It's been awhile...

It's just about six weeks until the big day...the wedding that is! I can't wait. Jeff and I have booked the honeymoon--10 whole days in Maui! We've written out most of the invitations too! Boy was that interesting...Jeff, Mom, Kirsten and I were tested on our etiquette. I feel quite proper after that ordeal! But most of them are now posted and in the mail! Yay! It's official...now we just have to wait for the big day to arrive! I'm still trying to take off a few pounds so hopefully they will come off in these next 6 weeks! I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Of course I'm excited to be Mrs. Hall but I am also really looking forward to seeing Maddy & Henry all dressed up! I know that they are going to be absolutely ADORABLE as always!!!!

Tip for the day--

Never tell your crack addicted prostitute that you want to help her get off drugs. She may beat you up and hit you in the head with your telephone.

Just a little something I learned at work this week. Tee hee! Never a dull moment!

Settling in!

Well Jeff and I are certainly settling into our new apartment. Fortunately our things have blended well together. I threw out the lamp he hated and he gave away the awful tree table! So all in all our apartment looks really cute. I know we are both very happy to be there. We still have the little details of setting up the computer, hanging pictures, etc. but mostly it's all together. We love going down for a swim or hot tub. I feel like I'm staying in a hotel everyday!

So thanks to all who helped us move and put up with yet another address change for me! I'll have to post some pictures when we get the computer set up. I just wanted to drop a line quick over my lunch hour. Until next time...

Now I'm the FREAK!

I guess good ol' Karma is giving me a taste of my own medicine! So on the last post I wrote about Jeff banging & clanging around at 6:30 in the morning. Well, today it was my turn! 5:00 AM rolls around and I'm wide awake. I tried to go back to sleep & did a little reading but to no avail. So I got up and packed the last few items in the kitchen and bathroom.

The movers will be here at 8:00 tomorrow morning. By that time Jeff & I will be so exhausted we'll probably oversleep!

We spent our long holiday weekend out at "Gopher State" round-up and celebrated with our friends in recovery. The registration on Saturday night was 0ver 7400 people...that's insane! It's just one big huge party! We had a great time and we were even able to get a room at the last minute. What a nice surprise from my Jeffrey! It was a nice getaway from our apartments which have been in shambles for the past month!

Hopefully tomorrow at this time we'll be un-packing at our new apartment...Stewart Ave here we come!

Moving...

So Jeff & I are planning to move-in together before our wedding in August. What do I hear this morning at 6:30 AM?? Bang, clang, bonk! Jeff is scrubbing his bathtub & floor on his hands and knees. So much for beauty rest! So that is how we'll be spending the next two weeks until we're officially in our new apartment. He's much more anxious about this move than I am but I have been known to go ghetto and move in garbage bags! So....needless to say I'm not too stressed out about the packing part. I am nervous about living with a boy!! I'm used to living with girls or my brothers so we'll see how this unfolds. I guess if we're going to get married we do need to live together right?! Ha ha...actually, truth be told I can hardly wait to live with Jeff. I'm counting down the days!

Welcome to our blog!!!

So here we are! I have enjoyed reading up on everyone else's blogs and thought it was time to start our own. I also wanted to keep our loved ones posted on our day-to-day lives! As most of you know Jeff and I are getting ready for our big day in August. So most of the posts at this point will be focused on Wedding Day Bliss.

For those of you who don't know our "history" I'll use our first blog to tell the story of how we met and became a couple! Jeff & I actually met four years ago at a recovery group we attend. We even took a service committment together carefully arranging that we would ride in the car together...just he & I. But as the fates would have it nothing happened until two years later! We stared across the room at eachother and finally I got the nerve up to e-mail him....I know, I couldn't even call him! He then had the big enough hint to ask me out! The rest is well, history. So we dated for a year and a half before he popped the question on my birthday in October of 2007. So we're heading to the alter on August 9, 2008 and looking forward to the big day!
