nesting

i love love love this weather. i love the leaves but not racking them. i love putting on extra layers of clothes. i love baking. i love the crisp clean air. football! i am in my glory.
something about this time of year makes me want to nest and prep for hibernation. i am extra excited this year because of the house.
this weekend i am going to paint one of the bedrooms and i can't wait! home improvement rocks. i love it!

dane has drill this weekend and will be gone from thursday-sunday. this is our first few days apart since he has come home 3 months ago. not going to lie i am going to miss him!

some sad news. three's company will be ending our run next weekend. our little nicole is moving back to fargo to be closer to her family and we are really going to miss her. the three of us have had a blast living together. dane and i owe her a ton for all she has done for us. she was really my guiding light while dane was gone and i could never begin to fully repay her for that.

I don't know how else I could begin to explain why I haven't blogged in almost 3 months. WOW! I wonder if I have any faithful readers left that have a shred of hope that I would return to my long sentenced, list filled, ramblings of a blog.

I will offer a list of excuses of why I haven't blogged.

1. We have not been home for one weekend since Dane has arrived home. We've been at weddings, drill weekends, camping, so on and so forth.

Don't get me wrong. We have had a blast! Go...go....go. That is how we roll I guess.

2.Our wedding. HOLY MOLY is there a lot involved with a wedding. I attempted to get the majority of it done before Dane got home but there were SO many little things that came up. If you have planned a wedding you know exactly what I am talking about.

Our wedding was last weekend and it was PERFECT and these are the reasons why.... (in no particular order)

1. family

2. friends

3. weather

4. family

5. friends

We enjoyed the weekend from start to finish! Our wedding party and families arrived Friday for a rehearsal and grooms dinner. There was a taco bar and lots of good conversation. We headed to the bar near the hotel for a night cap and to catch up with friends who traveled near and far. We are so lucky to have people care about us enough to make the trip and spend that time with us!

I woke up at 7:00am and was TIRED but started to get ready for the day. I sliced open my arm pit while shaving and was bleeding like crazy. That healed up fine THANK heavens! The bridesmaids and I got our hair done. We had a little lunch that my wonderful parents served up and headed out to the lake for pictures. The I do's were said and then off to the reception we went. The food was delicious, the weather was perfect, and we were surrounded by the people we love.

(No rest for us. We have gotten busy on the house. More blogging to come. I PROMISE!)
