Art Fair on the Square

Every year Madison Wisconsin has an Art Fair and it's held downtown on the square. Andy and I went down to stroll around and look at expensive art. All different vendors from across the state come and share their talent. While we were down town at the capital we had the chance to go inside the state capital and go up to the observation deck. I have posted some pictures . I guess they also have tours to and maybe some time I will go do that...

4th of July Pictures

Wow so many posts!!!

Your probably wondering why I'm posting so much, well that's because I'm sitting at work on a Saturday after the 4th of July and there isn't anything to do. I have done word searches to surfing the Internet. There is some filing that could be done but at the same time , if I do it all today I won't have it for next week. The time isn't flying by fast enough here at work that's for sure.

Summer Television

I"m amazed at how many shows this summer are actually decent. I've been watching America Got Talent, Hopkins, The Baby Borrowers,and soon will be watching Big Brother. There is some really good talents in the states this year on America's Got Talent. I would love to try out for the show but I think I would be to chicken.. The Baby Borrowers is just not right. They say it's a form of birth control for kids. And I would have to say it's working maybe... Has anyone seen any of these shows yet?

Golf Lessons!!!!!

I have started to enjoy golf and watching golf more and more. When we out for dinner on my birthday Allison was talking about golf and I didn't understand all the different clubs, irons, wedges, and driver. So I was talking with Andy and I said I really want to go and get a book on golf so I can understand it, and he said you need golf clubs first. So this Sunday he's going to take me to Dick's Sporting Goods and were going to look at golf clubs for me.. I'm really kind of excited that way I can go play some golf with him. I won't be as good as him but oh well. Maybe I will go sign up for golf lessons...

Chicken Soup for the Soul Couples

I just recently bought a new book to read. I went to Barnes and Noble and spend an hour and half in the store just looking at books. There is anything and everything that you could possibly want. I wanted something about couples and yet romantic. So I was looking for a good book that had both of those things in it... I came across a lot of different one's and I bought Chicken Soup for the Soul Couples version. If you don't know anything about these books they talk about love, sex, communication, trust, family, and other topics but they are all inspirational stories... So I started to read this book and the first story I read was a really cute idea. Create a flower day with your husband and every month on that day you give flowers to your wife no matter what. So the story I was reading, her husband has passed away but one of his wishes was that their neighbor carry on the tradition for him . Give his wife flowers still... It was a really cute idea and it doesn't have to be flowers it could be something else. Create a special day with your spouse.

July 4th

Happy 4th of July!!!! Andy and I celebrated the 4th of July here in Madison. His family has a big cookout and there fire works right down the street from where they live. It's always nice to see family and friends and play games and eat tons of food. I have tons of pictures to post but can't right now. So I will be posting them later. Hope everyone had a good 4th of July!!!!!

July 2nd

Well I had my 26th birthday... Nothing really changed though, just another number. Andy bought me my first card that has the word WIFE on it.. To my wonderful wife I think it said... LOL !! It's still funny hearing the words wife and husband. My wife, my husband..... Anyways though Andy and I and some friends of our went out to dinner. We went to Joey's seafood... YUMMY!!!! I share my birthday with my brother Todd and I called him to wish him a Happy Birthday too. It's pretty cool to share that special day together. He's older than I am though. Then my older sisters birthday is coming up too in July... Lots of family birthdays in July.

The Kung Fo Panda

Saturday Andy's parents and I took Kris to see the Kung Fo Panda Movie at the IMAX. I have never been to the Imax theater. Pretty cool place. It was definitely a cute movie but not one I would buy when it comes out. But it was something fun and different to do on a Saturday night. Andy had to work that night so it got me out of the house too. You all should take your kids to it.

Mallards Game

Friday the 6th Andy and I went to the Madison Mallards Baseball game. His parents are hosting one of the players so they have season tickets like they did last year. This year our player is from North Carolina. His name is Rob. His parents have really good seats too. They play here all summer off and on. So it's just something fun to go do and enjoy.

Wedding News

Well as you all know we have been planning a wedding. It finally happen on May 17Th 2008. I"m now Mrs. Poole , I can't believe it. We have lots of pictures to post and show. We had a great rehearsal dinner that was a lot of fun and then the reception was also a lot of fun too. A very special day in my life! If any of you are family members have some pictures to share please email them to me. I would love to see them. I will be posting the pictures very soon.

You've Got Mail!!!!

This past weekend I received a card in the mail and guess who it was addressed to? Sunni Poole. My first piece of mail with my new name on it... I couldn't believe it. I don't think the person who sent it meant to but that's OK. It was pretty exciting to see that.

Is it time yet?

It feels as if just yesterday we were starting to plan our wedding. But that's not the case anymore. We have 6 days till the big day. Can you believe it.... I would say we are all set and just looking for a perfect day. Though I hear we are going to have a 40% showers on Saturday. So please cross your fingers and hope it doesn't rain. I"m really looking forward to seeing all of the family. My older sister Shelby is coming and I haven't seen her and my niece for almost 2 years I think it is. Crazy I know... Someday I think she's going to move back home. Anyways though I hope to get some good pics of the family. I'm already thinking about Christmas this year and how many pictures I will have to put in the famous scrapbook calendar. I may have to make two.. Well off to shop for last minute things for next weekend... Can't wait to see all of you..

Marriage

Yesterday Andy came and picked me up for lunch and we went to the state clerks office to apply for our marriage license. It's expensive to get just a piece of paper that states your married. Why is it that some states are cheaper then others? Everything went good. Later on after dinner we met with the Pastor Billings. The last time we met with him, he gave me a weird vibe. This time not so much. He was nicer and a little more talkative. Though he tended to put us on the spot on some of the questions. We had to take this couples personality test the first time we met him and so we reviewed our scores. Not to shabby. But then again we don't know what it's based off . Anyways though it was a good meeting . The rehearsal is set and so is the wedding... Only 22 days left till the big day...

My Hair for the Wedding

Last night I went and had my hair done as a trial for the wedding. That was a lot of fun too, it's fun having everyone stare at you and wonder why their having their hair done. I do recommend that when you get married or you are going to a big fancy event that you kind of know what you want them to do. I took a few pictures with me of what I wanted and he came up with something really cute and elegant I would have to say. I can post all the pictures because I know that Andy reads my blog and I would like it to be a surprise of what I look like on my special day. So everyone will have to wait to see the final .

The little girl

I sometimes wonder why cats will cuddle with one person but not the other... What are they thinking mmmm..... Bailey always cuddles with Andy and Maggie always tends to cuddle up with me. I always say that Bailey is a daddy's girl and Maggie is becoming a daddy's girl... I said to Andy that we need to get another cat so that they cuddle with me. Nah just kidding.. Maggie always cuddles up on my feet in the middle of the night to keep me warm. And they both are my alarm clock when it's time to get up. Cats... They are funny animals....
