30 days (give or take)

One month.
Four weeks.
However you want to put it.
DANE WILL FINALLY BE HOME!
I recently read a quote that said "We may not have it all together but together we have it all."
In 30ish days we will have it all. We will have each other back. I can't wait for the little things. Just being together. Just being us.

I can't wait to go to dinner or a movie or shopping (even for groceries!)

I can't wait make travel plans. I can't wait to go visit our family and friends together.


I can't wait for a hug and a kiss. I can't wait to lay on the couch together.
I can't wait for our morning hugs. Nothing starts my day better.

Dane is my rock. He treats me like a queen and I am so lucky to have him as my husband. It amazes me that after almost a year apart I feel closer to him than ever before.

So in honor of the remaining 30 days here are my 30 things I can't wait for!

1. Dane coming home (obvious, I know)

2. OUR WEDDING (eeek it is exactly 100 days away!)

3. Picking Dane up from the airport

4. Working on the house together

5. Date night

6. A hug and a kiss

7. Going on a little trip (hint hint Dane!)

8. Our first BBQ at the house

9. DMB concert

10. Cooking and cleaning up after him (the excitement of that won't last long! LOL)

11. Spending time with family and friends together

12. Laying on the couch and watch TV together

13. Buying bikes and riding on the trails by our house

14. painting the house

15. morning hugs

16. having someone here to scratch my back (both literally and figuratively)

17. being in the same time zone and continent too

18. to yell honey I am home

19. having him on his side of the bed

20. not having to get a ladder to reach the high stuff

21. to call him at work and ask what he wants for supper

22. to be picked on (i.e. pit rockets, foot swipes)

23. to tell him how he likes his meat cooked (he never remembers...its medium well)

24. to have him fetch me a diet dr pepper when I am comfy on the couch

25. to know he is back in the United States

26. to see his cell number pop up on my phone

27. just live everyday life together

28. continue to dream big

29. show him how much I appreciate and love him

30. to hold my hand

Seriously soaked!

There was a shower last weekend and it was a soaker!
My aunt Lynn, cousin Laura, and some of my mom's wonderful friends threw a shower for me in Chokio on Saturday last weekend.
I am tearing up now just thinking about the genorosity of those who came from both near and far (my aunt Laurie from Iowa attended!). It was wonderful to see everyone and I was sad that I wasn't able to visit with all of the ladies that attended and gave such useful and thoughtful gifts.

We offically move into the house this Saturday and now I better start channelling my inner Martha Stewart, Betty Crocker, Rachel Ray, or any other domestic figure.
I can't wait to make this house into our home and all of those that gave us something helped me make a great home for Dane to come home to.

We are about 45 days (and counting) until Dane finally comes home and I CAN'T WAIT!
There is so much to look forward from now until he comes home. Maybe I will just make a little list of those things since I love lists so much!
-Movers come this weekend to move the "big stuff"
-Mya's wedding in Fargo on the 19th! (SO EXCITED!)
-Our friend Shawn & Tiffany's wedding the 25th
-Fourth of July!
-Our niece and nephew's birthday party July 10th
-Rachel's bachelorette party July 17th
-DANE COMES HOME!!!!

I need to keep busy because I am already SO anxious and excited for him to just get home already!

THANK YOU AGAIN to all of those who put on the shower, attended the shower, and thought of us. Your genorosity and thoughtfulness is much appreciated!
