Were Done!

Andy and I finished up all of our registry lists. We have registered at Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Linen and Things. All these places have a great selction of things so it was kind of hard to choose. Andy would do all the scanning the bar codes in. Sometimes he would wander off and put something on the list that I didn't know about. I later then found out. But I said he could leave it on there. Let me know if you can figure out what it is. Can't wait to see everyone at the wedding.

Dentist- Enough Said

It's seems that I have been at the dentist a lot lately. To top it off I had work done this morning and my whole right side of my cheek went numb. I had work done on my teeth at 7:40 and here it's 4:30 and it still hurts. I really dislike going to the dentist but I guess I have to. One more appointment and I'm home free from the dentist till July. HOORAY!!!!!

Wedding Ring

On Friday the 18th , Andy and I decided to go to TQ Diamonds, this is where he purchased my wedding ring at. However my ring doesn't have a band that matches so we went in and looked at our options. Andy found the ring he wants and me, I have an idea. We are going to custom make my ring to match my wedding ring. I have to take it this week and they are going to keep it for 3-4 days . So I'm getting excited about getting our wedding bands done too. It's the price that's not going to be fun to pay.

This past week!

This past weekend I had some fun. I didn't have to work last Saturday so I went shopping... Andy had a bowling tournament that day and so his mom and I went shopping for wedding shoes for her dress. We weren't able to find any but we did find jewelry for her to wear. It's very pretty I might add. We continued to shop all over town for shoes but we didn't find anything. Maybe towards spring time she will find some. Anyways though I happen to be in some store and bought my bridesmaids gifts. Though I can't tell anyone what it is, It has to be a surprise.. But I'm glad I got that out of the way. One less thing I have to do . The girls will have to see what they get, I hope they like it..

Wedding dress fitting

Saturday morning I woke up and met my mom and john at the hotel. They were finishing eating breakfast and we were just chatting. Nor did I know that it was to snow that day. I think my mom hates the snow after being here in Madison. It just keeps snowing and snowing. Over 45 inches this winter so far. Anyways me and my mom and Andy's mom all went to Davids Bridal. I had to wait awhile before I could go have my fitting so Carrie and my mom went and looked at Mother of bride/groom dresses. Turns out they both found one that they really liked and they both look good in them. So it was time for me to go put my dress on for the fitting. I still fit which was a good thing. They are going to have it altered and cleaned for me by Feb. I was impressed how fast I would get it back. Then it was time to see mom and John leave. They had to get back for my grandpa's birthday. But they will be back soon enough.

Mom was here!

I haven't been a good girl lately when it comes to updating my blog so here are a few new things going on. Mom and John came up on Friday the 11Th to visit Andy and I. Mainly because I wanted mom to come with me as I went to try my wedding dress on. Anyways though Friday night we went to Joey's seafood restaurant and it was good, but it took them awhile to seat us. But we got 2 free appetizers out of it. Then we went back to parktowne and had a drink and then home. I had a big day on Saturday. It was a lot of fun having them come and visit.

Healthy Teeth

Nothing like going to the dentist to have your teeth cleaned. I really don't care for the dentist but I know have to go. So I went in and they said I get a smiley face for having great teeth . I was really thrilled with that... But now I have two more appointments because they want to take out some old fillings that I have had since I was a kid and replaced them with new ones. Rather have healthy teeth then not.

Wisconsin vs. Illinois

Last night Andy and I had tickets to the Wisconsin vs. Illinois basketball game. One of my co-workers had tickets that he wasn't going to be using. So we went and watched the game. It was a pretty good game. Illinois struggled a little but the played hard. It was kind of cool seeing Michael Jordan's son sitting there. He is going to play the Illini sometime. Anyways though the game ended up being like 70-60 or so. Maybe the next time they will win.

Clean Clothes and Towels

Wednesday night Andy and I went to the grocery store to do our weekly shopping. Though it last more then a week . It's amazing how much money you spend on food. I don't see how family with 6-7 kids could spend all that money. Never will I have 6 or 7 kids... Our two cats are already expensive. Anyways though so after we got home I did a load of laundry and it was all the towels. Andy always makes fun of me when I do laundry because I always end up doing something the wrong way. For instance, putting to much in at one time or when I'm putting them in the dryer , putting to many dryer sheets in. So I told him from now on you can do the laundry. You should see what happens when I wash the clothes and hang those up. They have to be in order. It's very funny ... So from now on, if there is laundry I will either do it when he's not at home or he can... LOL

Guess whose coming to Madison?

I"m so excited this weekend my mom is coming. I haven't seen her since September. I had the chance to go home during Christmas but with the weather here it wasn't safe to drive. They are coming up Friday night and were all going out to dinner. I think I'm going to take them to a little place called Joey's. It's a seafood ! Saturday were all waking up and going to David's Bridal for my first dress fitting. I hope I still fit in it! I think I will be fine, but from now till the wedding I will have to watch what I eat. I'm starting to get more and more excited about the wedding! Not to much longer! Can't wait to see you this weekend MOM! Love you!

New Music

Tonight I went online to read one of my friends' blog and I noticed that they had music on theirs. I was very interested in learning how they did so. So I research it out and I decided to put some country music on my blog. There's a little country, classical piano, and a few fun songs. I hope you enjoy. If you can think of any good songs that you would like to hear let me know and I will try to add them.

Gift Registry

Last night Andy and I decided to go to Target! While we were there we went up and down all the merchandise, Andy had in one hand a scan gun and the other rubbing his eye. Yep we did it, went and registered at Target for the wedding. This is just one store that we will be doing. But if you would like a jump start, log on to Target.com and look our names up. There are some good things on there and some that are just to funny. But we will see!

Bowl Games

Today is one of the biggest days for football. I never really got into college football, but this year and last I did. I think that's because Andy likes football. Anyways though I was happy to see that Illinois made it to the Rose Bowl, however they didn't do so good. But they haven't been to a bowl game for 23 years or something like that. Kind of crazy.




Andy enjoys watching Michigan and Florida, however today in the Capital one Bowl game they had to play each other . That was a pretty good game to watch, and it would also Lou Carr last game to coach at Michigan. And he went out with a bang since Michigan won.

Also played today was Tennessee vs. Wisconsin. That was a close game but it came to the last touch down by Tenn that gave them the chance to win. Wisconsin had a good year though.

Now it's on to finish watching Hockey and the start of watching Basketball. But I don't think I will be watching to much TV since we have a wedding coming up.

Engagement Pictures

These are some of our engagement pictures!

Happy New Years !

Happy New Years!

This new years Andy and I decided that we would go out rather then staying home. So we called two of our wedding party members and went out to dinner with them. We had a prime rib dinner that was really good and none of us could finish it. We ended up hanging out there the whole night and then some others showed up later. All around it was a fun night. Back to work though on Wednesday. It really messes up your work week when you have a day off in between the week. OH well though they say it's to get up in the 50 this weekend maybe. That will be nice.

The count down begins to the wedding. Less then 5 months away, I can't believe it. I have my first dress fitting next week. I"m looking forward to it but at the same time, I hope I still fit in it. I"m sure I will. Just have to watch what I eat from here on out...

I think all the girls in the wedding party have their dresses ordered now which is a good thing. I"m so excited to see how they all look.

Everyone have a wonderful rest of the week.
