...Backing it up a Little

I'm going back a couple weeks to the Bachelorette Party!!

(How could I not blog about that!?)

Emily (my maid of honor) did such a wonderful job putting it together - and Lindsie contributed with the wondeful "Fun Fetti Surprise" cake! Not sure a picture on the blog is appropriate here. lol She also came up with the idea of all the girls color coordinating. We went to Old Chicago in Okemos for dinner than drove over to the Connxtions Comedy Club in Lansing - it was great! The main heading was hilarious and we all had a good time. The girls made it their main priority to make sure I was having an even better time. :D What was the best was when Emily and Lindsie had to get up on stage and do their best imatation of an orgasm (like in the movie: When Harry Met Sally) - Emily won. :D

Never even had to use the

"INEXPERIENCED DRINKER'S PUKE BUCKET"!

What do you get when you add

13 girls, pizza, comedy, and a 1 bride to be?

A heck of good time!

The Beginning

So here it is...my blog! I've never kept a blog before, but decided to start one to keep friends and family updated on our new life together (Luke and I that is). I hope you all enjoy!!

Two weeks this upcoming Saturday - that's how long we'll have been married. Summer is flying by! I remember counting down days til' July 18, 2009 and now we're entering August and I'm married! I don't want to blink because I'm afraid I'll miss something.

The wedding was beautiful - the honeymoon wonderful and now we're starting the "real world." So far, I've spent today and last night alone as my husband has been gone working double shifts. Work this week has been (for lack of better words) "hell" as we have been incredibly busy! The apartment is still in shambles and I have been scrambling to get name/address changed and organized. Friday we leave again for the weekend as we have Adam and Megan's wedding in Chicago. Real life has hit Luke and I and has not been very gentle.

I'm learning it's the little things that make it great, however. Like yesterday, I came home from working an 11 hour day to find brownies, made by Luke, for myself and the girls at work. They were great! In between working, unpacking, and taking care of business he found time to bake brownies - just to tell me he was thinking of me and loved me.

...it's the little things that make a "great" day - no matter how long, how stressful, or how demanding. I am so blessed to have wonderful family, friends and husband who contribute to those little things. God is good!

Be on the lookout for upcoming honeymoon pictures!

(as soon as I find the adapter to upload them - hehe)
