lost has been found.....I know I said I was going to post pictures from the last shower and right after I said that I lost my camera.....=) I found it now but have not had time to post pics yet......SORRY!
So.....I dont know if you all knew this BUT the wedding is only 8 days away....YES 8!!!!! I can not believe it but I am sooooo excited, so excited to the extent to where I am losing sleep at night! I was afraid this was going to happen because in the past when I have been in a wedding or even just invited to one of my friends weddings I am not able to sleep the night before, so this being MY wedding I was anxious to see how my sleeping habits were going to be affected, I will tell you I did not think the sleep would be disrupted allready! HA! I just have so much on my mind when I go to bed ( I honeslty did not know my mind would hold this much ....hahahaha) and also the pure excitetment is keeping me awake=) From here on out thigs are going to be crazy busy and I am super super excited to soak it ALL in!! Hope to see you all in 8 days!
Future Mrs. Cave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shower #3
Shower number 3!!
This past weekend my dads sisters threw me a wedding shower at my aunt Janets house........FUN FUN FUN!! I was so happy that alot of my family could make it as well as Brads mom, grandma, sister and niece!! Also, My friends Jamie and Katie and Katies little girl Lily were able to come =) I was alittle worried that the shower was going to have to get canceled because of the snow but come shower time the snow was pretty much gone =).
Brad and I have been very busy these past couple of weeks trying to get everything ready for the wedding and Brad started Track a few weeks back. My aunts and mom have been soooooo great when it comes to helping me plan the wedding.....they have super super creative ideas!! Brad and I have also been taking our marriage classes, we are done with the priest part of it but now we are having to meet with a married couple from the church and they have this book we go over in a total of 5 sesstions and each session is an hour and a half long!!! Thankfully the couple is great and really the things that they are telling us are really really helpful info and it is just great advise that Brad and I will use the rest of our lives! The only downfall is that Brad and I are super busy and so is this couple....but this Thursday we have a meeting and after that we have one more!
My friends have been great sending me lists and lists of things I need to remember to do for the wedding....like little stuff I would not think of BUT, and this is a BIG BUT.......Each and everyone of them FORGOT to mention the MARRIAGE LICENSE!!!!! I was at work yesterday and one of my co workers said something about a marriage license and I looked at her with the biggest eyes EVER and started to freak out a bit! I am not even kidding you, if she would not have said anything I dont think Brad or myself would have remembered at all until the priest said something the day before or the day of and that would have been too late considering you need to fill out an application and after you fill that out it takes 3 days to get the license.....OH BOY! Thank God Kelly said something =) Brad and I are going tomorrow morning to the courthouse with a whitness!
Everything else is going great and Brad and I can hardly contain our excitement...we wish the wedding was tomorrow =)
I will post pictures from the shower tonight or tomorrow (this is for you sister!! Laura lives in North Carolina so she has missed out on the showers and that just KILLS her sO that is why I NEED to post the pics!!)
HAPPY SPRING

Busy Bee
Sorry I have not blogged in awhile and I do not have any pictures this time....woopsies!!
Well, where to start.....
Brad and I have constantly been working on wedding stuff...2 weekends ago we worked on invited...the WHOLE weekend!! We finished thanks to the help of our friend Megan....once they were sent out I felt like I had 20 pounds lifted off of my shoulders!
This past weekend Brad and I went to Des Moines......
We got there about 9 on Friday night and went out on the town with Brads brother, brother in law and sister...it was way fun!
The next morning Brad and I went to do one of my favorite things...we went to a coffee shop and had coffee!!!! I dont know why I love doing this but I do.....I know Brad was not thrilled but he acted like he was excited about it because he knows how much I love doing this.....he even found something he likes=) you know what this means right?!?!?! WE GET TO DO IT AGAIN=) wow...I get excited about the dumbest things...sorry=)
After Brad and I were all buzzed up on coffee we went to target and bed bath and beyond to add/subtract from our registery.
Brad and I then went to the mall for awhile .....I stayed at the mall while Brad went back to his sisters and my friend ashley and her broha picked me up to head to red lobster to meet our other friend maria for lunch........YUMMO!!!! Maria, ash, jorda, and myself spent the rest of the day shopping our butts off!! It was fun getting to spend some time with my wonderful friends!!
We went out to eat for supper that night with Brads fam ...that was pretty much our weekend in DM.
On Sunday we headed to D town to have lunch with my mom dad and brothers.....Brad left at 1 to head back to his G pas B day and I stayed the night on Sunday. While I qwas home my mom and I went to the hall to get a wedding workout in..we sweated our butts off!!! =)
So.....sorry to bore you with all of this info....but thats my life =)
I am going to Omaha this weekend with my mom to meet my aunts to work on wedding stuff =)
Only 40 days....YES I said 40 days. I will be Mrs. cave before I know it....WOOP, cant wait!!

Showers!!
In the past 2 weeks I have had 2 showers....they were both soooo much fun and something that I will never ever forget!!! It is so weird to have an event that is focused around you....I felt SOOOo spoiled! And the gifts....I can not believe how generous and thoughtful people are! Thank you everyone!!
The first shower was put on by my Dotzler side. We had brunch and the food was YUMMO!! Next we played some games ....one where the guest had to answer questions about me...Maria won...she must know me well =) then we played the tiolet paper bride game. This is where you are spilt into teams and you have to make a toilet paper dress...I had to pick the winner and the winner was Ann Graeve...but they were all super fantastic!! Next we opened gifts...all great. One of the neato ideas was that each guest was to bring an ornament for Brad and I ....all of the ornaments are so neat and unique, and Brad and I have enough to fill our first christmas tree next christmas!!!! Such a GOOD idea! Such a fun shower....WOWZERS!!!
The next shower was in Marcus and was given by Brads family. This shower was a come and go shower. again was a brunch .....I ate and then right away started opening gifts..the guest ate, came and went as they pleased, and watched me open gifts. Hoooly moly the gifts we got!! We got SOOOO many gifts....mostly from people I dont know ..like elder ladies in the community...how nice thO!!!! I am so happy that people in the town I am going to live are sooo nice!! The shower was so so so fun!!
Saturday afternoon and alllllll day sunday brad and I put away gift ....this took FOREVERRRR....but so worth it!!
Thanks again to everyone that hepled, came or gave a gift..Brad and I are so blessed to have such great family and friends!!

It's setting in =)
What I mean by it's setting in is that the wedding is really getting closer then I have realized!! This past weekend was panning planning planning!! It all started on Saturday morning when I had to meet with the flower lady to pick out all of the flowers that are going to use for the wedding. after that I met my aunt Lisa and aunt Peg at the parish hall where we are having the reception and pictured what we are going to do for decorationS and really got a good visual for that. Sunday I went down to Omaha with my mom and had my dress fitted..still fits =) So.....this weekend I have a shower in Defiance that the Dotzler side is throwing for me and next Saturday I have another shower in Marcus that Brads family is throwing for me.....so basically the only thing that is on my mind is WEDDING, and that is the only thing that is going to be on my mind for the next 73 days =) GET EXCITED! This past Saturday we also had a birthday party for the wonderful Donald Keane....AKA best grandpa in the entire world. My mom and dad had all of the Keane's over and we had 4 different kinds of homemade soup AND homemade ICE CREAM......ohhhh sooooo good! My little cousin Emma who is one of my flower girls thought that it would be fun if she could spend the night with me and then go along to the dress fitting...I tell you what, for her only being 8 ( I think) she is really fun...she is so girly and a little fashionista its so funny. So, overall it was a great weekend filled with family!! I will post pictures next week from the shower!!
