So the reason I haven't been as good of a blogger as I hoped I would be is because I have been wanting to put pictures up on the blog...well, here is another blog day and still no pictures...I promise pictures in the near future :-)
On another note, since I last blogged a lot has happened so I will put the exciting moments into bullet points:
-Calen and I bought a mattress and bedframe!
-I had the most beautiful bridal shower thrown for me and now our spair bedroom is over flowing with beautiful wonderful gifts.
-We have picked a rehearsal dinner location :-) Get ready for some good grub!
-Calen has applied for grad school!!! He wont start until at the earliest this spring, but we are excited for this new part of our journey! (I'm so proud of you honey!)
-Family Wagon is playing at the House of Blues on Friday night on the mainstage! We are going to have a great time.
-I have successfully made a paper chain at work and I am counting down the days till the wedding...22...
This is where I will stop the bullet points and hit some of the more recent things happening. Last night I surprised Calen with tickets to the John Mayer concert! We had SUCH a good time :-) I wanted to thank him for putting up with all of my craziness during this wedding planning time and it was just a perfect night. But as we both agreed, every night is a good night that we get to spend together.
NOW, for the first wedding mishap so far...thank you to my dear friend Miss Emily Reeves for sharing this moment with me...After Emily successfully picked up her bridesmaid dress from the tailor, she was trying on her dress and noticed it was a bit snug but blamed it on how much she had just recently eaten...Later that night she went back to try it on again and guess what...THE ZIPPER BROKE!!! HAHAHA! That is my longest and best friend ladies and gentlemen! But don't worry....it's not like Emily is fat! Haha! She took it back to the tailor and they fixed the zipper and poof! It magically fits again :-) It's all good people. I love you Em! Thank you for that awesome story!
I am getting so anxious for everyone to be here! All of my closest girlfriends will be together in one place in 16 days and I just cant bear it! My dress is fitted, all of the major details are done, I am SOOO in love with my best friend....I think we are ready :-)
Tonight I get the honor of meeting my sisters little freshmen who live on her hall (for those of you who dont know, my sister is an RA in Nease Hall at PLNU.) I am bringing pizza and cookies and just getting to know these sweet girls. I can't wait!
Well, I think that is all for now...We have an exciting weekend/week coming up full of concerts, new churches, new friends, and a lot of other great stuff. Hopefully there will be some pictures on here soon too so you can visualize all of these great moments :-) Love you all!
Love,
K & C

Our New Blog!
Hello friends and family!
Calen and I are so excited to begin this new journey with you as we prepare to be married in 37 days! Since I LOVE to write and journal I thought that this would be the perfect way to keep all of you across the country update on how the California girl and the Kansas farm boy are doing :-)
As most of you already know, I have started a new job working for Point Loma Nazarene Universities Graduate Student Financial Services office over in Mission Valley (about 15 minutes from the Point Loma campus)! I am on week two of the job and right now things are pretty slow, but I am loving the people that I am working with and I am anticipating that things will start to pick up soon! I am also in the final stages of planning our wedding! At this point I am pretty calm and collected and just ready for the day to be here! With just the small things left to do, I am ready to party and celebrate this exciting time for Calen and I.
Calen is currently still working for PLNU as well, except he is on the main campus :-( No lunch together for us. He is enjoying his time gardening and learning more about plants every day...I cant wait for the day we have a garden out in front of our little house! We will be the envy of all the neighborhood :-) Thankfully Calen has a green thumb because I have successfully killed every single plant that has ever been given to me. Calen's band Family Wagon is also doing really well right now! About a month ago they played a big show here in San Diego at the Casbah and they are playing the main stage at the House of Blues in San Diego coming up at the end of August! Look at him go! Calen is currently living in our soon to be home and soaking up all of the bachelor time his has with his good friend Spencer. It is so fun to visit the boys and know that soon it will be my home too.
Hopefully I will be able to keep this blog updated with pictures and stories of our life as we get ready for the wedding, go on our honeymoon, and start nesting in our apartment. You know with Calen and I there are bound to be some good stories of sleep walking and ungraceful falls :-) We love you and cant wait to start our married story.
Love, K
