The Checklist

Here's a picture Nancy took when she was in town-it's about time we get an updated picture of us!

Now the checklist dilemma...

So I belong to a couple of websites that give checklists on what needs to be done and when for weddings. It's really helpful in prioritizing things-I obviously know what needs to be done but not in what order.

The one thing that is floundering out there is wedding workout. It says it over and over again. I cannot afford a personal trainer. I rely on good weather for a good run. (LOTS of rain lately...) I also have a favorite yoga DVD. I have lots of workout gadgets and Biggest Loser DVDs...but my back isn't ready for those. I would be no good if I wasn't walking again. It sits in the back of my mind...knowing I'm doing what I can...but wish I could do more. I would love any suggestions anyone has on this-especially any healthy snacks that I can add in my daily activity. I'm sure busy and have no choice eating what I can find. I have been divulging in Special K bars-but need something else too.

I've really put off dress shopping because of this-Getting back into shape from surgery was harder then I ever imagined.

Everything else is going well-going to spend Father's Day with Bob (Blake's Dad) today.

Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's close to us! We love you all :)

ONE YEAR!

Ok, ok we know. We haven't blogged in awhile! (Thank you Alexis for pointing this out!) So lots to update on.

House first: Blake is totally moved in! We closed on June 7th. It was overall pretty smooth, besides the fact they screwed up the numbers and called us to tell us we needed an extra $10,000 for closing! YIKES! However, it was their fault and we didn't need to bum any money from anyone :) Blake moved in that night. His Dad, Stepmom Renee, Brother Chris, and Sister-In-Law Melissa, and my mom helped us move it. Another smooth event for us. We ordered pizza's, cleaned, put together furniture-it was fun!

Now it's been just over a week that Blake has lived here. Things have been pretty good. We had a little slip up getting cable and internet (Shocking!) We bought a couch yesterday to go with the love seat we have that will be delivered next week. And not to mention too many trips to Walmart and too much money spent on each trip! We are totally up to visitors (Well Blake is!) so let us know if you want to stop by!

Now for the wedding: ONE YEAR TODAY, and we will be saying the "I Do's"!!!! We can hardly believe it. We found a ceremony location, Long Grove Community Church, and we picked our photographer, Krisin La Voie. We are super excited for both! The next few things include setting up the DJ and wedding dresses!

Everything else is overall good. Blake's car broke down-but it is back in action. I have been working 2 jobs plus babysitting this summer-so staying busy. Blake is job searching for a second job-any suggestions?!?!

Sorry again for the late blog-I will do better now that life has calmed down!
