Dear mhollister,

Holy moly you are so moving faster than me   We have one venue looked at (which was a lot better than we thought it was, so it's still in the running) and two more on Friday and 3 more we want to look at (just don't have appts yet) before we book.  But we're also not picky on the date, so that makes things easier apparently.  Good luck with your venue!!

-Blue


Dear rdr,

You're getting married on my birthday.  It's true that I indeed am getting older pretty soon.  I'm running a 5K (unless I chicken out) that day.  So I mean, it's going to be a grand day.  I also totally want to steal your save the date idea (that I don't think you even used) of football/baseball jerseys with our date on them.  We just need, ya know, a date.

-Blue


Dear little sis,

I hope you have an awesome doctor's appt today.  I know you're nervous, but just stick to the questions you want to have answered.  It's really important to know these things!

-Big sis


Dear FMIL,

You are crazy.  I love you, but calm down.  You don't have to worry about your dress if I'm not even close to looking for mine yet.  Well, I mean, you CAN, but that's really just causing you anxiety, because I'm laughing at you so not really any anxiety for me.

-FDIL


Dear venue #1 that I emailed,

Please email me back today.  You've already lost all sorts of points for taking forever to email me back, but I really like you.  So you might be able to make it up to me.  Maybe.  Your prices ARE kinda high.

-Bride

Um Peek, being stuck in an elevator is TERRIFYING.  Criminal Minds did not help when Reid and Morgan got stuck in an elevator.  No bueno.  I'm glad you survived, because I learned from Reid that there are  6 elevator deaths per year or something.  That is far too many.

Oh man, I missed the rec!  I ended up going with the Brother CS6000i.  It's supposed to be here Mar 4-7 and I really really really hope I love it.  I'm having a little bit of anxiety about it, but it comes with all the feet I wanted and has a larger working surface area with an extra attachment (that comes with it).  There are some complaints about the bobbin but it honestly sounds like people that don't know how to tension their machines properly.  SO here goes nothing.... :)

It should be noted I check my email every five seconds to see if Amazon has shipped it yet.  I'm obsessed.

Ah yes, we're looking at Mar/April 2014.  Although I think FI would actually prefer May or July so we can go honeymooning ASAP after the wedding (he's not sold on the spring break or break between spring/summer semesters honeymoon...hmm)  As I said, our date is extremely flexible.  But it's hot as heck here in July, so that's a no :)

I just took a machine quilting class at the quilting festival that showed me how to use the walking and FMQ foot and I'm like "I JUST WANNA PLAYY!!"  I'm not amazing at free motion yet because my threads kept breaking when my old bobbin was getting stuck (there was a huge gash in the race hook or something) but it's a lot of fun.  It's kinda like doodling.  The teacher I took the class from has online classes too if you're interested on Craftsy (<a href="http://www.wendybutlerberns.com/links.html" title="http://www.wendybutlerberns.com/links.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.wendybutlerberns.com/links.html</a>)

Dear BF,

I totally beat you in Jeopardy last night!!!! And, I know that I rocked your world a few hours later. Don't forget that when I ask you to clean the bathroom at some point, k?

Also.....I wasn't quite sure what you were thinking about when you said you felt old and I was "so young", but I hope it was the fact that I have a great job and decent salary for my age. I am not "so young" in the sense that I don't want to get married and have babies anytime soon because... I do! I think sometimes you feel like you took me away from a life of partying in NYC as a single girl - but I was ready for that, and I wouldn't go back to that part of my life now for anything. I love love LOVE our life, our apartment, and ourdog sooo much and it's all because of you.

Love,

Your not THAT young GF

------------------------------------------------

Dear middle sister,

I miss you way more than I thought I would. Even though we never saw each other too much when you lived in BK, I liked knowing you were close by. Now, you're just too far away. I hope you're doing okay, and I really hope you know that you can vent to me when you're not. I know we've never been that close, but I'm your big sister, and I'm always here for you. You don't need to act like everything is perfect when it isn't.

Anyways, I can't wait to come visit in the Spring!

Love,

Your one and only big sister
