Fun Filled Weekend

This past weekend was so much fun for me and Kyle. We spent a lot of time with our family and had such a good time. On Friday Kyle and I both have the day off so that's the one day during the week that we get to spend all day together and we love it! This past Friday we found out Kristin was having another girl so while we were running errands we took a trip to my favorite store target and got a cute little outfit for our new niece and we couldnt leave Matti out so we got her one as well! =) i love having nieces it's so much fun spoiling them!! =) Friday night we had a family BBQ to celebrate the Blackhawks being in the finals. They lost game 4 but made up for it on Sunday with a sweet win! YAY! Kyle's family is a HUGE hockey fan so this is a big deal and I have grown to love it as well so it's fun! Saturday after work Kyle and I went out with my parents and sister for dinner and a movie. We saw Killers and let me just say that movie is a must see! if you havent seen it you should it's really funny! After the movie kyle got a call that his family was going bowling so of course we couldnt miss out on that so we went bowling and I had the worst games of my life! i got 80 my first game and it just got worse after that but we had such a fun time and Matti loved it as well! She was so cute when it was her turn to bowl. Kyle and I have such great families and we love when we get to spend time with them!!

pretty much the cutest niece ever! she loves her aunt carrie!

New Job

The day Kyle and I got home from out honeymoon I found out I was laid off from my job at V&V. It was kind of bitter sweet news. I was having a hard time being there due to office drama so when i found out I was excited but upset due to the timing of just being married. The lord really looks after us and answers our prayers though because within 2 weeks I had a new job and with the economy the way that it is right now I got really lucky. I love my new job! I am working as a receptionist for a marketing company and I love it! it is very laid back and my boss is so much fun to work with. For the 2 weeks I wasn't working I was going crazy! I got out new place put together and started on thank you cards but being home alone all day drove me nuts!!! I think I am just so used to working that being unemployed was really hard for me. I am so grateful to finally have another job I really am blessed!

The day before Kyle and I got hitched we went to downtown Las Vegas to take our groomals and we had the best time ever! we had so much fun playing around and we got a lot of cute pictures.

Planning our wedding has been such a piece of cake! Both of our families and friends have been such a huge help that everything just came together so well. I can't thank my family and especially my parents enough for being so helpful and supportive through all of this. My parents have been so great with making our wedding special and getting all the little details perfect for us. I love them so much and i really am going to miss living at home, watching tv, talking to my mom late at night because we both cant get to sleep, fighting with my dad for the remote, and so much more! I love my parents to death but I know that even though I am moving to the next step in my life I can always come home and visit them and believe me I will!! =) So this is a special thanks to my mom and dad for being such a huge help and with everything and especially for being such amazing parents. I love you guys so much and I cant thank you enough for all you do for me.
