Well Hello There...

I'd like to say that I am back to blogging but for right now
its just a temporary "I'm back" for a quick update on my life.
We are now 2 months into our marriage and it has been wonderful.
Here are some pictures from the wedding and honeymoon.

 All of our jar centerpieces were from Matt's grandparents farm
(were we are living now)

Our wedding was everything we had hoped it to be.
Everything went smoothly and I felt good that whole day.
I still can't believe that our wedding has come and passed,
I still try to plan for it and then have to think "oh wait, I have already had my wedding."


On our honeymoon we went to Kona, Hawaii on the Big Island.

We had so much fun.

We also added another member to our family.
Piper

 

Okay that is it for now!

We don't have internet out at our house so not sure when I will be back. :)

Nineteen Days.

It is the 10th day of July.

I am getting married in 19 days.

I am still amazed on how fast the last 7 months have gone by.

Sometimes I can't believe Matt is home from Costa Rica

even though he has been home for 2 months.

Time is flying and the big day will be here before I know it.

Bridal Shower

I am a little behind on this

but I had my bridal shower June 4th.

It was so much fun and a little awkward :)

Opening up presents by yourself while people watch you 

is just a little intimidating.

Maybe it is just me though...

My Bridesmaids.

 My Great-Aunt gave me her Mom's (my great-grandma Duncan) 

jelly dish. Very Special.

Woohoo! So Excited! : )

Such a great and special memory.

So thankful for all the wonderful people in my life.

I can't believe I am getting married, it is still unreal sometimes.

(sorry for the picture quality, I don't know why they look so bad)

Just Another Update

Here we go...

Yesterday Matt and started cleaning out our house,
(YAY, we have a start!)

Today I scheduled our first marriage counseling date for Monday.

and Saturday is my first Bridal Shower <3

And the next couple of days I have alot of errands to run,

June is going to be way to busy for me but I am going to love every minute of it.

This is also my first big summer of weddings, including my own.

Crazy how old I am getting. Weird.

Some other exciting news:

We are headed to HAWAII!

We finally booked our honeymoon and we couldn't be more excited.

We also added a new addition to our Wilkowske family:

Huckleberry

He is Blue Heeler and American Eskimo mixed and he is 3 months old.

We love him.

Thats all for May.

Just an Update.

I have to say the only thing that I have been stressed about so far with planning the wedding

is planning the honeymoon.

With Matt being gone it has been just a little difficult.

But  mom & I went to talk to a travel agent yesterday.

(which should of been done like a month or two ago)

Our choices are either Jamaica or Cancun

& I cannot decide where to go. 

It is no joke, stressing me out.

But other than that I am getting really excited.

We ordered our invitations, napkins & our guest book.

Told my aunt what flowers I liked & colors.

I am so thankful she is a florist &  a wedding planner 

because my mom & I would be a little lost.

Today marks 2 weeks left of Matt being gone.

My sister turns 16 on Sunday!

Monday is my final dress fitting

Next Saturday is my last day at the Y. Woohoo! 

Wednesday I am taking my bridals

Then Thursday Matt is home!

That is what keeps me going, I am glad I have fun events between today and May 5th.

Hopefully we can get our honeymoon booked between now & then.

Dreaming & Hoping & Wishing

I get one of these:

 

Things That Make Me Happy, Right Now.

1. Marking things off of my "to do" list. Such as, my bridesmaids getting their dresses ordered, sending off my save the dates and getting my dress fitted for alterations.

2. Getting to wear my dress, even if it was for a total of 15 minutes.

3. Buying new panties. 7 for $25 thank you American Eagle!

4. Instagram. Lori kept telling me to use it and now I am loving it. 

(randiduncan if you want to follow me (: )

5. On Wednesday Matt will be home in 50 days!

6. Even though I don't technically have a spring break I have some what of a break because I don't have to go to soccer. It will be a nice extra 2 hours in my afternoon.

7. Getting my hair cut tomorrow.

I think that is it for now. : )

Wedding Website

Just created our wedding website, check it out!

thirteen weeks to go.

So I just redid my blog.
I like it.
And that house up there in the picture is where Matt and I will live.
Yes, I Randi will live on a farm.

Anyways...
Back in September I was asked to help coach the Yukon JV soccer team. At first I though "absolutely not!" But after I thought about it I decided I should at least try it out.
So far it is going good, I am actually enjoying it.
I always remembered spring soccer flying by when I played so I am hoping it will keep me busy and then Matt will be home. *fingers crossed*

As far as wedding planning has been going we have the date, the venue, the dress, the DJ, the photographer, the flowers and a bridal shower set. Pretty much everything else we have left we can do throughout the next 6 months and when Matt comes home. It is still so unreal to me. I can't wait to marry my best friend, but I think I am more excited for him to come back home.

3 weeks down, 13 more to go.
