Things I loved about our wedding Part 1








10. Lemons and Limes...from the very beginning I wanted a green wedding. I don't mean environmentally friendly, but green. Dresses, cakes, etc. I suggested the lemons and limes pretty early on, but it really wasn't until about a month before the wedding people were convinced--someone saw it somewhere else. I thought it turned out pretty cool if I do say so myself. Also, note our favors--individual Colby Ridge popcorn. Yum!


9. The rehearsal dinner: we had a pretty low key rehearsal dinner, with delicious Chances R chicken and all the fixings. Then to top it off, we took off with the wedding party and guests to drink beers and bowl the night away! We looked pretty class in our snazzy bowling shoes! And it let everyone get to know each other before the big night.



8. Our flower girl, Andie: this girl cracks me up everytime I talk to her, she has such an awesome personality. She started practicing for this role from the time I asked her to be in the wedding--around November of last year. We discussed everything except how many flowers to throw--it took her about 6 minutes to make it down the aisle, as she was throwing a few petals on each side, per step. Needless to say, I was in tears from laughing as I walked down the aisle--she was a tough act to follow. I give my nephew props for sticking it out with her, even though he later told me he was very embarrassed :)



7. Ou DJ: I opted to go the discount route with our dj and hired this guy through a vendor at work. We met about a month prior to drop off our dinner music--string quartet versions of dave matthews, the killers, pink floyd--it was a huge hit by everyone. Then the party began, and I don't recall the dance floor ever being empty. And despite the technical difficulties--he lost our playlist, but I am now over it--who knew how telling me Meatloaf wouldn't be played could bring out Bridezilla for the first time that day? In any event, I got to dance to islands in the stream, total eclipse of the heart, and saw the first ever congo line to pussy control, especially when it was started by Erich's mom and her friends :)

6. Erich's Grooms Cake: Erich's cousin makes cakes in her spare time, and she was nice enough to replicate one of erich's guitars. It was awesome, and we got a ton of compliaments on it. Our cake was awesome too, but I especially loved this cake!

Groundhog's Day

So, welcome to 2013!  January was full of busy-ness in the Kant home, what with potty training in full effect, work being super busy and, well, I'm just really tired.  Plus we moved out office into the basement and let's face it, out of sight, out of mind.  And despite the ipad and iphone within arm's reach, I can't figure out how to post from the damned things, so there you have it.  Like I said, January went by in a blur, but luckily the groundog (and more importantly, my mom, whose birthday is also today) didn't see their shadows, so yay! 6 weeks until Spring.  Harper has begun potty training (well, has been in panties full time since late December) and is doing great with the potty piece of it.  The pooping? Not so much, and what sucks is that she really couldn't care less when she drops one in her panties...this mom, however, could do without shaking poop out of panties multiple times a week. Our only saving grace is that she goes to the same place ...

Good Bye First Trimester!

I can't believe that I will be 12 weeks prego next week, it has gone by so fast. It's hellped that I haven't have any sickness, which I am very grateful for. I've kind of have the opposite; I am hungry but nothing sounds appetizing, so as a result I've lost weight. I got a nice little lecture from my dr last week, so I've been trying to eat more, and I think after this weekend, I have to have put on at least 10 pounds! Friday night we had Applebees where we polished off mozzarella sticks, I had a steak and potatoes and veggies, all so tasty! Then today we had Hu Hot for lunch, and just had McDonalds for dinner. I didn't say it was healthy, but it was definitely fattening! I seem to be getting my energy back, there for a while all I wanted to do was sleep. I could still sleep all day, but today I noticed I wanted to do some chores, so I guess that's an improvement. I've also had some lower back pain, which seems to be worse when I sit, which ...

My ego is prego

Yup, it's official! I am about 9 weeks prego! We found out at the end of August, and have slowly been telling people as we go. I've been feeling good, no morning sickness. I am always tired and hungry, but nothing sound appetizing. Well, except for turkey sandwiches slathered with mayo and tomatoes. Yum. We've had two appointments, one for my initial test, and another where they took all my blood for testing (well, it felt like it was all my blood anyway). They also found that my heart murmur had gotten worse, so I had an echo done last week. Everything was normal, so we're thankful for that. The tech even tried to find the little fella, but no luck that day. I also found out I'm Rh Negative, which means that my antibodies will most likely attack the baby's red blood cells upon birth, so I have some shots in the bum to look forward to. Both of our family's are very excited, and have already started collecting items for baby KIP (I stole this from the...
