You and Me

I absolutely love this song. It's incredible. At the risk of sounding like a 16 year old teeny bopper, here are the lyrics and a link to the video

Wanna pack your bags, Something small
Take what you need and we disappear
Without a trace we'll be gone, gone
The moon and the stars can follow the car and then when we get to the ocean
We gonna take a boat to the end of the world
All the way to the end of the world
Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We're gonna teach them to fly
You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yes, yes
You and I, we're not tied to the ground
Not falling but rising like rolling around
Eyes closed above the rooftops
Eyes closed, we're gonna spin through the stars
Our arms wide as the sky
We gonna ride the blue all the way to the end of the world
To the end of the world
Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We're gonna teach them to fly
You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yes, yes
We can always look back at what we did
All these memories of you and me baby
But right now it's you and me forever girl
And you know we could do better than anything that we did
You know that you and me, we could do anything
You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yeah, yeah
Two of us together, we could do anything, baby
You and me together yeah, yeah
Two of us together yeah, yeah
Two of us together, we could do anything, baby
To reach the end of the world

"Free At Last"

everyone should watch this in its entirety at least once in their life.

Making List, Checking it Twice

I've always been a fan of making lists and an even bigger fan of checking things off my to-do list. I even have a notebook that holds all my daily/weekly to-do lists. So needless to say with planning a wedding I have been making lists & then crossing things off the list. Most of the big things are finished:

• Ceremony & Reception location (I am super excited about the reception - the venue is perfect!)


• Wedding dress & veil - which I can't show you a picture of. Surprisingly I got the dress from David's Bridal. I found an awesome veil online at an Etsy store (that website it awesome!!)


• Groom/Groomsmen Attire - check it out. I decided to go with suits instead of tux's - too formal is not my style.


• Bridesmade dresses - the girls have told me they will wear them again. I'll believe it when I see it - but they do have pockets, which make them super awesome!


• Liz Shea is going to be doing the photography. I am SO excited by this - she is a dear friend and I absolutely LOVE her photography.


• Invitations are still being worked on, but my uncle Gary & aunt Pam have done an INCREDIBLE job with the designs they have shown me so far. I think they really capture the essence or our wedding & personalities.


• I got an incredible hook up for a cake - a mother of one of my swimmers has connections with Johnson & Wales and introduced me to a girl who will be making our cake.


• La-Tea-Da's is catering our event - you know Klebers LOVE to eat, so the food will be delicious. I just hope Michael & I will have a chance to eat the tasty treats. We will be having a cocktail hour with 2 passed apps; a carving station that includes NY Strip, Turkey, roasted veggies & rolls; a make your own pasta station with 2 sauces, Italian sausage, grilled chicken, and veggies; dessert bar and cupcakes. MMMMmmmmm......


• AGAPE is DJing our event - the DJs name is Russell. We've heard lots of good things about him. Everyone tells me that the DJ can either make or break your event - so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.


• We've also started working on wedding decorations. I've found some great ideas that I'm copying from etsy & http://www.stylemepretty.com/ (a great wedding blog that I highly recommend). Here's a few pictures of some of the decorations we have started on (mad props to mama Klebe, Kristie Honea & Kendra Sands for their help in this department)

Michael has been put in charge of the honeymoon (obviously) and finding us a place to live. I must say he deserves mad props because he did an incredible job in both areas. We are taking our honeymoon in the Dominican Republic at an all inclusive resort. I am so excited about this!

He has also found us a place to stay - the name of the apartment complex is called Spectrum. I am so excited about this place - it is absolutely gorgeous, has great amenities, is brand new, very safe & secure, and located in South End (a few blocks from Pike's Old Fashioned Soda Shop & the Light Rail - I have a feeling a lot of people will want to come visit us!). Finding a place to stay really made getting married real to me - I just keep thinking "WOW! we are gonna live her together!" (and I can't wait :)

I love this man so much - can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him! Happy New Year!
