Hey everyone!! Hello from Hawaii! Jamie and I are in Paia just taking a minute to check email while Jamie prints out our car rental voucher for Kauai. The last 2 weeks have been fantastic and I still have another week to go!!! There is a lot to write about but not much time. When I was checkign my email I saw that Carolyn sent me her pics fromt he wedding. This is all that I have so far so I though those of you in Vevey might want a sneak preview. First thing you might notice is that my indoor wedding looks surprisingly indoors!!! It absolutely poured rain the whole time. It seemed to work out nicely though and everyone kept telling me that the wedding in front of the fireplace was quite romantic. So here you are! Your first pics (I hope Carolyn doesn't mind!)

Today is the real countdown to the wedding! We are officially on the 10 day weather forecast!! It is pouring down rain today and looks like it will rain again on Tuesday but then it should be high 60's and just partly cloudy. That should make some good pictures!

Today is my last day at work too and then I am off for the next 3 weeks. I'll be back after the honeymoon to put up some wedding pictures and then probably no more blog :( I'll figure it all out then....

Anyways, I'll see some of you in a week, I'll be the one in the big white dress!

We had our annual State of the Company meeting this morning. It was over at the Alex Theatre in Glendale. The entire Glendale building of people went over there and they also satellite sent it to our Purina people in St. Louis and Stouffers people in Ohio. I love going to this meeting. We walk in and on the screen are pictures rolling of employees and their families with Nestle products (they had asked people to send in pics) They then showed a 5 minute video or clips from tv shows, news, etc of Nestle products on tv. It is all so inspirational and just gives you a warm fuzzy feeling about working here.

Over the weekend, Jamie and I went to the ranch where the wedding will be and went over the setup with the person there. It was all so beautiful and green!!! I took a few pics just in case you want to see! Middle Ranch

There is nothing like the feeling of coming home. Flying home during the day, when you can see the ocean and the mountains and everything in between. I still get a big smile on my face and get excited!

I really liked St Louis. It is a very nice looking city. They are redoing the downtown and it shows. The buildings still look like they might have 100 years ago except they are clean so they don't look like they have been there for 100 years. The people were friendly and the food was good. Everyone told me that I need to come back in the spring. That would be nice but I am not planning any flying except the honeymoon for a good long time!!!!!

Wednesday morning at my mom's getting ready to fly to St Louis. I just checked the weather and it looks darn cold out there. It's super windy here so I won't miss much in the weather being gone.

I can't believe the wedding is only 2.5 weeks away! WOW! It was very exciting last night. Nancy and I were at the gym and I was saying good bye and we realized that I won't see her again until the wedding! She will be out all next week in Mexico and then I have the week before the wedding off work. EXCITING!!! EXCITING!!!
