May 2nd, 2009

It was a sunny but chilly Saturday. We woke up that morning and got ready to....get married!

Our parents came down to the cities for our 12:00 wedding at the Government Center in Downtown Minneapolis. It was a whirlwind of a morning. Trying to figure out how to get there and to be on time! (Isn't that some type of wedding jingle!?)

We had the option of doing the ceremony in the judges chambers or in the court room. Honestly the judges chambers were really messy and I always pictured that a courthouse wedding would happen in a courthouse!

It was a 10 minute ceremony and the judge had some wonderful words to say about marriage. It came time for us to say our vows. Dane went first and didn't fumble once but when it was my turn the judge prompted me to say my vows and I went ahead of him once!

He then pronounced us Mr and Mrs Fuglestad!

Sunday will be May 2, 2010 and I am so proud to be married to the love of my life. I can't wait for October 2nd, 2010 to walk down the aisle and have our union blessed in the church and celebrate with our family and friends.

Happy one year anniversary babes!

Thumbs Up

Happy Birthday Dane!!

The 19th was Dane's birthday! I talked to him and it sounds like he had a pretty good day. He really doesn't like to celebrate or let alone acknowledge that it is his birthday. So I will keep my singing to a minimum. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Dane. Happy Birthday to you!

Since Dane has left I have had a couple of days where I haven't been so positive. We have so much to be positive about that sometimes I have to remind myself of what is to come. Some of the other army gals told me how much harder it has been when their soldiers went back after leave and.....they were right. It is only about 14 more weeks left yes but that is just 14 weeks to many!

I like to make lists. They are like therapy to me. So, here I am doing some "blogging therapy" via a thumbs up list.



1. We close on the house in 34 days....Thumbs Up!

2. My good buddy Lisa for being such an awesome support system....Thumbs Up!

3. Dane won a Physical Fitness Award with a score of 275.....Thumbs Up!

4. I am going to pick up my wedding dress this weekend.....Thumbs Up!

5. Dane and I will celebrate our anniversary in 10 days......Thumbs Up!

6. Dane is one more day closer to coming home.....Thumbs Up!

7. My good friend Mya's wedding and showers coming up in May and June.....Thumbs Up!





We just want to give everyone a big Thumbs Up for being such awesome support. Whether it is a thought, prayer, phone call, card, or package. We truly feel blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives and don't know if we could ever repay you all for that.

All our love and appreciation
Dane and Jamie

14674 Dunbar Ct.

In 46 days we will own this perfect little home on Dunbar Court. We can't wait!
While Dane was home we took a day to go house hunting and were hoping to find our house that day and we did. We looked at approx 12 houses. We loved the first house we looked at and compared every other house to that one. Then we looked at this house. We loved it from the minute we pulled into the neighborhood. It is on a cul-de-sac and there is a park on both sides of the cul-de-sac.
It has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a great "man cave" for Dane in the basement to fill up with electronics, TONS of storage, and an awesome backyard.
We can't wait to make this house our home. I will post pics once we make it our own. It is so hard to tell with pictures so you will just have to come over and have a visit!

The outside of the the house. I can't wait to hang some plants and x-mas lights!
The second living room on the main level. The kitchen and dinning room are all long this area.

My area....the KITCHEN! I love it but we will someday redo it!

The back of the house from the park. It is huge and we can wait to play yard games out there!
As you can see there is no deck but this is actually awesome....we can built what we want!

Dane will get to come home to this house when he finally gets home in either late July or August. I am keeping busy getting ready to close on the house and move as well as keeping on task with the wedding stuff.

Hope everyone is enjoying the green grass after this rain....I am enjoying it now but soon I will have to mow it!
