Scrapbook Pages

Well I have been a busy bee lately, I actually have felt somewhat motivated to get things done, if you know me this is not a common thing. I would much rather be watching reality TV and bashing them with the help of my mother. (Love you mom)

But lately I have found myself scrapping away in my bright and somewhat smelly scrapbook room. I want to get this scrapbook done, and say finally after scrapbooking for six years I have finished a scrapbook, it would be a big accomplishment.

So here are the latest pages I have done, you may notice the "Mom and Me" page may sound a bit off, you are taught in school that when talking about a friend or a mother you say My mom and I, Well that is the beauty of scrapbooking I can say whatever I want! I can break the rules of grammer and still make it look nice. I have an explanation of why I did it on my journaling but its personal and I am already allowing people to be nosey by reading my blog. :)

so here are my pages.. Enjoy!

Bars, Men and Bachelorettes

Well, Saturday prove to be an interesting night. We went out for my future sister-in-laws bachelorette party. It started off innocent enough with dinner at a Mexican resturant and then it turned a bit south. The resturant is set on the waterfront where families come in to enjoy a burrito or some nachos, not a group of 10 rowdy girls drinking from penis straws. Lets just say looks in our direction were not friendly. We were loud, obnixous and I can bet once we left the place was much quieter.

After dinner, we headed back to the hotel for some penis cookies and a rising game of "Pick of dicks" whatever happened to getting dinner, toasting the new bride and calling it a night? For me it was past my bedtime. (Yes sadly, I am getting old)

We headed downtown where we were met with of course, loads of college students all wanting to get a piece of the bachelorette with her sash that read in classy letters "Future Mrs. Engstrom" Wasn't that my last name not to long ago? A bit odd.

We drank, we watched Jenny get drunk off of Tequila and then I was left... The bridal party had left the bar without their other bridesmaid. So I was alone in Burlington trying to find the rest of the 10 girls walking around Church Street, you would think it would be an easy task with all the girls having cell phones, well needless to say after searching, getting odd looks and constantly having my cell phone to my ear I found them. I was told I needed to take care of Erik and Jennys dog and be on "Shit duty" as her bridesmaids told me as I needed to go clean their dogs "shit" Well that was the end of the night.

As I was driving home I was thinking of my own party before I got hitched. I was riding a mechincal bull with my future husband watching proudly as his slightly intoxicated wife to be gets on a huge smelly stuffed beast to ride it like the wind. Now that is my kind of party!!!

Oh well, she is soon to be my sister-in-law and we will do anything for family, except pick of dog pooop!

Scrapbooking

Well this whole blog thing will not be ALL about me, well actually it will. But I will be keeping track of my scrapbook pages as well, if I couldn't get any dorkier, is that a word? yes, I scrapbook everything from flowers to weddings (I AM MARRIED!) So check back here to see my pictures update every once in awhile!

Here are a few pictures from my wedding album that i am quite proud of and it is not even close to being done!

Welcome all..

Yes, I have decided to join the dark side and start a blog, who wants to read about me you ask? Probably no one but Nick and I.. But hey, I figure that there has got to be SOMEONE out there that at least is curious as to what we are doing... *Cough Nosey people Cough* :)
In any event, Nick and I are settling nicely into being married. Who would have thought I would get married? Not me that is for sure, but lo and behold Katy tied the note not to be out done by her big brother who is set to get married 5 months after his baby sister.
Things are going well, we are still fighting on where to live, where we stop, no one knows.. That is including me. Vermont is where we live, where we have family and yet we are antsy to explore and see what else is out there. Luckily or I guess unluckily Nick has the same feelings although our ideas of where to go are only slightly different. I want sun and sand, Nick wants snow and wildlife.. Where can we find a compromise? His compromise is well, we can move to Alaska and live on the ocean, only problem is SNOW.
But it really is not determined where we will end up, we are trying for a baby (Yea!) so when that little sucker comes out, who knows where we will decide to be? Considering our family is here, always will be here and will never leave.
It will be interesting to see what comes up, all I know is we have a wedding coming up in just under three weeks... After all these weddings what are we going to do with all our free time? Dare to dream!
