Weekends! I prefer the Weekends!

Ahoy bloggers! I think that mostly means Megan and Alli, but I'm sure there are other beautiful people that read our blog as well. This is Evan bringing some male persepctive to things so don't be surprised to hear things like "basektball" or "tron" or "transformers." Over the past several weeks I have had to work 6 days each week, but I believe today is my last day of working on the weekend so I am stoked about that idea and really hope that turns out to be the case. Especially since I really don't have enough to do to keep me busy on the weekend so I get bored and end up posting on our blog. Michaela has been super daughter this weekend helping her parents out all day yesterday and much of today also. How lucky do you have to be to have a girl like her as your only daughter. Come to think of it, how lucky can I be to have a girl like Michaela as my wife. But I'm here and Michaela is there and we're getting married. In 70 days!

I use Julian dates every day in my job, which means that I always know what day of the year it is (today is the 53rd day of the year). That comes in handy for pretending I'm smart (I can tell you in usually less than 10 seconds how many days until your birthday), pretending I'm obsessive compulsive (counting down every day until Christmas), or realizing how fast days go by sometimes. So now I'm realizing that it's nearly March and that is exciting for many reasons. Allow me to listophy them for you.
1) Conference tournaments are a couple weeks away
2) The dance is 3 1/2 weeks away
3) All our friends and family will be receiving invitations in their mailboxes soon
4) Soon it will be inside 2 months until being married to Michaela
5) I love vacations and the most exciting one I've ever dared to embark upon is 10 weeks away
6) I usually don't mind cold weather, but I am VERY ready for Spring
7) Yet to be determined, but I'm hopeful and I like a list of seven rather than 6

Mondays, oh I hate Mondays. They make me so steamed. Weekends! I prefer the weekends!
Make it a great day, Monday or weekend or some other day, regardless.

Valentines!

Hello blog world. I am still recovering from Jason sending the wrong girl home on the bachelor tonight...I know, I have very important things to be worried about.

Well tomorrow is our one year anniversary round two! Evan and I started dating again last year on Feb. 17! Who knew that one phone call, bo lings Sunday brunch and the nelson could lead us to where we are :) Well, I always hoped for it!

We have 76 days until the wedding and I am getting very excited!

Guess what today is? My first dress fitting! I am so excited. I have been wearing my shoes around the house to break them in and see if they make the cut. I can't wait to see my dress when it fits me perfectly!


Also, another reason why today is so great is that I am watching Gilmore Girls on the couch and knitting my scarf. I love the Gilmore Girls and I am on the last season getting ready to watch the final episode. A little emotional not gonna lie.


Everything is going so well....we are still working on perfecting our invitations and I am starting to think about cakes...


Yesterday was our three month mark! 88 days!


*These pictures are from last May when Evan and I went to visit Meg and Daniel in Boston. I had no idea that at this time next year we will be married!

This is for you Jewel! (per her request for more blog updates) :)

Getting up this morning was rough...Monday mornings always are. My Unit at work is remodeling and so we are squished into a smaller temporary room. All we talk about at work is swatches, organizational options, more swatches and who has the best mullet/mustache on the worker dude crew.
We have been slow at work lately, which means more wedding planning and updating of the registries for me! :)
This morning marks 90 days! I think during the next few weeks Evan and I will be counting down the days with corresponding music from that era...so this week is the 90's...feel free to join in. The more backstreet boys, Brittany and Dave Matthews we can get the better!
This weekend Evan and I met with our DJ and planned out the reception, which was so much fun. So if you have any song requests make them known!
I am waiting for an example of our invitation before we can order them. I am getting very excited. I know the task of addresssing will be daunting...so if you want to help :) Julie? Love you!
Well, that is all I can think of...till next time.
