Skyjewell23

Move all my stuff from my college home (2 hours away) back here because.... I AM OFFICIALLY MOVED IN WITH FI!!!!!!!! I am so happy I could sing! But, in bigger news... We finally found a house! We move in May 31st, but possibly sooner if the current people living there move out quicker! I am so excited so that makes this weeks to-do list very busy.

-FI starts a new job tomorrow night! He is working nights now. boo. However that does leave more time for the knot

-I start my job on wednesday! I got a job at a daycare so I will work M-F 11-6 pretty happy about that except now FI works 4pm-2:30 am. I don't see a lot of sleep in my future since I will be waiting up for him.

-I need to find a make-up artist!!!!! Hopefully one will work out this week!

-Friday is the bridesmaids alternations appointment! Pretty psyched for that!

and I can't think of anything else, but this post is probably overwhelming to read already!

Happy Monday! This wedding is getting so close! This week we are finishing our invitations and sending them out this weekend. That makes it seem so final! This week my to do list is so long because last week I got hardly nothing done, I've had a debhilitating migrane for a week now and spent Thurs and Friday in the hospital Hopefuly this week is better!

Aww, I'm sad the weekend is already over. It actually turned out to be really nice here, so FI and I were outside a lot and we didn't really do any wedding planning, which was really nice!

This week's plans:

NWR: Nothing really out of the usual.
WR: Hopefully signing a contract with the videographer. Also, have to send out a lot of payments today b/c it's the two month mark and a lot is due!

Happy Monday! I cannot believe how close the wedding is getting! 

WR: My BMs' dresses are in, so I'm going with one of my BMs and my mom to see them and pick up two of the dresses for my girls. I'm so excited to see the dress in person  Also, I need to research marriage license info and contact the band about songs for our ceremony so we can finalize that.  We also REALLY need to decide on transportation (IDK why this is so difficult!)

NWR: I have my little brother's college graduation this weekend and my friend's bachelorette party!! Looking forward to both!!

Happy Monday! I am freaking out that I only have 2 months left!

We got a lot done this weekend, thankfully. I had my shower Saturday morning (see post below for all the details) and then we went out with friends Saturday night.  Sunday we got some house chores done, went to his grandma's for lunch, then went to Ikea to get some stuff for the house, and got all the invites assembled!

WR - We have to update our website, book excursions for the honeymoon, work on programs, order some small things on VP

NWR - painting the last two rooms, unpacking, and cleaning the old apartment.  And all the usual work, schoolwork, house work stuff.  Oh and we might open the pool next weekend!!

Happy Monday!

WR: I have to start thinking about programs this week and hopefully find something that I like. Friday is my bachelorette party so that should be fun! And Sunday is my bridal shower (:

NWR: Nothing special really. FI is away for business the next 3 days so I'll probably just relax and catch up on some reading.

Happy Monday!!

WR- I have my first dress fitting tomorrow night.  Then on sunday we have our food tasting at our venue I can't wait

NWR-working out to work off all of the drinks I had this past saturday night at my friends bach party.

This week is going to be so crazy busy, I am ready for the weekend already!

WR: meeting with the florist tomorrow, hair trial on Thursday, and another dress fitting on Saturday. Also dance lessons. I'm hoping to start working on the escort card template but I don't know if we'll squeeze it in this week or not.

NWR: nothing out of the oridinary other than FINALLY getting a smartphone with internet and all that jazz on Sunday. I am so excited!

Good Morning all!

I'm hoping to try two workout classed this afternoon at a new gym- I want to join it for a couple of months in the summer. It's a bit farther from my house, and don't think I want to make that drive during the school year. My actual gym is just a few minutes from my house. So, I'll have two gym memberships.

My mom and I put invites together yesterday. So, those will be going out within the next couple of days.

k8888

Monday already???  (I feel like I say this every week)

dawnleanna - I'm so sorry to hear about your awful migraines... hope you feel better this week!

The weather this weekend was SO NICE and today it's humid and cloudy and I would love nothing more than to crawl back into bed.  FI and I had such a nice date night Saturday night, too, I'm still smiling about it. 

WR: I really need to setup meetings with our priest and music coordinator to go over our ceremony details.  Once that's all finalized I can finally finish our programs.

NWR: Hitting the gym hardcore this week.

Good Morning! I mailed most of my invitations on Saturday but I'm still waiting on FI to get a handful of his friend's invitations sent. Hopefully we get everything done this week. I'm excited for everyone to see the invitations and maybe get some RSVP cards in the mail. Let the mail stalking begin!

I have to write a big check to the florist because she requires a 50% deposit by the end of the month. I also have to mail ribbon, color swatches and design ideas to the cake decorator so she can create a design for the cake.

Thankfully this is a pretty light week for me. I have a friend's bridal shower to attend on Saturday so I'm looking forward to being a guest now that my shower has passed.

I'm seriously considering sending out our invites sometime this week. I'm just so anxious and people have been asking about it. Why the heck not, right???

We finalized our cake & flower plans over the weekend as well the appetizers & meals for the reception. It feels so good!

We need to look into song list more and few other small details. My mom is coming here this weekend for the shower on Saturday and I'm excited!

Happy Monday everyone!!

My weekend was power packed. Hair and makeup trial on Saturday morning, then shower, then packing/unpacking/moving TWO! SUVs worth of presents around. Yesterday we did church and brunch with my parents and grandma and with fiance's parents - it was wonderful!

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HEAR BACK FROM THE SELLER ON OUR SECOND OFFER THAT WE PUT IN OUR DREAM HOUSE BY THE END OF THE DAY! wish us luck please..I am super nervous!

Fiance is going to Denver for some cancer conference of some sort this week, so I am hoping to be really productive on my own (or I might just be lazy!)

Saturday is my boudoir shoot....SO NERVOUS....then fiance gets back from Denver late Saturday night, and we are planning to do our invitation addressing on Sunday!

BmoreBride311

@Butterfly, did you get your invitiations from your etsy designer? Or get an updated ETA(sorry if you already updated this in another thread)?

bells24412

Ugh. Monday's suck!

NWR: Hitting the gym more than usual and work off my mother's day desserts I had.

WR: Absolutley nothing other than probably meeting with the music director for the church that pretty much sums it up. I need a break from wedding stuff even if it is only for a weekend.

butterflyjumper1

bmore - she sent me a tracking number for our envelopes, and those are supposed to arrive today. Nothing else on the actual invites, though....she said 'Maybe Thursday' but if I don't have them by Saturday I WILL SCREAM! I guess as long as we have the envelopes we will be able to do our addressing this weekend.

I should consider myself lucky - these invites are the ONLY thing wedding-related that hasn't been perfect so far......

BmoreBride311

@butterfly - good! Glad you can at least get started on the addressing. That's the time consuming part anyway. And now you have your awesome pen to help get it done haha!

Happy Monday!

The weekend was fun. Didn't do much for the wedding but it was nice to have a break.

Plans for the week:

WR: Addressing the invites tomorrow and then probably mailing them out wednesday or Thursday. And Saturday my OOT BM is coming to visit! Then my shower is Sunday! I'm excited but also nervous since it will be mostly my moms friends and FI's family since my friends live far away and couldn't make the trip. Also, need to get on writing the ceremony and ceremony music. That must be figured out so we can do the programs. Oh and shoe shopping with my sister

NWR: Work. Tomorrow my mom and I are working the pole for the school budget vote. Its a really long, boring day, which is why we're adressing invites then! And at some point we have to see FMIL for mothers day. We were supossed to take her out for brunch but she couldn't make it so now we have to see her sometime this week.

Happy Monday! I can't beleive the weekend is already over. 

I have a super busy week ahead of me. 

NWR: Packing my classroom, working on report cards and finishing up end of the year stuff. I'm also going to see a friends band play Tuesday night and will be hitting the gym HARD this week. 

WR: Finishing card box and escort card display, going shopping with FMIL to get materials she will need to make garter, trim FG basket, liner for program basket, and RB pillows.  We also need to make some music decisions for the ceremony I can work on the programs.  I need to schedule a time to meet with the DJ and I need to finalize my flowers. 

I hope everyone has a great week.  

Glad to hear your envelopes have shipped butterfly.  I would be going out of my mind if I was you.

Hi everyone! I had such a fantastic weekend with my family at Duke. My brother's graduation was fantastic and I am so proud and in awe of him - these Neuroscience kids are so super smart, it's unbelieveable.

WR: Ceremony music and then confirmining that with the music coordinator so that I can start on the programs. I have my second fitting this Saturday and I have my mockup floral appointment on Sunday. I can't wait to see what the centerpieces will look like!

NWR: So excited to meet my cousin's second baby on Saturday! I'm going to dinner with FMIL on Wednesday. Also, Fiance's bachelor party is in Vegas this weekend, so he leaves Thurs afternoon. I'll be in Philly for WR stuff, so hopefully I won't be staring at my blackberry, but my friends are coming over to console me on Thursday night anyway. There will be much wine and cheese, so I need to hit the gym hard this week to compensate.

I had such a nice weekend! Had my first dress fitting. Love my dress still! Then FI and I took my mom and dad out for lunch and went shopping for MOB dresses for my mom. Saturday night we had a staycation at a villa in Newport Beach and had Sunday Funday yesterday. So perfect! 
This coming weekend is my future step daughter's 3rd Bday on Saturday and then my first shower on Sunday! I also picked up my invitations from my mom this past weekend, so my goal is to have all of them out by Wednesday. Like many of you I am kicking it into high gear at the gym this week! I'm joinig FI in a private circuit training class with a personal trainer. I hope to be able to walk tomorrow!

butterflyjumper1

lvissers - good luck!! I thought it would be a good idea to bop into a circuit training class at my gym last week. O M G It was SO HARD hahaha!

dawnleanna1

k888- thank you! I am praying all of this goes away soon. I am on a bunch of meds but I hate taking them!

mekiakoo- I was just thinking the same thing! FI helped me assemble them because I am not feeling well and now they are all done! How am I supposed to wait another week ?? I am so excited!

littlemoments324

WR:  Send out wedding invites!!! EEEEK!!!  Work on timelines & contact photographer...Get ceremony music info out to my grandma so she cans end out the final check for that...

NWR: Not much really besides work...Friday is my birthday...and I'm a little bummed because I won't really get to do much celebrating!  But that's alright! It's only a quarter of my life that is gone lol...

toomanychoices17

It was a crazy busy weekend and I can't believe it's Monday already!

Wednesday we're meeting with the priest for the first time- eek! Not sure what that will be like, but I'm excited to get answers to some of the questions I have.

And we're going to work on addressing the invitations. Didn't get the chance to work on it this weekend, but realized we're 11 weeks out from the wedding, not 10 like I thought, so I think it'll be fine if we send them out next Saturday.

Like others, I'm planning on gymming hard this week, as long as my cold doesn't get worse. Ate a ridiculous amount of food yesterday at mother's day lunch with FILs.
