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

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family.  Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake  :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...

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...

It's Santa Time!

Kevin and I kicked it up a notch this year for our annual visit to Santa with dinner at Hamanasu followed by a night at the Hyatt! We've been waiting to make this a bigger deal (add the overnight piece) for a few years, but this was the first year we felt the kids were old enough for it - and it was sooo much fun!
