So it has been a little while since I updated my blog!!! People are complaining but HEY I have been a little busy!!! :-D 

So here are the highlights.....

Amy Brown set up a "Bachelorette Party" where we went and got our toes done and some got their nails done.  It's always nice to get a little pampered!!! It was fun to hang with everyone 2 days before the Big Day!!! I am just sad that their shoes will cover up their pretty toes!  




Diane, Cindy, Mel, Kim, Amy, and Alisha!!! 


Rocking the Toes!!! 



Kim;s first time getting a manicure and pedicure!!!

BRIAN TURNS 33!!!!! 

I know that Brian doesn't care about Birthdays but I do!!!! 
He turned 33 one May 15th!!!! 

We hung out, did lunch, got our Marriage License, then had dinner with Friends!!! 
Then Brian did what he LOVES!!! Golf!!! 
I got him a Tee time on Saturday at Eaglewood so that he wouldn't be tempted to go on our wedding day!! JK

Bridal Showers!!!

Bridal Shower, Bridal Shower, Bridal Shower, Bridal Shower!!!

So I have had all my beloved Bridal Showers.  It is so fun being the bride and getting all these cool things.  I was fortunate to have four different bridal showers.  The first was put on my my roommates Nancy and Sug.  We had it at Trio.  It was a great time, visiting and sharing good food.  I had a blast and am grateful for all the hard work that they put into it! 


Sug and Stephanie 

Janette, the BRIDE, and Amy


The second one I had was a family bridal shower that was hosted by my dear older sister Amy.  Our family has a tradition of making a quilt for the bride at the shower and i LOVE quilts.  Now Amy, doesn't like this tradition so much but I wanted mine and didn't want to stop before me!!! But Amy did an amazing job of finding and putting the material together... We had a lot of fun just sitting and chatting and quilting.  I got lots of gifts and am so grateful for them all.  I am lucky to have such a supportive family.  Side note... so we didn't get the quilt completely tied before everyone left so Amy, her husband, and I finished it... I don't think that we will be doing this again... Least I got MINE!!!!!

I am filling out an answer sheet on "How Well Do You Know the Bride?"
Surprising.... they got a lot of the answers wrong :(

Quilting.....

Presents!!!! 

My third party was hosted by Amy Brown, Dawn Sorensen, and Robyn Stelter (my friends from WJ)
This party was so much fun because I got to see people that I hadn't seen in forever... It was great catching up and laughing like good old times... 

Dawn, The BRIDE, Robyn 

Amy Brown putting bowes in my hair
Amy really wanted to play the Bow Game! This is were you put a bow in the bride's hair for each present you open and then the groom comes and kisses them out... I didn't want to do this so much... but mention kissing to Brian and he is there! :)


Brian taking the bowes out... it kind of hurt a little. 



My fourth and final Bridal Shower was hosted by Melinda Vranes.... I owe Melinda so much! She is a great friend.  She put a shower together for when and she had so much going on in her personal life.  It was an amazing party and I had a lot of fun! Thanks you so much for all that you did.  I am the luckiest girl! 


Melinda and the BRIDE





I want to thank everyone that came and had fun with me.  Thank you for all your love and support.  You all mean so much to me!

Then I spent Easter with Brian and my family.  My Dad and Brother came down for the weekend.  So I showed them my house, hung out, and had fun.  Then on Easter Sunday I went to Brian's and had an easter egg hunt of sorts.. It was fun!!

Engagements!

It's getting close!!! I am getting married in 51 days!!! I can't believe it!  So Yesterday Brian and I went and got our engagements done.  My amazing and very talented BFF Nancy took our pictures and did a great job!  We had fun... it was entertaining.  It was great practice for the wedding.  If I was smiling then Brian wasn't and vise versa.  Then I was doing cheesie fake smiles and I don't know why... but they turned out great and Nancy did a great job! Now we just have to pick one for the announcement.  Any suggestions?
