In exactly 2 months- 'Kitty D' becomes 'Kitty T' :)

What a rollercoaster ride this has been so far!
There are so many things to consider about the big day that I hadn't even dreamed of! Thank GOD I have Ryan's mom Kathy to fill in the blanks that I missed- it's a blessing to have Martha-Betty Stewart-Crocker on my side to pick up the slack! :)

Our "detail meeting" at the Profile Event Center is tomorrow- and I'm almost positive I've got all the bases covered. Let's just say that this is going to be one crazy party!

This past weekend was Ryan's surprise 30th birthday party up in Fergus Falls- and he was definitely surprised! The Klein's, Hanna's, Eckley's, Reeves', Godfrey's, Vacek's and Anderson's all made it out to celebrate. It took me quite a while to get them all compiled, but I had 30 of Ryan's closest friends and family write him a letter for his 30th- a unique and unforgettable gift that I hope he truly appreciates. (Trust me- it is NOT easy to get a guy to write a letter for his buddy- and MOST of the 30 people were men!) All joking aside though, I am GLAD its over! It was beyond stressful trying to keep a secret from my uber-intellectual fiance'! A HUGE thank you to all of those that helped out with the presents and planning.

So many details!!

I'm going to admit- I thought I had this whole wedding thing pretty well under control. I started the ball rolling right away after the engagement (ok, maybe even a little bit before :) in order to be on top of things!! I have started to realize that for every detail I get to cross off of my list, at least 5 more pop up in it's place! I'm just so happy to have a great support system to help me through this!

Most all of the big things are taken care of. Venue, food, dress, invites, dessert, music, flowers, decorations, and license. All I have left are the little details- that keep piling up!! I can't even begin to tell you though, how excited I am to show off all those little details- to me, they make a wedding personal, intimate, and most of all, memorable!

Mark it down on your calendars!!!

I have finally nailed down the bridal shower and the bachelorette party dates.

The first bridal shower will take place in Fergus Falls at Kathy and Greg's home on Fish Point ~
Sunday, April 7th~ Starting at 11am we will be having a nice relaxed brunch and we are hoping for beautiful weather to go with it!

The second bridal shower will be at Ryan and I's new home in Chanhassen ~
 Saturday, April 27th~ Also starting at 11am, we will be having a FIESTA~ complete with margaritas and Coronas! The shower will last till around 4 pm and immediately following is the bachelorette party!!!!

We're going to keep it pretty low key for the party, no downtown Minneapolis, no Fire Fighters or Policemen (sorry Mom!), just a laid back night of games, drinks, great food, and spending time with my most important ladies!!

Looking forward to the festivities, Ladies. Coming up sooner than I can imagine!! Woo HOO!
