How Something Little Can Be Something So Big!!

*My brother recently entered Woodrige Interventions which is a rehab center in Woodridge, IL. He entered treatment three days before my wedding which he was supposed to be in. That day while being one of the happiest days was also one of the sadest days of my life. I had to go on through the day like nothing was going on in my life and that I was as happy as can be while only some knew I was really dying inside!

*I was able to go and visit him for the first time on wednesday and I was amazed at what I saw. In just a few days by brother had accepted that he had an addiction, he had started to let God back into his life, and was finding the real person in himself who had been hidden in the dark for the last 4 years. This is his fourth time in a treatment center and this was the first time he actually admitted that he had a real problem and was going to finish out his full recovery.
I have never been so happy in my life then to see him last wednesday. He was my old brother again, and his will to fight this disease this time stole my heart! He still has a long way, but I believe he is on the right path and can fight this, he just needs our help. He can use all the thoughts and prayers he can get so im asking everyone, please pray for my brother! He is my life and means the absolute world to me! I want him to have a normal life, a life he can look forward to, a life without drugs!!

Renewal of Vows

Renewal of Our Vows

On June 15th of 2007 Matt and I got married in the Rockford Courthouse on one of his leaves from the military. None of our family was there and we wanted to include them in on our marriage so last weekend June 14th 2008 we renewed our vows in front of our families. It was a great weekend, that was full of lots of fun, visiting, and running around but mostly it was great to spend time with our families.

Here is a pic of Matt and I

Over the weekend I also got to meet someone very special, her name is Lucy Sky Mikolajczyk!

She is absolutely beautiful and looks exactly like her mother Kelly. Oh by the way Lucy is my new second cousin. She lives in Florida with John, Kelly, Kevin, and Pancake! I was so happy I got to meet her, I just wish I could have spent a little more time with her.

Here is a picture of Matt, Me, Lucy, and Kel. Isnt Lucy so beautiful! She even had on a little daisy dress!

*Here is a pic of a few other special people who attended the wedding. Grandma looked so cute, she really was a trooper. She even got out and danced with my dad and my cousin Matt!!

It was such a fast weekend, now when I look back there was a lot of people I didnt get to talk much to and get pictures with but I love you all and will be back to visit soon!

Bridal Shower #2

Fowler Bridal Shower

The weekend of March 15th I had my last bridal shower back home in Indiana. It was so great to see all of my family all at once and to actually get to spend time with them! Matt and I recieved a ton of great gifts for our new house and our first camping trip together! We are so excited!! Even Malice liked our gifts(well mostly just the tissue paper)! My family is really the best and went to a lot of trouble to put my shower together, and I am very thankful for what they had to do to make it such a wonderful time! Now we are just waiting for the day Matt and I can renew our vows, the day before our 1 year anniversary!! I cant beleive ive almost been married a year, back up, I cant beleive im married! Haha! I just wanted to let everyone know I had a wonderful time at my shower and I cant wait to see everyone at the wedding!!

My 21st B-Day!!

My 21st Birthday

For my 21st Birthday we went to the Wheel Inn in South Beloit, IL. My husband Matt, my dad and his girlfriend, my mom and her boyfriend, Colette, and some of the people dad works with all came. When I walked into the bar everyone in the bar sang me happy birthday!! It was neat but kinda embarrassing!!
1st drink- Yaeger Bomb(not so good, I gagged)
2nd drink- Miller Lite(the best choice of the night)
3rd drink-strawberry Cheesecake shot which you can see in the picture above
4th drink-Chocalate Cake shot-in the picture below
5th drink-Show of tequila rose(not one of my favorites)
6th drink-Miller Lite(by this time I had become a cheap date cause i was feeling pukish!!
Over all I had a pretty good time, but turning 21 isnt such a big deal! Drinking really isnt my thing, but im glad I got to experience the bar for the first time with my family, the ones that mean the most to me!



B

My God Son!

This is Caden Michael Bouslog my Godson. Last friday night Matt and I had dinner with our best friends Andrea and Coley. At dinner we were asked to be Caden's Godparents! I was so touched and excited!! Caden's Mother and I have been friends since highschool and then we both got married on the same day! Weird Huh! Well I was there the day that Caden Michael came into this world and it was the most amazing and gross thing ever! Never would I have imagined that someone as small as him could impact my life in such a way, that is irriplacable. Isn't he so cute!!

Shower #1

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

Johnathon and mom threw me a bridal shower over the weekend, for some friends and their mothers. It was a very nice day, we played a few games, we had some food, opened gifts, and chatted. I loved every minute, I know I wasnt to keen on having any showers since I am already married but I have to admit I had a lot of fun!! All I can sayd is Bring on the next one!!

Malice Miller

Last Saturday, Febuary 2, 2008, Matthew and I got our new puppy Malice. She is a Bichon Frise and is now 8 weeks old. I guess you can say she is my little baby. When we brought her home she was welcomed home by her grandma, grandpa, and uncle.(hehe) Matt didnt want a dog but let me get one any ways, and he wasnt very fond of her, especially after he saw what she looked like after her first bath. The other day he was playing with her and I heard him say I love you to her. Once he knew I had heard him he took it make with a big grin and said no I hate you. (haha, He loves her) This was Malice's first bath. She looked like such a drowned rat when I was done with her.
