    Have fun at your shower, LM! And Ally, have fun, too! I know yours is tonight :)

    This weekend, we have birthday drinks with FI's cousin and his friends. Tomorrow, I fully intend to sleep in. We'll probably have a pretty low key weekend. We need to catch up on chores after being away for a few weeks. And WR, I am working on printing all of our menus and trying to keep up with the never ending list of thank you cards to write.

    Yay Littlemoments!  Looking forward to seeing pictures!

    This weekend, my Mom and I are going to a wedding expo.  I just want to see if there are any little details that I have forgotten about.

    FI is going to visit his parents for the weekend and picking up his wedding ring because they had it sized for him.

    Have fun at your shower!

    This weekend FI and I are meeting with our wedding coordinator at our venue to get the menue and all the extras picked out. We've also decided to get a videographer so we have a couple meetings this weekend to book one.

    NWR: We put in an offer last night on the house and they came back so it looks like we are probably getting it (:

    LM, Ally, and Beachlover, have SO much fun at your showers!!

    FI and I are meeting with the restaurant for our RD tomorrow to go over the menu. We're also shopping for picture frames for the table numbers, thank you cards for my shower, invites for the RD, and I want to get a cute clutch for my shower! Oh and I also need new nailpolish for my toes since my shoes are peeptoe. I know, the little details are so important haha.

    We're also having dinner with my mom tonight, and with my dad tomorrow. It's going to be a busy weekend!

    Have fun at all your showers ladies!

    I have my first shower on Sunday. FI's sisters are throwing it for his side of the family. I'm excited, but a bit nervous because there will be some extended family of his there that I've never met before. So, I feel like it's kinda weird being like, 'Oh hey! Don't know you, but thanks for the gift. See ya at the wedding!'

    Tomorrow FI and I are just working on the house a bit. I'll also need to get some cute thank you cards. I've been meaning to do that for a few weeks, but now I've got to because I want to get all thank yous done this coming week.

    ladies have SO MUCH FUN at your showers!!! I can't wait to see pics and hear about all the awesome gifts you guys get!!

    Amanda CONGRATS ON THE HOUSE!! I know it isn't official yet but that is so exciting!

    We are going to see the other house with the bigger yard to see if we like it better than our current favorite. We are going to show them to our parents and hopefully make a decision within the next week or so!

    NWR: I was a competitive jump roper for most of my childhood/teenage life. my old team is having its 25 year anniversary show and reunion for all alumni tonight. I am nervous and excited - I am going to see so many old teammates I haven't seen for years and years! Then fiance and I are going to a party for one of our friends who recently moved to California and is back in town for the weekend. 

    WR: Tomorrow we have a long appointment scheduled with our jeweler, I am so excited!! My wedding band finally came in, so I get to try that on. Mine is too thin to get engraved, but we will be getting my fiance's band engraved. I am taking in all my diamonds and meeting with their master jewelers to design my wedding day diamond earrings, I can't wait! Then I get to pick any bracelet in the store to use as my "something borrowed" to wear for the wedding.

    YAYA FOR SHOWERS!!  I can not to see everyone's photos and hear about the fantastic gifts!!

    WR:- I think we have settled on how we are going to set up our centerpieces I will try to post a picture of the finial project (unless that ends up being our May siggy)  But I am going to help my mom finish those.  I am also hopefully going to finish assembling all of my invites and buying postage so I can get these babies ready for sending!

    NWR- Saturday night is one of my good friends Bachelorette parties!  I am so excited we are going to Wildwood (down the shore in New Jersey) having dinner and then going out to some bars!

    I've been sick for the past few days so I'm hoping I'll finally get better this weekend.

    Tomorrow FI, FMIL and I have an appointment with our florist/event planner to pick out table linens for the reception and decide on our centerpieces. Our first option for centerpieces didn't work out so I'm hoping we can finally make a decision and be done with it.

    Sunday FI and I are going to his cousin's son's baptism and hanging out with his family afterward. I've never been to a baptism before so it should be interesting.

    Ladies, have so much fun at your showers!

    Penny, please report back on the Wedding Expo! I haven't been to one ever and I feel like it would have been fun to attend one.

    Amanda, that is so exciting! So many houses being purchased recently :)

    Arunkumar, feel better!

    Butterfly, PIP when you get pics of your jewelry!

    Colleen, PIP when you can, too!

    WR: I'll think about it and get back to you. I feel like there are things I need to be working on, but I don't really have anything that I can start. Most things require a headcount and guest list! Oh but I do have a phone call with the wedding planner on Sunday and I think she's going to give me homework to do. I'll PIP in another thread from my hair trial yesterday.

    NWR: Having brunch with a bunch of my law school ladies who are in town. One moved to San Diego, one moved to DC, one moved to Seattle, so it'll be really fun to catch up with them! Other than that, going to the gym and seeing my fiance, hopefully. :)

    Have fun weekends, ladies!

    Butterfly--that's awesome that your jeweler is letting you borrow a bracelet for the wedding!  And I agree with bridetobe...we need pictures of everything!

    WR:  My shower is TONIGHT!  Pretty sure my mom wasn't thinking "work" when she scheduled it at 5:30...luckily I can get off whenever, depending on when I decide to roll into work in the mornings, but still. :)  I can't wait, she and my sister have been working on stuff all week and won't give away any details. 

    NWR: Laying by the pool.  My sister and her bf are in town for another couple days, and my grandma came in last night, so probably just family time.  Also...because I'm a terrible secret keeper and I know you guys won't tell anyone, my sister's bf had "the talk" with my dad a few days ago!  I'm so excited!!! I guess since the younger siblings in the fams are getting married (his younger brother got engaged last weekend, and obviously, FI and I), he decided it might be time for them, too.  Yay for upcoming MOH duties, hopefully in the next year or 2, depending on when he pops the question!

    Enjoy your showers!!!!  So excited to see how they go for all of you.

    Coll - Have fun in WILDWOOD!!!  I haven't been there in years but it's one of my favorite spots in NJ.


    NWR: We're going area rug shopping tonight because one of the Macy's warehouses is having an insane sale tonight and tomorrow... our house is all hardwood floors so we need some rugs!  CRAZY FRIDAY NIGHT!  Other than that, we'll be watching the NJ DEVILS play in the next playoff round and I'll be squeezing in some walking/jogging at the park. 

    WR: I'm hoping to pick up FI's wedding band and have my E ring resized at some point this weekend.  We need to get my ring re-appraised for our house insurance. 

    Also, hacking out some bachelorette party plans with one of my BMs this weekend.  She's getting a shore house and I'm getting the strippers so things are shaping up really well (my personal trainer moonlights as an exotic dancer so I'm getting a sweet discount).

    this whole paragraph made me LOL. I just imagined this being said in a really proper voice - "I'm getting the strippers, so things are shaping up really well!" hahahaha. Your personal trainer sounds incredible, though! Does he have pics/a website? Maybe he could come to Indiana for mine!

    Wow, lots of showers, have fun ladies. 

    My daughter is coming home from college for the weekend so we are hanging and working on WR and NWR stuff.

    WR:  Working on putting the wedding invites together.  My sister DYI them and they are so awesome.  So perfect for us.  We are also putting the labels on the water bottles for the OOT bags and the water bottles for the reception.  We came up with four fun designs from a template I found on a wedding site.

    Have fun everyone at your showers!!

    WR - Probably nothing, maybe working on the table numbers or hangers for the girls.

    NWR - moving a lot of stuff out of a storage unit tomorrow into the house! Then I have a ton of schoolwork and need to finish my continuing education so I can get my real estate license renewed! I have a feeling Sunday will be stuck in front of my computer accomplishing all of this :(.

    Hahaha that's exactly how our conversation last night went... like it's totally normal to book strippers for a party... no big deal.

    Here's his <a href="https://www.facebook.com/newjerseysunfire" rel="nofollow">facebook </a>page, not sure if it's private or not... it's not necessarily safe for work, so open at your discretion ahahaha

    Enjoy your showers ladies.  Make sure to PIP pictures!  


    WR:  I am hoping to get all the invitations put together so OOT invites can go out this week and the rest next week.  We are meeting with our day of coordinator on Sunday to hash out some details and I need to buy a few things I need to work on the card box and escort card display.  I also want to work on the pictures and frames of our parents and grandparents weddings. 

    NWR: I really need to grade papers and get grades ready so I can start working on report cards, I also need to start packing up my room since I'm moving to a new school next year.  Tonight FI and will have dinner with his parents other than that maybe relax (I hope).

    Tonight I have the science club that I run for my school, so by the time I get home it'll be 9. Will probably just hang out with FI for a little and go to bed early, because tomorrow is my shower!

    It's a small shower for my Mom's side of the family in NY (I live in CT) so that they don't all have to drive here. I know everyone who is coming, but some of them I haven't seen for like 10 years, so I"m a bit stressed about that. I'm worried I'll do something stupid like mix up my Mom's cousin's names! And I just don't like being the center of attention, so that makes me a bit anxious. Excited to see who bought what off my registry though.  And I'm sure once we start eating and mingling it'll be good.
     
    WR:Aside from the shower I'm working to decide the location of the RD. FIL's are paying but want me to pick. Maybe looking for more inspiration photos for hair/make-up

    NWR: Holy communion for FI's cousin Sunday, writing a final paper for a grad class I'm taking. It's going to be a busy weekend for me since I'm working so late tonight, getting up early to run and get my nails done before the shower tomorrow, and then the holy communion will take a while on Sunday.
