That is precisely how many more minutes until Ben and I are married.

Yes, I just figured it out:)

My apologies to anyone who has visited the blog lately. Since we finalized our July 3rd wedding day, we've been extra busy trying to put invitations together and finish up last minute details. And, things are only going to get busier. Ben's aunts are visiting next week, Ben starts his first in-class summer school class the following week, I get to cover for several people at work who are taking vacations, and the Ben has one more week long class right before the wedding. Even though we've been busy and will be busy, we had time to attend Studio's graduation, celebrate Ben's birthday and make a trip to Wausau for Memorial Day weekend. Hopefully, when things settle down at the end of July we'll have fun things to put on the blog, and until then...don't be sad there's nothing to read here.

Last Weekend

Ben and I enjoyed being able to actually spend time together last weekend. We went to Ethan and Jessica's wedding and visited with the Allred aunts, uncles, and cousins.

This is about when Emily said, "Would you two stop being so mushy?"

And stopped by Hamline to give Mom and Dad a tour of where Ben spends most of his time.

This upcoming (as in tomorrow!) weekend is the big weekend! Ben's birthday is on Sunday, and he is really excited for it! He enjoyed an early birthday present from Mom and Dad (come visit to see it) and has a pretty cool one waiting for him on Sunday.

Finally!

Today I finally saw a Minneapolis landmark that I have been searching for the entire time I've lived here: the famous Spoonbridge and Cherry. I got really excited when I saw it outside of my car window as I was driving to work. Now, I'll just have to actually see it not from the road and not through the trees.

Other than that excitement, things are pretty low key these days. Ben studies and takes finals, and I go to work. However, there are some exciting things coming up later this month. I'll make sure to share the fun.

Horoscopes

This is my horoscope for tomorrow:

Just how long has it been since you indulged in a big helping of your favorite guilty pleasure, Aquarius? It's time to let the youngster in you come out and play today. Eat that chocolate, read those mindless magazines or skip down the sidewalk. You've been taking life much too seriously lately. Even grownups are entitled to indulge in the pleasures of youth from time to time.

Uh-oh. I guess that means Ben might have to watch some JAG with me....


I don't go by these horoscopes. I read the Star Trib's horoscopes by Holiday Mathis, and boy does she ever know how to read the stars.


And, I don't take them seriously, people. It's just something we can have a good laught at for five minutes at work everyday.
