Venue

I found somewhere I like. 

Correction. 

KIM DUKE found somewhere I like. 

Actually I LOVE it. 

It's called "Cinema Ballroom"
The building used to be an old movie theater, and has been turned into a Ballroom and Salsa dance hall.

It is so awesome.

 Part of the balcony and Reception area- which will look VERY different.

Overlooking the Dance/ Reception floor

Receiving room/Kids room.

Of course the room will look completely different.

I love this place!

Dreaming of a white Christmas

 2010 tree.

Red/silver



 I know its not even Thanksgiving yet, but I frankly don't care.

 I love Christmas and I want to be able to enjoy it as long as possible.

 I wish I had more decorations, but in time I will.

 And, it can snow now. 

 I mean really snow.

 But just once. 

 I have Christmas off this year!

 I better not be sick.

 Last year I had to work, and ended up having to call in sick.

 Christmas with the Meisters was not very enjoyable for me last year.

 I hardly remember it.

 This year better be more enjoyable.

 I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and get to spend it with those you love.

Wedding Blues

 So. Who wants to plan our wedding?! You 
 can for free!!

I don't like the decisions I have to make
 right now.

I don't want to have to weed through a thousand venues to find one that is a decent
 price,

 AND what I am looking for.

 I don't want to choose the colors, I don't 
 want to choose the center pieces.

 I want to look at photos and say "yes,
 that's what I want, make it happen".

 Where is a free designer when I need one?

 And I want Michael Buble to sing at
 my wedding.

For free.

I'll never stop loving you

                                                    Before                    &               After

I love this ring.

He is so amazing, and did such and amazing job.

The change was slight but made a world of difference.

No more ripped gloves.

No more scratches... well sometimes. 

No more not having it.

It's all mine.

so there yah go.

and no,

there is STILL no date set.

October 2, 2010 ♥ 8 years

It was such a beautiful day, warm when the sun was out.

 Once again, I had to have Andrew explain things.

 Twins Won!

 After the game we tried to figure out what we wanted to do. Since we ate at the game, we decided food was not next. Instead we went to a park near the cities called "Wirth Park" where we went hiking for an hour or so. Inside Wirth Park is a place called "Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden". Inside we walked around enjoying the fall colors.

 The sign outside the gate of the wild flower gardens, I thought it was hilarious.

And

Last

but not

least.

While we were in the gardens I got this.

We stopped to sit on the only bench that was in the sun, and chatted about where we should have dinner.

Then he turned to me, and said "I know you have been waiting for this for a long time, I would get down on one knee, but its muddy" , "Will you Marry Me?"

I said yes, of course!

 Beautiful isn't it!





Andrew designed it, and did an amazing job. I love it.

The only problem is, the prongs on the outside that make such a beautiful design on the side rip my gloves at work, and scratch people. Including myself.

Friday I give the ring back to D.J. Bitzan so they can fix that little problem.

It has a slight euro shank band which makes it spin on the finger less.

I love it.

There is no date set.

Dream a little dream

Yep, we are going again!

We have been talking about what to do for our anniversary for a while now, and could not come up with anything. We really wanted to go to Taylor's Falls, but the weather probably wont cooperate with us at all.

We thought about the Renaissance Festival, but we have been there before.

We have not been to the new TWINS stadium, and when we move we may not be able to go.

So, if you have or know of where to get cheap tickets let me know!

 

*~*~*~*~*~*

 

AND a VERY Happy Birthday to my beautiful nieces!

Andrina, I cannot believe you are 5! You are such a joy and so fun to be around

Nelyana, 3! I can't believe you are getting so big so fast! Please stay little. It seems that because you are so far away you grow so much faster.  

Zaniyah, woo hoo! Your 1! But, same to you.  Please, for me just stay that way. You are too cute! And too far away.

And to all three of you:

I am so lucky to be your auntie. I love showing everyone that will look pictures I have of you. You all have such amazing personalities and I can't wait until I can see you all again.. Hopefully all at the same time!

Please stay little.

Love, Auntie Audrey.

Fair

Once again Andrew and I went to the state fair.

We figured it may be one of the last ones we get to go to since he is having to look for a job out of state.

The day we went was perfect. The morning was a little breezy and it warmed up to a good temp by the after noon. I think we were there for 9 hours-which was a major accomplishment considering I was still gimping around, and Andrew had pinched a nerve in his back the night before.

I don't think I could ever get tired of the state fair. I LOVE the people watching, and the awful-for-you-but-so-good food. My goal this year was to actually eat something from a stick. Did I? Nope! I was going to get in line, but it was a long long line. And I just settled for something else. I can't quite remember everything we ate there, but we did come home with an awesome handmade vase from Poland-on sale- because that's how I shop!

After walking for hours we decided to sit for a while in the arena. Stinky. I wanted to see a horse show, but we were not sure if we came on the wrong day, and we didn't want to sit through the stinky cow part. We sat for as long as we could, and left. People came in there eating and drinking. EWW. The smell that fills that place is FLOATING COW POOP. And your eating it.

YUM.

This is what happens every time we get into the car, however long/short the drive.

He is kinda like a baby, in the sense that if I want him to nap, I put him in the passenger seat and go for a drive. I think he has even fallen asleep on the way to the grocery store.

I love that boy.

By the time we got home my feet were soo dirty. I wore my lovely comfortable Chacos (if you don't have a pair you are truly missing out) and I think my feet attracted all the dirt from the fair.

I hope we are here next year to go, if not wherever we move better have something on a stick!
