Wedding Registry
Hi all,
We've had a few inquiries about what we want for our wedding. If you have any inkling to get us something, our registry is listed on amazon.
Also, well wishes would be very much appreciated.

Dress
I received my wedding dress on Thurs night. It's gorgeous and completely me. I just need to get some accessories to correspond with it. I am getting married in less than a month :-)!!! -
B-day
I had a really wonderful b-day. It started out at the spa while Nate worked 12hrs. I had an 1hr long massage, a facial, a mani and pedi and then a lunch. I got home about 10 minutes before he did and we headed to get our marriage license. It was fairly simple. We stopped at a consignment shop in town, and then at a farmer's market. yay! We ( Read more... ) -
Spa Day
I have thursday and friday off as PTO days. Since Nate has to work 12hrs on the day of my b-day, he got me a spa package in town for my b-day gift. We will still have dinner together and he has already baked the cake.
Happy birthday to me :-) !!!! -
Passports
Getting passports is proving to be a difficult task. Some of the directions had cracked me up however. There was a paragragh in there called, The paperwork reduction act - which to surmise states that it should only take you 45 minutes to go to the post office to apply for the darn things. Then, on the bottom of the page, I read, "burden time = ( Read more... ) -
Yes, I am Alive

While I'm supposed to have Fridays off, I can't exactly do that when they have 50hr week mandatory overtime. At least that is what happened last week. Oddly, I hit the 50hrs at ( Read more... ) -
Sassy Northeastern Girl Meets Fundamentalist Christian Family
I thought I'd share my independence weekend update. Nate and I took off for Oregon, IL right after my work's Jul 3rd bbq, around 2PM. The drive was LONG. I slept in the back sleep for about 4-6 on and off. He slept for about an hour and a half. I never learned how to drive stick ( Read more... ) -
Meeting the Parents
In just a few short nights, I am driving to Oregon, IL to meet the parents. I haven't met them before, so this will be interesting. All I know is that they're fundamentalist Christians, so I have a list of things I can't talk about. They don't know we live together - obviously. Nate's sister is coming up from Missouri too and thinks she will ( Read more... ) -

Church Membership
I have finally found a church I can call home! I've been church shopping for the last two years with little success. After working at 3 different UU churches, and working in some YACM (Young Adult/Campus Ministry) capacity for 10, I just want to go to church, ENJOY the sermon, and feel moved. It has been a long time since I've felt inspired in ( Read more... )
