The Buerglers

I found this floating around the internet on a few blogs I occationally read.  Love this idea and thought it would be the perfect way to celebrate our 2nd anniversary. 10/10/09 was the big day.  We were married in the Catholic church where I work and we are actively involved in ministry. Attending : I think we were right around 200 guests Bridesmaids : We decided on a smaller wedding party that included just family.  All the ladies made couples with the guys. L-R:   Leeann (Eric's sister), Katie (my sister), Me (holla), Deirdre (my brother's then girlfriend / nephews mama), and Paige (my other brother's wife) Catering: The reception site we chose did their own catering and cake. The family owned two restaurants before owning/operating the reception venue.   Appetizers.  The cake. Cake fight. And then this happend. Dress: I walked in the store and immediately picked this off...

This time of year it's so easy for me to fall in the traps of routine, the mundane, and a little seasonal depression.  Instead of focusing on all the whining I could do right now, I want to focus on some celebrations in our life. 3. My ankle is on the mend .  My physical therapist cleared me to start walking up to two miles, and to pepper in some jogging as I see fit.  I have a to clear a 14 point list of benchmarks before I am totally free from physical therapy, but in the mean time, I am free to work out on my own and check in every 10 days or so.  This is better than the two days a week I've been doing the last four to six weeks. I walked three times this week, roughly 2+ miles each time.  Feels so good to enjoy the brisk 44 degrees (and sunshine) it's finally warmed up to be.  I was getting a little tired of my stationary bike rides at my apartment complex gym. 2.   I met my new boss.  As many of you know my former boss pass...

I know this is a bit late, but I saw it today for the first time and wanted to share with those of you who are out of town or maybe missed it on the news too.

This Christmas began with a bit of sadness as my boss and pastor passed away unexpectedly from complications of leukemia.  I spent most of the week preceeing Christmas at work helping set up the funeral receptions and photo gallery.  Selfishly I needed to be working to help myself cope with the loss in a hands on way.  It was good to laugh and cry with my coworkers all week.  The funeral was beautiful, the receptions were healing, and going to the burial was just the closure that I needed. My family was so patient with me and understood I needed a low-key Christmas and we had just that. Christmas in the Corsetti Family usually is it's own Octave of events.  This year was no different, however it was more spread out, which made it feel less hectic than usual. The events started the week before Christmas with Christmas dinner at my parents.  David and Paige were in town so they opened their presents, we exchanged sibling gifts,...
