roberts.overt.org
Loyal readers: I bring tidings of good news! Thanks to Bryan, Matt and I now have our own gallery, located at http://roberts.overt.org, where we will be able to post our pictures! Our first album will be, of course, the honeymoon, which I'm working on as I post this. Now that I have my computer set up, I'll try and make the time to post my wedding and honeymoon stories and thoughts. But the apartment is still such a mess and there are so many things to do that I'm not sure when I'll get around to it. Maybe one part at a time. :)

(excited)
So I'm sitting at my computer, killing time until Mom and Dad bring Leslie home from DFW. Yesterday's shift at work and Leslie's arrival really mark the beginning of wedding week for me. I don't work again until July (crazy!). Tomorrow the bridesmaids are going to the ranch for the night, my own low keyed bachelorette-type thing. Then Matt has his boys' party on Wednesday evening - he and his groomsmen are going to the Ranger game in their own suite. Very late on Wednesday night, Bryan comes to Dallas! Thursday is free until rehearsal (free, yeah right, that just means that nothing official is scheduled!). The dinner is at Maggiano's, which should be very yummy! Then Friday is full of craziness: a bridesmaid luncheon for the womenfolk, followed by hair and makeup, while Matt gets a bowling party thrown in his honor at Mount Vernon on White Rock Lake (random info on Mount Vernon and bowling here and here. Then we all converge on the Arboretum and wahoo! We also have a celebratory BBQ the next night at our house, and then on Sunday Matt and I leave for Banff! And get back on the 26th!
So yes, that's my schedule for the next two weeks :) I don't know how much time I'll have to post between now and the 27th...maybe a lot of little posts like this one, maybe one big one, maybe nothing. We'll just see. I'm excited.
Oh, and one more thing. I got my bridal portrait done at the Arboretum on Thursday (I thought the pictures turned out awesome). The pictures are on a website and available for viewing with a password. If you want to look at the pictures (basically a ton of different shots of me in my dress, with my bouquet), ask me for the info!

Long Promised Pictures
At long last, I bring you...duckling pictures! And a bonus!
The ducklings enjoy the pool.
Duckling cluster under Mama Duck.
Murphy as a tiny puppy! (plus puppy versions of Leslie, Emily Watkins, and Cameron)

*New Cell Number*
I just got a new cell phone, rate plan, and phone number. If you need the new number, post a comment or shoot me an e-mail and I'll get it to you!
Countdown time!
I say countdown time. But let me be honest - I've been counting down for roughly 50 days now. :) The wedding is now 13 days away! Less than two weeks! Eek (of happiness). Now I have to think about what's worthy of report in the last couple weeks...
On May 23, I had some of my work friends down to the mini-ranch. Malaika, Stephanie, Jennifer and I went down Monday afternoon and spent the night. Steph and Jen had to get back on Tuesday morning, but Malaika and I stayed until Mom and Dad left that afternoon. We had a great time - horseback riding, cow feeding, badminton playing, eating, swimming in the lake...they appreciated Murphy's wonderful personality, too, which was great. And Mom and Dad were amazing hosts, making my friends feel very special. It was fun to share the mini-ranch with some friends from work. :) That Friday Matt and I went back down to the ranch to spend the first half of Memorial Day weekend. But before that, I had my first ever facial! It was a plan hatched by the girls while we were floating in the lake, and the four of us went to the Ogle School of Hair Skin and Nails on that Friday. I thought it was awesome. Besides a machine facial, I had an enzyme exfoliation and my eyebrows waxed (ouch! also a first). Then Matt and I trundled to the ranch, where it was never hot enough to get in the lake, but we had a good time hanging out, watching Star Wars Episode IV with Mom and Dad, relaxing, feeding livestock, and playing LOTS of badminton.
Matt and I returned to Dallas on Sunday so I could go to work. Besides working my normal Sunday 6pm - Monday 8am overnight shift, I was assigned to work from midnight Monday - 8am Tuesday. So, I got home from work on Monday morning, slept from about 9-4, had a nice Memorial Day cookout with the Roberts and messed around there for a bit, and then went back to work! It really went okay, though. I'm getting used to the whole overnight experience and recovery.
On Thursday Mom, Dad, Susie, John and I went to the Arboretum along with Christine Craddock (she's playing music before the wedding ceremony) and her mom for a detailed walkthrough and discussion with our Arboretum wedding coordinator. It was very cool being able to talk details! Then that night, Mom, Matt, and I met with the DJ. All these plans falling into place! So cool! But today was the best - I tried on my wedding dress for the last time with Laurie! I get it tomorrow when she's done sewing on the pearls. It looks amazing :) :) :) Mom took a couple pictures, so e-mail if you are interested. I can't post them here because of Mr. Matty. :)
There, I think we're all caught up! Oh, right - my computer seems to be fixed now. I'm writing this update on it, and that makes me happy. Luke's the best.
