Good Morning! I just boarded my flight as I have started to travel to the Chicagoland area for work. It's a quick flight, but I forgot about all the travel ish...lines, airports, rental cars, etc. So the transitions continue to weigh heavy.
Some highlights none the less- wedding is in 2 months, invites are proofed, and will be printed this week! I am loving how they turned out and thanks to my MOH- KMC, she helped address the envelopes. With my travel now I won't get to see a lot of the wedding stuff until the weekends so starts the anticipation! My helpful parents are getting ready for a mini-construction project...think waist tall candle stands- so I will get to see those one of these weekends too.
We have continued to see lots of friends and spend time back in the MPLS. We have started the "house hunt"...boy- all of that will come in another post on a day when I wasn't up at 4:30 AM. Yes, me before 8:00 AM...just glad MDK drove me to the airport as it is fun to get that time together before being apart for the 4 days.
Thanks for reading! Have a Nice Day!

An Update from the almost....K's!
Hello Followers!
Sorry for the delayed update on the recent move...but as you can imagine I think I could sum up the last few weeks in one word- TRANSITIONS! MDK, his dad, and Valentina arrived back to MN at the end of February. They experienced all good travel, but a bit of a snow storm on the last leg. I was back on March 1st and we tried to get settled in. Here is a pic of me and my new roomie little EAT (he grew a lot since I saw him in December!!)--
We are trying to get back in the swing of things and thank goodness the weather has actually been pretty nice around here for March. I am currently awaiting my next project and that has provided me the opportunity to use evenings to get ahead on wedding goodies. I have supplemented my pilates at studio near my new digs and also, dropped in for a few Barre Burn classes! We are loving being back with our friends and I am going to make a point of taking more pictures when we go out to keep a record of our fun :)
GREAT NEWS on one thing we had on the to do list from the last post...honeymoon! ARUBA is our destination and we are planning to leave the Monday after the wedding until Sunday. Sun and relaxation here we come!
Other wedding stuff is falling into place- we are about 75 days out, the shower dates are set, the invites are close, the decorations are pretty much all purchased, and I am brainstorming ideas for place cards and programs. I am really looking forward to the excitement of June!! MDK and I are very happy with our decision to have a short engagement and we can't wait to be "settled" back in the MPLS!
Have a Nice Day!

Let's Leap and Get Real!
In celebration of 2/29- LEAP YEAR- which is just a few hours away I wanted to write a post. Times are a changing here at Have a Nice Day and it is time for some real talk...
Things that are real-
1) MDK and I are technically in transit back to the Midwest and hope to be back together Thursday-ish pending the weather challenges. I am back as a resident of the hotel to finish up my project and he is driving our moving truck. Don't worry he has good company his dad and little Valentina are joining him in the 30 hour adventure.
Pros: Friends/Family and close for wedding planning. Best of all....MDK is starting a job! We were looking forward to this working out so congrats to my soon-to-be-Mr.!
Cons: Um...snow...and the "adjustment" phase. Two thumbs down to moving.
2) My project is ending and that puts me in a weird "I feel a little lost" mode. With other project transitions it is best to just let go and move on. But, this project has been longer and brought more personal changes, like the move to CA. I like the idea of something new just need to get past the fact that a year of something routine work/pilates/activities with new peeps is done. #sad
3) The wedding is coming faster than I thought...oops. Within this bullet we need to get on the honeymoon planning train. I am determined to completely relax following all this fun!!
4) Having some unsure feelings about getting back to the busy life. When we were in CA it was just us and that at times was bliss. We return to lots of great people and lots of things we love to do. I am hoping we can get a nice mix of our CA slow down back with us. Even if it isn't right away, maybe after the wedding we can just be "us" more than we are just EVERYWHERE. Let's recall Streamlining Life from last June.
Yikes- the last pic of our little love nest in CA...empty. That is plenty of real for now.
Have a Nice Day!
