Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more!

What a wonderful weekend away we had! Steve and I went this past weekend and visited his family that lives in Topeka. We love going up there, they have wonderful dinners and really enjoy each others company. I enjoy it because I really see where Steve gets his warm loving side from but also where he gets his joker side from as well. I laughed so hard I wa afraid my stomach might hurt the next day!

Steve's work schedule has slowed down a bit and he is now just working about 48 hours a week instead of 70! THe 2010 football season kicked off last week and as many of you know the chiefs played monday night! We had burritos and margaritas and really enjoyed watching the Chiefs beat the Chargers! It has been a while since the chiefs had a big Monday night game like that!

School is keeping me on my toes, I am really so ready to be done. I am not sure how soon I will start taking masters classes, but my guess is I will wait a year or two. I am planning on being done in May, about a week before the wedding. Boy if thats not cutting it close, I don't know what is!!

Wedding planning is going quite nicely, we have been able to check a good number of things off of the to-do list. We have to meet with a photographer this weekend as well as going shopping for Tuxes. I am not sure how excited Steve is about this! Next weekend I am going to go take a look at the reception hall, I am very excited for that!

Hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful fall weather we are experiancing! I am ready to get the mums and pumpkins out and decorate for Halloween! I think I may add that to my to-do list for the weekend as well! I love fall, it has became my favorite time of the year!

Fall is on its way!

Oh wow, what a long, hot, busy summer we have had! Steve is finally done with working his crazy schedule and we have spent the last two weekends relaxing and enjoying ourselves. Steve actually got a few days of vacation after they finished the last SOnic install. He had four work days and two weekend days off with nothing planned! I think he got rested up, he has been hitting the gym pretty regular again. I can not say the same for myself, it seems like something gets in the way every night. School is keeping my busy and so is wedding planning.

We are going to be getting away for the weekend to visit Steve's family in Topeka. I love going up there and visiting with everyone, its so nice and relaxing. Unfortunatly a weekend of traveling means a busy week before for me. I am trying to get all the laundry done and put away, the house cleaned and all my homework done before we leave. SO far I am doing good on my check list and I still have a few days to finish everything.

Wedding planning is going great, so far I have not turned into a bridezilla. We found our caterer last weekend, I am very excited, their food was amazing. We have also decided on our florist and what types of flowers we will use for bouqets and centerpieces. WE are meeting with a potential photographer in two weeks, I will be glad to have that checked off of the list! Finding a photographer has been the single hardest thing about the whole planning process. After we get a photographer we should have all of the major items done. Now we just get to start making deposits and payments!

I hope everyone is enjying the nice fall weather the midwest has been experiancing. Its so nice to have the AC off and the doors and windows open. Enjoy the weekend and I am sure I will blog sometime early next week!
