I'm at work late tonight and thought it'd be a nice time to clean out my purse/wallet. I haven't done that in ages.
In my wallet I have a bunch of various gift cards that have little balances. I thought I'd check the balances on them to see if they're worth keeping or not. One of them was a Starbucks card. I thought the balance was something like $0.83.
Nope.
It had $10.00 on it.
WooHoo! Guess who's going to get coffee on her way to work in the morning!

What's in a name
I've officially changed my name now. We stopped at Costco on the way home and I made sure I got my name changed there. Then when we got home my new driver's license was waiting for me.
I can't tell you the number of times I start writing out my now maiden name only to realize that's not correct anymore. Trying to remember a new last name is much harder than remembering write the correct year on your check!

Yep, it's almost Halloween now
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is on TV right now :)
It's a Halloween tradition to watch it every year. I've watched it for as long as I can remember. It appears that I've trained my husband because he put it on for me *lol*
Check your TV listings and don't miss it!

Saturday Night's Alright (for fighting)
It's that time of year again.
Hockey season.
Tonight was the first home game for the Grand Rapids Griffins. We don't have season tickets this year, though. With work schedules and trying to coordinate when the boys are with us or their mom it was decided to not have season tickets. Instead we got a 12 game package with flex tickets. Meaning we can pick the games we want to go to.
One of our games was the season opener at home. Griffins vs. the Hamilton Bulldogs. If this season is anything like the first 5 minutes of the game it'll be a good (and winning) season.
In the first 5 minutes of tonight's game we scored 3 goals and Hamilton pulled their goalie!
The night was not without some fights and one guy really got his clock cleaned. Someone else on Hamilton's team ended up with virtually no ice time because of the length of the penalties and misconducts he got for going after a player. I think they called it instigating.
The other excitement tonight was the puck that almost took us out. A puck went airborne heading right to us. I noticed it and glanced over at Chris to make sure he had seen it (he hadn't) and then it landed in the chair in front of us. To give you an idea about the speed and force it actually cut through the fabric on the seat. Thankfully the person that was in that seat was at the concession stands otherwise he may have really been hurt. A couple inches higher and it would have hit Chris in the knee. The puck landed in this person's coat and Jim reached over real fast to grab it.
All in all an exciting start to hockey season.

Up, up and away
Once again I was moved by the power of Scrapshare. Last week one of our friends lost her son. Danny was only 5 years old. He had a tumor on his brain stem and slipped into a coma after emergency surgery.
This weekend at the Scrapshare Ohio retreat we each released a red balloon in Danny's honor. Why red? Red was his favorite color.
We planned to coordinate our balloon release with the girls at the Scrapshare North California retreat on Saturday. We gathered outside and said a prayer for Danny and his family and let our balloons go.
Danny's services were Monday and many of us around the world wore red in memory of a sweet boy many of us never met. Danny will continue to live on as we know of 4 recipients of his organs that were donated.

Wedding pictures
Yes, these are long overdue. Most of my readers are also on Scrapshare or Facebook and would have seen some pictures there. I don't have the professional photos yet but here are a few that I've gotten from friends and family as well as off my own camera.
These are a few pictures taken by Rene while we were doing formal photos outdoors.

I had an appointment Friday after work to get my hair cut and highlighted. This time she went strawberry blonde with caramel and blonde highlights!

More random stuff
I stole this from Heidi who stole it from Beth :)
Bon Appetit!
Appetizer: When was the last time you had your hair cut/trimmed?
Friday 8/8/08. My last haircut/color before the wedding. I'll try and get a picture of my new hair color to post on here shortly.
Soup: Name one thing you miss about being a child.
I really agree with what Heidi said: "The ability to be happy without money. Or to think that fifty cents is a lot. I miss that." I can remember walking up to the store with some change and coming back with a glass bottle of coke and some candy and change leftover.
I also miss the hours I'd lose playing with my Barbies.
Salad: Pick one: butter, margarine, olive oil.
Butter. Closely followed by Olive Oil. There's something about "real" butter on popcorn :)
Main Course: If you could learn another language, which one would you pick, and why?
Spaenish.
Dessert: Finish this sentence: In 5 years I expect to be…
Long gone from my current department at work!

Proof
A couple months ago we bought kitty beds for Abbie and Willow. They are soft and kind of fuzzy like his favorite blanket. We figured he'd take right to them especially since I put his at the top of the stairs where he always sleeps.
Did he take right to them?
Nope.
For a couple weeks I never saw him in it. Then one morning I noticed some kitty hair.
Aha!
Still never saw him in it until one night I got up the middle of the night and saw him passed out in his bed.
A few nights later I caught him again in the middle of the night. Apparently it's a "you don't really see this. You don't have proof" kind of thing.
Until the other day.
This is what I found in the afternoon.
Cute isn't he?

Ribbons and Tulle, and Tins Oh My!
This past weekend Brandi came over for the weekend so we could go to GASC and she also offered to help with wedding favors.
We got tons done!
The centerpiece is just a prototype. I've got it figured out (and have floral tape that's not white!) I just need to get more of the colored pebble things.

I'm in trouble now
I went to my first Stampin' Up! party tonight.
Hoo boy am I in trouble.
I love it all. I was inspired for the first time in ages.
I wanted to buy it all.
I did order a few things and I can't wait to really sit down and see what I can create.
Card making may be a new hobby.

The dress is in the house
Thursday I went to Becker's for my final fitting and to hopefully take the dress home. They got it out for me and I got to try it on again. The alterations were great and it just needed a touch more work up top.
They said that if I could hang out for a bit they'd try and get the final work done while I waited. No problems here. I had all day.
I did some shopping while waiting and picked up my earrings and garter. I'm now completely outfitted :)
About 30 or so minutes later they brought my dress back and asked me to try it on again. Like you need to ask twice. Got my dress back on and it's now perfect!
They pressed it again and put it in a garment bag for me and off I went.
It's now hanging in the closet waiting for the 23rd of August.

Altered lunchbox
Brandi made this for me and gave it to me last night at dinner. It's so darling and thoughtful I had to share it here and brag on her a bit. I will definitely be carrying it with me on my wedding day.
Thanks again Brandi!
Thanks again Brandi!
