2012 Recap

2012 you will not be forgotten. This year has been full of exciting and new adventures.

::January::
We rang in the new year in Park Falls with Justin's dad and grandpa. On January 4th we celebrated our 6 month anniversary. We went to Sarah and Elliot's wedding!

::February::
I had my first real Valentine's day!! I tried to win over my co workers by being as nice as possible. Failed miserably. Justin took me on the best date of my life!

::March::
I cut my hair and the hate for my job was at an all time high. Then March 4th, 2012 Justin took me on a horse drawn carriage ride, walked me into the Pfister, pulled me aside, got down on one knee, and asked me to marry him. One of the best moments of my life. The wedding planning began!

::April::
Justin celebrated his 21st birthday. My grandparents celebrated 60 years of marriage! I bought new glasses. Had my last Easter at home and bought Justin an awesome Easter outfit.

::May::
I said goodbye to the worst job I've ever had and said hello to a new wonderful adventure as a personal banker. I made new friends and I'm so thankful for them. Mother's Day I got to put falsies on my mum!

::June::
We witnessed the marriage of our good friends Sara and David! I became slightly obsessed with flower crowns and wedding planning was put aside, foolishly.

::July::
We took Hallie to Noah's Ark with Taylor and Aunt Karen. We went to 2 weddings! They were both huge weddings and so beautiful! I celebrated my 2-2 birthday with Lorelai! I continued to put wedding planning aside.

::August::
My sister/maid of honor Kelly and my mom through me an amazing vintage Bridal Shower!! Wedding planning finally hit me with a vengeance. Justin's Aunts put together a tea party bridal shower for me! Benton celebrated his birthday and baby Asher arrived in the world! We started our condo purchasing adventure.

::September::
Justin got to visit grandma June's house for the first time! My favorite place on earth. Work became really crazy the same time wedding plans were crazy and I ended up with a weird form of mono. Bethany and Elise (my 2 wedding angels) came to the rescue. Would have died without them! We bought a condo!! Most stressful experience of my life.

::October::
I had an awesome bachelorette party and rehearsal dinner. October 6th, 2012 I married my best friend! Best day of my life. I wouldn't have changed a thing. We went to Disney World for our honeymoon!! Moved into our condo, bought new couches, and started life as a married couple. Celebrated sweetest day. Had fun family fall day. Went trick or treating and dressed up!

::November::
Voted. Was disappointed. Celebrated Thanksgiving, twice! Went black Friday shopping. Mounted our little TV. Broke our little TV. Bought giant TV. Mounted TV.

::December::
Started painting our house! Celebrated St. Nick. Hosted a surprise birthday party for Guy! Had a staycation. Went Christmas shopping! Hosted a christmas party. Wrapped lots of presents. Watched Pitch Perfect probably 100 times. Opened lots of presents. Thoroughly enjoyed our first Married Christmas! Christie slept in our closet, twice. Bought Justin a brand new car!! Tonight we are celebrating the New Year!!

This year has definitely been my favorite! I cannot wait to see what next year brings!!

Happy New Year! Goodbye 2012.

Just in case you miss me....

Still loving life.

Random ramblings on Wednesday

Tomorrow is my favorite holiday of the year! Ok every holiday is my favorite but thanksgiving is my all time favorite!

I'm finally picking out paint colors for our condo. Finally!

My bridesmaid Tracie is now engaged!! Let the planning begin!!

Did you know in the state of Wisconsin you can marry your first cousin as long as one of you can prove you're sterile? Sickest thing ever right? I thought so too.

Thank you cards are thee most stressful thing I've ever encountered in my LIFE! Especially when people ask for them...really? I'll thank you when I'm ready. Cool it.

Christmas is almost here and I feel like a kid again I'm so freakin pumped. I can't wait to decorate my own place!!

I've decided I want a pomeranian puppy and a baby fox. Justin refuses to buy me either. Mean husband. I told him I wouldn't take care of them and if they died that really wouldn't bother me either. Somehow that didn't convince him.

And for my last thought of the day: I buy a new outfit for thanksgiving every year and I'm pretty jazzed for this years ensemble.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Dear Husband,

I'd be lost without you, literally.

Thank you for secretly buying me the shoes from target I wanted.

Thank you for getting me a glass of water before bed each night.

Thank you for building our entire bedroom set on top of working full time and going to school full time.

Thank you for setting up a projector in our room so we can watch shows in bed.

Thank you for putting on the fireplace when I'm cold.

Thank you for always being happy to see me when I get home from work.

Thank you for being so understanding and putting my feelings before your own.

Thank you for being the best husband I could ever ask for.

I have so much to be thankful for this November!

Happy Halloween!

Love,

The Kobus'

(formally known as little red riding hood and a lumberjack.)

Married.

Oh hey, remember when I had a blog?

I'm married now. It's official. The insanity is over. The biggest adventure of my life so far has begun. More details to come. Just a quick hello. (To Julia because I'm pretty sure she is the only one who will read this)

xoxo.

Did you know...

My fiancé is a model.

Knitting is therapeutic

On crazy days like today if I knit while I work I keep my sanity. Bless Bethany for teaching me.

Oh ya know

Just me being awesome. YOLO!

Yes, I have lost my mind.

Life

Found out today that from now until my wedding I am required to work at least 50 hours a week. I'm still trying to close on our condo. Trying to finish all the last wedding details. All while trying not to lose my mind. Wish me luck.

Is it October yet?

Isn't being in love the best?

We sure think it is.

funny fiancé

So I know I've said this one thousand times but Justin is the funniest guy ever. Even when he's not trying to be.

He has class last night and was going to come over after. I wanted to know what time to expect him so I texted him "eta?" he immediately responds with "estimated time of arrival" like I was asking him what it meant. I DIED!

The other night we wanted to go out to eat to celebrate our new condo and I told him we could go anywhere he wanted! What did he choose? TGIFridays! That man.

Did you know...

If you are a freak like me and happen to be allergic to both soy and dairy Starbucks will use your own almond milk!! I am in love with them again. I used to just suffer through it but now I can enjoy it like a normal person!

Wonderful Weekend

I had an absolutely wonderful weekend! My shower was beautiful and so nice! It was at Watt's Tea Room and oh my gosh was it nice! Justin's aunts did such a good job making it nice for me. I got so many great presents! My favorite was from my mom and sister. They bought me picnic supplies and they were all labeled. So cute!!

Then on Sunday Justin and I had a day to ourselves. We has every intention of going to church but SOMEONE ripped his pants and his undies were hanging out. It was pretty funny. He tried to sew them as fast as possible but we ended up missing church. Oops. So we went out to lunch and then saw a movie. I loved every second of it. Then we went home I slept (of course) and he watched a movie. When I woke up it was sunny but raining so we ran outside and danced in the rain. So much fun! Then we saw a double rainbow and my life was made complete. We ended the night watching the Burbs with my parents.

It was indeed a wonderful.

Plays with squirrels

Our new thing is watching Boy Meets World every night. I forgot how hysterical that show was! It's my favorite part of the day. We surround ourselves with blankets and pillows and laugh our heads off. Last night we watched the episode when Erik changes his name to "Plays with Squirrels". We were dying. Justin is OBSESSED with squirrels so it was extra funny. I seriously love that Justin is my best friend. He makes me laugh harder than anyone and I never get sick of him. It's the best.

In other news we are supposed to close on our condo in 12 days. Oh my gosh! I'm so pumped.

Wedding plans are coming along swimmingly. We have sent out our invites! If you didn't get one, sorry. It's a small wedding. Don't hate us forever.

I have my second wedding shower tomorrow hosted by Justin's aunts and mom. I'm really excited! It is so sweet of them to do this for me! It's at a fancy tea place! That reminds me I have no idea what I'm going to wear. SHOOT. too bad I'm poor and can't go shopping.

I've discovered that 90% of my job is activating check cards all day long. If you own a check card and need to call your bank to activate it, be nice to your banker. We don't want to hear your 16 digit card number as much as you don't want to read it over the phone. Also, please never forget your pin number. It's a headache for everyone involved. One last thing it takes time to make a card. I'm sorry I can't make one myself and deliver it to you personally in 5 seconds.

Moving on.

Pineapple + Nuetella = a delicious party in my mouth.

Oh hey, it's F R I D A Y !

It's Tuesday!

I have nothing of significance to say.

State Fair!

We love the fair. Well, I love the fair. Justin could live without it. I finally convince him to take me yesterday. We had the best time! We were only there a couple hours but that was enough. We people watched, ate tons of fatty food, and laughed our heads off. It made me even more excited for Disney with Justin.
