Oh my goodness...it's so hard to believe the wedding is just two weeks away!!! AND I'M SICK!!!! I've had a cold or something...I'm going to call the doctor today to see if there is anything more I can take to knock this out of me before the wedding and honeymoon. I really don't want to have to wisper my vows because I can't talk - which has had some good days and some bad days. Oh well! That's really all there was to say...Just hard to believe we are really on the count down!!! Just a few more days and we are in APRIL!!!!

Hey there Bubba and Bubba's readers. I'd like to invite you to check out Jenny's Community Kitchen at www.jennyscommunitykitchen.blogspot.com .

I took the same quiz as Jenny...I found out I'm Vanilla: You're as popular and relaxing as vanilla ice cream. You go with the flow, and get along with all sorts of people. You appreciate peace and simplicity, so you sometimes find crowds and loud noises overwhelming. You are a chilled-out, calming influence on the people in your life, and your friends appreciate how supportive and flexible you are. 32% of the people who took this quiz got the same evaluation.

Sorry I haven't written for a while...There just hasn't been much going on recently to write about! Last night (Monday Feb. 18th) I had a surprise party for Lou. He's hitting a "landmark" birthday tomorrow (Feb. 20) and I wanted to do something nice for him. I contacted as many of his friends that I could and we had a nice gathering at the Brazen Head Irish Pub in Omaha. Unfortunately I was so worried about pulling the whole event off that I forgot to take pictures...Thank you to everyone who made it out! I know Lou really enjoyed himself and was completely surprised...Now he's threatening me about my next "big" birthday. We'll see what he can come up with! Wedding plans are coming along nicely. I don't know of anything MAJOR that we have outstanding. Just a lot of "little" things. Invitations are going out today or tomorrow...my attendants are planning a shower for Lou & I, and we just have to schedule our follow-up appointment...

Wow...hard to believe that 2008 is upon us already! Happy New Year!!! I know I've been delinquient in my postings recently. So I'm going to try to briefly re-cap the last two months of 2007! November Mom, Lou & I made the 15 hour drive to Idaho to visit Kevin, Jenny & Michael Leo for Thanksgiving. We left Omaha around 4pm on Wednesday Nov. 21st and arrived Pocatello around 7am Thanksgiving day! It was a long drive, but when we could actually see some of the scenery it was really beautiful! Some of the roads were a little scary while passing through, as you are on the side of the mountain. Kevin was in charge of cooking Thanksgiving dinner and made sure everyone pretty much stayed out of the kitchen during the day! Thanks dude! You made a great meal... Friday night took us to Christmas parade through downtown Pocatello, we were also treated to a chili dinner and some hot cocoa. IT WAS COLD...hense all of us bundled up in coats, gloves and earmuffs The parade was a ...

Yes, It's our first official snow of the season! If only we weren't driving today...It's a beautiful snow, but I'm already hearing about the crazy drivers on the roads!!! Keep Lou, mom, and I in your thoughts and prayers as we travel West to Pocatello to spend Thanksgiving with Kevin, Jenny & Leo! I'll be posting pictures from our trip west next week. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! For the geek in all of us here is a little Thanksgiving story: The celebration of Thanksgiving will be incomplete without the legendary Turkey. It derives its name from the 'turk turk' sounds it makes when scared. Turkey was at one time being considered as the national symbol of America. Benjamin Franklin felt that turkey was the right choice because it was a good runner and had a sharp sight. A bald eagle later became the national symbol of America. First Thanksgiving Feast The famous 'Turkey' adorns the table of every household as a main course during the c...
