So Thankful...
I am so incredibly thankful for Chris and my relationship. We had a big scare last night, but thankfully everything is okay. I don't feel like going into all of the details but the short story is I ate something that got caught in my throat. I could breathe and was talking and walking, so we knew it was okay for the most part. Chris rushed me into the car and got me to the emergency clinic. Note to all of you, if you have a minor emergency where you aren't bleeding and are still bleeding, go to one of these places. I didn't even have to sit in the waiting room.
They took my vitals, gave me some really good medicine to relax me (I was extremely relaxed). I played be-jeweled on Chris's phone - he said I wouldn't stop. They came and took me for a CT scan, but this point the drugs had hit and I remember looking up and thinking there were a set of eyes staring at me.
Finally they took me back to my room and gave me even more meds to knock me out for the most part, but I was still awake. I have no recollection of being awake. I thought I went to sleep. They also asked Chris to leave the room at this point. That made me sad and I know Chris wasn't to happy to not be there with me.
Regardless, they did get the object out of my throat. They called Chris back in and I was saying something they couldn't asked. They asked Chris what I was saying. He said, she says "I am not going to floss tonight".
They took another x-ray to make sure everything was gone and eventually let us go home. Chris said we were home by midnight. That really isn't a bad amount of time to be at a clinic...8 pm - 12 am. Had we gone to the emergency room I would have gotten home at noon today.
I am so thankful that Chris is on his toes about things like this and knew what he had to do to make sure I was okay. I hope I would be the same for him as well. Though, I hope nothing like this happens again.
...I have the scans from the CT...I can't upload them...but once I look at them I will determine if I want to put them online.

Call Me Bond...James Bond
Nothing makes me happier than checking off a "to do" on our wedding checklist. Today, we got to check off the tux rentals.
Chris and I went over to Men's Warehouse today and picked out what he, the groomsmen and ushers will be wearing the night of the reception. Chris did ask why I needed to go since he has no say in what I or my bridesmaids wear, but in reality I was just there to fill out the paperwork (Chris's handwriting is not the best) and to make sure my email was on there somewhere so I could keep track of who has gone for their fittings. I am leaving it up to Chris to get all of the guys to do this, but I would like to be in the loop about it. I must say, Chris did a great job picking everything out. The guys are going to look so handsome!
We also came up with a great title for our wedding ceremony. It is a Hindapalian Wedding. Thank Chris for that one!
Hooray for another completed task! Now to figure out outfits for my bridesmaids and also what I am going to wear...

Happy Easter!
Happy Easter everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful day. Chris and I celebrated Easter in our own way today. No big egg hunts, no big gathering...just the two of us making good food together and spending time together.
Chris made a delicious ham made with mustard (that made me nervous), ginger snaps, brown sugar and scotch. The recipe called for bourbon, but all we had was Chris's 15 year old Glenfiddich, expensive way to make a ham, we know! I made my famous roasted potatoes with garlic and rosemary (fresh from the backyard) and some bacon and cheese scones. Chris used my pig cookie cutter for the scones.
Piggy Piggy!
Lunch was so very tasty, but we had way too much food for the two of us. Looks like we will be making ham sandwiches this week. I plan to make a ham and cheese quiche tomorrow for dinner (possibly using the leftover dough from the bacon and cheese scones). I also made spring sugar cookies on Friday that I was going to frost but I never got around to it. Though honestly, these cookies did not need anything else to make them taste any better. Chris said they were like crack!
We spent the rest of the afternoon outside reading. It was too pretty of a day to stay inside. Eventually we came back inside and had dessert. Dessert was a slice of toffee-licious cake from Dessert Gallery that I bought Friday. We also watched "Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown" which is completely inappropriate for kids. Marci and Peppermint Patti are out shopping and cooking unsupervised throughout the episode. We love all of the Charlie Brown holiday episodes and try to watch the specific holiday episode on the holiday. This is a tradition we hope to continue throughout our lives.
That's all for today! Again, Happy Easter! Until our next post.

We are So Excited...
And we just can't hide it! Why are we so excited? So much has happened in the last few weeks that has given us something to celebrate. Our wedding is 6 months away, things are going well in both of our jobs and Chris is doing well in school.
Now for the good news...Chris will be done with his MBA in July instead of August! He has been in school since January 2008 and it has been a long two years. This summer he was planning on taking two classes during summer sessions (one during each session). Well, he was able to find two on-line classes during the first session that deal with what he is focusing on with his MBA. So yes friends, we will be having a party in July. It will more than likely be a late birthday party for me, an early birthday for Chris, a graduation party and a Fourth of July party.
And the other news...I am the newest coordinator of Something Planned, LLC. You can see my introduction on their blog Something Planned, LLC. I am so incredibly excited about this! I have been working with Cheri as an assistant for a few weddings and I am now her second coordinator in case someone wants to book an event/wedding on a day she is already working with someone else. Next week I get to go to the wedding rehearsal for the wedding I am assisting at this weekend to learn the ropes of the rehearsal. This is such a wonderful opportunity and I am so happy that it is happening to me! Cheri, the owner and my wedding coordinator, is such a wonderful business woman and will be such a great mentor for me. And yes, I am still working at the Museum.
And the final news for excitement...Mario Galaxy 2 comes out on May 23rd! I get to go get Starbits while Chris does all the hard work in the game. Why do I mention this? Because it is a fun game and I am being silly.
