Surprise!

Well, we're down to less than 2 weeks until the wedding! After all this time with Dustin, I finally pulled one over on him last night and surprised him at a wrestling fundraiser. (I had called his mom, Kristy, that day so someone in the family knew I was coming.) One of the main purposes of the 250-mile trip was to get his signature on our marriage license application, and to spend some last-minute quality time with him before we say 'I DO'!

After I arrived at the High School, Kristy and Don met me at the door. They pointed me in the direction of his where-a bouts and I started to approach him. Clueless of my presence behind him, he continued to play Craps. I put my hand on his lower back and said, "How you doing?" He turned around just enough to see say, "oh pretty good," then returned his attention back to the table. He immediately turned back around and then realized it was me and I got a kiss from a VERY surprised man! I couldn't believe that I had done it, I completely surprised him! Typically, I'm so excited to see him, that even if my intentions were to surprise him, I end up telling him anyway that I'm coming or send a text saying I'm 20 minutes away or something!

We spent today running some errands and spending some time together. Dustin ran some movies back to Movie Gallery while I put together a home-made pizza for dinner. I've come to realize I'm needing some practice with this cooking thing, eeek! He returned with 'Love Happens', a chick flick. =) Heading back to Kansas tomorrow to finish up on the last minute to-do's for the wedding and to continue helping my wonderful parents prepare their house for them to move in. Fingers-crossed they will have everything to thier liking prior to the wedding weekend!

I'm still trying to find my wonderful bridesmaids something special as their gifts for the wedding. Took my gown to David's Bridal to have it steamed and pressed a final time! We're contemplating a good room arrangement for the reception, but we'll find a solution eventually! Centerpiece materials are ordered and will be put together soon. Wedding bands have been picked up. Now, trying to sort through cloths to take to Maui and all the essentials - not to forget we only get a quart-size bag for all 3-oz. or smaller liquid or gel items in our luggage.

Recently, my parents are proud new owners of a new house! We've been painting every surface in the house trying to get rid of the smoke-smell from the previous owners. Mom had the privilege of purchasing new bedroom and living room furniture, she's VERY excited about it! I'm so happy for my parents and hope they can enjoy the house and peaceful new surroundings!

Before I know it, Dustin and I will be happily married and on our way to Hawaii - life can't possibly get any better than this!
