Laura & Scott

Laura is one of my closest friends. We became friends when Wayne and I started dating back in 2002. She is mentioned regularly on this blog. I was honored to be a part of her and Scott's special day. It was a low-key event, but memorable and filled with happiness and many laughs by everyone. They were married on a roof-top in downtown Minneapolis. It was quite hot warm that day, but beautiful to say the least.

Josh & Michaela

Wayne and Josh have been friends since 2004, when Wayne started working at KCLD in St. Cloud. We were there when Josh first started dating Michaela and have seen their relationship grow from just dating, to moving in together, to getting engaged, to now married! We don't see them as often as we would like, but are hoping to change that. Josh was working in Rochester with Michaela commuting to the Cities everyday, so they were living in between, but Josh recently found a great new job in the Cities, so now they are moving closer! I hope that means getting together more often!

Wayne went to the rehearsal & dinner Friday night (9/23) in Welch, MN by himself cause he also needed to pick up his tux in Rochester. I had to work and it was a lot of driving around to take Hailey with. The next day our little family of three made our way down to Welch, MN for the ceremony and then onto Red Wing for the reception. Everything was beautiful, especially the Bride. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the day.

Wayne was an Usher. He felt totally honored as he was the only person in the wedding party that wasn't a family member. I thought that meant a lot being he was the only friend in the wedding.

This was Hailey napping while the professional pictures were taking place. She slept a lot that day. Isn't her outfit cute?

Head over to Jenn and link up!

currently . . .

current book(s)

Vampire Diaries. Might not finish it though. I watch the  TV show on CW, but the books are WAY different. Too different. I don't think I like. Not sure what to read next. Any suggestions?

current playlist

Gym Class Heroes...still obsessed with this song:



current color

I usually don't wear nail polish, for several reasons actually.
1) I don't do self manicures well.
2) I think nail polish looks funny on me. I don't have the fingers for it.
3) I don't have the time to keep up with it.

With that said, I have been itching lately to get some sort of manicure and try it. While I get pedicures regularly I don't ever get manicures. We'll see what new adventures the new year brings.

current drink

Cherry Coke

current food

Anything chinese

current favorite show

I have several. New Girl, Revenge and Hart of Dixie are my new faves this year.

current needs

To start and finish Christmas shopping. Then to wrap all said shopping items.

current triumph(s)

I'm hoping by the end of this weekend I will have the mentioned Christmas shopping somewhat completed and if not then very close with a game plan.

current bane(s) of my existence

See Christmas shopping above.

current celebrity crush

Ryan Gosling...need I say more?

current #1 blessing

Obviously it would be Hailey and my Husband. But more specific would be our health. I just know too many people/children/babies that have complications or are going through various things and it breaks my heart every time I hear of something new. Just this week, I heard through a friend that these parents lost their 3 year old to a heart attack. This little boy had heart surgery when he was little, so they knew it might be a possibility, but it's still devastating nonetheless.

current indulgence

White chocolate covered Oreos

Photobucket

current outfit

Work attire...brown dress pants from VS...cream colored top from Kohls...cream colored sweater from somewhere I don't remember cause I have had it for so long...nylons with brown heels

current excitement

Getting our Christmas cards out this weekend!!So excited to share with everyone!

current mood

happy and content...it's payday

current favorite holiday decoration

These little trees I bought from Target.

Photobucket

current #1 item on your wishlist

Desktop computer...which my AWESOME and totally RAD parents are getting for us for Christmas. So excited to not only have two computers (desktop & laptop) in our household, but I can't wait to get my printer hooked up again. It's been way too long and I have so many projects I want to start and finish.

current new year's resolution

Don't be so lazy + work out = loose baby weight& get toned
