Honu House

As many of you know, we are leaving tomorrow morning (early) for Mexico! We are both so very excited and can't wait to get there for some relaxation and an escape from our busy "everyday" lives!!! Hopefully we'll both come back nice and tan and very relaxed! If you'd like to take a small break/vacation with us here is the hotel: The Real Royal in Playa Del Carmen , and here are some sites on Playa Del Carmen: http://www.playa.info/ http://www.docancun.com/playa-del-carmen.htm http://www.iloveplaya.com/ http://playadelcarmen.com/ArticleSite.cfm/PageID/59091425 I hope you enjoy the trip as much as we will! I'll post again after we return. Oh I almost forgot, here are a couple of pictures from the wedding! We are still waiting for more individual snapshots as well as the professionals! I hope to have more when we return! The bride and her mom! The goom with his mom! The happy couple - at the reception! So many have asked what my dress looked like...here ya go...

Oh my goodness...can you believe the wedding is just three days away?! I am so excited to be Lou's wife...I just can't tell you! Everything seems to be falling right into place. I'm trying hard not to stress the small stuff, I keep telling myself, if it gets done...it gets done. If it doesn't, it doesn't. People start arriving in town tomorrow - Wednesday!!!! Kerry, Tony & the girls; Mary Jo (Lou's sister); and Mary (Rose's sister) arrive tomorrow. Kevin, Jenny & Leo; Uncle Kenny; Uncle Eddie; Nana & Pop all arrive Thursday! It will be so nice to have so many family together! Just wish everyone lived closer together so we could all spend the day/weekend together! I know the last time I posted, I was sick...well, I am feeling A LOT better...still a little stuffy with the head "stuff" but doing much better - at least I can talk! Now though, it sounds like Lou is starting to get the bug...and so is Leo & Olivia. We have 3 days people.....

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 ...
