It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like a Kajewski Christmas...

Merry Christmas Bloggers! My favorite time of the year is approaching and today we are getting our first significant snowfall here in the TC. Not much here in the Kajewski household. I am still looking for jobs. This is not the time to be a graduate, undergrad or professional degree. Yes, story of my life! I have had two interviews. But that is two interviews in two months and I have applied to every single legal or legal related job I can find in the Iowa City/Omaha/Des Moines and even Wisconsin! So needless to say I am praying every night for employment. After the holidays Matt and I are planning on kicking our "Operation Adult Life" in to an even higher gear...

We have decorated our tree and wrapped some of our gifts to the fam. Matt and I love decorating the tree. We bought a smaller 6 foot tree a couple years ago and we decorate every year with the same ribbon, lights, and Christmas balls. It is a good enough tree to tie us over for a couple of years. I would love to have all Waterford Ornaments, but that is probably never going to happen because we are not the Rockefeller's. Here are some pics and video of of our decorating...


Our Tree


Matt and the Tree


Tree Decorating Kajewski Style

Last Saturday we headed to Amana to have an extended Christmas Celebration with the Waters family (Matt's Mom's side). It was fun as usual. We went to the Amana Christmas Prelude and looked at all the trees and saw Santa. Plus everyone brings some goodies and then we do a small gift exchange. Well I brought photo albums and a Columbia pocket knife/ multi-tool thing, a guy and a girl gift. In my head I thought any lady would like the albums and any guy would like the pocket tool/knife thing. Well Abrym (Matt's 4 year old Nephew), picked out the gift for his mom. Well of course he picked the pocket tool thing and he was in love! We couldn't get it away from him. He even had to have it hooked to his pants, which we told him he could do as long as he didn't open it....


Abrym and his pocket knife... obviously I am not ready for children..

So apparently I am not ready for parenting. I am guessing 4 year old's should probably not have pocket tool/knife things.. But hey I am learning. It's not like I wrapped it up and said, "Oh look Abrym, we thought you needed a pocket knife!" Live and learn I guess. (and for you mother hen's like Meghann out there, we did NOT let abrym have it or carry it around all night...you can close your mouth now meghann)

All in all it was a great weekend. I will continue on the job hunt, Matt will continue working (he better anyway), and we will keep all of you updated! In the mean time we will not give our nephews knives, but their parents are probably not going to be to happy that we may or may not have bought them all hulk hands for Christmas... (for you family members out there don't spoil it please!) Because when Matt and I thought of how we could celebrate the birth of Christ, we knew there could be nothing more fun than watching our nephews duke it out with huge hulk hands that make sweet noises!! Now that is Christmas!!


Merry Christmas!!

26 and Kicking

Sad day bloggers... I will be 30 in four years...oh how the mighty have fallen. Jk. I know most of you are older and went to college without FB, Cellphones, and you thought black pants and an oversized white blouse were dressing up to go out, but I didn't. I mean, I had lots of cool shirts I wore from Wet Seal, the Buckle, and lots of liquid eyeliner with glitter, don't be jealous. And now that is all so far away...and getting farther..


This is what 26 looks like...Rock it Out!


I wished for Peace on Earth and Good Will Towards Men like I do every year... jk.. let's be serious... We all know I wished I would be a size 6 again.. (only one stomach flu away...okay maybe 3, but still...)

To celebrate my first true grown up birthday I did nothing. Ray and I had a long (1:30-4:30) leisurely lunch that included cheese curds, wings, and beer...I know very grown up. Ray and I figured we usually each sit at our respective homes all day and talk to each other on the phone and complain about being broke and needing jobs, so why not do it in a restaurant? So today we decided to live out our dream of planning our day around lunch.. It was awesome! I came home, watched my DVR'ed Oprah, took a cat nap, and went out to eat again with Matt. I want to brag about my day for all of you with jobs and children. I know you want to scratch out my eyes for my decadent day, But Damn it.. A girl is only 26 once! This was all followed by some cake from one of my favorite places here in Saint Paul called Cafe Latte. They make this awesome Chocolate Turtle Cake with Pecans, Caramel, fudge...it is SO good.


We Get Cake!!

Well here is a video of what it is like to celebrate a Birthday in the Kajewski House. It might be a little disturbing, and please do not judge the fact that I am eating the frosting off the candles... I heart food..It is basically the reason I get up in the morning.. Well that and the fact my DVR will only record two shows at once, so I have to watch either Regis and Kelly, The Bonnie Hunt Show, or Ellen and record the other two..that's a big decision.. Oh and you will notice I am a little paranoid about my shirt and that is because I started to realize Matt was recording and I was not wearing a certain undergarment and I was worried some things might show.. Now that I am writing about this I probably shouldn't post it.. because that sounded dirty and it really isn't.. well you guys can judge.. I will take it down in a day, but I thought it was a good representation of what it is like when you are
26 and 30, married, and have no children. We basically have to find ways to entertain ourselves, and singing Happy Birthday like we are Mariah is one of them..


The Kajewski's Sing Happy Birthday

Trick or Treat and on to KC

It's been awhile bloggers, I know I have no excuse. I don't have a full-time job (or any job), I don't have kids, and I have wireless internet, please don't hate me. Well Nothing incredibly exciting here in the Kajewski Hamster Cage... A couple weeks ago we went out for Halloween with our TC friends.

Well you know how Halloween is like New Years, where unless you have something planned you just want to boycott. That is how it started for us, but then we ended up getting invited to a pretty decent party. Lucky for us we know some people who know rich kids... And you know what rich kids in their 20's do on useless holidays? Rent out an Art Gallery in Minneapolis, Bring in A bar, DJ, and throw a sweet party... Thank you Rich Kids!! So we had a good time.. I went as a Ref and Matt went as Jackie Moon from Semi-Pro (a Will Ferrell character)


Matt as Jackie Moon and with an incredibly full head of hair....weird..

See Matt picks his costume and sometimes I coordinate and sometimes I don't. The last few years he has been on a Will Ferrell Movie Character Kick so we have gone that way. As usual there were plenty of scantily clad ladies around. As Matt said, I was wearing the mom version of my costume; A ref costume with a short skirt with leggings, shorts, and a long sleeved t-shirt underneath. Lucky for us Matt pointed out the girl wearing my "Racy Ref" costume the way it was suppose to be worn...and lets just say she did not have on leggings, shorts, or a long sleeved t-shirt on underneath..


Ash and Adam went as "Nerds", Matt and I went to pick them up and noticed their name tags (Matt and Maureen Kajewski), touche my friends...well played...


Most of the Crew...


Kicking Danny out for being a Wiener..

Needless to say it was a very successful Halloween that was followed the next day with naps and eating lots of candy!

Last weekend I went down to KC for my friend Anna's Bridal Shower. It has been over three years since I have been in KC and we had a blast. Friday night we went to a little dive bar by Anna's and danced the night away to a band. We were a little out of place when we realized that everyone there was divorced with children our age. The women were the best. They all had bleached hair/frosted tips and wore mom jeans and those stupid multi-colored shirts that say, Paris, Greece, or Rome on them that department stores try to pass them off as the fun "Party" shirt in the mom area of younkers....oh mom jeans and multi colored France shirts..they are the worst.


Bri, Anna, Liz, and I at the Dive Bar


UNI girls at Anna's Shower..

Saturday we had Anna's shower and then headed to the new Power and Light District in KC. That was very cool. Sunday was a long drive and I only made it back to Holstein, I was not about to drive 7 hours, thank god for being unemployed!

Other than that, things have been calm. Matt and I are still working on our game plan on when and where we are going to move to, but I will let you know when we decide. This Wednesday is my 26th birthday. gross..I am officially closer to 30 than 20..WHAT THE WHAT!! (quoting Liz Lemon) When Meghann was 26, I was 21 and all, god my sister is wicked old and lame.. I mean I was right about her, but I know that I am still cool and I know no one would call me lame..lets be serious.. For the Big Birthday we are heading to IC to watch the Hawks end the season with a victory! Hope all my fellow bloggers are doing well!

An Affair to Remember

Well I am going to do a little wedding post. I have yet to do a big review of the shin-dig. It was hands down one of my best days, with one downside...no voice. The week before was horrible. It was bad. We had so much to do and I was fighting a cold. Matt was crabby, I was crabby, and everyone drove us nuts. Friday we started to relax and Saturday was worth it. I slept fine the night before, but I woke up hoarse. My cold/running around had finally taken its toll and I knew I was going to be fighting to talk all day... and that really sucked and the more I think about it in hindsight it makes me so angry.. but we made do!

Last Minute Primping.. Can you guys come get me ready everyday?

I went to get my hair done and Matt's mom was there with a gift from Matt. You see Matt and I write each other funny cards for holidays, birthdays, big events etc. For those of you who think I am a good blogger, you have not received a card from Matt. He is funny, sincere, and weird all at the same time. Here is an excerpt from my card, "I will always love you like I did when we first met, but as we have grown inseparable, I find I love you more because I can't function without you. I can't seem to remember to set the alarm clock at night, because I fall asleep everywhere, so I need you for that especially. Plus I don't understand how to measure spices and when to throw out cheese, eggs, etc.. I just don't understand those things.." Like I said sweet, sincere, funny, and weird..that is Matt. (he will be mad I shared, but I don't care)


Dad and Matt with their Game Faces on!


Emo Wedding Picture

Getting ready was the most fun. I can see how celebrities get used to having a team to make them pretty all the time, it was awesome. It was fun to be with my dearest friends and family before the big ceremony. It just went so fast. Matt and I saw each other before the ceremony and took some pictures. And I am glad we did it that way so we could have a little face time before the wedding. I was fine until about 30 minutes before,then I wanted to freak. 5 minutes before I was standing in the back of the church, everyone else was getting lined up and I looked at Blenner, and go,"What the F am I doing, I am getting married in 5 minutes!" This wasn't a oh shit I don't want to get married, this was a where the hell did the last 25 years go?! Wasn't it yesterday we were playing barbies, noon league, and going to football games? Jame just laughed, and next thing I new I was at the end of the aisle. Matt and I spent the entire mass chatting to each other about everything. How happy we were, our funny families, the hawks, and how jacked we were to party! (We kind of do that during regular mass too.) And then it was over. The bag piper and drummer came out and it was time to party.

The Wedding Party

We had a fabulous reception. We rode around on a trolley with our wedding party, and stopped to take some pics. The reception was awesome. The food was good, the booze was flowing,and everyone was dancing and having a good time. Chris (Matt's brother) had one of the funniest speeches I have heard in a long time. Chris unfortunately took the role of annoying older brother I never had too easily. He finds something I said or did and makes fun of me for months. He is constantly tricking me into making an ass out of myself (which I do fine by myself, thank you!) and he gets me in trouble because he makes me laugh at inappropriate times or goats me into saying things I should keep to myself.. (well, I like to blame him for that). But his speech was awesome, and when I get the DVD I think I need to post it.. because he was that funny.

Cosgrove Siblings Getting Down

The rest of the night was a blur. It went by so fast! We ate, we drank, we danced, we said hi to a few people and then it was 2am. Matt and I were the last to leave our reception. We made sure our fellow Twin Cities Friends got safe rides home, and then Lauren Meyer, Matt and I piled into dad's dirty truck and she gave us a ride to The Inn, a bed and breakfast in Battle Creek. Yes, I stayed in Battle Creek on my wedding night, but that B&B is very nice and adorable! I suggest you visit there if you haven't been. And No we did not get a picture of Lauren, Matt and I piled three to the front in the truck..true small town wedding!

Matt told me the next day that he didn't think there was anyway the work we did the week before would be worth it. He thought there is no way it could be that much fun that he wouldn't care he was bossed around for a week and told to move/carry tables, chairs, flowers, candles, gifts etc.. But he said he was wrong, it was the second best day ever, next to the night we met of course.(what a suck-up)But he was right, it was. We had our favorite people with us, and my dad sure does know how to throw a party! So thanks to you all who helped make our day, it was fun.. And Mom and Dad there is no way to repay you, nor will we! So now we are on to our big kid life.. which includes us dressing up and going out for Halloween like we are 12..but I will post the pictures later this week... I am slightly sick from eating a million peanut butter cups...

Susie Homemaker

We have survived over a week of wedded bliss. I came back to Saint Paul Wednesday and have spent the last five days organizing, trips to goodwill, and cleaning. We live in a tiny apartment, I mean, it's really small! I only brought all my clothes and make-up and we had no room. (it takes a lot to get this mug looking smoking) Basically that means I had to make 5 trips to Goodwill to make it fit.

Also I want to know if anyone knew of this so-called Wedding Let Down Syndrome? Because now that I have talked to other Brides, I have a feeling I am not alone. Our Wedding was awesome, BEST PARTY EVER...but it is over!! The last six months of my life has been a whirl wind. It was Graduation, drive to Des Moines and Study everyday all day for the test of my life.. Drive To Holstein and Plan your entire wedding in two months.. Walk down the aisle...Party.. and END SCENE. I was a little sad last week. I was so crabby I looked at Matt, and go "Matt, you don't understand it is all over! There is nothing left cool to do. I went to college, I am over 21, and I was a Beautiful Bride, MY LIFE IS OVER!!" Obviously I Was a little Dramatic... It is that it was just all such a beautiful blur. I am sure that is how all momentous occasions in your life are; weddings, birth of children, blood alcohol level tests... I kind of remember feeling like this when I graduated college, that was hard..

So now I am on to being Susie Homemaker and Finding a Job. I have been able to keep myself busy all day so far, but who knows when that will wear away.


I make Dinner in my Sunday Be... I mean dirty Sweats..


His and Her Moccasins. The new His and Her Towels.. Nothing says love like Matching Indoor/Outdoor Slippers from Target, or as Matt Calls them Windals (Winter Sandals)

Lastly, the best part of our first week of wedded bliss was the Iowa Game Saturday Night. It was the best and WORST GAME EVER to watch, it was just so tense! The last 5 minutes I covered my eyes and swore like I was stuck in the Schaller Haunted House, and Matt rocked back and forth like they took away the internets. And then it happened... After watching so many passes that should have been, McNutt Did it! Matt was running around the coffee table, I was jumping up and down on the couch. We watched the last couple minutes a million times in disbelief, and then put on our Hawk Gear and Headed Out to celebrate! We were both so happy, we convinced ourselves that when we have a baby he or she shall be named Ricky McNutt or Rickstine McNutt, they are both fabulous names..


Matt Wishing he was on the Iowa Offensive Line..as he tells me all the time, he was an Algona Bulldog...blah..blah...blah..

Well I have yet to do my wedding post. I will get it up later this week of all my favorite snapshots I have gotten from all my friends and family. I need to keep the bridal aura alive.(A Girl can Dream, can't she?) I already told Matt we are renewing our vows on our 10th anniversary, and I want to wear a pretty dress and have a party. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, "No." He said it pretty firmly too...So I have 9 years and 51 weeks to change his mind... better start now!

Honkey Mooners

I know everyone is dying to know how the honkey mooners are doing (as my dad calls us). Well we are tired, tired, tired! Yesterday we did a little picking up, opened our sweet gifts and then went to Cherokee and ate Mexican and relaxed. Today was pick-up and organize day, and it was exhausting! I was out for the count Sunday, but today I am feeling better. For those of you who could attend our party you know that I was fighting a cold, story of my life! Well I just wanted to post a few pics. It was a fabulous day and I will post later and give my spin on it, but I thought it would be funny to show how Matt and I spent our first non-wedding night as a married couple. See in my liberal, progressive, no holds bar family you are not allowed to sleep in the same bed until you are married, or live with your significant other. I get the rule, totally get it, and kind of agree (kinda).

This usually means that I slept in the Attic on the Couch so I could watch TV, and Matt slept in the room known as Grandma's Hideaway in my parents home because it is the coldest. Well last night kids, we took the house over! There is only one other full size bed in this house besides my parents and that is Riley's. And Well Riley's Room smells like there is a dead animal in there. (Teenage Boys, GROSS!) So we pushed the twin beds together in Clare's room to mark the significant change in sleeping arrangements at the Cosgrove Home. What a honeymoon!!


Our Marital Bed... Clare and I's old twin beds pushed together..can you beat that!

Your little sister's bedroom, that's were all newly married couples want to reside. Matt is heading back to Saint Paul tomorrow,also a honeymooners destination of choice. I will go tomorrow or Wednesday as I have a lot of things to get together. And then I am totally going to take one day this week and do nothing while Matt goes to work, just so I can rub it in. I am a homemaker now until I get a big girl job. And I am a homemaker to a 750 sq. foot apartment with no children. So it is basically my heaven. I will blog later with more pics and details on the wedding, but below are a few of my favorites from the pictures my mom took. I am so excited to see what our Fabulously talented Ms. Libba did, but I kind of like the wait, it will be so worth it!

Annoying My Mother by not Posing seriously with my Bouquet. It was so beautiful though! Also please excuse my overwhelming show of "the girls". But you only get married once or twice, and the girls were a little out of control..well okay a lot.. But I totally wanted to look Like Joan on MadMen.

All About Riley

Well Bloggers I am less than a week away from being a married woman, and I am starting to get excited. We have a lot of the decorating done thanks to Connie Butcher and Mom, and we really only have the stuff left that we can't do till the last minute. I am starting to get restless with my time at home. I really need to get OUT OF HERE!! I mean my fam is awesome, but seriously I haven't lived with these people since I left for college in August of 2002. I know the feeling is mutual... So to fill up my time here I attended the infamous Galva-Holstein Homecoming Festivities for the first time since I graduated from high school 7 years ago. The Thursday night coronation tradition was in full swing. The downside was that the gym was not packed to the rafters like it used to be, and the classes have gotten so small. There was 7 senior boys, seriously 7? 4 of them are needed for royalty. That was just weird, I at least graduated with 25 boys in my class.


Riley Rocking the Band


Band Nerd

The highlight though, was Riley. Not to be a braggart, but he was pretty funny. As a long standing GH tradition of boys playing the role of girls in the class skits, Riley was suppose to be Dena the school secretary. In my day the guys would go all out dressing like girls, in Riley case he thought a wig and glasses would suffice, but it was still funny. Needless to say, Riley was the funniest person there all night. He was knocking them dead! He made fun of people tastefully (I have no idea where he got that!!??) and had the entire crowd rolling with laughter. The highlight was the "Dance Off" part of their skit. I guess it is a new Cosgrove tradition to be a mad dancer to Beyonce's Single Ladies, and Riley Rocked it. So I have said I am learning this dance for my wedding and I have less then a week for Beyonce and Riley to teach it to me.. Lets see if I can do it...


As you can hear I was dying laughing and trying to hold it in, I didn't get the whole dance cause I couldn't get my camera switched over fast enough, but you get the gist!

So a week Bloggers, in one week I will be Maureen Catherine Cosgrove Kajewski. That is some screwed up shiz... But man, we all I know I am going to look smoking while I am doing it. Officially Signing off, MoCos!

Swearing In

I finally got my license to swear...no wait I got a license to attend bars....that's not it either...I know! I got sworn in to the Iowa Bar...I think that is right. Thursday I met Matt in DM so that we could attend the mandatory swearing in on Friday. It was a nice little ceremony. Personally it would be nice if after all the hoops you have to jump through if they just sent the license to you in the mail with a gift certificate to a Liquor Store and a box of Girl Scout Cookies so that you could celebrate in the appropriate manner, but I mean how would you know who wants thin mints or caramel delights? I get it.. Instead you go and listen to some speeches about how the hard work is just beginning and they try and make you feel like being a lawyer is exciting when really it just sounds time consuming and like a lot of work.. Just when I was getting in to bartending a few hours a week and regularly watching shows on lifetime they rip it away from me...great...thanks reality!!


My New Billboard Ad


My Driver


Three Years of hell and it all boils down to this

Saturday we attended a friend of Matt's wedding in Sioux City. We had a good time but it was a whirlwind fast weekend. The time is flying until our wedding and I wish it would slow down.. I still have things I have to do, weight to lose (I could use a quick case of mono right now...) The last few weeks have been great. I had a fabulous shower and got lots of sweet gifts, a license to practice law, and I still am sleeping in a little too much.. but who cares I only have two more weeks to live like this.. then I guess I really need to get a job...

Well on to the wedding! Matt and I had our last date as boyfriend and girlfriend the other night so I told him the next time we are together to go out we will be those crazy drunken Kajewski's.. People will start referring to us as one person, ya know how when your married it is no longer Matt Kajewski and Maureen Cosgrove it is now "Matt and Maureen." Hopefully they won't preface or follow it with "those jerks" but I have a feeling it is quite possible. Well on to being a bride!!

Lawyer From Hell

I did it Bloggers, I passed the Bar Exam!! Today was a crazy day..Results were not suppose to come out until tomorrow. Well I got back from working out today and there was an email that results would be released today at 2:30.. when I found this out it was 1:00 PM. Of course like a rational person I immediately burst into tears, started hyperventilating, and was looking for the nearest liquor cabinet. Needless to say I was freaked out. I had to call Dad and Meghann because I was not looking, nor was I going to explain to my mother where to look, and either one of them had to do it. At about 2:10 I was walking around the house, music blaring, having a drink trying to calm down and Dad called and said, "Maureen Catherine Cosgrove of Hamline University is a lawyer." I of course thought he was lying, cause I wouldn't put it past him. But sure enough that is exactly what the Board of Bar Examiners News Release said. I did it, I passed and it is all over! HELLS YEAH!!!

It was the most horrible, unbearable, miserable, mind F'ing experience. It was complete and utter torture... I would ask that when your child tells you that they want to go to law school, I want you to say, "Are you kidding me child, do you have Sh*t for brains! Law School is way too much work for way too little reward. Be a Dentist, work 4 days a week and earn 150K, don't be a lawyer, those bastards are stressed out alcoholics.. and 9 times out of 10, you are probably right..!"

In honor of my big passage we had some family friends over and celebrated with some Chinese food. It was awesome. I also felt that I was entitled to wear a pin that my Aunt Martha gave me during my studying. It is a pin of my Late Uncle Luke's, and if you knew Luke it is totally him.. It states "LAWYER FROM HELL." And today my fellow bloggers I earned it. As of the swearing in on September 25th I will officially be a lawyer from hell.


What What!!


Lawyer From Hell.. Nuff Said

I am thinking I am going to celebrate by meeting some friends in Ames for the Iowa vs. ISU football game..We will see. But I know for sure that I am going to sleep in, workout, eat a good lunch and play it from there. So I did it Bloggers. I can now be a bride and not worry about taking that damn test again...From here on out all I have to take is pregnancy tests... And Those are also either pass or fail so I think I can handle it. Later Bloggers... Mo Mo needs to sleep...

HollyWood Photo Shoot

Well Hello There Bloggers.. Well as some of you have seen on Ms. Libba's blog, she was kind enough to take some "engagement" photos of Matt and I last Sunday. We had a blast. Libba is so freaking talented I have no idea how she does it. I am very excited and happy I get to have a dear friend who will be the one documenting our big day. I cannot imagine having anyone else do it!

But enough about Libba, let's talk about how freaking good I LOOK! Seriously.. your killing me Smalls! I mean the hair, the gams, the clothes, smile, make-up, and the weight loss.. Damn that girl has got it going on! Haha.. (That previous line is slightly sarcastic..and well,true.. ) Who am I kidding we both look freaking fabulous.. (Once again this is all due to Libba!) Libba posted some of her favs so I figured I would post mine. My fav's were pretty much all of them, but I tried to pick a few (like 12) that I like the best. I couldn't really narrow it down, she is just that damn talented.

I am giving them all my own little descriptions. I realize that besides our wedding pictures and 50th anniversary picture, these are probably the only other professional pictures we will have taken of us, So we totally had to work our Blue Steel Mugshots.. (Zoolander Reference for those of you who don't watch cool movies) Well Hope you Enjoy!


The "Traditional" Engagement Photo.. Matt and I have taken a million pictures mocking this pose, and wouldn't you know it, it turned out to be one of my favorite's! I mean, eat your heart out Holstein Advance! (and if anyone turns a picture into the paper I will have you killed!)

Favorite.. This is Matt and I's most favorite... I don't know why but it is..

So there are our pictures..They are fabulous, fun, and even a little lovey. I am glad we decided to have some pictures taken, even after not thinking we needed to for so long. It is nice to have some pictures of us not looking like wedding Barbie and Ken, but rather looking like Brad and Angelina...So hope you enjoyed! Hope everyone is cheering on the HAWKS this weekend! I O W A!!!
