Marriage Advice

As some of you know, I work in healthcare as a Certified Nursing Assistant (aka: Professional Butt Wiper). The best part of my job? The AMAZING residents who have a tendancy to give some of the best advice, I was working the other day and being that it was the day after valentine's day my resident felt the need to give me a little bit of wisdom that I thought I'd share with you...

"After (dear husband) died, and I had to look around that house at all the stuff, all the trinkets and gifts that I'd gotten through the years. I realized that none of it mattered because he was gone, and that was the hardest part for me...living without him" ~Resident M~

I don't know about you, but FI Fishie and I fight sometimes and there are times when he annoys the crap out of me but if I ever lost him I don't know what I do. I told him that I plan to die first because without him, I'd die on the inside anyway. We may not have had the typical love story but, it works for us. Valentine's day may be over but I want to encourage everyone to tell the person you love how much you care about them...you never know what day will be your last.

Bridal Fairs 101...take 2!

Alright, so I wrote about my experience at the Beginnings Bridal Fair here, and since then I have been to two more bridal fairs. First was the Wedding Showcase up north in Siren, WI. Then just yesterday, we treked out into the snow for the Sweethearts Bridal Fair here in Menomonie. After 3 bridal fairs, I think I'm starting to become kind of an expert on these shindigs. And yet, I'm slated to go to just one more next week...poor FI Fishie thank goodness he likes going for the free cake!



So, without further ado I present Bridal Fairs 101...take 2.
