Hello Hello.... It's been a while since I last posted something. Jeremy and I have been super busy with work and school. We have just started on our wedding plans... Everyone has been asking how things are going so I thought that I would update my blog!!

Wedding Date: August 13th 2011 (tentative)

Grooms Party:Marcus Kawakami (BM), Jon Berkley(BM), Matt Schaab, Mike Schaab, Nick Venetico, Rich Houston, Kevin Phillips, Brian Krier, Tyler Phillips

Wedding Dress: CHECK!!!....I was not expecting to find my dress but, for my 27th birthday my mom and my dad took me to Macy's on State street Downtown Chicago. ( They watch Say YES to the dress, so they wanted to experience finding the dress with me!) It was always a dream of mine to look at wedding gowns there. The salon is absolutely beautiful and the staff there makes you feel so important. I tried on about 4 dresses and I thought they were all beautiful, but when I tried on my gown the feeling was overwhelming. as soon as I saw myself in the mirror I immediately began to cry. It hit me all of a sudden, I felt like Oh My God! I'm getting married!!! I turned to my mom and she was crying too... That's when I knew this was the dress!
We will let you know how AZ went and we will post some Pictures!!

Engagment Party @ Howl at the MOON

November 20, 2009 Jeremy & I celebrated our engagement at Howl at the Moon with some of our friends and family. Here are just a few pics from that night.

MOH B-Day Bash!

We went out to Social 25 for the MOH (maid of honors) 27th Birthday Bash!! Had a Blast!!

We are Engaged!!

It was our 10 year wedding anniversary and Jeremy took me out to dinner to Japonias our favorite Japanese restaurant in Chicago. After dinner we retrieved the car from valet. I thought we were on our way home until Jeremy said, "Do you want your gift now?" I said, "I thought dinner was the gift. He then told me to look in the sun glass holder in his car. I opened it and there was a blindfold in it. He said put the blindfold on, so I did. Jeremy drove around the city for about 10 minutes. He parked the car and then opened my door and handed me flowers. He then helped me walk 3 more blocks and placed me in the perfect spot. He removed my blind fold and said you once told me that this was one of your favorite spots in the city. It was, It was the board of trades building on Lasalle street, it was all lit up, we were standing in the middle of the street on the island. He then got down on one knee and pulled out the ring and he asked me to Marry him. I immediately said YES!! All of a sudden my family and his family came running down the street, they were there the whole time watching us taking pictures. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect proposal. It was a Dream Come True!!

This is Jeremy & I
