Wedding Highlights Video!
Drew, just sent this video out to me yesterday - a reminder of how special our day was!

Wedding is over!
Thank you to everyone for sharing in our special day!! It was so sooo very perfect. We couldn't have ever imagined or dreamed it would turn out as well as it did (not to think it wouldn't be a good day, but rarely do weddings go perfectly as planned)
Married life is wonderful, btw! We've just reached the week + some days mark. We finalized our B&B reservations for our honeymoon, which we leave for next week :) I am very excited for that! Can't wait not only to vacation with my hubby, but just to relax and not be at work!
Photographer says photos will be done soon, so hopefully I will be posting some photos. There are lots on facebook though, if you haven't seen them - from our photographer, videographer, friends and family!
Post wedding news:
Rob's moving forward with his State Police Application, so send prayers and cross your fingers for him. Last week, trooper Herman did some home visits to get an idea of the person Rob was as part of his background check. I believe our place (to talk to me) was the last stop on his list of places... to my knowledge. The trooper said all was well and that he was typing up his list sending it on to Lansing so they could contact him for his hiring interview to the academy! Please please please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he *hopefully* moves forward to his dream job!
Much Love

Single Digits!
Well we've reached the single digits - 9 more days. It is so hard to believe. Though Rob and I have been at each others throats during this stress, let me emphasize STRESSful time, we are so happy to finally be reaching our big day... It will be nice to have "free time" or "Non-wedding time"... I would love to do some more photography!
All that is left to be done is place cards, wrapping presents (plus buying a few more) and um... that's about it! My hair cut/color and test 'updo is tomorrow - Robbie is getting his chopped the day before...
Tee times are set up for the day of for the men to golf... We were able to gain access for the reception hall and chapel for night before (Yay, a lot less stressed because of this). Rehearsal is squared away + dinner following. If you aren't sure if you're invited check with me or Rob or Marian (we just emailed her yesterday with Rob's side of the family).
I can finally count down number of days till "Happy Ever After", new last name and less stress... oh yes, and a very loving husband! Can't wait! <3

Bridal Showers + Bachelorette Party
This past weekend was so fun and so busy!
On Saturday, my aunt Shelley and cousin, Lisa and her daughter, Erin, hosted a fabulous bridal shower in my honor. There was a great showing of around 26 people, yummy brunch dishes, mamosas and a yummy cake! I got so many awesome shower gifts. My friend and bridesmaid, Maggie even flew in from California for the occasion (that meant A LOT).
Saturday night was my bachelorette party. We met at Town Place Suites near MSU at 5:30pm where I opened some fun lingerie and other "goodies". We then carpooled to one of my favorite Sushi restaurants, AI Fusion. It was the first time experiencing a private room with "low seating" which none of us knew what it meant. We thought we would be sitting on pillows or something and playing footsie with everyone all night, but rather we stepped up and into the room and then there was a "hole" under the table so it was as if we were sitting at an actual table, not on the floor. It was a great experience and there were 9 of us, including a few of my friends, my sister and my mom, and one of my future sis-in-laws. Yummy food was had.
After dinner, we headed back to the hotel for a few games and then we hit the bars. It happened to be one of the coldest days this winter, or so it seemed so we only made it to Ricks and then closed down the bar at Dublin square. It was truly a great night, and I had too much... and had a hangover...
...Which means Sunday started out a little rough. I had Rob's side of the family bridal shower. Fortunately, in my favor, it was later in the day and by the time it rolled around I was feeling near 100% again after a slow and painful recovery (lol). A completely different shower "theme" - the wine and Italian theme was amazing. Yummy fettuccine with Alfredo or marinara sauces with bread and salad. It was really good and was beyond what I could have thought. Ashley and Heather did an awesome job throwing an awesome shower for me (and Rob). I can't wait till I can officially call them sisters! Not too much longer now.
Now... It has been three days and every day for a few hours I am chipping away at the dwindling mountain of shower gifts. Unfortunately, it has come as easily as I would have wished. Our new dishes are larger than our current so they don't fit in the cupboard that our old dishes were stored in. So end result - we've had to overhaul and rearrange and move dishes from one to the other... it's been a pain, but I think everything should be taken care of within the next couple days... or so that is my hope.
Anyways, this weekend meant a lot to me (and Rob) andI am we are soo soo blessed to have such amazing friends and family. Thank you everyone for all the support with our big day. 6 1/2 weeks to go!

Taste-testing + Other fun stuff
This past week, on Tuesday, Rob and I had our taste-testing for our reception menu! There was so much yummy food. We sat at a table with two other couples who were getting married May and June and we're having their receptions the same place as us (as opposed to Eagle Eye reception rooms, since they had different color cards for Hawk Hollow and Eagle Eye). Right before the tasting, I showed Rob the room we reserved for the rehearsal - called the Log Cabin room, which as it states is very log cabin - it has the log walls, lots of deer heads and a full mount brown bear and wolf. Rob was pretty excited to see it in person. But anyways, at the tasting, we tried various chickens, beefs, salmon and tilapia, and some vegetarian meals. All were very yummy, but I think we have finally narrowed it down to one each of chicken and beef.
The saturday before, we met with Uncle Mike to go over Ceremony stuff. He gave us a couple books, which we need to look through for ideas for readings and such. He says we can do whatever, but these books provide the most popular and common readings specifically for weddings. Funny, while meeting (at the Wheel Inn) we had parked next to a vehicle who ended up being someone that Rob knows. Well, when he was backing out, he hit the car (BUMMER!), but since we were not occupying the vehicle, it was considered private property and all damages are being covered by their auto insurance, plus a rental car since the work will be about 3 days worth. Aside from the minimal damage, the waitress was the driver's wife, who felt seriously bad and covered our bill, letting us leave a nice tip for her. All in all, it was all quite amusing, and after meeting with Uncle Mike, I think we are well on our way to finalizing ceremony details!
In other wedding news, I pick up my dress on Wednesday, fingers crossed all the alterations are just as they need to stay! I am very excited to have that back! This coming weekend is "Jessy day/weekend" as my good friend Megan called it today while at bowling. Funny enough I questioned why she said that until I realized that this weekend I have back-to-back bridal showers (with both families) and a bachelorette party in the middle! Woohoo, funny how all the wedding stuff is moving forward so fast and I forgot that next weekend already are my showers! Rob has a 10 game 9-pin no tap bowling tournament on saturday, so at least he will be kept busy, though he plans on leaving at 9:30 Saturday and I probably won't see him except for a bit on sunday morning and then sunday evening. I am hoping the weekend will be fun for both of us, not to mention that my parents will be in town for the short weekend. It will be really good to see them and spend time with them for the little time they are here.
We have had a laid back weekend. Went out coyote hunting last night. I find it to be very boring so I have informed Rob to not bother asking me any more. Between sitting in the cold, not moving or talking, watching for what appears to be nothing, and listening to the most annoying fake rabbit shrieking for an hour, I was pretty fed up with it. Oh yes, add all the layers of clothes to put on, the 3 sizes too large military boots (Thanks dad, they do keep my feet very warm, but are slightly too large) and then carrying a chair and a gun = not fun, not doing again. Save my energy for deer hunting where we only got skunked once or twice this past season! Today we had church and then lunch. I took a late afternoon siesta and then this evening we had bowling leagues. It feels funny bowling with all the rest of the league since we haven't in 6 weeks due to our trip to Myrtle Beach and Megan and Jim's cruise. Sigh.
Work tomorrow and I am sure it will be another long week. Until another update...

Well, yesterday we hit our 3 month mark! Crazy how fast time has gone by!
This week - mission is to finish envelopes and have invites in the mail in the next week or so!
My dress is at the tailor and set to be midget-sized and bustled! Yes!

Wedding accomplishments
Well, last night my sister and I had a blast and we accomplished a lot! Kory and her came over around 5 and Kory and Rob played video games while my sister and myself perfected my bridal veil, hairpiece and finished my shoes - well they may be near finish...I'm up in the air on a few details possibly left. We had so much fun, putting stuff together, messing around and skyping with mom (and dad sporatically - he was watching the Lions). Overall it was a very successful and fun night. They didn't leave until after 11, but tired as we all were, things got accomplished and I couldn't be more happy. Saving money, awesome pieces for the wedding, super fun time... etc etc.
Today has been a lazy day. I decided to opt out of church this morning so I have been accomplishing a lot of laundry (the laundry that never ends is near an end now!) and my intentions for this evening are to work on the invitations. Once I finish the detail I am working on, I will have just to finish the enclosures and the details on the outside, and we will be set. Overall they are about 90% complete, which makes me extremely happy because they need to go out end of the month beginning of February! Yikes! Where has the time gone? Bridal showers are just around the corner and pretty soon I will be posting saying that "today is the day". I'm finally getting the last minute (though 3.5 months out) jitters/nerves and stresses. I tell Rob this daily. And I don't think its stuff that is going to go away... its just detail stuff that absolutely cannot be done yet, and that friends and family, annoys me! :) I can't do menu stuff, or programs because those few details just aren't settled on yet! Sigh.
Done ranting! According to my smartphone app - 103 days, 20 hours and 39 minutes until the big day :)

Time is flyiiiinnngg by!
So as the time is flying by it is really sinking in how quickly we are coming up to the big day! I'm going to be taking a new last name, starting the next chapter in my life, and really couldn't picture it any other way without Rob in it. He has completed my heart, and I am so SO grateful for great family, my mom and his aunt, for setting us up! Who woulda thought?!
My MOH and myself went and bought material for my veil, and I think it is coming along nice... its a bit more difficult than I had hoped, but am really enjoying making it, adding my own touches, not to mention the cost savings! I didn't realize how expensive veils can be!
Another reality on the wedding... my sister ordered her bridesmaid dress just a few weeks ago... and the dress was due in to the store in mid-January... well in actuality it has come in! Talk about Jimmy Johns fast! Jessica is waiting to get her dress and Maggie either has ordered or will be ordering it soon! Very exciting!
I am really starting to get excited... but I can't help to wonder with all this time spent preparing and getting ready for the big day - what will happen when it is all said and done?... is there a post-wedding depression?... because as much fun (and a bit of stress in there) as it has been, I don't really know what I am going to do when I don't have to plan anything!! How sad is that?!
Anyways, today has been a LONG day. I've been up since 2:15 am to go milk cows and I don't intend on sleeping until my normal time tonight... wish me luck!!
136 days and counting!

While I'm on my lunch...
I have three blogs now and have a difficult time updating every one of them, though they are all different (photos, crafts, and this one).
So here's an update on Rob and I.
Today we have 158 days until we are married. As for wedding stuff to be done:
- Need to purchase stamps for RSVP postcards + $0.03 stamps (stupid prices going up in Jan.). Then those are done!
- fun paper things - menus, programs etc
- order flowers for groomsmen, dads, moms etc.
- order flowers from Sams for bouquets, not till closer to the wedding (YES, I did say Sams - bulk flowers for good $ = SAWEEET!)
- Go over piano music with Judy for during the ceremony
- pick songs for the important dances at the reception
- a wedding license would be good, but not till closer
- finalize bridesmaid dresses - should be completing in the next week - YAY!
Um, that is all I can think of right now. All that Rob is thinking of is tee time for golfing. You can see the difference between man and woman minds when planning a wedding, lol.
In other news, this past weekend Rob and I sighted in guns for gun season. In fact, today and tomorrow I am solo - Rob is hunting and I am left alone at our place! Yay, lets hope I can get some stuff accomplished...
I took some pretty photos at Silver Lake a few weekends ago when we attended the Bunce wedding reception, so I will post those in the photography blog later - photographybyjh.blogspot.com
Um, nothing more. Hoping to update more often then currently

So Long!
Wow - already end of October. I have obviously been slacking on keeping this blog up-to-date! Sorry!
Anyways, I'm going to start recent and then go backwards (I think I will remember better that way, but bare with me as this may end up being a wordy post).
So recent recent, my mom and I went to taste-test a cake at Eagle Eye (Naomi Batterbee) last night. We tried 4 different flavors, all which were so yummy! Rob and my dad got to taste as well, although they didn't go with us, she had just prepared a few extra servings. She sketched a real simple and elegant design for our cake and we, with no hesitation, signed her on as our official wedding cake baker! So one more thing to cross off the list as done! Now just need to make sure on the flavors, but since it is so early in the game we could change that up to a few weeks before. No worries.
Go backwards a few more days, Saturday,April October 22, mom and I met with Sarah at Eagle Eye to go over linens and get questions answered. We left very pleased, an estimated cost in hand, and even got some clever ideas from the two receptions that were setting up - yet again, Success!
Prior to that Rob got a deer!! A nice one compared to thedog deer he got last year. Photo below (sorry, deer is a little messy...)

Save the Date - April 21, 2012
Tomorrow Save the Dates will be mailed. Until you receive those, enjoy this video from Drew, our videographer!!

Save the Dates!
Well, we have officially ordered our save the dates - as they are to be sent out between 6 and 8 months (according to my checklist from the knot), and we just hit the 8 month mark! Exciting, how time flies by so fast!
Also our amazing videographer, Drew, put together an amazing save the date video which will be posted following our save the dates being sent. But that video is really cute too. Its amazing what some one with his talent and creativity is capable of doing. I can't wait to see what he captures for our wedding and for our reception.
In other news, life as we know it, is going well. This week was pretty busy for both of us, and Rob got the news following his MRI, that he actually does not have a torn rotator cuff!! Yea, although his shoulder is still killing him and he will be getting a cortisone shot this Tuesday to help with the pain.
Last night Rob had some mother-bonding time over a Lugnuts Baseball game. Said he enjoyed himself and allowed me to get some wedding stuff done. Today we slept in and then went to the Potter Park zoo for a change of pace and to get outside. we just got back from a family function at Jim and Becky's (cousins on Jessica's dad side). There is always a lot of food and lots of people, so its good to catch up with family that we don't see only but a few times a year. Every now and again they have poker tournaments too so that will be something to go to.
Jessica's parents survived Irene, though Irene didn't end up hitting them as originally thought would happen. Last I had heard, they had a tropical storm warning and the weather was clearing up nicely today. Prayers sent out to those that Irene hit or is heading too.
Tomorrow will be another lazy laid back day. I'm hoping to accomplish a few more scrapbook things or a wedding item or too, though I have lost motivation. I did however finish a word book for a certain family member and am working on the second one for another family member. That post can be checked out here
I will have more to update sure enough and keep your eyes out in the next month for some save the dates - they will be on there way soon enough :) I believe there are 238 days until the wedding....

Well, plans are moving forward well (notice the new ticker @ the bottom!). Invitations are near done (about 97% done)... I have to wait on a few things such as hotel information and addresses before they are complete. But that is a huge weight off my shoulders to have those nearly done
The design for save the dates is done. I haven't ordered them yet, but then again they won't be mailed for another month... I guess that is going to come quickly :)
We are meeting with the cake lady when my parents get back from MB (end of September).
We'll keep you posted as things keep moving forward. We are really looking forward to April 21!

My Dress...
Is IN!!!
Just got a call from Amanda's Collection in Conway, SC yesterday... now the dilemma... do I fly down there to get it, or just have my parents get it when they are down there...
Oh the decisions! :)
