Focus on the Positive!

In the midst of sending MDK 65 different text messages about 30 different wedding topics (maybe a slight exaggeration...), he got a little overwhelmed and gave me a call. Being angry that I felt consumed by to-do's lists and that my groom was/is getting the easy road, I requested he be more aware of the to-do's. He then stated I was forgetting what this was about and was focusing only on the negative.

So with that I would like to point out the---POSITIVE...

• Supportive families...(I am getting help with painting and planting projects, ribbon projects, and the 200+ place cards..thanks :))
  
• Great friends! We will each have 6 supportive peeps by our side on the 9th and many more their in attendance to help us celebrate.
  
• We get one day to be glamorous mini-celebrities!!I have my practice hair and make-up last Saturday and I was feeling pretty fantastic when it was all done!
  
• I get super excited thinking about the feelings I will have as I walk down the aisle! We have decided to not see each other before the wedding.
  
• I get to be a wife and be loved forever by MDK...I suppose that is the big one!!
• And a new last name...LMK-- here I come!

Cheers to the memories to come over the next 10 days!

Have a Nice Day!

The 1 Month Mark

It has arrived...I am feeling overwhelmed.

Speedy Recovery Wishes

Hi Followers!

My post today is for my fantastic "almost" MIL (KAJ) as she just had open heart surgery yesterday. She was recently diagnosed with atrial myxoma after having a small stroke so they waited a few weeks before completing surgery. I have been receiving updates about her already awesome progress and she was moved out of ICU today. She has a great family and crazy supportive friends, so she has a lot of people pulling for her. Nonetheless, keep her in your thoughts as she is really hoping to make it out on the dance floor for a very special mother/son dance.

KAJ and I last summer

It is amazing how life can change ever so quickly, but we are thankful that things are moving in the right direction. I can't wait to be a new member of KAJ's family and look forward to helping her make a full recovery!

And always remember...
Have a Nice day!

2 Months Post CA

Yesterday was the 2 month mark since the move back from CA and I can't believe how fast time goes. Seems like that is just how things work as one ages, but I remember back in high school and dating someone for a month seemed like eternity. We are trying to find our place back in MN/WI, but in no particular order here are the things I miss-

1) Pilates! My classmates rocked and it was a great workout
2) Having a place of our own and the fire place :)
3) Having evenings with MDK
4) Working with people for a long enough time that I cared about them and they cared about me
5) Being close to Napa aka the Promised Land! Seriously, for those of you who haven't been...wine tastes better in California. It's weird, but it does!!
6) That CA sunshine
And to end on a positive...here are the things I am looking forward to---ya MAY! First up, is my very first bridal shower this Saturday with MDK's family. This one is a Pampered Chef shower and I am in love with all their great stuff. I will be sure to snap some pics and share. More showers follow with my family the 12th and then one with friends on the 19th! I want to be sure and enjoy these events and the company. I did decide as I was recapping what I missed in CA, that wedding planning has been easier and more manageable by living back home!!

Have a Nice Day!
