So much to say!

I know I disappeared for a little, but I'm back! Things have been crazy and will be until the end of the year, so I'll keep you as updated as I possibly can.

I'm not going to post a lot tonight, but will highlight last week and will write more when I can.

Since my last post (the hair cut) I...

• ...Went with Matt to O'Fallon, IL to buy his new 50" TV and sound system (what joy!). But I have to admit, I love watching TV over here now, it's like a movie theatre!
• ...Had another practice with my band - if I haven't mentioned in a previous post, I'm in a band. It's for my work holiday party and we are actually really good. Surprising, huh?
• ...Asked another one of my best friends from high school, Danielle to be a bridesmaid and got to hang out with her and her adorable husband this past weekend.
• ...Went to Kansas City for Thanksgiving and had a great time hanging out with family. Matt and I asked my three little cousins to be ring bearers and flower girl in our wedding.
• ...Bought a wedding dress!
• ...Had a second Thanksgiving at Matt's parents house with the Telken crew. It was nice to see everyone, it had been awhile! Plus, I had time to ask Lynn, Matt's sister, to be a bridesmaid; Darla, Matt's sister-in-law, to be a greeter/candle lighter and Matt's niece and nephews to, you got it, be more of our ring bearers and flower girl. We are going to have six of the little one's involved if you're keeping count. Our reception is going to be 21 and up, so they can't come...it's nice to involve them in the ceremony.
• ...Went to a couples shower for our friends Mike and Heather, getting married in March.
• ...Took our engagement pictures.

So much going on! I'll post more soon - along with pictures. But not of my dress, that is something I will not share. :-)
