Wedding Details

Well its less than two weeks til my single life comes to an end. The big stuff is all taken care of but the little details drag on..... Its like when you are moving. And you think you have most everything, but then the little stuff takes forever..... Our wedding is going to be super simple - nothing extravagant - no bridesmaids, no groomsmen, just us and our parents. But even still - there are lots of little details. So one of the minor details i have been thinking about - is what music to play at the reception. Just for background music - this is where i need everyone's input. I thought about it as i looked at my sister Lauren's blog and the song "True" by Ryan Cabrera was playing... I thought to myself, this would be a good song to add to the mix.. So - all those who have asked what they can do to help - please provide your fabulous ideas. I need your input!

The Cornhusker State

So - as most of you know - just after getting married, James and I are moving to Lincoln, Nebraska. Change-overload!! It will be an adjustment but i think a really good move. For those who have never been to Lincoln, now you have a reason to go. James keeps saying - " I want us to have a really cool apt/house where people want to come visit/stay with us." So you are always welcome! Lincoln really is a great town - not too big, not too small. Lots of pride - but in a good way. They are all about Husker Sports. The downtown is so fun. And there are bike trails everywhere all over the city. And a few other interesting facts about Nebraska....

Nebraska has more miles of river than any other state.

The 911 system of emergency communications, now used nationwide, was developed and first used in Lincoln, Nebraska.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have been to a record 27 consecutive bowl games and 27 consecutive winning seasons (James' dad was on the team for at least 2 of those winning seasons!)

In Blue Hill, Nebraska, no female wearing a 'hat that would scare a timid person' can be seen eating onions in public.

The largest porch swing in the world is located in Hebron, Nebraska and it can sit 25 adults.

In 1950, Omaha became the home of the College World Series.

So there you have it....come visit for the College world series, or to bike along the many river trails, or sit with 24 other adults on the largest porch swing! Whats not to love!?

Babies!!!

Yesterday both my sister Holly and my best friend Heidi had their babies!!! Holly named her little boy Jensen Brian Rawlings and Heidi named her first little girl Audrey Leilani Sherman. Both are miracle babies in their own way - Heidi and Jason have tried to have kids for 10 years. They have done every kind of fertility treatment you can imagine! This baby will never wonder if it was wanted! And Holly has had complications with all of her pregnancies and lost her last baby. Jensen has given them several scares over the months but he is healthy and happy! Heidi is here in Arizona so we were able to go visit them at the hospital yesterday. Here are some pictures!

Violated

Last week i had my car broken in to and my purse stolen! They busted the passenger side window and grabbed the purse from the floor. I was in the gym for abou 30 minutes and came out to find i had been violated!! The random part is that exactly the same time i found all of this, my phone stopped working without warning at all ( i had the phone with me). So i had trouble trying to make calls to get credit cards stopped, etc. Luckily we got all of that taken care of within an hour or so and we discovered that the new credit cards that James had given me (from his credit card accounts) with 'Heather Janssen' on them - had already been used by the criminals who did the deed. Those dirty dogs. Anyways, a word to the wise - be extra careful at the gym... I never thought about it much, but apparently i have heard since, that this a huge hot spot because people don't usually take everything in with them. On a positive note - my phone started working (randomly) again on Tuesday. So i went a week of being phoneless and moneyless relying on my generous sugar daddy but now i've got credit cards and debit cards back so i'm on a spending spree to celebrate!

Everything's bigger in Texas

We spent the last three days in Texas - San Antonio area. James' grandma lives in San Antonio and his uncle lives in the area as well. We spent time with their family friends in Boerne and Fredricksburg but we also visited Luchenback, TX and Bandera, TX. We saw the San Antonio temple, spent time at the famous Riverwalk and also the Alamo. It was great to get a small taste of Texas living. The people are so great!!

Lots o News

I haven't posted in a month now and a lot has happened!!! Almost 3 weeks ago i got engaged!! I have discovered that i am not the type to shout it on the mountain tops...its taken me this long to update my blog. We were in Nebraska this past weekend for James' ten year HS reunion. Good times! Kind of randomly, his sister's best friend went out with us to take a few pictures to see if there was any we could use for our engagement photos. In between photo shoots she took some of us playing around.... Kinda fun. We are getting married Sept 27th in the Mesa Temple!
