Happy Halloween!!

Happy (late) Halloween!

This is the only full shot of my Pin-Up Girl costume...the rest of them are me and sister being nutty!

Anyway...I hope you all had a great night!

Me and Kevin are headed to Vegas next weekend...I'm hoping to get some pictures since we have...1 of the last trip there.

Have a great week!

NieNie

So...I watched Stephanie and her husband "Mr. Nielson" on Oprah a few weeks ago. I was smitten. She is so amazingly strong, and her husband is the sweetest guy ever.

Then my friend here at work told me that she reads her blog NieNie Dialogues, and again...smitten. I just love it.

You should go read it.

You'll love it too.

Today I was catching up on some posts, and there was something that made me laugh out loud.

"I was downstairs and overheard Mr. Nielson upstairs
attending to two screaming girls in the shower.
Then he said:
"Oh girls, guess what? The devil called and said you guys were doing awesome."

I laughed and was glad the day was over."

I really think that you should all go read her blog. It's amazing.

Really Quickly...

I am so in love with Kevin...

I can't even handle it!

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

Okay...Me and Kevin went to Squatters on Friday and we met with the event guy, Daniel.

He let us in on a little secret, we could get the way bigger (and much more AWESOME) room for not that much more money, but not if we are doing it on a thursday. If we did it on a Sunday or a Monday, he could give us a killer discount on the room, because they don't seat that space for the restaurant on those days so they don't need to make up the cost of not seating that space.

Which brings me to the biggest change of all...

March 15, 2010

Is now the date of the wedding. That's a monday, if you didn't want to look at your calendar.

I'm so incredibly excited about this. Mostly because now we can invite a lot more people and the room I was thinking of was really small in person. Really, Really small. If we filled that room to capacity, it would be way too crowded and I would be in claustrophobia induced panic all night.

Not a happy thing.

Plus, the big room is upstairs, and its A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I love it up there...the ceilings are incredibly high, 2 of the walls are windows, big windows.

I am just in love.

One more thing, Kevin had on his work shoes this morning, and I had on my pink slipper shoes...I don't think my rockin' shoes will make me taller than him. I underestimated his height with shoes on.

Woo-Hoo!

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

enough money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to...
something perfect to wear if the employer,
or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..

a youth she's content to leave behind....
a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
retelling it in her old age....
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...
one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry...



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ........

a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family...
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems,
and a recipe for a meal,
that will make her guests feel honored....



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..

a feeling of control over her destiny...
how to fall in love without losing herself..



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

how to quit a job,
break up with a lover,
and confront a friend without;
ruining the friendship....


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....

when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY...



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

that she can't change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..
that her childhood may not have been perfect...but it's over....



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

what she would and wouldn't do for love or more....
how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it...



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW.. .

whom she can trust,
whom she can't,
and why she shouldn't take it personally...



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

where to go...
be it to her best friend's kitchen table..
or a charming Inn in the woods...
when her soul needs soothing...



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

What she can and can't accomplish in a day...
a month...and a year...



I love it!
