the point of having a bad day? What's the point in trying to have more than someone else, to be better then them.

My goal this year is to find good in everyday, and to focus on that. To not say or dwell on the negative thoughts or feelings. To find love in everything.

Life is so very precious and can change in an instant.. And I for one no longer want regrets.

Wishing, and hoping, and dreaming, and praying...

I wish my dear Meister was home tonight.
Then I would be able to show him all the things I bought today for the wedding...
 well the bridesmaids.
He could also help me pack. 
But most of all. I could see him.

I hate his overnight shifts.

Opie's is 1!


Baby Opie 

Big girl Opie!

 

Call me lame, or crazy, I really don't care. 

 I made a cake for Opie's 1st birthday! 

Technically her birthday is tomorrow (12/10/2010), but Andrew and I work
so we celebrated today!

 I found this really awesome recipe online and they gobbled it up!

I carved the 1 from a carrot! And enjoyed every minute of it!


It smelled so very good, but I was not about to try it!

*****

And of course I bought them stockings!
Andrew and I don't really do our own stockings yet, even though I REALLY want to. 
So I spoiled my dogs. 
Get over it. You know you wish you were so lucky.


Please oh Please!

Dear Michael Buble,


Please come sing at my wedding.

For free.


Love,
 Audrey
