I had my bridal shower Saturday and it was fabulous! A big thanks to everyone who helped out with it and to everyone who got us something...the gifts were amazing and so much more than I ever expected. Here's an incomplete list.
China
Good silverware
Everyday silverware
Picture frames
Baking pans
Colander (2 - one plastic and one stainless steel)
Noodles and pasta sauce
Comforter
Throw Pillows
Wall Hangings
Ice cube trays
Wooden spoons
Flatware tray
Dishes
Crock pot
Wok
Cutting board
Gift card to Bed, Bath and Beyond (which John and I used some of today)
and lots and lots of recipes!
I'm sure I missed some things since I don't have the list in front of me but I'm so thankful for all these gifts...they are truly a blessing. We also played some fun games. The first was to guess how many tootsie rolls were in a jar. Aunt Marie won that. Then they passed around a gift to different people (the mother of the bride, the person with the smallest shoe size, etc...) until it ended with the person to Kindra's right. Kindra's boss, Deb, won that one. Finally each person had to give me eight pieces of advice, each starting with a different letter of my first and middle name. John's cousin Rachel won that one. Her advice was "share the covers with Johnny." Always a good idea. When I have the advice in front of me I'll share all my favorites with people. Though I one I absolutely love is my quote of the day.
Saturday night John and I went to a party that one of his coworkers was having. I was able to get to know some of his coworkers better. His boss was there for a little while with his new son, Noah, who is so cute! We had a great time. Today we went to church and then to our house before I headed off to work. Besides having to work today I had a great weekend.
Quote of the Day: "Run, don't walk to church." - Aunt Marie
Joke of the Day: A friend said to me, "I think the weather is trippy." I said, "No, man, it's not the weather that's trippy, perhaps it's the way we perceive it that is indeed trippy." And then I realized I just should have just said, "Yeah." - MH

Pictures!
The loft, repainted
The game cuppard, we took the short doors off
The kitchen, repainted cuppards and new hardware
A new light fixture, a source of unecessary frustration which led to John falling down the stairs :(
The small bedroom, repainted
The small bedroom again
The master bedroom
The ceiling fan in the kitchen, another source of unecessary frustration
The living room
The living room
The bathroom, repainted
The bathroom, more lights
The bathroom, no cuppards sticking out
The bathroom, John and Dan put in ceramic tile! It's my favorite room.

Joke of the Day: "I saw a girl with a flower, she was plucking off the petals. She was saying, 'he loves me, he loves me not'. It's a good thing flowers can't talk. What would it say? 'Damn that hurts! Damn, that hurts as well! Dammit, leave me alone! I'm no longer pretty. And he loves you not. I could have told you I have an even number of petals!" - MH

No breakfast in Hell
Friday night John and I went to G-pa and G-ma Bergy's for dinner along with Daren. We had a very good time. Grandma's dinner was amazing as always, you never leave her house hungry. After dinner we played a rousing card game of GOLF. Daren won and I think Grandpa lost. It was quite fun and in one of the last rounds I was able to score a -25! This is a rarity for me so I was very excited. After that we sat around and talked for a couple hours. I said something about how Dad signed my diploma because he was president of the school board my senior year. Then Grandpa pulled out his father's eigth grade diploma which had his father's (my great-great grandpa's) signature on it. It was very cool. Since we were into some of the old stuff anyway they got out their ration stamps from the war and a picture of Grandpa when he was in the military. We also saw Grandma's high school stuff. It was really a wonderful night and I learned a lot about my family.
Other than that John and I have been working on the house a lot. The bathroom is finally done! John moved in the other night and we're finishing bringing stuff over today. I'm going to take the "after" pics today and then post them as soon as I can, which may be later today, I don't know. We also saw Step-Brothers last night. Very crude but VERY funny. You can never go wrong when Judd Apatow and Will Ferrell get together. They also did Anchorman and Talladega Nights.
I recently rediscovered this song and thought I'd post it for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utGKO04E0zw&feature=related
Breakfast by Newsboys
Hold the milk, put back the sugar
They are powerless to console
We’ve gathered here to sprinkle ashes
From our late friend’s cereal bowl.
Breakfast Clubbers, say the motto
That he taught us to repeat:
“You will lose it in your gym class,
if you wait til noon to eat”.
Back when the Chess Club, said our eggs were soft
Every Monday he’d say grace and hold our juice aloft
Oh, none of us knew his checkout time would come so soon
But before his brain stopped waving, he composed this tune:
Chorus:WHEN THE TOAST IS BURNED
AND ALL THE MILK HAS TURNED
AND CAPTAIN CRUNCH IS WAVING FAREWELL
WHEN THE BIG ONE FINDS YOU
MAY THIS SONG REMIND YOU
THAT THEY DON’T SERVE BREAFAST IN HELL
Breakfast clubbers, drop the hankies
Though to some our friend was odd,
that day he bought those pine pyjamas
His check was good with God
Those here without the lord,
How do you cope?
For this morning we don’t mourn
Like those who have no hope
Oh rise up, Fruit Loop lovers-
Sing out sweet and low
With spoons held high
We bid our brother “Cheerio!"
Quote of the Day: "She jumped out of the car like they were giving away food stamps!" - Michael
Joke of the Day: An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience. - MH

Interview
I have an interview for that promotion on Monday at 4:30. If everyone could please pray from now till then...not the whole time, just once a day is fine. But seriously, I really have a desire to be in this position and I would greatly appreciate all the help and prayer I can get.
In other news: The house is almost done! We'll finish the bathroom this weekend and then it's pretty much just odds and ends that will have to be done. I'll post some "after" pics once I take them.
Wedding plans are going pretty well. I need to finalize things with my cake person and I'm hoping the invitations will come in soon. After that it's gonna be all the little stuff tofigure out. I'm very excited!
Joke of the Day: "Someone handed me a picture and said, "This is a picture of me
when I was younger." Every picture is of you when you were younger. "
Here's a picture of me when I'm older." Where'd you get that camera man? - Mitch Hedberg
