AW Thursday

Kpetty1010

OK I never start these but I'm really happy about some things so here it goes--
I got my Flowers all taken care of and paid for! I also found the cutest little clutch purse to carry with my reception dress it match the silverish/blackish broach on my dress!!! and I've also lost 13 pounds in about the last 5 weeks!

What is going on with you ladies??

Good job Kpetty on the weight loss!

My AW is that DH finally heard from the company in Austin yesterday, and he got the position!  Yay our move is on!

Congrats on the weight loss Kpetty. 

Donna - Yay for your husband! Good luck with the move.  Every move I've made, I tell myself I'm going to keep less "stuff' so I won't have to pack so much in the next move.  It doesn't seem to work

My AW is we did our engagement pics on Sunday and our photographer posted a sneak peek on the blog      http://nijistanley.com/blogger/

I don't really have an AW this morning.  We found out a couple days ago that we will be getting a raise at work, however I have yet to hear the number.  It still wont change the fact that I dread coming to work.  I just want something to do, some responsibility.  I don't want to be on TK while I'm working, but I don't have anything else to do. FI has decided to put in for DPS, which I really dont want him to cuz of the schedule, but I keep thinking how wonderful it would be get out of this place and move somewhere else.
Sorry...guess I should have started a B&M Thursday!!!

They look great! I always feel like the sneak peeks are such a tease lol

I'm moving closer to Houston today!! FI starts medical school in the fall so we're moving... 9 days before the wedding... I'm stressed beyond belief, but also excited because it's going to be our first home together!

Kpetty-Yay for your weight loss! I got my flowers taken care of this week too, so I know the feeling!

Donna-Congrats on the job & your move:)

My AW (besides my flowers-huge relief!) I got all the candy in & the popcorn ordered for our buffet. I finished up all my DIY stuff-just need to assemble the centerpieces. We got our transportation arranged for the ride to the hotel afterward, plus got my "honeymoon attire" & grooms gift done-all within 3 days and managed to work overtime this week...so exhausted! I just hope I'm not forgetting anything...although I'm sure I am.

Bootsie - cute pics!  I be the rest are just as great.  Where did you take them?

KPetty - go girl.  I gained about 6 over the last month and have lost about 4 of them.  Of course that doesn't count the 10 I want to lose before the wedding!

I don't really have any AWs.  We're starting to get RSVPs in so that's pretty cool. 

mandaroo7

YAY I've never started an AW either, but I've been wanting too!!
My 2 big ones are we booked our venue and photographer last week. 
2 small ones - my honeymoon bathing suits came in last night and they are so cute!

YAY to everyone else on their AWs, exciting stuff going on!!

Kpetty - Nice job on the weight loss! 

Donna - Yay for finally knowing!  It drives me crazy to wait on other people before I can figure out my plan.

Bootsie - the pictures look great!

Nice job everyone on the AWs!

My AW is just that my FMIL is throwing an awesome engagement party for us... I'm so excited!

I finally got my driver license changed to my new last name. 
We put an offer on a house last night.
We had our credit scores checked Tuesday and we are both excellent.

bridgetlb

i'm so proud of my self! i finally did something about the girl with the perfume - yeah, me!

this will be the first weekend in a LONG time that i have nothing planned that i have to do. that means i will get caught up on wedding stuff.

Congrats to everyone for all of the new accomplishments.  And to everyone that is moving, that is awesome, congrats!! 

My only AW is that we are having our wedding couples shower on Saturday!  My MOH and her husband are throwing it and she is dialated to 2 centimeters so I hope we don't have to rush to the hospital on Saturday!  Other then that, we got my wedding band ordered which is awesome and we are meeting with our new potential DJ on Sunday.  Going down to Whitney (where the wedding is taking place) next weekend to meet with the cake lady, the reception dude and the pastor that is performing the ceremony.  We are also meeting my aunt in Waco next weekend to discuss menu since she is catering.  Finally getting a lot of things checked off my list!

Thanks everyone!  We're excited but now we gotta get our house ready to be on the market!
It looks like we have lots of knotties in the relocating process.

Bootsie, cute photos!

Congrats everyone else on their checks and AW's!

BanannaP

Congrats to everyone!

I have been so motivated on wedding stuff the last couple of weeks, I've been trying to take advantage of it! I got my shoes in on Tuesday and ordered some cute shoe clips from etsy. We bought the ties for FI, the groomsmen and the ringbearers. I designed thank you notes with one of our engagement pics and ordered those and all the parts for our invitations (cardstock and printed parts). Some will be in today and some on Monday. And this morning I picked out our table runners! 

Non-wedding related, today I'm going on the wine tasting in Grapevine I was talking about last week. I'm so excited!

My mom gave me a pinky swear yesterday and last night.  Tomorrow night, Bill and I are going to the "Grease" sing a long at North Park. 

angieandjames

Yay everybody, I love these posts - they cheer me up

My AW is that for the second time since I started this job in February, I met a weekly goal, AND my manager told me good job!  I CAN do this, I CAN!!! 

bburks79

Juliebug....I am so jealous!!  The singalong will be a blast!!! I totally heart musicals, it's kind of disgusting how much I love Grease though.

NMac2010

My awesome co-workers are throwing me a shower at the office tomorrow, and then FMIL is throwing me a shower on Saturday. I'm really excited to get to see my friends and family!

bridgetlb

I picked my dress up from alterations and it fits perfectly too!  I just can't gain any weight for the next 6 1/2 weeks!!!

Bootsie12

Thanks everyone   We took our pictures in Deep Ellum.

danac2010

I think we finally found our DJ.  FI wants to meet with them first but as long as we like them we are set!  Thanks to all of the great recs on here we are going with Melody and Memories and James will be our DJ.  I hope FI likes him because they are within our budget, have experience at our venue, and are the nicest people ever!!!

bobbileighb

Congrats to everyone on your awesome checks and achievements! 

I didnt think I had any for this week but I just finalized our schedule for the 26th and 27th.  We will be going on 3 cake tastings, meeting with our caterer to do a tasting, and meeting with what will hopefully be our florist.  This is the last of the big stuff I need to get done and hopefully we will sign contracts for cake and flowers and will be done with wedding stuff for the most part until Oct.  FI is excited about that haha.

Congrats to everyone on both the WR and NWR AW's! Lots of good news all around!

I have two:

WR #1 - My dress came in and fits, only a few little alterations and I am wedding ready!

NWR #2 - I have had walking pnuemonia all week and it is finally breaking up! I actually feel like a human again! A weird AW, but seriously I am so excited to feel better!
