I had a post all scheduled and ready to go about wedding underwear.....but that seems so stupid now. I got a voice mail yesterday that the Pastor of our church has resigned and is joining a congregation in Arizona. To say I'm heartbroken would be an understatement.
Pastor Gayle married my mom and step-dad in August. I loved so much that she knew my family and that I would be married by the same Pastor as my mom. J and I don't make it to church as much as we'd like so to have a connection to our Pastor was something really special to me.
I'm not sure what the church's plans are about a replacement but in the message the wedding coordinator said, "there are other Pastors interested in marrying you."
How can they be interested? They've never met me. Or J. Or my family.
I know everything will work out, it always does. But right now I'd like a table for one at the pity party.......sorry, I just don't want to be married by a random.

Things That Annoy the CRAP Out of Me
-Looky Lou traffic jams--mind your own damn business and drive. There is no reason why my commute should take longer because you are so gosh darn nosy you can't drive by an abandoned car without hitting the brakes.
-Nervous laughs. It's OK to be nervous, just don't laugh. It's awkward to watch you laugh when nothing is remotely funny.
-Crunches. They hurt and doing 5 of them does not give me a six pack.
-Making me feel guilty for not being available to do something when you give me 2 hours notice. Ummm, I own a business and work 2 additional jobs. I also have a fiance, a puppy, a turtle and a fish to take care of. I have a busy schedule....get over yourself. I need at least a week, it might annoy you, but that's how I work.
-Bus girl. There is a girl who walks by Coffee Buzz EVERY.SINGLE.MORNING on her way to the bus stop (J and I named her bus girl)....in the 13 months we have been open she hasn't come in ONCE. She doesn't even look in the window. It bugs me.
-People who read my blog but don't comment or follow....c'mon guys, I need to feel the love! :)
-People who don't listen! Especially coffee customers who don't listen....if I ask you if you want room for cream and you say "no" then why the F are you dumping hot coffee in to my trash can (melting the bag and causing a huge mess) to make room for cream? I GLADLY would have left you room, that's why I asked.
-Ponytail headaches. Ugh.
-People who speed and tail you at 5:30am. Really? It's 5:30am. What's the rush? Plus, I just woke up....so get away from me.
-These two:
-People whose mouths are always open, no matter what they're doing....you know you can breath out of your nose too?
-Working Saturdays.
-When cars leave huge gaps between each other at a turn light. Just turn promptly and more of us can get through the light....simple.
-When people stop walking abruptly, or are just standing in the middle of a walkway (think mall, walking trail, Target....anywhere really). Can't you just move aside?
-Coffee grounds...I realize this is ridiculous considering where I spend most of my time but they're tiny, hard to clean up and they get EVERYWHERE. They drive me bananas.
Whew, I feel better.
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!
ps. Happy Birthday to my dogg, Robyn!
I wouldn't "whip my hair" with anyone but you!

Tim McGraw
I'm a little late to the party, but I haven't been feeling well this week so my blog has taken a major hit. But, you know what they say..."better late than never."
Last Saturday, Tim McGraw was in town. I had been bugging J about going since the tickets went on sale, but unfortunately, it didn't really fit in to our budget. J had been stalking craigslist hoping to score some last minute tickets, but to no avail.
So, on Saturday after work we decided that we've been working really hard and have put so much in to our wedding savings lately that we deserved a night out. We agreed that we'd spend $60 on tickets, and if we couldn't scalp them for that we wouldn't go. So, we took $60 out of our account and headed downtown Saint Paul. We got down there a little early to really haggle with the scalpers, so we went to a fun little bar for dinner....it felt so good to be out with my honey! We don't get very many date nights.
After dinner we were on our way to the Excel Energy Center, and about two minutes later we had 2 tickets to see Tim McGraw! **Enter spastic Kristin jumping up and down and clapping!** Obviously, for $30 a ticket our seats weren't the best, we were up in section 208 which at the Excel is pretty high up there. As we reached our section a lovely little usher informed us that she would be "relocating us." About ten minutes later we were in our new seats....in section 108! It was incredible! This night could not be any better! I was pumped!
Then Luke Bryan came on!
I've heard his music on the radio and I've seen pictures online, but cripes, after seeing him live I am obsessed! I even bought his CD (yeah, I'm a sucker)
So, Luke Bryan gets done and now the energy in the Excel is rising...everyone knows what is coming next and they're going crazy. Then the lights go out. The band starts to play. Any minute now....Tim is coming onstage any minute.....then I hear everyone start to scream, just going bananas. I am staring at the stage so confused, what is everyone so worked up about? I don't see him anywhere! So I'm staring at the stage trying to figure out what I'm missing when J starts tapping me on the shoulder and saying, "Kris....ummm, Kris? KRIS!" WHAT? I finally yell and as I look over my right should THERE IS TIM MCGRAW! You guys, he entered the arena through our section!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was in absolute shock. It took me a second or two to even process what was happening. J goes, "Don't you want to take a picture?" To which my light bulb finally comes back on and I start scrambling and jumping over seats to get a picture of Tim.
Unfortunately, by the time I got my shiz together, he had already passed us. But, see the guy in the white shirt with the black cowboy hat? Ummmm, yeah, that's TIM MCGRAW! Cripes! Too much to handle.
His show was absolutely amazing! He played for almost two hours and I really can't say enough good things about his performance. I have been to a ton of concerts and never have I seen a star be so interactive with his fans. The entire concert he was giving high-fives, hugs and walking through the crowd.
And, being the gentleman he is, he invited his opening acts, The Band Perry and Luke Bryan on-stage to perform with him. Which of course, Tim & Luke together made my head explode!
It was such an incredible night. I have to thank my JJ for bringing me to the show....it was without a doubt our best date night ever! I love you so much!

Wedding Wednesday: I Heart Bridesmaids!
About a month ago I wrote THIS POST about the movie Bridesmaids. I was lucky enough to go to an advanced screening and absolutely loved the movie.
I knew, that once it came out in theaters I HAD to see it with my Bridesmaids. So, last night I met all of my favorite girls at Crave for dinner and some drinks!
Me, my mom & my girls
my fabulous personal attendant, Robyn
me and my mom!
Then we all went to see Bridesmaids. Let me tell you, it was just as funny the second time around. If you haven't seen this movie yet...please GO! It's seriously so damn funny! All of my girls were howling, we were definitely the super loud laughing-way-too-hard group that everyone hates. But it was so much fun!
We love movie theaters with a bar!
I feel so incredibly lucky to have such amazing women in my life. It meant the world that ALL of my bridesmaids (well, except Nicole who lives in Florida) made the effort to come and hang out with me and see this movie. I love these girls so much and I couldn't have picked a better group to spend my wedding day with!
