The calm after the storm..

This week was truely amazing.
Looking back on the pictures and memories made, we are so lucky to have such great people in our lives.

After all the stress, worries and tears these last months, this week was more than we could have ever expected and hoped for. Many thanks for the love, gifts and support we have received from everyone, and all the hard work that was put into making Saturday so special.

We cannot wait to start this journey together.

"Give thanks and praise for good things you found,
humble people not ashamed nor proud,
and always try to keep your feet on the ground and love yourself.."

T.J.'s Knee

We went for a follow up to his MRI yesterday--

NO SURGERY! Everything looks intact, ligaments are fine, no tears, a little fluid on his knee and a basic sprain is present. Its basically scar tissue and irritated from his previous surgery.

Whats next: Taking it easy for the next few months, no sports or rough activity. No therapy needed, but I think I may schedule a few visits to get him some strength training. He can return to work Monday and officially after next weeks vacation.

Thank God! This would have been a strain on us and I am so thankful everything is okay!

No onto the next adventure: Mom comes to Boston!!!

Heat Wave Retreat!

New England and the Boston area has been in a heat wave the past few days--temps of 100 and hot thick humidity! The past few mornings I have gotten up to leave for work at 8:00 and its already 85 degrees outside! Thank goodness for our AC! We took a trip to Nantasket beach yesterday evening-cooled off a bit and took some pictures. here are a few of our favorites! We also stopped by my favorite windmill in the area and caught a beautiful shot!

Caricature T.J.

T.J. had his MRI today-hopefully we will hear something back quickly in regards to what needs to be done. Hopefully NO SURGERY!!!!
This is from T.J.'s friend Justin who works for FUN Ent. (our side job company). He was working a job this weekend and brought this home-I was suprised and rather amused!

Reception update! (Panic mode!)

So a reality check came this last week--3 weeks to go until we have pull off a fun night for 100+!

We met with the DJ on Wednesday evening, it went well, he was very professional and I think that hes going to make the evening a really fun time! He took our suggestions and gave us a few of his own and together we came up with an eventful 5 hours. :)

I have shopped and made final decisions about the centerpieces, all I have to do is gather the #'s needed and go shopping! Our cake appt. is on Wednesday, so hopefully we can agree on a flaor and simple design for that.

My "newlywed" non-bachelorette party is set for the Friday before--I'm not sure whats planned but all I know is there is a party bus involved! So we'll see...!

Mom is set to come in 2 weeks! And my friend Codi will be here on the 25th! We are really trying to get our home all ready for everyone thats coming to visit--we are about satisfied with everything.

Things are coming along------!!

Wedding Shower 5/17

Update: Chaos...where is my Clarity!!?

The apartment is coming along nicely..we have about 75% of the painting done, the bathroom is about there, it just needs a door frame and sealant on the tile. We have pretty much unpacked most of our things, and put away all of our nice shower goodies.

Its getting to feel more like home now, and I'll be willing to post pictures of it now!

We have experienced a little bump in the road. T.J. had a little collision in his softball game this last Friday evening, and a guy landed on his bad knee. We tried to stick it out in hopes it would get better, but no such luck. We went to the ER yesterday, got an X-Ray and some pain meds to help him out until his Orthopedic appt. on monday. Nothing is broken, just possibly a torn "something". So he will be out of work for awhile. Hopefully we will have some answers this next week as to what needs to be done.

I'll keep it posted on here, and get some photos up of the place and shower.

XOXO
