Life is Good

There is so much going on recently- and it is all good things. This coming weekend we have a wedding to attend in Northfield- that's where St. Olaf College is where Corey attended college and met Matt Nelson and Jess Levin- the bride and groom at the wedding this weekend! Matt and Jess also met at St. Olaf. I remember their sophomore year, we joked about us four being/ becoming The Nelson's. Now it is actually happening! Matt and Jess will be married at Boe Chapel on St. Olaf's campus and their wedding reception will be held at The Grand- an old theater in Northfield where some infamous dance parties went down throughout their four years at STO. Corey is an usher in the wedding- can't wait to see him all spiffy in a new suit!!

We are excited to spend a couple nights in Northfield and then get up early on Sunday to head to my grandparent's cabin for the 4th of July with my family! I LOVE 4th of July at the cabin and am excited for another year up there.

On the list of amazing things happening right now in our lives:
Corey was accepted at St. Thomas to receive his MBA. He starts this fall and the program is part time for three years. It is going to be busy, but I am SO proud of Corey for not only being accepted, but for being so motivated and determined to be successful. I love that about him and am so happy he decided to get his MBA.

Corey and I made an offer on a townhouse in Plymouth and it was accepted by the builder. Yes builder- the townhouse is brand new and hasn't been lived in, so the builder is the seller. We are signing a purchase agreement on Thursday!!! I can't believe after the year of living at home post college, (two years for Corey) we are FINALLY moving in together! We will be closing at the end of August. I can't wait to begin this chapter of our life together. We have been together for six years, so living together for the first time is going to be a major adjustment. I am sure we will have our share of arguments, but I am just SO excited for it!

My wedding dress has arrived!!! I am so excited to go back into the Wedding Shoppe to try it on again and take it home with me. I  am especially excited for the timing of it all because I think my step-sister, Daina, will be able to come with to see it. We need to make an appointment for her to be measured for her bridesmaid dress, which is also from Wedding Shoppe, so I plan to make it an appointment for both of those things!

Lots of family in town in the next couple months and I am just so excited for everything happening right now!!!
