My face got sunburnt on the way home from Siren, WI today- have I mentioned how much I love that Corey's new car has a sunroof??? The entire hour on I35 I had my seat reclined and my head positioned so every angle of my face was getting the sun. It felt SO good.
Now that my freckles have popped out I have this overwhelmingly happy feeling about summer officially being on its way! I am sitting in my room, the sun is pouring in through the blinds, I hear a neighbor's lawn mower and I can hear little kids playing outside. I LOVE this time of year. Everybody is just so happy and it's kind of unbelievable how fast you can forget how miserable we all were just two months ago thinking this season would never arrive. Minnesota has dreadful winters but the most amazing summers!
Time for a run (okay walk) around Rice Lake! Then burgers on the grill with the fam for dinner.

time can move faster now
I went wedding dress shopping this weekend for the first time. This was so exciting. We went to Angelique's in Blaine and Glenrose Bridal in Plymouth. The ladies we worked with at the two places were named Deb and Debbie. Funny that they had the same name!
I had my mom, Corey's mom, Jamie and Shannon there with me. It was the perfect size group to have for my first time dress shopping. I loved trying on dress after dress! It definitely did not get boring for me. In fact, I think I found the dress I want, but I still want to go look at The Wedding Shoppe in Saint Paul to be absolutely sure I have picked the right dress.
I am loving being a bride. I feel ready to do more planning now!!! I wish it was June already. That is when my timeline that I planned out shortly after the engagement tells me to start doing more planning. Next on my list is choosing the florist. I am almost 100% positive I am going to use Penny, Hollie's mom, for our florist. She is doing Sarah's wedding in October and I couldn't be happier to have our florist be someone we already know and can trust will do an amazing job. I bought my mom yellow Calla Lily's for Mother's Day and I think I want to use them as one of our wedding flowers.
Corey and I had decided a long time ago to move in together in September. I begged him today to push it up a month to August. I think he said yes. I don't know for sure, but I think I am just going to start talking like it is going to be August and hopefully he will just jump on board completely with my new plan. I started getting in contact with realtors and people selling townhouses to see if they would be willing to rent it out instead of selling. I CAN NOT WAIT to live with Corey. Some days are better than others, but at times when we are both super busy it would be nice to live together so we could at least see each other in passing rather than not at all.
Corey is studying for the GMAT exam to get into the MBA program at St. Thomas. His test is scheduled for May 24th and I am so excited for him to have this done so we can really start enjoying this beautiful weather together. We have planned to go to the Twin's game that night after his exam, and I can't wait for it! Not only will we be enjoying an evening at the ball park celebrating our six year anniversary (which is May 23rd but close enough), but his exam will be over and he can finally relax.
Here's to this week flying by and another great weekend ahead- Shannon's birthday and a wedding!

Happy May Day
Well Spring hasn't fully arrived yet, but it seems like we will be having better weather soon. I am so excited to go on a walk with Sarah tomorrow around her new neighborhood and then go on a walk with Jamie on Tuesday around Lake Calhoun. Walks are my favorite part of spring and summer. I love to be outside and feel fresh air! Especially now that I am bottled up inside all day for 8 hours at work.
This coming weekend I am SO excited to go wedding dress shopping for the first time!!! I can't wait to finally start the most exciting part of wedding planning.
Kyle, Kristine and Mia are coming home this coming weekend too. I can't wait to see little Mia- she is 10 months old already. We haven't seen her since she was 6 months old at Christmas.
Five days of work and then a very exciting weekend! Happy Spring :)
