Introducing "The New Mrs. B"

Well, I'm married so it's a great time to change the name of my blog. Let me introduce the New Mrs. B. She is still the same crazy funny love Abi. But this time she is married to a wonderful Mr. B.

Mr. B and I returned from our honeymoon yesterday and this morning I took him to the airport. So I'm "Free" for about 10 days. He teaches an International High School Exchange Camp with EF in Boston at Stonehill College. While he is teaching culture to Europeans & Latinos, I'll be playing it up in Omaha. Not really! I have to return back to work on Monday and Orientation starts Thursday!

I'll attempt get my vendor reviews and the review of our wedding and honeymoon up as soon as possible. In the mean time you can read all about our wedding weekend and see some pictures at my girlfriend's blog. Erin has add some great commentary to the day. Plus our photographer, Don Lee, has already added some pictures to his site! I'm really happy with Don's work! We even have our picture on his website homepage. How cool is that!?!?!?

Okay, that enough for now. Enjoy! And I'm know I'll be posting more later.

love,
the new Mrs. B

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is the anniversary of the hottest day on record in St Louis. It was July 14, 1954. My dad was born on the hottest day EVER! It's amazing that my grandmother was able to get birth without A/C. There are two things my sister and I heard as kids.

1. The weather guy always announcing my dad's birthday.

2. There is NEVER a Cardinals baseball game on his birthday (All-Star Break) A few years ago his birthday was the weekend before the All-Star Break and we were able to take him to a game. So he HAD been a game on his birthday.

Tonight we're flying to STL and having dinner with my family to celebrate.

This photo was taken in September tailgating at the Missouri State v. K-State Football game. Of course KSU kicked the crap out of MSU. But we all had a great time. My sister is a now grad of K-State. The only non-Bear in the family.

Happy Birthday!

baseball & wedding

I have always loved baseball, especially the St Louis Cardinals. My wonderful Omaha-native finance doesn't love baseball as much as me. However, he does put up with my obsession with the Cardinals. And I'm learning to love the Huskers. Even if I cheer on Mizzou or K-State when they play the Huskers. I enjoy college football and sports in general so we get along pretty well when we watch sports. I'm still working on the college basketball appreciation of March Madness. Give me time.



But a little know fact about this die-hard Cards fan.....my first major league game was not a Cardinals game. Shocking, I know. Of all teams it was the Royals! Yes, the KC Royals. I've never lived in KC and I'm not quiet sure why my parents (also Cards fans) took me to a Royals game. But As you can see from my expression, I'm enjoying watching the game with my family. Game was in July of 1984. We had really close seats on the third base side. I only know this because of other photos that were taken during the game.





As a good Cardinal fan, I'm super excited to include the Cardinals in the wedding weekend!!! Next Friday night we have group tickets with our family and friends to enjoy the baseball game the night before the wedding.



Some of you might think I'm crazy for going to the game. But the way I see it, I can't do anything more the night before the wedding and whatever is done will be done by the time of the first pitch.

What are you doing might be a little crazy to include in your wedding weekend?

What a great weekend!

We've got only 12 days today. Andy and I had a great holiday weekend. I finally feel like the house is "OUR HOME" and that we are so close to the wedding it's crazy. After today, I only have 5 more days of work until I'm on wedding/honeymoon vacation. Thanks be to God!!!

4th of July was a great block party at our house. As always, we cooked some awesome brats and had family and friends to share in the fireworks. Our friend, Theresa and her boyfriend Mike had his two sons with him. His sons are 7 and 4 years old. The 4 year old was lighting more fireworks than the adults!!! It was very hard to watch at first. But Ben better than our crazy drunk friends light off fireworks.

Saturday night we went back to middle school. The neighbor invited us over for block party leftover as their house. Then one thing lead to another and we were sitting on top of our roof watching fireworks. Yes, the same roof Andy put on about 3 weeks ago. We needed to check it out. Then before I knew it we were tee-peeing the neighbors house and shooting a possum with a be be gun. Right!??! My Saturday night was unforgettable.

Sunday we unpack shower gifts and put the house together. Yeppie for being so close to the wedding!

It's JULY 2008!

Yes, it is really here! The month of our wedding. WOW!

Now back to work... only 18 more days or 8 more working days.

Let's Celebrate!
