Life Never Slows Down.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... life never slows down, and around here it's been crazy! I can't believe Thanksgiving has come and gone! My brother came home from Bloomington and so did my sister and brother-in-law... that made for a crazy household! We celebrated Adam's birthday at the Burkeys on Wednesday night. I woke up on Thanksgiving and followed a personal tradition of mine: got the paper, a cup of coffee and turned on Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Good times. After the parade we were off to my cousins house for some turkey time!! We had a blast... I forgot how much fun cranium can be!! Tim stayed out all night/morning shopping for his brother so he slept all day Friday while I shopped, cleaned and did some wedding planning :) We discovered that the chair covers I've ordered fit our chairs... what a relief!! Then we met up with Kate and ordered our engagement pictures... yay!! Can't wait for those to get here!! Friday night we went out to coffee [my first caramel macchiato in almost one month] and then to Adam's second birthday party... happy birthday Adam! Saturday my entire family on my moms side got together for a second Thanksgiving dinner. That's pretty much where we spent our entire day... it was a lot of fun!! Then of course we did more shopping and Aaron made dinner for us... it was actually really delicious! Sunday we woke up and went to GMC at 10:00 and then to GCC at 12:00. Afterwards we went on a hunt for our program paper... I'm sure Tim enjoyed that! It's not my fault that it's right on the way home from church!! Then we watched the Bears game. What a great weekend!! I'll post some pictures soon!!

Amy's Wedding

I scanned some pictures from my sisters wedding. Obviously I need to clean my scanner :) These are a little old, I just found them while I was cleaning. Enjoy!

One less decision...

Last weekend my mom and I headed up to Holland, Michigan on a search for our unity candle. I can't wait for it to get here. It feels really nice to have one more detail figured out... ahhh!! It's kind of like the tall one... well sort of.

Got It!!
Last weekend Beth, Ann, Amy, my mom and I drove down to Indianapolis on a mission. Wedding dress or bust!! I loved Jen's dress and she recommended Sophia's just south of Indy. This shop is amazing. They treat you like a bride and not cattle like a certain nationwide chain might... cough cough. If you're in the market for a gown check out Sophia's. Five Stars!!

Over the next three months my gown will be made by hand in Australia... I can't wait for it to get here!! ahhhhh!!!
[it's couture... yay!]

Busy Busy Busy

October was a very busy month around here! One weekend we went down to Indianapolis to see my little brother compete at state for marching band. A week later we went down to Purdue for the homecoming game.
We ate, we froze... we stayed for the entire game.
That's a record for me, I usually don't stay past halftime.
Here's some pictures of our adventures...

Some of the family tailgating.... what a bunch of weirdos.

Purdue warming up before the game.

I just found out that our friend Bri was at the same game and sat directly across from us in the opposite end zone. Small world.

Staying warm.

Amy in action.

...and now we come to where Graig sat, up there with the heat.
Not fair.

This is the biggest P ever!!

You can kind of see the P on the scoreboard. It was an exciting moment in Boilermaker football folks.
