Here comes the Bride....

Hey girls! This is my last post as a "single" woman!

Yep, tomorrow is our long awaited wedding day!!

I am SOOOOO excited, Brian is freaking out a bit about all the attention and 180 people to talk to tomorrow!

He's not the social butterfly like I am... can you believe that?? LOL

Just wanted to thank you all for sharing this wonderful journey with me... and know that if I could have invited you all and flown you in from all your states and countries I WOULD have! The more the merrier, right?? I LOVE YOU ALL! The amount of support, love, guidance, prayers and gifts from you all has been PHENOMENAL! This has been the best journey blogging all my thoughts and dreams of our wedding day with all of you! Just now that as I walk down the aisle tomorrow, my heart will be overflowing with all of your love too!

Today is a crazy busy day so I'd better get a move on it but just wanted to pop in and say HEY!

I am going to try to blog a few pics from the wedding late Sunday night or on Monday before we leave for our honeymoon ♥ to TN!! I cannot wait to show you all my dress... I feel SO beautiful in it; its like no feeling that I've ever had!

Please say a little prayer for nice weather tomorrow for us and that everything goes smoothly!

All my love,

Noelle ♥

All Sorts of Things ♥

Hey there girls! Wowie, its less than 3 days till the wedding now!

Just wanted to show you all some goodies/gifts that I/we have gotten:)

My friend Mandy gave me this adorable frame @ my bachelorette party!
I love frames!!

We recieved a gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond in the mail for my shower so I used it to purchase this pretty wedding frame; I also got us our shower hooks and a new toilet seat (we needed it! lol)

Last Saturday, this big old package arrived from Fed Ex...

Our Paula Deen cookware!

I was SOOOO excited to get some new pots and pans; I have used the same T-Fal set for over 10 years now and its gotten very worn out!

Brenda, everytime I cook now I'll think of you ♥

On Monday, I came home to 2 packages from 2 darling Bloggin Gals that I love!

This sweet package of gingerbreads came from my Sweet Pea, all the way from Canada, "just because"!

Love the 3 lil plush kids, the one is a container with a lid (too cute) and a sweet notepad! Thanks PEA!

The other package came from my friend Katie!

She sent me LOTS of scrapbooking wedding supplies and a spiral bound wedding album set from Memory Makers!

She also added in some other wedding stickers and doo-dads for me to use on the boys albums too!

And Katie sent this super cute notebook for me to use next semester!! Thanks Katie!!

Oops, this cute gingerbread man lotion came from Pea too!

It smells yummy!!

I was at Target today and found these 2 cute ornaments!

I love the pinks and aquas I am seeing this year on trees!

And to put those colors on a white tree would be FAB!!

Hmm... I am thinking of changing my living room tree up a bit this Christmas!

Guess you'll have to wait and see what I do!

___________________________________________________________________________

This week has been pretty crazy for me... not with wedding things, per say.

Yesterday I bumped myself and felt a really bad pain in my right breast.

I noticed a small "lump" on the inside, and panicked immediately!

Went to the dr. today and they did a breast exam and told me not to worry, it seemed to be a swollen gland...

come to find out that in my case of having Insulin Resistance, when my Insulin levels spike (like when I eat a bunch of halloween candy that I'm not supposed to...) it can totally throw off my hormone levels... causing this to happen.

Well, speaking of hormones...

guess which AUNT of mine is slowly making her way into TOWN right before my WEDDING and HONEYMOON!!!???!!! Ugh, I have been thinking for the past two months that "Aunt Flo" would be here for the wedding and sure enough... BUMMER!!!

So I am hoping I am in the clear by Tuesday when we got on our honeymoon! UGH!!

The joys of being a woman... :(

Sorry if that was TMI for ya!!

Sometimes a girls just gotta vent!

Well, I love you all SO much and cannot wait to share some pics and details with you of our wedding day!!

Please say a little extra prayer for my daddy who most likely won't be back in town for the wedding, so SAD! At least he is being well taken care of and getting some time to rest before he begins radiation!

Hope you all are having a great week!

Love,

Noelle ♥

GIRLS NIGHT OUT!!!

Hey there! Boy am I having a heck of a time getting on here to post!!

Sooo much to do this week before the WEDDING... only 4 more days!!!

Here is ME ready for a NIGHT on the TOWN! Got my shirt at Target last Friday for $14!!

Here is one of my cakes with the HOTTIE Chris Daughtry on it!!

My darling boss and friend, Becky made me another cake that resembled something I probably shouldn't show on my blog, hahaha!!

Pink/black was the theme... cute balloons!

This gift bag CRACKED me up!

I did NOT need to use the BARF BAG though:)

Here is me and my sweet pal Heather!

Girlfriends... Mandy, Wendy, Jen and Amie.

Amie on the right wearing black is my soon to be sister in law; Wendy on the left with the glasses is my Matron of Honor.

Carrie, Becky (in the back with brown on is my boss/friend that made the naughty cake), Heather and Valerie (on right in back is my BFF and maid of honor!)

Clockwise from back- gal in red, Vida then Heather, Kris (my friend from kindergarten in the blue, and Jen in brown.

We went to Hacienda first for dinner, margaritas, cake, gifts and a naughty game;)

Jen; bought me the gift in the Bachelorette Barf bag.

(Can't exactly show what the gift was...)

Me @ the club... maybe after a couple drinks... maybe? LOL

More pics to come...

I've gotta get moving to go for my final fitting today AND

I'm hoping that dress FITS now!

Chat later,

Noelle ♥

My bachelorette party was SO MUCH FUN!

I will be posting pics tomorrow:)

♥~~6 more days till our wedding ~~♥

Hugs,

Noelle ♥

Paaaaaarrrrrrtttttty time!!

Hey girls!

Tomorrow night is my Bachelorette Par-tay!! Woo-hoo!

Can't wait to sip a few sweet drinks, open embarrassing gifts and dance with my girls ♥

I went to see my dad today and he is doing really good!

Still trying to find a short term rehab for him back here in SB; as opposed to him being 3 hours away like he is now! Don't know if he will be back here in time for the wedding though:(

Makes me sad!! We've grown so close through this whole process and I really really want him to be there on our wedding day! Keep praying girls, keep praying!!

Can't wait to take some fun pics tomorrow night and show them off to you on Saturday!!

Hope you all have a great weekend; what are your plans??

~Mrs. K... in just 8 days!!!!! ♥

(Noelle)

Put your SHADES on!! Wedding BLING!

Hey girls! Time to show off some of the BLING for our wedding day... which BTW is... 11 days away!!

These are the FAB vintage clip on earrings that I purchased off ETSY to use as SHOE CLIPS for my sexxxy wedding heels!! LOVE ♥

Here is the soon to be Mr. K's wedding band!

He picked a simple TUNGSTEN band; he's a manly man and doesn't want too much flash on his ring finger;)

Here is my pretty band!!

I actually got 2 of these bands; one for above my engagement ring and one for under it.

The 3 rings will be saudered (sp?) together as one!

It just made everything sparkle sooo much nicer!

My ring finger is NAKED though till the 12th when the rings are finished:(

Here is the pretty room where we will be staying on our wedding night ♥

(I booked it for the night before for myself, want to get some zzzz's so I can be the most lovely bride I can be the next day!!! Actually, I didn't want to have to run around like a mad woman trying to get out of the house on the morning of the wedding!! ME with KIDS= ALWAYS running LATE!!)

This is the living room of our Honeymoon Cabin!!

I will be lounging in there with my HUSBAND in just 2 weeks ♥

I have always dreamed of sitting by a fireplace snuggled up to the man I love and EEEK, its finally about to come true!!

What a journey our 9 years together has been!!

Lots of rough hills that we were able to climb together and get through!

So many wonderful memories including the births of our 2 sweet boys!!

I am so blessed to have this dream of mine coming true;

and am glad I can share it with all of you!!

Love,

Noelle ♥

Mrs. K in... just 11 days!!!!!!!!!
