Jenny:
Your wedding day is quickly approaching. Congratulations!!
In order to complete your marriage packet/paperwork, I need to know the names of your official witnesses. I had recorded Allen & Carolyn Migl. Will there be others or is that it? Please let me know. I also need a "Post Marriage Mailing Address," please. Do you have one? Do you know where you'll be living after the wedding? Or, should I just use one of the addresses that you and Nicholas gave me as your addresses? If so, which one should I use?
This information will ultimately get everything wrapped up. Then, all will be in place for March 29...as long as you remember to bring your civil marriage license to the rehearsal!
Blessings,
Father Bob
It's approaching very quickly! We are so excited about this joyous day.
Allen and Carolyn Migl, Marilyn Goerig, and Charles George will all be witnesses. We're headed to pick up the marriage license today!
Also, our new address will be:
Nicholas and Jenny Popp
419 Blanche
Wharton, TX 77488
Thanks so much!
Jenny
Thanks for the quick response. This now means that as far as the Church is concerned everything is ready to go!!!! Good luck with any other final preps.
Blessings,
Father Bob

Somedays it's all worth it...
During our calendar time we were talking about how I was going to be gone for "lots of days." Several students have been begging me to not be gone for so long. However, I've been yearning and getting through each day knowing that Spring Break was on it's way. I've been at my wits end for the past couple of weeks with teaching. I've got so much on my mind with the wedding and the kids have really been crazy. We all think it's because they didn't get enough time off at Christmas. They are just as burned out as all of us. After we were breaking to our tables, Preston, one of my VERY favorite little guys, came up to me and gave me a big hug. His eyes were a little teary and said, "I bet Mr. Popp thinks that you are so beautiful. You are the best teacher in the whole world." He left me breathless. It was a moment I needed as even my good little kids have been acting out.
He'd be your favorite too! Just look how cute he is AND he's such a gentleman. The girls aren't stupid either, they all are in love with him already. He's already got 12 girlfriends and can name them all. He's got really cool parents...his dad cuts Nick's hair and his Mom does mine (reminds me that I need to make an appointment SOON!) He's got a handsome twin brother and a super cute little brother that I'm hoping to have in a few years. You just gotta love this kid!

17 Days
And I'm officially starting to panic. Maybe I've said that before, but it's really true now. I know that all the major details are taken care of so it will be perfect, but it's the small ones that we keep putting off.
Monday night I lay awake in bed, wide-eyed and bushy tailed from 2:00am-4:30am. At least that was the last time I looked at my phone. I kept going over several things that I needed to get done in my head. Finally, I got out of bed and went to make a list. I thought that would put me back to sleep, but I still laid there another hour. When 6:30 came, I was hating life.
Last night I was going through more things and making more lists when I realized that I don't have a garter yet! How in the world can this be? I've been looking for garters online since we got engaged, but never found the perfect one. Not that it's a big deal to have "the perfect" garter, but there are lots of ugly ones out there. More uglies than pretties.
Tomorrow Mom is coming up and we are going shopping in Sugar Land to take care of these petty details. The main reason for going to SL is because it will be Jamie's 31st birthday. Unfortunately, she has Bunco tomorrow night and any woman who plays Bunco, knows that you can't miss it! She tried to get me to sub with her group, but that would make 3 Bunco nights in a month...that might burn me out. Plus, I'd get home really late.
Keep your fingers crossed that we finish off everything tomorrow! Sorry that I don't have any bachelorette party pictures up, I'm waiting for some lovely bridesmaids to send me some the pics. I knew better than to take my camera.

Self-Inflicted Sickness
Gone are my days of partying. Why, you ask? Well, I had my bachelorette party on Saturday and realized that I'm getting old and can't hang. Partying all night definitely got the best of me. Sunday was TERRIBLE! I woke up feeling great. Then a little bit of a headache started coming on. I figured I could handle it...I just didn't want to get a stomachache. Unfortunately, the stomachache did come. When I stood up I wanted to vomit, but couldn't. The only time I felt good was when I was asleep. Therefore I slept til who knows when, took a shower, took a nap, pryed myself outta bed, went to the alteration lady's house, packed up, and headed to Wharton. It was the worst and longest drive of my life.
My phone died on the trip back and my car charger is broken, so that made the trip even longer. Nick was at Luke's house so I went there to tell him I was going to the house. I couldn't hang around for the birthday party. I went to the house and went right to bed. It was about 7pm. Nick got home around 8 and I finally felt like I could eat something around 8:30. We went to KFC to get a chicken pot pie-the closest thing to noodle soup I could think of. I ate it and went back to bed. Today I'm back to normal. Thank God! No more self-inflicted sickness for me...well, that is, until Jamie and Jill's bachelorette parties.
Tomorrow I will tell about the bachelorette party and maybe post a few G-rated pictures.

Valentine's Day 2006 Pics
Remember the wonderful 2006 Valentine's Day that Nick and I had at Canyon Lake? Well, here are some of the pictures that we took that evening. It was an absolutely gorgeous sunset. I can't wait to go back there one day...one day when we have a speed boat to pull a giant tube with or for skiing.
Can you imagine riding on a boat during a sunset like this?
Ok, back to reality! I don't forsee a boat in our possession at any point in the future. Realistically, we wouldn't get our money's worth out of it, but it would be nice!

I'm Craving Punch
Not much has been going on here. I'm just anxiously awaiting this weekend. At some point on Saturday I have to meet my photographer in Austin to pick up my canvas portrait. At 10am, Nick's cousin, Robin, is getting married at Chapel Dulcinea. Then Sarah Beth and I will head to Shiner for the bachelorette party. I'm soooo ready for it. It'll be so much fun to hang out with all the girls for one last fling before the ring. I know that Trashcan Punch is on the menu and this makes me happy. Alicea makes the BEST TC punch ever. We've had it on many occasions and for some reason, people act really silly after they have a few glasses.
So many stories to tell because of that ol TC punch. Grandma Pohler had a very small glass a few years ago at the July 4th party. She loved it because she couldn't feel her arthritis! Who could forget Ross that same night? Huh puh wuh! I'm sure this Saturday night he will get a few late night calls with all of us screaming this famous phrase at him. His poor white shirt had to be ruined by the bright red drink. And then there was Craig catching on fire. Who would have known that a burning Koozie would stick to your Jesus sandal? He found out the hard way when his entire leg almost caught fire. Thank goodness Abby was there to put it out by pooring her beer on it...although she was very hesitant about wasting that beer on him! Then there's me...low domino and TC punch are NOT a good combination. And you thought I was going to tell on myself! We'll keep those stories unwritten, for my children might read this blog someday.

Wharton will never be the same
I'm trying to get Nick to do a guest blog, but I'm not sure if he'll ever have time to, so I'll do some of the updating. I don't know everything that went on there and I really don't wanna know. I do know that it was all good, clean fun.
Saturday Dad, Jaace, Ryan, Russell, Robbie, and Robert Pavelka all loaded up to head to Wharton. They all met up at our house and headed out of town at about 1:15. Yes, they looked like they were the President's bodyguards-all big guys packed into a big black burban. Before they even set foot in Mom's car, they all had a beer. I'm sure that they had several on the way there too. They seem to think the open container law doesn't pertain to them!
They arrive at their hotel, The Country Hearth Inn. Dad realizes that he left his wallet in his truck. The lady won't accept his out-of-town check so he calls Mom for the credit card number. (He had to save his cash for the dice games!) While he's on the phone the lady sees the name on the check and says, "Oh, your Chumchal, you stay here alot." Dad says, "Lady, don't say that, I'm on the phone with my wife." There is laughter in the background and she realizes it is Curtis Chumchal from Wharton.
Nick heads to the hotel to lead them to Country Crafts and Collectibles so that they can get measured for their tuxedos. When Nick arrives all of the guys are standing around the car drinking beer. This doesn't surprise me one bit, but it might have caught Nick offguard. Especially since there was a police officer parked right across the street. Russell jumps in Nick's truck with his beer. The cop pulls out behind Nick and swerves around him. I'd imagine that Nick was nervous. So, they get to CCC and all heck breaks loose. Poor Tricia will probably never think of me the same. Dad calls Mom again so that he can find out what size of shoes and pants Jaace wears. Everyone is laughing in the background as well as Tricia. Supposedly they were trying on the top hat that she had in the store. I can only imagine all the heck they are giving her.
After they were done with that, they wanted Nick to take them to a local bar. Well, unlike Shiner, there isn't a beer joint on every corner so Nick took him to the one that he knew of. Evidently, the locals weren't to keen on having foreigners in their territory. Eventually the people ended up liking all the guys and carried on with them for a while. Funny thing was, Curtis Chumchal, the guy that stays at Country Hearth alot was there. They all got a kick out of meeting him. They left the joint and headed to kick off the bachelor party.
Like typical Shinerites, the crew were the first ones at the party and the last ones to leave. Nick had a wonderful time until he excused himself to vomit at around midnight. The guys said he didn't return after that. Jake also had a great time. He ended up crashing on the ground, out of his chair at about the say time. Luke ended up driving them to our trailer across the pasture at about 1:30am. The next day, Nick was fine. You never would have known that he drank the entire day before.
Thank goodness you only get married once in your life! I hope that I feel as good as Nick does next Sunday!
