Recap Time!!

Let's start with the rehearsal....

I think all of us were a little wiped out from the night before (bachelor/bachelorette parties in San Fran) but we somehow all managed to make it to the rehearsal by 5 on Friday evening. It was actually the LAST thing I wanted to do that night, but once we got rolling I perked right up and had a great time. I'll let the pictures do the talking....

We had hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner, but the best part was that we had old fashioned soda drinks. My favorite, and specially requested was this:

(I forced my friends to make flower arrangements after dinner. Melanie was the only complainer....see next picture)

All of the arrangements were so BEAUTIFUL and I appreciated everyone's hard work. Towards the end of the night I was informed that Jake would be staying at his parent's house that night and that we wouldn't be seeing each other until the wedding. We hadn't originally planned on following that tradition and I wasn't sure how I was going to set everything up the next morning if I couldn't actually be at the house. Luckily I have the most amazing friends and family to ever exist and they took care of EVERYTHING! I mean really...the most amazing! I'm fairly positive that the instructions I gave were not very specific because the phrase "I have this [insert random decoration] that you can just put anywhere" came out of my mouth more than once, but the end result turned out exactly as I had imagined it in my head.

Stay tuned for the next installment "The Day of"

Oh, but I forgot the best part of the rehearsal dinner. My grandparents gave us our wedding gifts. Part of the wedding gift was that my grandma had our Save the Date signed by MIKE MODANO (my other husband)! I actually cried tears of joy when I opened it. Jake wasn't as excited ;)

"Up or Down"

I know I promised to elaborate about the wedding, but I want to wait until I have more time to really sit down and think about everything. So, to hold you over, here are the lyrics to the song Jake wrote and performed during the reception. It was absolutely the best part of the entire wedding!

I left this town to get out of state
I was sick and tired of this place
I was in search of the college life
That’s where I first saw your face

At a party that my friends would throw
I saw you standing there alone and cold
I looked around and thought to myself
As I asked you if you wanted my coat

Chorus:
I’m not quite sure what I’m supposed to do now
I don’t know which way is up n’ which way is down
I knew I’d spend my life, everyday
Just trying to catch my breath before you’d take it away
One thing that I knew would always be true
You’d love me to the end and I’d love you

I remember as the days went on
Semesters were short and the summers were long
Together at night or on the phone
We knew that we’d never be alone

We’d laugh together, sometimes we’d cry
Often times, we wouldn’t know why
Knew our lives would work out like they should
I’d think to myself I’m a lucky guy and

Chorus:
I’m not quite sure what I’m supposed to do now
I don’t know which way is up n’ which way is down
I knew I’d spend my life, everyday
Just trying to catch my breath before you’d take it away
One thing that I knew would always be true
You’d love me to the end and I’d love you

I thin back now to those days
I wouldn’t trade them now for anything
I see you here dressed in white
My life in this town is finally right

We’re back in this town that I wanted to leave
It took a thousand miles to get you here
You’re right before me and I just can’t believe
My life with you now seems so clear

Chorus:
I’m know just what I’m supposed to do now
I know which way is up n’ which way is down
I’ll spend my life, ever day
Just trying to catch my breath before you take it away
One thing I still know will always be true
You’ll love me to the end and I’ll love you

Best Day Ever

That's all I have to say right now. I'll elaborate at a later time. Thank you to everyone that made all of my dreams come true. I'm truly the luckiest girl in the world.

Love,
Mrs. Hoberg ;)

Quick Wedding Update!

Only 9 days away from 09-19-09!! I don't have much time to talk so here's a quick update of what's going on:

*We are no longer using an ipod for our music because we've hired a real dj
*Found a great deal on wine that I'm super excited about
*Ordered a whole bunch of pears to decorate with
*Ordered bouquets (we were originally going to make them, but have decided that would be too much work)
*My mom will be here Sunday!
*We also have something super fun going on Sunday after her arrival, but it's top secret so I can't talk about it
*One week away from the bachelorette party
*Getting my hair trimmed and colored tomorrow
*Still have a few craft projects to finish

That's all I can think of right now.

P.S. I found a job. Don't get too excited though because it's only 2 days a week. I'll write more about it later. I'm working at Lakeport Furniture and Design and my boss is super sweet and the furniture is really nice. Come buy something from me because I receive commission. Thanks :)
