Feb. 9th Festivities

Because I'm never either home long enough or awake when I'm home I'm going to do this without pictures for now & I'll add pictures sometime this weekend :)

What had originally been planned to be a nice evening out with Dan's parents and my Aunt Sue & Uncle Ken and cousins at Fox's in Orland turned into somewhat of a family reunion at Ken & Sue's home.

My Aunt & Uncle we kind enough to open their home to not only Dan's parents, grandparents, aunts & uncles but also to my aunt & uncle & gramma and cousins on my Dad's side. It had been quite some time since the Schusslers and McCues had gotten together, I think Shannon said over 20 years, which is why I wouldn't remember :)

So I'd like to say Thank You! to Gramma Mary, Aunt Sis & Uncle Mike, Bill, Jake, Billy, Don & Beth, Ace, Shelly & Alexander for coming out and celebrating with us! We hope to see you all again very soon!!

Also, Thank You! to Grandma & Dziadz, Auntie, Chrissy, Rob & Julie! It was great having you all there and I hope my family didn't scare ya too much :)
Thank You! to Dan's parents for suggesting having a get together before the wedding. Now it will feel like everyone is seeing old friends in a couple months!

Thank You! to Jack & Michelle and Alan & Shannon and of course Kit, Lily, Finn & Jack! Thank you Michelle for the wonderful cake and Shannon & Alan for the beautiful flowers.

I had a wonderful time seeing everyone and of course seeing everyone together! I really can't wait until November 1st now, because I know we're going to have an awesome reception!!

To Uncle Ken and Aunt Susie, thank you again! We really appreciated you opening your home to everyone and we also thank you for your love and support!!

in reply to the comment you left on my page: YES, anytime you wanna go to the zoo (as long as it's above 60), gimme a call and I'll be there :) - I wanna take at least one trip to the Milwaukee zoo this year too!! It's been like 5 years since I've been there, probably actually longer! :( - but vilas is pretty awesome too! and anytime you wanna try your dress on, gimme a call :) LOL I asked Adam if he wanted to see my dress last night cuz I so desperately wanted to try it on, but he said no - he'll wait until the wedding to see it :(
