Too fun not to share!

Today I found a type of wine called Middle Sister. Their logo prominently features a red-headed middle sister, which makes me love it already. Instantly intrigued, and being a middle sister myself, and I looked up more about their products. They feature wines with names like wicked white, a forever cool merlot to a mischief maker cabernet.

My favorite though, is the rebel red wine.


Then I took their online quiz, and these were my results:

Apparently Doug took the quiz too, pretending to be me. He got the same results.

Life....

...is blissful!

That's all, okay byee!!

p.s. for fun, here's one of the oldest picture of Doug and I!

TA-DA!

Well, I must ask your forgiveness, if there's any of you left who read my blog. But here's my new header, which will change from time to time. I found a wonderful online scrapbook site that lets you create all kinds of things. (I've always wondered how people do it!) The only problem is, I don't know how to center the heading, and it sort of gives me a panicky feeling that it's crowded over to the right of the page. If anyone knows how to sort out this problem please let me know!

Anyway, the long and the short of it is that Doug and I are doing AWESOME! We absolutely LOVED Jamaica and are so grateful that the swine flu ruined our plans for Mexico! I posted pics on facebook, which you can go there to check out. I feel funny double posting those, but on that note, I am going to take a chill from facebook for awhile and concentrate on some other things.

COORDINATING WEDDINGS!

I have been hired by my first bride to coordinate her wedding in November. And just today, I have had conversations with 2 others about more weddings. Definitely more info to come, but I will dedicate most of that to the wedding blog! Which, of course, I'm not unveiling just yet. *Stay tuned*

Married life is wonderful, Doug and I have done some fun stuff lately, we went to a murder myster dinner last Friday to celebrate his birthday.





We had fun figuring out "whodunit" and although we didn't win, we did solve the crime correctly.
We're looking forward to the summer ahead - God had definitely been good to us. Doug is going to start the grad school application process, we should know where we're going by early next year. Whoa!!

Warning: Under Construction

The lack of posting is due to my long internal debate about what to do with this blog. As more time flew by, and I still hadn't written about all-things wedding, I dreaded even starting, because I have a lot to catch up on.

So, I am starting "fresh." Sure, you can look at my older posts and read up on the pre-Midkiff Stephanie. That girl had some emo moments that are now laughable!

As soon as I have wedding pictures, I will post them. The heading is under construction, and more Midkiff Mayhem will ensure shortly.

Fun With Google

This is a funny e-mail I got from Doug - he started googling my new name, "Stephanie Midkiff." And I thought only girls did stuff like that! This is what he found:


Good morning!!! It's actually Friday afternoon, but it is after 5 so I'm guessing you've left work. Here is some fun I had on google:

- You're a law librarian in Oregon:

- An apartment complex in Arizona sued you and some guy named Stan:

And you're on the playground committee at Sarah Smith Elementary school in Atlanta:

Good times.
Love you!!!!

Take Time To..

Okay, I've had my bachelorette party and 2 showers since I last posted. I am avoiding posting pics bc it will take forever and right now I just don't feel like putting in the effort.

My boss is performing a wedding for his grandson and asked me to type this up for him. I loved it, so I'm sharing it with you now.

Take Time to:

WORK
It is the price of success.

PLAY
It is the secret of perpetual youth.

THINK
It is the source of power.

READ
It is the foundation of wisdom.

PRAY
It is conversation with God.

LAUGH
It is music for the soul.

LISTEN
It is the pathway to understanding.

DREAM
It is hitching your wagon to a star.

WORSHIP
It is the highway of reverence.

LOVE AND BE LOVED
It is the gift of God.

And here's some pics to keep everyone happy till they're all posted..

Current Happenings

Lately I've been packing (sort of) and getting ready to move into our CONDO. We get our key this Sunday and officially start moving in next week. YAY!

Tonight is my bachelorette party and tomorrow is a shower and some girlfriends are staying with me, then Sunday Doug and I have our final marriage class with both sets of parents, brunch, the "key-receiving" ceremony, and then I am baptizing Doug that night at the Village. Busy? Yeah, a little. But I'm so excited about everything!!!!! Bring it on!

I will post pics of everything soon.

Until then, have a great Friday. I'm zooming out of here today at noon. :)
