Bridesmaid Dress Shopping

Back in October, we went bridesmaid dress shopping.  At the time, I hadn’t started this blog.  I had my other blog, but I didn’t write in it very much.  As a result, I only have one good picture from the day. I had picked out a style that I really liked from David’s Bridal.  I [...]

The Proposal from the Guy’s Point of View

 I asked Mat to write this post for the blog that I would post on our wedding day.  As you read it, we’re either getting ready, waiting for the ceremony to start, saying I Do, or dancing the night away.  Enjoy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So Melissa wanted me to do a couple of guest blog posts and [...]

Tomorrow!

I can’t believe it’s finally here.  I thought it would never come.  Tomorrow I become Melissa Kolbeck.  Weeee!!!!!!!!!!! And since we’re, you know, [...]

Words of Wisdom

This is a fantastic guest post by Rebecca Woods, a published writer!  Her brother is my godfather and my dad’s lifelong best friend.  You all should go google “Living Through Charlie” and buy it!  And google her blog.  It’s pretty darn cool.  I’m honored to have her as a guest blogger. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This Friday, Melissa [...]

Calm, Cool, and Collected

Considering that my wedding is about 3.5 days away, I’m pretty calm.  I went for  a 5 mile run this morning along the same route I used to do early in the morning before work.  It was a nice change of pace, but still familiar.  I even ran into my mom-in-law while she was walking [...]

Home for Wedding Week!!

After church this morning, I went home to my parent’s house.  I spent some time when I first got home reorganizing all the wedding stuff. When I first got home, I saw the gift table my mom set up in the living room: Presents are exciting!!!!  One of those boxes is actually empty with a [...]

A Wedding Dress and a Giant Bowl of Yogurtland

Trust me, these are related. Remember that time I had a huge bowl of Yogurtland, in which you couldn’t see the yogurt underneath all the toppings?  I did that again tonight. That last time you couldn’t see the yogurt was just over a week ago, on June 14th, the last day of school and my [...]
