Our First Day of the Honeymoon

At our Rehearsal Dinner

Our First Dance - Of Course, we are laughing at something!!!

8 More Days!!!

yes...this is what I feel like right now....

Ok....so just 8 more days until I become Mrs. Jones!! I am so excited! So many things have been happening for us these days... We are getting married in 8 days, closing on a house on August 15, and I begin grad school on August 24! Wow!! How we have gotten everything done is just beyond my cognition. All of my friends and family have heard me say lately that God and I seem to be in contact in an istant messenger kind of way. We have been doing a lot of chatting. I feel like I have Him on speed dial... That is NEVER a bad thing! All I know is that "ask and you shall receive" is so true! I was starting to wig out over the stress of all of the above mentioned events as well as the fact that I have yet to find a job that suits my criteria (all i want is a full time job that I get a paycheck with every month!!), and I prayed to be calmed the heck down, and it worked! Try it out!

Anyway, I am so excited to have all of my bridesmaids in town for the wedding this coming week and to see all of my other family and friends at the wedding. This is such an exciting time for Mike and I, and we cannot WAIT to be on our honeymoon. It is very seldom that we get to actually spend a full week together. Unfortunately, we will not be able to live in our new home together until almost NOVEMBER!!!! Not our plan, but his project with work got pushed back SEVERAL months, so what can you do?? Anyone want to win the lottery and donate the money to us? That would work. Then Mike could just come on over to BR with me when I go!

See you all soon!

Love,

Michal

Engagement Party

ENGAGEMENT PARTY!!!

Aren't we cute????

Sara Lee, Mrs. Cathy, Mrs. Julie and Mrs. Trudy threw Mike and I an engagement party last Saturday and it was beautiful and a blast!

Several of our friends and family gave speeches, but the most memorable was what Mike said about us...He was right, he is my best friend, love of my life, and I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful and loving man in my life!

Check out our hot wedding party! Not all of them could make it (we have 9 each!!), but the ones who did, dressed to impress!

Crescent City Classic - April 2009

CRESCENT CITY CLASSIC - APRIL 2009

This is (in order) Me, Mike, Brandon and Laura. Yes...believe it or not there are normal people underneath the costumes and wigs. We had such a blast at the Crescent City Classic this year! We pulled a little red wagon stocked with liquor and beer and pretty much walked the race. Next year Mike promised me that he would be superman and I will be superwoman so I am going to hold him to it! I still am unsure of what I think of a man in tights...We did decide that actually running the race is much more fun too!

There are always tons of Easter Bunnies on the route (becaus it is Easter Weekend)!

Crawfish Boil Shower

Friends since Kindergarten (that's 20 years!)

Here are a few of my bridesmaids and good girlfriends!

This is Mike and I with our fabulous friend and chef, Brandon.

We couldn't get enough of those delicious crawfish!

SO...


Mike and I just had our first shower hosted by our wedding party, and it was so much fun!!! We had all of our dear friends, most of the wedding party and our parents attend. The evening was filled with crawfish peeling and eating, a little beer drinking and tons of wonderful presents to start our new life together! We are both so excited for our wedding day and the anticipation grows by the day, so we have already started planning our house buying and budget!


Here are a few of the items that we received at the shower:


Blender (wedding party)
First Crystal :) -Wine glasses (Mom and Dad)
Tons of Tools (Mike's friends, parents, Jenny and Taylor-she even signed the card!)
Wine glasses, kitchen tools, tons of more kitchen stuff (the girls)
