Wedding Update

Well, the pint glasses for the Stickman Brewing Company arrived just in time for the wedding. I gave several out as favors. If you would like more or didn't get one, just email me and I'll send some out. Several will be sent in the near future.

The wedding went off without a hitch, well we got hitched.

Krissi and I went on a short "honeymoon" to Orlando and stayed at the Animal Kingdom Resort and visited Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom parks before embarking on our trip to Eric and Tracy's wedding in Kansas City. Stay tuned for pictures from the wedding and from the honeymoon.

Thanks for being a part of this event for Krissi and I. We loved to have all of our friends and family present at our wedding. 

Wedding week

Well, folks, it's finally here. The week of our wedding. It still seems surreal. I still can't believe I'm getting married!

Of course, as luck would have it, I've got a sore throat. It started on Saturday and I am hoping it's short lived. I'm drinking loads of water and hot tea. Hopefully that will flush this bug out of my system before Saturday!

It's going to be a busy, crazy, whirlwind week. It's all going to be over in the blink of an eye - which is kind of bittersweet. I've been saying I can't wait to be married - and done planning! - but I know it's going to come and go too quickly. Time with friends and family usually does.

We can't wait to see you all and celebrate with you! Only a few more days now!!

29 days to go!

The grand event of the year (our wedding) is less than one month away. I cannot believe it! It's crazy! I feel like we've been planning for so long and the day is now almost here.

Planning is actually going pretty smoothly (about time!). Just tying up some loose ends. We're in good shape for the big day.

We can't wait to celebrate with everyone!

Episode 2: Krissi and Matt go to MN

As you can see, there are LOTS of pictures from our Minnesota trip below. This isn't even all of the pictures. There were more. But we picked the best/funniest/most interesting.

I was really excited to show Matt around my home state. We crammed a lot into two days(we basically did everything Sat and Sun). Thursday we spent the day at Mall of America. I was trying to find shoes for my wedding. And you have to visit the MoA at least once. If you're in MN, it just one of those things to do. Friday was spent prepping for the wedding and then going to the wedding. Saturday we hit up St. Paul. Sunday we went to Minneapolis. Monday morning we headed to the airport to come back to Florida. Overall, it was a great trip. There's still so much we didn't get to see or do though. Guess that means we'll have to head up there again sometime (soon - I hope!).

Enjoy!

Matt enjoying his burger (gutbomb, slider - these burgers have many names). 

We finished the night at White Castle. Just as the logo says, it's what you crave. At least it's what I crave when I go back to MN. Cheese curds, pronto pups (aka corndogs) and White Castle. Yum-O! 

After the art fair, we went to visit my twin friends Jessica and Michelle. Jessica was very pregnant at the time. She has since given birth to a beautiful baby girl. 

This one's for you mom (Suzie). 

Yep, I had to pose by the cow too. Everyone say "awww." 

We couldn't leave MN without a cow picture. Granted, it was a fake cow but I'm pretty sure it still counts.  

Photoshopped photo...Matt and Krissi at the Uptown artfair (its easier than asking a passerby to take your picture, just splice two together later) 

If you're careful, the "danger zone" is really not that dangerous. 

Matt snuck back there too. We had to take quick photos before anyone saw us.  

I, of course, had to be a rebel and sneak behind the fence. Really, if they didn't want people back there, they would close that big gap. I think last time Kelly and I were in MN we snuck behind with my dad to take pictures. 

We found a fellow tourist to take a photo of both of us in front of the falls. We spent a lot of time there. It really is so pretty. 

Minnesota is somewhat famous for serving lots of things on sticks. I told Matt you could find almost anything on a stick there. This isn't quite what I meant.  

The falls. So beautiful. 

Matt at the top of the falls. 

Don't worry folks - I wasn't really going to fall in.  

Sunday we went to Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis. 

After all that, we ended the day at Town Hall Brewery. They were also out of the beer I really would have liked to try, if I remember correctly.
