Football Sunday

Jon and I spent (another) Sunday watching football this weekend. Here are a few pics from the day. I will tell you it was an emotional roller coaster for Jon. He was on a complete high to see Tom Brady and the Pats move on to the Super Bowl and basically devastated to watch Brett Favre lose what may be his last chance at the Super Bowl.


I think after a few days time he has slightly recovered and hopefully by the time the Super Bowl rolls around he will be able to watch football again!

Wedding Planning

Jon and I have had a pretty busy week full of work and wedding planning (ok mostly me, but I always talk to Jon about it). Last Sunday my mom and I went to a wedding show in St. Cloud. It is always fun to see all of the ideas and try to win a few prizes. I haven't heard anything yet, but I am sure they will be calling soon about my amazing free prizes! We also saw a fashion show that was fun but turned out to be very long! Wedding fashion shows are beautiful and all, but lets try to keep them under an hour! It was probably getting a bit much for my mom and me since I already have my dress and picked out bridesmaid dresses. We did get to try some great cake samples too!

Monday I went to meet with my seamstress! I have been extremely anxious about this, since I need to have what I feel are significant alterations done to my dress. The lady was very nice and is planning on doing my dress in stages so I can see the results ,try it on, and move on to the next step. So I only have to wait 2 weeks to go back in and check out the first changes!

Wednesday evening Jon and I went to meet with someone about video taping our wedding. She was great and showed us several samples of her work. She videos from 2 camera and edits it into a really neat film. She also does a highlight reel. So we decided to do this! It is definitely going to be worth it to have a great professional video to keep forever!

Saturday we have another meeting with the Pastor at church, so that is always fun...

AND GUESS WHAT!!!
I just convinced Jon to take dance lessons with me! I really did not think he would agree but he did and I already signed us up, so no turning back now!!! It is Ballroom Dance-Level 1 through the local community ed. It doesn't start until the end of February, but I am already excited (and nervous)

Well we are keeping busy here, every week getting more stuff completed and more decisions made for the big day which is now less than 5 months away!
Thats all for now

Little Bro



Jerod will never look the same! He underwent surgery today on both his upper and lower jaw. He told me Sunday he was going to take a picture of himself since he was told his looks would be changing. So I posted pics too! (the pics are not too recent since Jerod chooses to no longer smile in pictures with braces, Hopefully everything will work out and he will get them removed before June 14th!) I am pretty sure the changes will be subtle, but it will be quite a while before the swelling goes down. Surgery went as planned today. He will be returning home tomorrow to begin his 8 week recovery, which includes a few weeks of liquid diet and eventually a soft diet.
Jon and I are going to visit this weekend to hang out as Jerod sits around getting waited on, while watching TV, Movies and playing Video games!
Jerod can now join the Tough-Ass Surgery Club along with Jacque and Jon!!! Welcome Jerod, you will have these memories for a lifetime.

We are thinking happy thoughts for Jerod (who now may be banned from the baseball hall of fame due to steroid usage!)
