Wedding Wednesday!

I have had several "complaints" that I didn't put up the Wedding Wednesday post last week.  It is so  nice to know I have so many loyal readers. hehe

Recently we sent out our Save the Dates.  We sent them on a Thursday and by Saturday we had one in the mail!!!  I was sooo excited! I ran in to tell Jeff...

I just couldn't wait to see who it was!  I opened it slowly....

 Matthew, Stephanie, Owen and Eli are coming to the wedding!!!!!!!!! 

The next day more arrived...

 Some people even wrote little notes on the back of the cards!

It has been so much fun getting those back!!  I get mail every day!  It is a tiny guessing game of who it might be from.  We have also received a blank card.  They didn't write their name OR if they were attending or not.  Luckily, they did put their return address label on them so I sent them a quick email to verify.  I am just getting more and more excited every day for the event!

If you are reading this and haven't sent yours in yet, you better hop to it!  hehe

Anxious for the day Bride over and out!

My weekend...

 The reason these kids are wearing the headbands is a secret.  I will reveal this in due time.  I will warn you though, it is awesome!

 AHHH I love that face!  Cooper eating Sushi for the first time.

 This is a pre curser to 'wedding Wednesday'  so come back tomorrow for the explanation.

 Cooper came over and took a swim at aunt Janelle's house!

 I may or may not have put him in here, took a picture and then left him.  The jury is still out on that one.

It was a long and tiring weekend. ;)

Dear Mr. President...

Dear Mr. President and Pope Benedict,
  Today my fiance mailed our wedding invitations.  I made sure to address one to each of you.  I care a lot about my family and friends, but it would be completely awesome if you were the first ones to reply "yes" to attending our wedding.  Let me know in advance and  I will make sure to have the proper security. 

I also know it isn't in the invitations but we are registered at Bed Bath and Beyond, Target and Home Depot.  If you want to go off the registry I will allow it for the two of you.  I would be interested to see what you come up with!  We will also accept cash.  Sorry Benedict, we use U.S. dollars here.

I also only reserved 2 seats for you, Mr. Pres ident, if you would like to bring your kids and even your dog, just let me know.  We can make room!

I can't wait to meet you on 9/10/11 

Thanks,
Janelle

P.S. Mr. Benedict?  It cost us $1.80 to send your invitation.  Please please RSVP 'yes'!

A Secret Mission

Jeff had a secret mission to complete Friday! He received this note on Wednesday....

It says "Jeff's Secret Mission July 8"

It was just my way of trying to spice up date night :)  We actually had a lot of fun and Jeff, even though he wouldn't say it out loud, enjoyed the secret mission part of it all!

Our first mission was to go to the driving range and hit a bucket of golf balls a piece!

 Here is Jeff sad that the bucket is finished.  One a different note, Jeff changed up his swing a little bit and was hitting much better, so watch out if you play golf with him next!

 YAY! mission one complete!

The second part of the mission was to go to a local burger place that Jeff has been DYING to visit and stuff ourselves silly with burgers, fries and homemade root beer!

 Pay no attention to my sweaty-ness.  It was GOOOOOD root beer!

Mission COMPLETE!

Just in case you are wondering, on their menu it says "free bumper sticker upon request"  I asked myself... Why wouldn't I request one?!?!

I would say it was a totally successful mission.  We got home at 7:00 (yeah, we are old) and because of all the greasy goodness, I was honestly in bed at 7:30. It also may have had something to do with not catching up from the 4th but it is still funny that on Friday night my body decides it is time to shut off at 7:30 p.m.  I am pretty sure my 84 year old G'ma Bell was still wide awake at that time =\

Finding me at my Happiest

There are some things that can just make my day.  A text at the right moment, being greeted by Sherman when I get home from work.  Today I discovered something that makes me really really happy.  It is no surprise that I love FRIENDS.  Everything involving the show.  I watched it non stop when it was on.  I always joked that I would even miss a funeral to watch it if I had to. (this was before DVR for sure)  Sadly I have worn out my DVD's over the years.  I know every episode by heart.  This afternoon was no different.  I was working on some crafts in the dinning room and had it on in the background.  Jeff came in from mowing and started watching it.  To me, watching that show is like listening to a CD.  Nothing surprises you, but you find comfort in the familiarity.  Jeff hasn't seen every episode.  I kept catching him laughing so hard at some of the jokes and things that were happening.  I was getting the biggest smile on my face watching someone I love so much fall in love with something that enjoy.  I was just cracking up at Jeff watching the show.  That was definitely the high point of my day!
