misc things

These are some misc items that I recently got, Rob picked out the flutes, and I found the serving set and the guest book to match. I love them! In real life, they are soooooo pretty!! And, they all say "Mr. and Mrs. Kniskern, May 9, 2009"

our rings

Here are our rings, mine is a little hard to see, because there is so much bling on it....he he!! I love it, I also LOVE Rob's ring, his is a tungsten metal, so it's a little darker than most rings, but he picked it out and he loves it too. Mine is the same as the picture I posted a while back, just hard to tell, cause its sooooooo sparkly!!

bridesmaid dress colors

Here is Kim in her dress, this is what the bridesmaid's dresses will look like, this is just a dry run of her trying it on for the alterations person.

Rob's mom's dress

This is Cathy's dress, I just love it on her, she tried on another dress, but she fidgeted with it on, and when she came out in this one, her face lit up, that was good to see, and she likes it too! I think Rob will be pleasantly surprised when he see's his mom in this dress!!

my mom's dress

With and without the jacket....I love this dress on her! I looks soooooo nice! It's actually really sparkly too, you just can't tell from the picture.

V day

Happy Valentine's Day to all!!

blinded by the beauty of the G35

Hi Guys!! I just realized that I haven't written anything in a while, so I decided to write today....the last time, I wrote I was a little emotional, this time, I am stressed, to say the least...I guess it's my own fault, I am just really stressed that we are not going to have enough money to pay for everything for our wedding.....eeeeeekkkkk!!!!!! Its just getting closer and closer, and our money is getting lower and lower....and Rob is not getting many leads....rrrrrrgggggghhhhh!!!!!! Ok, thanks for listening, now I am better, anyway, I am still in the process of getting the invitations all put together and it's going ok, I (I should say "we", me and Cheryl) have folded everything, and put the invitations together, and tied all the bows, now all I have to do is get names written on the inner envelope, and then get them all stuffed!!!!! Rob and I got the maps printed, I actually figured most of it out, and then my bud helped me get the names on the streets, for some reason, I just couldn't get that part....Thanks Bud!!! You Rock!!!!! Ok, so, on to the reason my title is the way it is today, so there I was, just driving along, on Ridge Rd, here in the HP, and on my way to work, when I almost didnt make it TWICE!!!!! First, this lady, I swear she was looking right at me, decided to just drive over the double yellow line, and almost hit me head on! Luckily, there was a small shoulder area there for me to swerve to avoid her.....sheesh! Then, about 3 blocks later, a full sized yellow bus, where the driver was looking down and fidgeting with something, decided to do the same thing, but not as bad....he went back in his lane after realizing he was heading right towards me!! So, I have come to the conclusion that they must have been blinded by the beauty of my G35!!!!!!! Thats all there is to it, I mean, its pretty and all, and for the most part, kinda clean......that must be it!!!! he he! Let's see....what else is new, not much, I got some rooms reserved at the hotel for the wedding for any guests that want to stay. And, we got the maps printed and they even cut them out for us too!! That was great! On monday, I have to meet with the florist that we decided to hire, and change a few things and then give her the down payment to reserve our date....Oh, and Rob and I went to register at Bed Bath and Beyond, well, first I surely didnt leave enough time, and we so ran out of time, and only got a few things registered for.....so, on tuesday, we are going back, we will probably spend the whole day there.....there's lots of wish list stuff!!! So, our registry should be online, and soon it will be complete...exciting stuff!! But, can someone please explain to me while registering for stuff, why is it that if I want something, why Rob has to ask "what do you need that for?" or "are you really going to use it?" but when he wants to first say no, we dont need a toaster, but then sees one that is for 4 slices, decides that is the one that we MUST have!! Really? Men, I tell ya!! But I love him, and OMG, I can't believe that I am marrying him in less than 3 months!!!! He finally told me today that he is no longer nervous that everything goes well, he is now excited to get married and knows it will all go good. Well, I think I have written my fair share today, I am gonna go now and figure out what to do now for the next 2 hours, the time is soooooooooo sssssssssssslllllllllllllooooooooooowwwwwwww today!!!!!! Live, Laugh, Love!

Emotional night...

Last night was a bit of an amotional night for me, for some reason... I don't know how many of you keep up with or watch Grey's Anatomy, or Private Practice, well, Rob and I record those and watch them together when I get home on Thursday nights. So, after Rob was done complaining that my chai tea smelled gross, and covering his nose with his blanket and acting like the spoiled child that he is, we watched our shows, and apparently, last night was just not a good time for me to be watching a show where there was a lady on the show that had a brain aneurysm, but was alive and they were going to do surgery, and she would live, ok, so that pulls at my heart strings, because my Dad, he unfortunately was one who did not make it after a brain aneurysm. I miss him so badly, and I wish he was here to see everything for my wedding, cause I know that he would be proud, and be excited for me. And of course, I wish he was here to walk me down the aisle. It will be a sad and happy day all at once. So, then we were watching Private Practice, and there were some parents of a 10 year old girl that lost their house to foreclosure, and they couldn't pay for the girls upcoming surgery, so they abandoned her at the doctors office, and said they didnt want her anymore. Then later in the show, someone said, she has no parents! And that made me just cry and cry and cry, because that is the feeling I get from time to time, since my Dad passed away, and my mom ran away. I know I am 30, but it still hurts, I can only imagine what my sister and brother feel too, it's not good for any of us, but I know we all try our best to hide our feelings on a day to day basis. I just don't understand how my mom claims she wants to start our relationship over, but yet fails to call me or when she does call me, she is more interested in her boyfriend that she couldn't care less what I am saying. And I know what some of you are thinking that I should call her, but as the situation stands, it is not something that I did that made our relationship fail in the first place. Not only that, but I want to see how long it takes her to call me, seeing as though she said she wouldn't miss my wedding, and still hasn't called to ask anything about how it's going or anything. Not only that, but she is the mother of the bride, and she needs a pretty dress. We will see what happens. Well, I guess I should bite my tongue, I just listened to my messages on my cell phone and one of my messages was her, and she called! My mom called to see how things are going with me and with the wedding planning. WOW!!! That makes me happy, that it seems like she cares, especially because today is a day that I feel like she doesn't....it just gets to me sometimes, you know, most of the time I can block it out and pretend like it doesn't hurt me, even though it does. Either way, I know it takes a toll on all three of us, the fact that we lost our Dad, our rock that held our family together, our hero that protected us and showed us the way, and our teddy bear, because even though with Dad's long beard, he looked like he could be mean, but he surely was our teddy bear, he loved unconditionally, (and I know that for a fact, cause we all know I have made some stupid decisions in my life), and Dad loved me and was there for me no matter what!!!! And then, now the fact that our mom moved away to south carolina, and here we are, all of a sudden, in the same year, with no parents. I never thought I would be "that girl with no parents" but I am now. Like I said I know I am 30, and very much old enough to take care of myself, and fend for myself, and make my own decisions, however, it still feels good to have your parents here with you to talk to and ask questions to, and all of that. Not only that, but I do my best to help out my brother, and point him in the right direction on new things that he has never had to do before. He is doing a good job, and I must say better than I thought, he would be, but he is getting through, he just needs to find a new job now...that is the next step on Adam's journey. I must thank Cheryl, she is a GREAT helper, she so far has helped me with our invitations, she has helped fold, and fold and fold. Tomorrow is our day to tie, tie, and tie.....the ribbons that is. So, THANK YOU, Cheryl! You are awesome!! Even though I realize that I probably drive you crazy sometimes, you still like me! Yay!! Thanks! Thanks to all of you who are reading this, and giving me a reason to keep blogging! Live, Laugh, Love.

Potty Chills

WARNING!!!! This posting is going to be long! I have soooooo much to tell you all!!!!!! Ok, so where do I start? My weekend, which consists of the two wonderful days of Tuesday and Wednesday, yes, that's right the middle of the week...such fun! Well, let me just tell you, I had lots of wedding fun these past 2 days. First, on Tuesday, my brother came over, and we hung out while Rob ran a lead, that didn't work out, then we all went to the new tux shop called Formally Modern Tux. We met with a really nice and cool guy named Scott, and he showed us the colors that he had, which did not match my little swatch of my color that I had with, so he explained to us the new "trend" that consists of the groomsmen and best man wearing black vests and "pop" the color with the tie that they wear, so that is what we decided to do, the best man and groomsmen will wear a black tux, off white shirt, black vest and the color tie, the ushers will wear the same with a silverish tie, and Adam and Bob (Rob's dad) will wear the same but a black tie, and my wonderful groom will wear the black tux, off white shirt, ivory vest and ivory tie. I am actually really excited, I think the guys will look sharp! Then we went on to Hooters to eat some wings, and fried pickles! Yummy!!!! After that, we went bowling, but of course, we all did bad.....dont know why, well I shouldn't say that, Adam did decent, only one bad game, the other 2 were 170's games. Then, Adam and I went to the mall and ordered the serving utensils, champagne flutes and the guest book. That was fun, they will be here in about 2 weeks or so, can't wait! So, wednesday, I went to order the flower girl dress, so, while I was there, the lady told me that the bridesmaid dresses were in, and that they sent me a card to make an appointment to come and pick them up. So I asked if I could get them now, and she said yes, and your veil is here too, so I asked about the head piece, and guess what, that was there too, and she let me take it all home!!!!!!! Yay!!!! OMG, let me just tell you that it is getting more and more real as the days go by!! The bridesmaid dresses area BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! I asked Rob if he thinks they will look better than me, and he said I hope not, you are the bride, and you will be stunning! That was cute! So I told Rob that he could not see my headpiece, he told me that's not fair, and that he already can't see the dress, so I explained that it is part of the whole ensemble, so he said I am right and that he wants to be stunned! So, hopefully he will be!!!!!!!!!!! So, I'm gonna get a little gross here, but here I go........so, sometime during the course of those 2 days, Rob and I were getting in the car, and we were freezing, of course, and Rob shivered, and he said oh, that was like when you are done peeing and get the chills......I was really confused, so I didn't say anything, and just acted like ok, sure, that happens to girls too.......but then last night, I went to dinner with some of my old Hollister friends, Ada and Tim, and we were talking and that came up, and they guy that was there said the same thing, I was like wait a minute, this just came up with Rob and I and I don't get it , cause it doesn't happen to me, its just kinda weird.....and Ada agreed, it doesnt happen to her either, so I have decided either we are just weird, or this just happens to men! So, I told Ada that I was going to name my next post "potty chills" cause I guess thats what they are called.....WEIRD! Next, I would like to say that maybe I will be surprising Rob with my boots under my dress!! So far I have 4 out of 4 that say I should wear the boots!!! Yeah baby!! What else, oh, I just went and paid $200 in stamps for our invitations, so I can start putting them together!!! Probably with Cheryl's help! Thanks Cheryl! You are the best!! Fun stuff!! Good news, Rob talked to his dad yesterday, and he says in just the last week, he is feeling better, and moving around more, and can't wait to get out of the house, so we are happy, he is healing well!!! And can't wait to continue bowling with them on Tuesdays! I think that is all for now, I am gonna get going now, I have some stamps to be putting on envelopes!! Live, Laugh, Love!

Jewel says Hi!

Just a cute picture of my pup, just love her to pieces!

Taking a poll.....

So, I was thinking today that I should take a poll, and ask everyone what they think, I am really torn on what shoes I should wear under my dress... Should I wear these...nice black combat boots, or the, nice pretty ivory shoes????
