Each day to the fullest

We are 4 days away from the "big day" and both of us are so excited! We feel totally relaxed and have everything out of the way....now it's time to sit back, relax and soak in this last week for all it's worth. We have so many things to look forward to: boating with Kevin's family tonight, BBQ at my parent's tomorrow night, spending an evening with Matt & Stacy on Thursday, then obviously the weekend ahead!

I sit here wishing we could hold these moments captive, but that's not possible. We will live through these events and treasure the memories forever, but we cannot hit pause.

Saturday we will walk down the aisle, say "I Do", then spend the rest of our lives together.  How awesome is that?!

I can hardly wait for the future ahead, and treasure all the memories we've had so far.

I remember the first time I meet Kevin; my friend Lisa and I were going up the elevator at work ready to start the day at Softchoice. Kevin was the only other person in the elevator and while I'd never spoken to him, I thought: "I wonder what it'd be like to date someone like that?"

Kevin was different from other guys I knew.... dressed in khakis, a long sleeved stripped shirt, and a messenger bag. "What kind of guy carriers a messenger bag?" This thought crossed my mind and intrigued me, but it was a moment in time, a fleeting thought, and I never looked back to reflect on it until later that year.

As most of you know, Kevin and I officially met at a company outing in October of 2007. I never would have dreamed I would date (let alone marry!) him, but after hanging out and going on a few dates, I realized that while we didn't have a ton of shared interests, we really enjoyed spending time with each other.... and he's really funny; my numero uno requirement!

So fast forward a three years, and here we are about to say "I Do". I feel so lucky to have found such an amazing and loyal guy and I cannot wait to marry him.

I guess what I'm saying is that I'm on cloud 9! I couldn't be happier than I am at this moment.

...and I wanted to write it out in an effort to bottle this moment in time.

To our future and many, many years ahead!  I love you, Kevin.

Love,

Soon-to-be-Mrs. Lauckner

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

Cocina Esperanza

Just had to give a shout out to our new restaurant find!  Kevin and I were driving around the Sunset Hill / Blue Ridge neighborhoods last weekend and came upon this little Mexican restaurant.  A very unassuming place...small brick building near the corner of NW 85th & 30th Ave (right next to the north entrance of Golden Garden's and Shilshole Bay Marina).  We finally got around to checking it out late last week, and oh boy, have we been missing out!! Now, any of you who know me, know I'm a self proclaimed Mexican food connoisseur...and by connoisseur, I mean boarder line obsessive.  I love all things Mexican cuisine...especially melted cheese.  So I should admit; their whole "authentic" label had me a bit apprehensive ...."will there be enough melted cheese on my food??"   was sadly my first thought  (hey, I'm pregnant...give a girl a break!)  So, late last week, we wandered in, found a nice table by the window, ordered t...

Two!

Yesterday you turned two; I can hardly believe it! Two year pictures, wearing a dress I wore when I was little You are such a funny, sweet little girl, and I love seeing your personality unfold more each day.  This last month you've really started coming out of your shell and love making people laugh; whether tickling "gee gee gee gee" , or joking around (the other day you took a doll house high chair and pretended to sit in it...all the while looking back at me smiling and laughing like "look, I'm going to try and sit in this teeny highchair!" ), you sure know how to make us laugh. Music is your first love.  Beach Boys Greatest Hits is the current album favorite , so we listen to it in the car every day.  Mainly to Barbara Ann (you always request "ba ba ba" ).  You also love listening to Swiss music with Grandma and having Dad play "Abigail Loves Cheese" on his guitar when he gets home at night. Schwingfest is this Saturday a...
