Easter Weekend

This weekend was really busy. Friday, Michael and I picked up our marriage license from the courthouse.....and we also opened up a joint bank account. Then Friday night I stayed up late working on the seating chart for the wedding.

Saturday I went down to kenosha and took my mom to the korean mega store, H mart in Niles, IL. She ordered traditional Deok, korean rice cakes, for my wedding. Then we grabbed lunch and did some grocery shopping there as well. Then we went back to my parent's house and I quickly make Pistachio torte and a lemon Tart for Easter Dinner the next day. Then Minhee picked me up and we drove down to Shaumburg, IL to spend the night with out friend Mijin. We all went out to eat at a super yummy Korean Kalbi restaurant and then stopped at Very Berry (a place that is just like Pinkberry) for dessert. I had Froyo with granola, chocolate chips, and bananas....it was great!

Then sunday we woke up and went to church, and had a yummy korean lunch that was catered in after the service. Then minhee and I headed back to kenosha for Easter dinner at my parents house. Michael drove down from milwaukee to join us and it was a great time. My mom made a fabulous turkey dinner, and the desserts were a hit. I hid Mia's Easter Basket and she found it with my help.

Then I stopped at minhee's house on my way back up to Milwaukee to help her with the favors that she is making for the wedding. Didnt get back to Milwaukee till 11:30pm.....so it was a very eventful weekend!

Spa Fun

Last night I had a facial appointment with my friend Karyn down at her spa in Kenosha. It was the most wondeful spa experience that I have ever had.....I am so lucky to have Karyn in my life. I ended up staying there for 2 and a half hours getting all kinds of additional pampering treatments.

She gave me my wonderful relaxing facial, along with a foot massage. She also gave me a paraffin wax hand treatment and hand massage. Next was my first microdemabrasion treatment which was very awesome......I can't not believe how SOFT my skin is....it's truely amazing! I then got the most awesome upper back and neck massage EVER.

I also got my legs and eyebrows waxed, as well as a lip renewal treatment.

I never knew I could feel soooooo relaxed and sooooo pampered.

Thanks Karyn!

Another great weekend 3/8/08

Friday Lesley came over to help me finish the scrapbook I was making for Mia's Birthday...I called it: My first 2 years. It turned out super cute. Then Lesley and I went to JoAnn Fabrics for like 3 hours.....we both got a lot of great stuff. Saturday I went dress shopping with my mom for my wedding, so that she could find a dress for her. Then Saturday night I worked on Mia's Birthday Cake for her party yesterday. The cake turned out pretty cute. I made it Dora themed since Dora is one of her favorite characters right now. The party was a lot of fun, Michael and I spent the whole day down in Kenosha yesterday. I can't believe my niece is 2 already!! The time has sure flown by!

My Weekend 3/3/08

We ordered our wedding cake on Friday.......from Mila's European Bakery. We decided to go with half cheesecake, half white cake, with raspberry filling in between. DELISH! Michael and I saw: Definately, Maybe later on that evening and we both liked it a lot. At first i thought it was going to be a super cheesey movie, but it turned out to be very good! You should see if if you get a chance. Saturday morning I went with Lesley to try on her wedding gown one last time before she ordered it....she looked amazing. Afterwards I headed to kenosha to spend the night with my family. I took Mia to target which was interesting.....everything she saw she pointed out and said: I want the pink one! So that was quite amusing. Then yesterday evening I headed back up to Milwaukee in time to meet Casey for the Billy Joel Concert! It was AMAZING! We had the BEST seats!!! IT was a wonderful experience and Billy put on a great show! :-)
