My Bridal Shower

A couple weeks ago my family and friends had a bridal shower with me. They worked so hard planning together and decorating for it. Everything turned out great and I had so much fun talking to everyone that came. A great day filled with food, family, friends and fun!

Just some of the yummy food. Toppings for the frozen yogurt. YUM!

little wine bottles. 

Checking out the game 'How well do you know the bride?'

Me and my cute little flower girls.

Answering the questions of how well Daniel and I know each other. I look a little scared.

Back story to this picture: The question that Daniel was asked was 'What was you and Michelle's first day?'
Daniel got it half right saying that we went to the movies but got the movie wrong, the reason I am laughing. Daniel and I talked about it the other night and we both figured it out. So anytime we are asked we will know. :)

My mom, me and my soon-to-be mother in-law

Mom, me and my pretty sister.

Me and my girls. Can't wait until they are standing by me in 30 days. They are amazing friends!

Thank you Amy for taking these great pictures! You are the best!

99 days...

99 days until the BIG day!! You are probably wondering why I didn't blog about 100 days until our wedding but there were two reasons for that. One I had it in my brain that 100 days still seems like a lot of time because there are 3 numbers making up that 1 number. Then secondly I just didn't have time with student teaching. When I woke up I checked my wedding countdown, which I do daily and it said,  "99 days till our wedding!" I freaked a little in my head and automatically I thought of all the things I still have to do for June 8. I had minor anxiety attacks throughout the day of teaching and being at school when I had some down time to think of my wedding. I hope the 99 days go by slow but also want them to come really fast so I can finally be Mrs. Keim after 7 years of being with my wonderful man. 99 days...99 days..99 days keeps going through my brain. Now I am going to go sit on the couch, watch some reality TV and have a glass of wine. My anxiety level is getting higher.

Have a great weekend!!

i LOVE my dogs

Anybody that knows me knows that I love my dogs. I say I love them almost as much as people love their children. I saw a funny pin on pinterest that said something along the lines: When people bring up their children in conversation, I bring up my dogs. I laughed out loud because this is me. Well I finally downloaded my pictures from Christmas and saw that most of them are of my dogs Dora and Susie. Enjoy looking at my cute dogs. :)

Dora's normal spot, notice the blankets covering the couch.
I hate black hair on the couch

They love playing in the snow drifts. I love the fenced
in back yard!

Susie's normal spot, under the coffee table.

 These dogs make me happy for about 95% of the time but then there is that 5%. Now that all the snow is gone and the temperatures during the day have reached above 42 the backyard is so muddy. With my tired brain I wasn't thinking when I let them out this afternoon. When they came rushing in mud was tracked all over the tile and the carpet. Looking at these two faces I couldn't scream. Can't wait till we have wood flooring instead of carpet. 5 MORE MONTHS TILL OUR WEDDING DAY! -I had to get that in there :)

You know you're a teacher when...

You take up almost a whole bedroom with teaching stuff. I had to laugh when I brought down more books and teaching material into the room to see all of D's hunting stuff laid out neatly on the floor on the other side of the room. I am very lucky to have a man that doesn't mind me putting my teaching things in his room and taking up room in his house. In two weeks it will officially be time for student teaching. I get my teaching placement in one week and I am very excited. YAY!! I love teaching!

Praying I get a job in the upcoming year or else all of this stuff
and more will be still sitting here. :)

Here are some random pictures:

This little girl is such a sweetie. 

CHEESE!

My brother is an adult!

Love our new Christmas tree upstairs.

Dad's 50th Birthday

My dad is the best dad in the world. He has always been there for me whenever I need to talk, cry, or have a good laugh. He is awesome and I have so many great memories of now and when I was growing up. My dad turned 50 on Friday. He doesn't look 50 at all and he surely doesn't act 50. :) We through a big party for him on Saturday night. It was so much fun to spend time with family and friends celebrating a great man's birthday. Here are some pictures from the party.

My pinterest inspiration. Took pictures of my dad when he was growing up
and made this 50. 

Love this cake. Bright and colorful.

My wonderful dad and I.

My grandparents. (My grandpa has a mullet hat on, he thinks
he is funny.)

Weekend Pictures

This past weekend was wonderful. I was on fall break so I had a 5 day weekend since most weeks I don't have class on Fridays. It is great! On Friday my family and I went to the Sabetha High football game against NV. Even though I been out of high school for almost 5 years I still have the rivalry against the school that is 15 minutes west of Sabetha. :) Then Saturday was the big Kansas rivalry, KSU vs KU. Donna, Sam and I left at 6:30 am to get to Manhattan at a good time to tailgate and to freeze our behinds off. It was super cold but we enjoyed every minute of it. I even got to see some of my high school classmates and hang out with them during the 2nd half of the game. GO CATS! Saturday was also Hunter's 1st birthday. I'm so happy I got to see him on his birthday.

My parents, love them so much.

Me: "Kiera let me take a picture of you."
Kiera:"Just wait." (Striking a pose) "Ok I'm ready." :)

This isn't some random picture. I had to take a picture of
Michael Bishop (one in the grey stocking cap and purple coat) for Daniel
to prove I know what I am talking about. Could never get a picture of his face though

Birthday Boy!

I thiknk TD and Rae were more thrilled for the birthday celebrations.

It seems like I take all these pictures of Dora but I never seem to post them. Amy took this last picture when we were taking our save-the-date pictures. She is my baby and I think she is the cutest, sweetest dog. Thank you Amy for the picture!

It has been awhile...

I haven't posted in a long time. There is really no excuse I just haven't thought about my blog. The last couple of weeks though I have been meaning to add a new post but school has been super busy. So I will update on the two things that really are consuming my life right now. This might be a long post so sorry if you are reading this.
Wedding update:

1. I have my wedding dress ordered!!! It should be at the shop in November. :)
2. Finally have my DJ booked.
3. All of my beautiful bridesmaids have found a dress that they liked, and we will order them in December.
4. We just took our Save-The-Date picture this weekend. I really want to post it but I want them to be a surprise to people when they come in the mail. :)

School update:

1. I turned in my student teaching application in and put my top three school placements in.
2. I am teaching my literacy practicum at Auburn Elementary, Kindergarten. I LOVE it.
3. Only two more months of being at Washburn everyday. :)

Here are some pictures that I have taken in the last month. All of them surround a football games because I stink at taking pictures of my life and the wonderful people in it.

KSU vs Miami...GO CATS!!

I love Friday night lights at SHS.

My birthday landed on a Saturday and home KSU game. I was so
happy even though it wasn't the best game, we still got a W.

My friend Brenna and I. Such a great friend.

Logan marching in homecoming parade.

Bud driving the Keim truck in the parade, with Rae in the passenger seat.
Love the look of  these trucks.

I don't know when it will sink in that Logan is a senior. What!?

This picture makes me laugh...they all looked bored.
