Winston

8:28 AM Posted In , Edit This 1 Comment »
Well, now that we have finally closed on the house I get to start looking for “Winston”!! I’m so stinkin excited! I’m going to slowly start my search and then hard core search once we hit spring if I haven’t found him by then. It is tempting to wait until spring to get him just because it would be much easier potty training him when it’s not so freezing outside. But I also want him now!!! My future Winston:


Aren't they just the cutest things you have ever seen!!!!

So I know I'm copying Loin's idea here but I liked it. Here are my highlights of 2010:

January: Vader’s 2nd Birthday, Sammie was born, What would have been my dad’s 51st Birthday

February: Got a tattoo in memory of my dad, Super bowl party with friends at BWW

March: I graduated from Rasmussen College, Phil and I went to Florida

April: Made an offer on our house

May: Syttenia Mia

June: Found out that my Grandpa’s wife Barb has cancer :(

July: Moved out of the duplex into our house, camping trip near Chicago, floated down the Apple River with some friends

August: Started Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred, Miller Family Reunion/60th Wedding Anniversary for Phil’s grandparents

September: Finished Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred and lost about 2 inches off my waist!, Went to the MN State Fair, Started painting our new house, Comedy boat cruise for work

October: My 25th Birthday, Phil and I got engaged, Dexter was born

November: Phil’s 30th Birthday, Got a new member of the family – Asterix, Phil’s cousin’s wedding, Phil’s sisters came to visit from Portland

December: Christmas with my Monday crew and then Christmas with the family, closed on the house on New Year’s Eve, had a party at our house on New Year’s Eve (which I will blog about soon, I promise!)

I'm excited for what is to come in 2011. Phil and I are getting married, we just closed on our house so we can finally start working on it, and I'll be getting Winston soon. Skank is also pretty much out of my dad's house (she has until mid February) and then she will be out of our lives for good!!!!!! Yippy!! I have started helping Justen paint the farm house. We are painting every single room and will be working on the lawn/outside come spring. I just finished the living room last night and it looks great! My other close friends are getting married right before Phil and I and I will be in their wedding. I will also hopefully have a new "niece" or "nephew" this fall/winter and another one in the oven come this fall! So, it appears 2011 will be filled with weddings, babies, painting and landscaping! Yay!

Wedding colors

Ugh... I just can't decide on what colors to choose for our wedding. I have been trying to figure this out for what feels like forever and I keep going back to the yellow and grey. I would like some honest opinions here people! What do you think? This pic below has the three color swatches that I would like to go with: Yellow, gray and green.



Then I could do grey dresses with yellow flowers like this:



Or yellow dresses with yellow and green flowers like this:



Decisions, decisions.... PLEASE HELP ME!!!
