We have set a date!!!
Good Morning and Happy Sunday!
Well wedding planning is underway! We have set a date of August 25, 2012! We have been busy talking and deciding and then changing our minds and deciding again! Oh its sure is going to be an adventure. I finally was able to ask my sister to be a part of our special day. She will also be standing up along with the other girls.
The only decision we have made so far is that we will be getting married on the pier in charlevoix! I am extremely excited to bring Mike's family to Charlevoix and share my roots with them. Charlevoix is very much a reason I am who I am today--plus its natural beauty will be an amazing back drop!
We are still looking for a reception site that fits both of our personalities! That could be tough. We decided to avoid the castle and the perry hotel. We are hoping to find a place that is both romantic and fun, but it has to outdoors and by the water!
My mom has decided to help plan a weekend of dress shopping in Chicago! It should be an amazing experience. I will have a some of the most important people there, but a few will be missing! (i am sad that leona and manda are so far away!)
So far that is it. I will keep everybody updated as far as more plans and ideas. If anybody has any thoughts a great reception site please let us know. I am open to new ideas!
Sending everybody lots of love and hugs.

Good Morning!
Well we had a wonderful vacation in Costa Rica, but it was back to reality a week ago. We returned to Colorado with below freezing weather, and we are currently expecting 19 inches of snow. Makes me want to return to the beach with some of the best people in the world.

It was so amazing to catch up with my girls and to really get to know their husbands. It is amazing that it has been 9 years since I have seen them, but it was like not a single day had passed. Mike also got to meet everybody, and they all approved! Which means I was able to ask them to be a part of our special day. So I will have Kyle, Manda and Leona all standing up on our special day. I was also able to ask my best friend Kelly to be my made of honor. I couldnt ask for a better group of girls to be there on this special day. I do have one more person to ask to be a part of it, but I havent been able to yet. We will keep that name a secret!
Well I have to get ready for my drive in to work today. I hope everybody is having a wonderful week. I will post more later! Have great day!
Sending lots of hugs to everybody!

Welcome to 2011 Everybody!
I hope everybodys year is off to a wonderful start! Mine is off to a quiet start, but that is soon to change. We leave for Costa Rica in a short 20 days. Hard to believe that I will be reuniting with my 3 best friends that I have not see in 9 years. We have been planning this trip for over a year now and its actually happening. I will never forget the day we all bought our tickets--I was grinning ear to ear. Its going to be wonderful. They will all be meeting Mike for the first time. I will be introducing him as my fiance instead of my boyfriend! (I had to throw that in there!)
As far as wedding planning goes--where do I even begin. Mike and I will be paying for the wedding so some ideas on how to stay in budget would be great! We have talked and all I seem to get out of Mike is "it is your day!" Makes me laugh. I have been doing some research and I am hoping that we will be able to have the wedding on Mackinac Island. The Grand Hotel is the ideal wedding spot in my mind! We shall see if it works out. I have been making check lists and trying to figure out the best route to follow when planning a wedding. I get all nervous just thinking about it!
Well I have to get working on my teaching philosophy--Hope to write some more this evening.
Happy 2011 Everybody
PS. 2 goals for 2011
1) hike a 14er
2) run the 1/2 marathon in june in estes park. I will keep you updated on all of this!
