new beginnings




Jess & Jarrit's wedding!
I wanted to put a picture of the happy couple here, but none of the pics karen got of them did them justice. (They were both beautiful!)
So basically I grew up with both of them, but they didn't know each other. Jess has been one of my best friends since 6th grade and Jarritt was one of my brother's best friends since I think Jarrit said 4th grade. Here's the catch. They didn't meet through us. They met on a blind date and before it happened Jess asked me if I knew him because she thought i did. I
got very excited because I most definitely did! So there's a clif notes version.
Monday night we were talking about kids and Jarritt was saying he hopes I don't have to work with any kids like he was when he was little. Then he said, "you know how i was when i was little." =)

The wedding was wonderful! It was perfect and I could definitely feel the love.

The wedding party. Yes there were 10 bridesmaids and groomsmen. It's kind-of like where's waldo. I'll give you a hint. I'm on the right.

and we took a hayride from the church to the bolduc to the reception. (maybe 15ish miles). I would say it rained the majority of the time, but it was mostly light only hard for a couple minutes and no downpours. I think we lucked out! And once we got to town the weather was beautiful for the Bolduc House pictures. So everything worked out. Jess was under so many layers you wouldn't even know she was there, but she stayed mostly dry, which is what was important. Most of the groomsmen ended up drenched so they were happy to start drying out at the bolduc. It all worked out though.

Speaking of weddings watch this I LOVE IT! No this is not Jess & Jarritt's wedding and this didn't happen there either... but it's on the topic of weddings =)

I've had my fill of gravel roads (although they all contained memories), reunions at country mart, etc.
now... i'm leaving on a jet plane won't be back for quite a while...

museum field trip

i've been doing really well on my field trip resolution . yesterday i hit up another one:  the chicago history museum .  it turns out it was a free day there, even though i was going to get in free anyway.  that means it was busy! which is fine, i still got to take a gander around.   I've never been to the history museum before so that in itself was exciting. probably my favorite part was when they talked about the world's fair in chicago (i can't remember the exact name).  the buildings were so much grander than i imagined them in my mind while i read, devil in the white city a couple months ago.  it was fun to see what it was really like.  and wow! there was also an awesome exhibit about workers rights and such. so it was a fun little excursion.  

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire ...

thanksgiving time

( via ) Yes, I like Santa.  But why is everyone so anxious to start with Christmas?  Why can't we appreciate Thanksgiving first? don't get me wrong, i'm excited to watch Love Actually again (when it's in-season.  i actually watch it all year long). everyone kept talking about christmas being everywhere this month, but i really only encountered it when i walked around the mall with Greta (my sister-in-law) on Monday.  it was all over the mall.  it could have been december. look what Nordstrom is doing i'm actually really excited for thanksgiving this year... (details to follow) but as far as today goes... I have to share this with you because I think it's funny ( via ) actually... at 11:11 I was running around looking for a book called The Moon Seems to Change
