Radio Spot!!!!

 So, our radio spot has official aired here in Indy!!! On Sunday, Nate and I were driving and heard the last like 4 seconds of one of them. I guess there's more than 1 because the one we heard is not the same as the one on the website. Oh yeah....here's the link:

 I hope they send us a copy of all of them, if there really is more than 1, so we can pass them onto you all!!! It's pretty exciting...even though it took a while! Hope you guys enjoy....I'll keep you posted on everything! :)

Happy (1 day late) Birthday, Grandma!!!

I did it again....missed my Grandma's Birthday yesterday. Wish I had a good excuse.......anyway......

HAPPY 84th BIRTHDAY, GRANDMA!!!!!

We're kinda famous!

 I can't believe I forgot to put this in the last blog....THIS was the whole reason why I was blogging today. Anyway.....Big News!!! I don't if I mentioned it when I first started blogging, but Nate and I did a radio spot for our jewelery store, Reis Nichols, like 6 months ago. Well, they said they would call and let us listen to it before they put it on the radio. Cool right?!? Well so much time has gone by that I just assumed they didn't really get anything "good" from what we said...really from what Nate said since they wanted to know mostly about the ring shopping experience, etc. (There was 1 other couple with us doing it too and what I REALLY thought was that that guy ruined it for all of us because he was a little boring in my opinion) WELL......the lady called Nate the other and said either they started on it or were working on it or something to that effect AND would we like to be like "featured" on their website....picture, blurb, and all!!! DO WE?!?!?!? OF COURSE!!!!!!!!! So I'm not really sure where we go from here (Nate does all the talking with the store!) but we got a little list of questions about us. (How we met, wedding details, ring details, etc.) So as soon as we figure all that stuff out.....probably another 6 months.....I will put a link on here for you guys!!! Pretty exciting huh?!?! :) :) :)

 Dress Update:
  Last weekend Nate's parent's came up for his birthday. Since a trip up here for mom, Maris, and Chaela wasn't working out do to sports, I made an appt. Saturday afternoon to try on MY DRESS for the first time and I took Nate's mom with me!! I had always planned and even told her I wanted to take her dress shopping WITH me (since she only has boys), but the 1st time my mom and Chaela came up here to go shopping was the time I found my dress. Everything happened pretty fast. So, I thought this was a perfect chance for just her and I to spend a little time together...and by "little" I mean it really only took like 15 minutes! Good news: She loved the dress!!!!! And I still love it too!!!! Alterations on it will be coming about June/July and until then, it will be safely stored at the store.

 Nate and I went for a jog on Tuesday.....that's right, Nate's jogging!!!! I know, it scared me a little bit too. We weren't gone that long, but it was long enough to get my out of shape heart pumping! I guess he thought we were racing (I think it's in his blood!), because later in the night he says to me "I was only going half speed and still beat you." FYI: We were NOT racing.

 Heading home this weekend and I can't wait! Saturday morning Nate and I have our 1st meeting with our pastor. I told Nate I felt like we should study! (I'll let you guys know how that goes.) Then Saturday afternoon Maris, Amanda, Kim, and I are going to look at bridesmaid dresses!! I went with Alli once already up here in Indy and really enjoyed not being the one changing 100 times! Chaela has her first track meet so she won't be able to join us this time either. But....still very much looking forward to it!!! Saturday night we're heading over to Grandma's for her and Tyler's Birthday dinner. Since we started condensing these dinners, each one of them means a little more to me!!

 I don't have any new pictures to share right now (hopefully I'll have some after this weekend!), so I'll leave you with a "little" To Do List to made up yesterday.....that we NEED to get started on!!
