Are you Janelle?

Something just happened and I don't know if I should be honored, or embarrassed. Every couple of months my favorite restaurant of all times comes by our office. If any of you know me the least little bit, you know that restaurant is Jimmy Johns, or the double J as I have been known to call it. (side bar, why I am just now realizing Jeff and I could have used a version of their logo for our wedding?? I am super bummed I am just thinking of that) They make tons of sandwiches and cut them into thirds and deliver them to local businesses to drum up new business. For me, it is just another day, because I eat there ALL THE TIME! When I say all the time, this means at least once a week.

They stopped by our office when I was in an appointment. The man comes through the front door to deliver the freebies. He sees our Administrative Assistant. The following is their conversation.

JJ delivery man: "Are you Janelle?"
AA: "No, she is with a student."
JJ man: "Oh, I just wanted to meet her because she orders sandwiches a lot!"

When our AA told me this, for a split second I thought I had hit rock bottom. When did I turn into one of those, "give me the usual" kind of people? I Thought I had avoided this. I have deliberately been going to the three different ones around here equally so the workers couldn't figure it out . The problem is, when I order for delivery, only one of the three will deliver. Epic Fail!

Then I thought to myself... no... JJ is your best friend... wouldn't you want them to know you?! I think it's pretty spiffy they know me. Maybe I will just mix things up next time and order the unwich ;)

Wedding Wednesday

I know I know, I totally forgot last week. Don't worry, I am ALWAYS working on the wedding! Right now we are in Invitation mode. It is amazing how many decisions go into a small piece of paper that everyone will throw away and call us at the last min for directions etc.

We met with our wedding planner, Marie, last week. We worked only on invitations. We were there for over an hour. Crazy! We have chosen a design and are just finalizing the important documents to go into the envelopes.

Last night I spent my time going through our entire guest list and putting notes at the bottom. The note says how I want the envelope addressed. Why do I need to this you ask? Well, my friend Amanda has volunteered to use her awesome handwriting skills and address all the envelopes for me! I am going to just send them down to Florida when I get them :) I am so excited because all of you got my save the dates... my handwriting leaves much to be desired!

People ask me all the time how wedding planning is going. Honestly, great! I am almost finished. And when I say that.. I am completely serious. I could tell I was losing steam on the whole planning thing so I used my last bit of energy and finished 90% of everything.

The big 2-7

Last Saturday was my birthday. My last birthday as a Koenig, my last birthday as a single woman! Weird to think about. Anyway... It was a VERY low key birthday. I do have some amazingness to share though!

Jeff got me a Kindle. I opened it on Friday because that boy can't keep anything a secret. I was bombarded with... What do you think it is? Do you want to see it? Where do you think I bought it? Etc. etc. So I usually give in because I am just tired of the questions. I was pumped to see the Kindle for sure! Look at the wrapping paper he picked out! Polka dots, like our wedding!
Tina came over and took me out to lunch. It was AWESOME hanging out with her. I really miss being roommates! She stayed awhile after and Sherman found his new soul mate.

Jeff had a meeting for work all morning. When he came home, he had a cake and balloons. By the way.. that cake rocked my socks.

Jodi and Brett met us later to go out to dinner. Of course Cooper went too! He was soo good at dinner. By the time we got home it was his bed time. He was partying hard, but then mom said he had to go to bed and miss out on the fun....

I am kidding.. hahaha He was just really tired. This picture is AWESOME!

Jodi and Brett spent the night! It was so awesome! The next morning Cooper was playing with the balloons. We were trying to get a picture of his crazy hair. This one you can kind of see.

OH.. I forgot to mention that we played the MJ wii game that night. Allison and Tony came over too and we played for a long time! I took a video of the ONE song Brett and Jeff did. (I hope the video works)

Oh Dear

So last night Jeff and I were being silly and play fighting about something after work. I can't even remember anymore... but this is the actual conversation we had.

Me: UGH You are on my last nerve!
Jeff: You are on my only nerve.
Me: You only have one nerve?
Jeff: Yeah, sadness.

Wedding Wednesday

I follow a couple of blogs that have several every week things. One, which is my favorite, is called "Tuesday Shoesday" and she puts up a picture of shoes every Tuesday. I always love those. Well, since I have 5 months until my wedding *pauses for gasps* yeah... 5 months! I have declared Wednesdays as "Wedding Wednesday." This is a chance for all my blog readers to get a sneak peak at the big day and to see what we are up to in the planning process.

This week... BUBBLES! We are very limited on the things we can do/throw at our wedding on our "fake getaway." One of the items I will keep a surprise for the day of the wedding, but we also are doing bubbles.

One night Jeff and I sat down and tied bows around these suckers. He was super sweet and helped out.

There is another thing to check off the list! I must admit, I am flying through my check off list like it is my job! I am counting down the days!

Oh, Go Fly a Kite!

Jeff and I worked outside all day yesterday. We worked on the deck, we planted flowers and got our house ready for summer. After a long day outside, it occured to me how windy it truly was outside. Frances had given us a Spiderman kite last year out of her car. I remembered about it and decided to take a kite flying break. I had Jeff come down and try it. Then we got Sherman involved. The picture below shows him flying the kite. We put it in his collar. It was hilarious! Then, I decided to run and have him follow. So he ran and the kite came with him. haha Then he realized what was going on and bit at the string so the kite came tumbling down. It was hilarious while it lasted. (sorry about the crummy phone photo. We didn't have time to get my camera)

We Love the Tierney's!

There, I said it. It's true. That family holds a special place in our hearts. If any of you know my fiance, he doesn't fill me in on ANYTHING from his past unless I ask him about it. The Tierney's were different. He talked about them and even visited them. I soon came to realize that Joe was very special to Jeff. I finally got to meet them last summer. I soon figured out why Jeff was so fond of these two (now three =)) They are super awesome, and made me feel very welcome in the friendship. Last weekend Ethan celebrated his 1st birthday in Kansas. Jeff and I drove out to the participate in the event. After E went to bed, his grandma watched him while we went out for awhile. We had so much fun. We met up with some of their other friends as well. Here are some pictures of the evening. We ordered appetizers and there didn't seem to be enough and Amanda and I had to share. We shared like adults of course, but we had to pose for a picture like this.

Amanda and I ended up sharing a bottle or two of this wine. Who ever took this picture needs a lesson on how to not put the bottle in someone's face. hahaa

Jeff and Joe. Jeff is ALWAYS distracted. Taking pictures is no different.

Ok, good... a picture with the bottle in a normal place.

Amanda was talking to Baker about "The Hills" for a good while. It was pretty hilarious.

Our server, Eric, forgot to give us a chill cooler for our second bottle, so we made him bring us one. haha

On our way to the car. I wanted to show everyone how much ahead of me Jeff always walks.

One last picture of the evening!

We sure had a super fun time this weekend. We actually visited Jeff's family and Sherman stayed with Grandma and Grandpa. More on the rest of our weekend later!!
