How was your weekend??

It's rainy and gross here... days like that make it so hard for me to motivate myself.

My weekend was pretty active - I am finally working out again, did a 16mi bike ride and lake swim on saturday, and walked a charity 10K with friends on Sunday.  Tonight is a friend's moving-away dinner, so hopefuly I'll get everything I need to done quickly!

It's a short week for me - I leave Thursday morning for DC to give a research talk, see FI, and pick bridesmaid dresses.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Good morning ladies!  We had a fabulous weekend. DF and I took off on Friday.  We went to Esppa Kozmetica and had pedicures first…with mimosas, cheese & crackers and strawberries too!  It was his first pedicure and he loved it!  We are going to go again the Thursday before the wedding.  Then we both went to get our hair cut.  His family came in later on Friday for our couples shower on Saturday.  The shower was awesome!!!  It was everything I wanted.  A laid back party without any silly games…just our closest friends and family, amazing food & drink and then a s’mores around the fire pit to end it all. Yesterday we were both bums…we got up early to make breakfast and see his family off, and then we went back to bed.  It was awesome!!!

This week I need to get back on the exercise wagon.  Last week got so hectic, it just got away from me.  Our DIY goal is to get the invites in the mail by Friday.  We should be able to do it…wish us luck!

MD- Sounds like you had a great weekend.  It was gray and icky here today too.  It was sooooo hard to get out of bed. I hope your week goes fast!

Hi Girls!

Our weekend was pretty good - we went to Church Brew Works with my family Friday night, had FI's family over Saturday night for his niece's 8th birthday, and then I got called in to work yesterday. My sister and I went out to try on bridesmaid's dresses on Saturday - I was a little frustrated because I didn't really like anything we tried. Grrrr...
I might make an appt. at Bridal Beginning for Saturday with a few other bridesmaid's because I think they might have more options there.

Janice - Love your haircut and your shower pics on FB - Looked like a lot of fun!

MD - That's awesome you were so active! Hope you have better luck with BM dresses than me so far!

Morning!

This weekend the FI and I went to Bethany Beach, DE for some rest and relaxation with my aunt and uncle. We have been so busy with work and moving that it was nice to get away for a while. Back to reality today though.

Today I need to get new tires on the FI's car. We started our journey to the beach with his car on Thursday, and halfway to Maryland (where we met my aunt and uncle) the very very worn tire started to literally fall apart. If I had noticed how bad the tires were before we left we would have taken my car. FI kept saying he needed news ones but he thought they would be ok. They weren't. There was no tread left at all on any of them. We ended up having to drive all the way back to Pittsburgh Thursday night (driving 45 miles an hour on a barely together tire) and left with my car on Friday. Since I work by a Sears, I  can take his car in a lunch today to get new tires on it. I am amazed we made it back to Pitt on that tire. When he took it off and put the donut on you could see how stripped the tire was. Chunks of rubber were missing from the sidewall and you could see the little metal pieces between the pieces of rubber.... Yeay he is never letting his tires get that bad again. 

Besides our big tire adventure the weekend turned out well and I loved seeing my aunt and uncle. Now that I'm a bit rested I need to get back on track with work and wedding stuff.... I am definitely getting behind on the wedding.

MD- I love short weeks! Sounds like you had a busy but fun weekend.

Janice- I saw your shower pics on facebook :-) Glad you had a good time. And you will get the invites done. I have faith in you!

Lindsay- I love church brew works! If they had a private room I would have my rehearsal dinner there lol. And I got my bridesmaids dresses from the Bridal Beginnings. The ladies at the store are a little pushy, but my MOH just pushed back and basically made sure I got what I want. They do have a good selection so it's definitley worth taking a look.

janice - glad your shower went well!  Hope those invites get out on time

lindsay - I am SO not looking forward to the BM dress thing.  But this weekend is the only time I'll get all 4 in the same place so I'm determined to make it happen.  Good luck to you too!  And I love church brew works as well...ditto sari on the private room thing.

sari - holy crap, glad you guys made it back ok with those tires.

Good morning!  My weekend was ok.  I did a lot of little stuff for the wedding, like we got a card box, thank you cards, reviewed the to do list, etc.  Friday night FI and I went to Shiloh Grill in Mt. Washington.  I had heard some not so great stuff about it, but I really wanted a frozen cosmos, and I was happy with the food.

Sari - my friend's bil had their rehearsal dinner at Church Brew Works.  I"m not sure where or how but she really liked it, so it is possible.  Also, thank goodness you made it back to Pittsburgh!

J - Your Friday sounds fantastic!  Glad your shower went well.

Md and L - I was worried about BM dress shopping, but it wasn't bad for me.  I could never have them all in the same place, so I just picked out seven complimentary dresses and let them choose from there.  Good luck!

Hi girls!  I had yet another trip back to Pittsburgh.  This time, FI and I were meeting with the pastor and priest (yes, we're having both:P) to hash out ceremony details.  Both are very laid back type of people, so it was super easy to figure everything out, and the best part was we all met at Quaker Steak & Lube:)  When we got home yesterday, my shower dress was finally here and I started working on the DIY programs, which are very cute accordian style but sure are going to take time to assemble!  All in all, we had a good, productive weekend!

MD - Impressive! I need to start working out - time is ticking! Ahhhh!

Janice - your Sat morning sounds fantastic, and the day too! 

Lindsay - where did you look for BM dresses? I spent so much time hunting online for the perfect dresses bc I wanted it to be a little easier in the stores.

Sari - Ditto MD! Thank goodness you guys made it back safely! That's scary!

MRads - I'm pretty sure we're both on the same crazy schedule right now. It will be here before we know it!
