More Luke

Well I made a quick trip home this weekend to meet Luke. He was a peanut. Friday night the fam just hung out at Meghann and Jamie's and passed the baby back and forth. It was a nice relaxing night. Lillian was funny. She is crazy talkative now. She pointed to Luke's belly button and goes. "Luke has peanut butter in his belly button!" It was pretty funny. She is still getting used to him, but I think she will get the hang of being a big sister. Right now Lillian is still a little skeptical about this brother thing..

Baby Luke

Earlier in the day I meet Clare in Des Moines and we chose the bridesmaid dress for the wedding. I have to say it is pretty sweet. I let Clare make the final decision, as Meghann let me pick her's. So that was fun to get done. I also picked up my veil which is pretty sweet I must say. So things are coming along!! Hope everyone has a good week! Just another hectic week. Matt and I have wedding church camp next weekend. Neither of us are that excited. Why does it have to be all weekend? Saturday starting at 10 a.m. till Sunday at 1.This is not exactly what we want to do with our weekend...oh well I guess we just have to do it! It will be interesting to watch Matt handle this. I will handle it better than him. We have to stay with a some female or male stranger overnight in a room. As a grown 30 year old man Matt does not feel he has to bunk with some stranger. So I hope he gets put with some crazy nerd who drives him insane..(haha) Hopefully we will enjoy ourselves... I will fill you all in next weekend!!

Meet the Fockers

Well I have been a really bad blogger and I apologize to my fellow bloggers for that. So I will update though I don't really have any pictures. Last weekend we had the meeting of the parents. Matt and I went to Holstein to take care of some wedding stuff and his parents came down on Saturday night and joined us for dinner. I would say it was very successful. Dad only made Matt's mom die laughing really hard once and she almost choked on her salad! T.C. is funny what can I say! Of Course I forgot my camera..I have to get back into the swing of things.



The weekend before that Matt and I celebrated Valentine's Day on Friday and went to DaVinci's, a really good Italian place..It was so yummy...Matt wrapped up the new digital camera he bought for us and that was my gift. Though at the same time I was told I am not allowed to have it within 5 feet of liquids at any time. It is pretty sweet and the flash is quick. Which I like..I hate slow flashes. Matt got a "Catalina Wine Mixer" Shirt. If any of you have seen Step Brothers you would understand.


Meet Being Funny...Acting like he got busted lusting over the Swimsuit models while he was waiting for me to get ready..


"It's the Bleeping Catalina Wine Mixer"

Well other than that I am just really busy. I am working a lot and for my last semester in law school I am a lot busier than I thought I was suppose to be. But I guess that is how it goes. Plus it doesn't help that I have Senioritis bigger than life!! Not that I am so jacked to get ready to study for the bar. I am just done with school and work. I can only do one, not both anymore..I am too tired! I have been going to school since I was three, I think I am officially over it. Weird. God knows I have loved being a student. I excelled at college, I mean I really excelled. Hands down the best four years of my life. But I am over the school books now, so hopefully the next 8 weeks goes by fast!! I am hoping for a new baby this week. So if that is the case I will take a lot of pictures!! Hope Everyone has a good week!

Annoyed

Well Bloggers I am annoyed.. First my camera is broken. As you saw in my previous post I went to Des Moines to visit my girlfriends from UNI. Well Digital Cameras and Booze never mix. One of my friend's accidentally dropped my camera in a pitcher of beer when she was handing it back to me, so we need to get a new one and of course we haven't...

Second I think many have seen the sweet layouts Ms. Juli Johnson has discovered. Well It took me forever to figure it out. I finally did, but then I lost my font/layout tab, how I don't know. So I couldn't adjust anything. So next thing I knew I felt like I was in computer app class because I was changing the "code" to fix my font. Well luckily for the internet and Matt (who does some of that stuff for a living) I was able to fix it. Where my font/layout button went under my customize menu I have no idea.

Also I would like to let it be known that I don't like the tracking thing on blogs. I am against it. Anyone who goes to the Johnson Blog can see that I have been there 10 times in the last day.. And in their head they are thinking..Saint Paul Minnesota is a CREEEP!! Well I am a creep... but mostly I needed the link to the Simply Chic Blog Lady...


Closest Picture I could find where I look annoyed...Even though it has been posted..hopefully we will get a new camera this weekend...and keep it away from pitchers of beer..

Second...I am a student. I am attached to my laptop for a minimum of 10 hours a day between school and work. So imagine being in your last semester of law school. It is pointless. But you still have 2 relevant classes to sit through, and 3 irrelevant. For those 3 irrelevant classes I like to stalk..and I mean hardcore. Blogs, Facebook, News, Celebrity Gossip...Everything. I want to see who had a big weekend, see what the people I dislike are up to (because you have too) and I need to double check that John Mayer and Jen are together because she needs to get prego asap..so she can give Crazy Face Angelina the F U.

Because when I am doing this I don't want people to know I was on their profile or blog. That is the whole magic of these things..Put it out there..and lets us do our stalking in silence.. I can't help it if watching Addison Dance a couple times a week makes me laugh...And Brooke's postings are hilarious...I visit Libba's to remind me how much I NEED a puppy, and the Deeds backyard is way better than the weird Christian Commune across the street from Matt's. I like to watch how Liz, Kelsey, Billi,Quin,Jenny, Darcy and last but not least SuperWoman Katie Eckler handle their children because I think it looks like the hardest job ever..And one of these days My cousin Erin is going to post her pictures upright..I can feel it!! And I have to go to Meghann's Blog so I can make fun of her...

So please..respect my need to stalk. And if you have the tracker...please try not to judge Saint Paul, Minnesota. I may be there once a week, a day, or a couple of times..I can't help it. I have a problem. People will now know exactly how big of a freak I am.... Well I am gonna go stalk now...Peace

Bad Blogger....Bad

Well I am officially lazy in 2009. I have not blogged at all. I just started school last week so I blame the fact that I am just getting back into things. Not much new. I still have not decided on a wedding dress. I am done looking. I am down to three dresses. I never really had that bride crying moment. I need to think things through, pro/con list if you will. It is a habit. When I do choose I will let you all know.

Over Break I did have a chance to go visit Baby Wyatt. Emily V., my mom and I stopped to see little Wyatt the day we went wedding dress shopping. He is so cute!! Of Course Emily Schweitz made it look easy, and is cute as ever!! Can't wait to watch little Wyatt grow!!


Me, Emily S. and baby Wyatt, Emily V. Doxtad

Last weekend I went to Des Moines and met up with my college girlfriends. We had a blast. Lost of food, cocktails and giggling. It was a good time. Unfortunately for us our college days keep becoming farther and farther away.


Bri, Ash, and I


Bri, Ash, Me, Anna, Amy.. Where is Liz? I guess someone has to take the picture!!

For those of you who don't know last week was freezing in Minnesota. -40 degree weather. It was miserable. But this week it has been a balmy 25 degrees. Matt and I enjoyed all the inauguration events this past week. I don't know how to watch the news anymore. With the last president I watched thinking, "Oh what did he do now.." and now I am nervous all the time that I am gonna get pissed off at Obama and hope he doesn't break the pact him and I have. I like to think I have power. It will be interesting none the least.

So our lives are pretty boring. We did buy tickets to Elton John/Billy Joel concert in May. It is on the last day of my law school classes so I thought it would be a good way to celebrate. We are on the main floor 33 row. Needless to say Matt said "Happy Graduation!!" I guess that means no jewelry for me on graduation...oh well I will take Elton.. Well hope everyone is well!!

2009--> 4 Days Down

Ah Bloggers.. I am four days into 2009 and have failed on all resolutions. Get organized..nope...work out...only once....try in school..hasn't started yet....reduce my use of the "F" word and his cousins...not so much, I just love the English language...quit procrastinating..I will do that later...You get the picture.

Well Our Christmas celebrations were fun. Matt and I spent Christmas Eve with my family, Christmas day with the extended Cosgrove's and the Rest of the weekend with the Kajewski's. We got way too many wonderful gifts, ate a lot, and enjoyed our holiday cocktails. When we got back to the city on Sunday we both felt like we were hit by a truck.

Matt and Jamie in their "Super" Obama Shirts... 1.20.09 he better not disappoint

I worked a couple of days and headed back home to do some more dress shopping. I have found a couple I like a lot, but I have not had that crying, "This is the Dress!!" moment. I don't really think I am that kind of girl though. I think I am more of a..."God damn I look good," kind of a bride. Matt and I spent New Years apart, due to my need to try and get wedding stuff done. The Iowa game was awesome, and I have spent the last couple of days being lazy. Tomorrow I will head back and try to put my life back together. I am not looking forward to it, but I don't have a choice. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years and now on to 2009!! Enjoy some of the pictures from our Holiday!!

Matt and Mo Christmas

Ah bloggers...I have one test left and I am done. I am just giving up..throwing in the towel..somebody else is going to have to be in the top of the class this semester(Ha Ha). Well Matt and I celebrated "Our" Christmas. We usually get all dressed up and go out to eat and make a night of it, but I just didn't have a break this year.


30 years old and still a little boy..

Matt started a tradition for us, 2 Christmases ago. We can only get things for our Stockings from Walgreens. So that means each of us walks away with lots of candy and personal hygiene products. I told him we have to keep doing this for each other. It gets funnier every year. And when we are old we can just get eachother's shopping list. Why do old people love chain pharmacies? One of my fondest memories of my grandmother was her love of Walgreens.. I think that is the pharmacy I went with her to a lot..The woman really just loved a deal..so Grandma would appreciate our frugal stocking stuffers..


Alright Feet Lotion!! Best Christmas Ever!

Well I got a Waterford ring holder for my rings. Very fancy. Some earrings I picked out at Herberger's (Younkers) that are cool. I also got a Panini Maker and drumroll...Not the Barbie Dream House, but a sweet suitcase. I am guessing Matt is taking me on a trip soon. (I wish)


Earrings...Oooh...Aaaah.... (Oh and I got Bangs..Not sure I like them..oh well)


No Dream House..Maybe next year... But a trip to Europe I hope??

Matt was not that excited with his gifts. He was wondering why I got him so many sweaters until I gave him a picture of the GPS that will be here soon.(The company I ordered it from "misplaced" it.) We never go anywhere that we don't know how to get to..So I hope this thing is useful...


You could be a little more appreciative! (He is kidding..he just thinks posing is hilarious)


Now he likes Christmas..GPS is in the mail!

Well I hope everyone has a good Christmas. I am so excited for Santa!! Before I head home I am going to Des Moines this weekend to meet some girlfriends and to "celebrate". We are also going to go Wedding dress shopping so I will let ya know if I find anything cool. It is going to be hard to find a dress that makes me look 20lbs thinner. Why do brides wear white?? Grr... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
