Just 10 days to go!

Thank you for visiting our blog! It's a good thing when I don't have time to post because that means I'm not bored at work! However, I'm also a blog stalker, so I apologize to those of you who check back often and I haven't posted anything.

The countdown is nearly in the single digits. We've been working to tie up some loose ends and we are anxious for the big day to get here. Since the last post a lot has happened! How about some bullets to tell you all about it.

• Trever, his groomsmen and ushers spent an evening in Champaign for the bachelor party. He had a great time, and I enjoyed his stories when he got home at 2 a.m.
• We celebrated Grandpa Ficklin's birthday
• We met with our photographer.
• I spent 2 days at Allerton Park for the Illinois State Envirothon
• I had a practice appointment for my hair
• Trever was a movie star in an Angus video.
• We were showered with kindness by the members of the Bellflower United Methodist Church
• Conservation Day for Ford County 3rd graders went off without a hitch
• I spent 4 days in the middle of nowhere learning about how to identify historic and pre-historic remains if I find them in someones field.
• I planted the garden
• I had the final fitting for my wedding dress

And here I am now!

Gettin' down on the farm!

Trever put me to work last weekend and his mom took pictures to prove it! We slick sheared 4 cows and have 3 more to go! I even put the halter on one of the cows, even though I got it stuck behind her eye instead of behind her ear. I'm learning!

Shower time!

We've got less than a month now! I've been getting cleaned up and ready for the big day. Here are a bunch of pictures commemorating the last few weeks in the world of wedding planning.

This shower was hosted by mom's friends Lori and Ruth. The picture is of the quilt my grandma made for me. It's beautiful! And you can see Sweet Pea St. Peters in between me and the camera :)

This is Ruth, me, Mom & Deb. Ruth and Deb lived with Mom in college.

The next shower was hosted by Erin in LeRoy. Everything was awesome. There was great food, pretty flowers, lots of friends and some great smelling candles!

The shower started with a mixer. We each had a name on our back and had to find our partner. Kyla got to be her brother!

Probably the most interesting game I've played at a shower. Eeryone had to draw a picture of Trever, in his underwear, on their head. Apparently Ria was cheating since her paper is on the table!

This was one of many super cool gifts we've gotten so far. Thanks Dani!

Then came the bachelorette party. The first stop was to give our balls a roll!

This picture is to prove the Kyla kicked our butt. But with all those K's on the board who knows if it was Kyla, Kathy or Krista that won.

The next clue had something to do with up and down and up and down...off to the carousel we went!

The whole crew...minus Ria.

The hottie we met at Jupiters.

I love mullets!

Then it was back to the hotel for some more games! Kara (aka Spider Monkey) was on target with her wienie.

I even cheated and my future-mother-in-law beat me!
