April 2013 Weddings

Friday! Finally!

WR: Well, I ordered my veil yesterday.  I went into this thinking I wouldn't get one and then figured, "what the hey, why not?"  I think I'm going to swing by Micheal's and pick up some stuff to make a sign or two for the ceremony/reception.  I will probably also try to get FI to sit down and look over the possible rental houses for the bridal party with me so we can go ahead and reserve a couple of them.

NWR: Jewelry party tonight with my girls' meetup group, pumpkin carving party with the same group tomorrow night and some general errand running all weekend :-)

Work has been super slow this week because our internet and network server crashed.  Basically, no one can get to their data and then most of us can't even distract ourselves on line waiting for the data access to be restored.  It's paved the way for unnecessary drama and extremely long lunch breaks all week.  Booorrreddd!

Your turn!!!

Re: Friday! Finally!

  • TGIF!!

    I was gone in Las Vegas for work until yesterday.  FI comes home from Minnesota tonight and I am so excited!  Tomorrow both of our families are going out to dinner just to hang out.  I love that they all get together so well!  

    Not much WR lately.  I am waiting on the last of the girls measurements so I can order the BM dresses before November.

  • I am so looking forward to the weekend!

    Tonight I am hoping to do dinner and a movie with FI and another couple.

    Tomorrow I am going to decide on the BM dress and color. Watch the Spartans beat the Wolverines and then go to a Halloween party :)

    It's supposed to be nice on Sunday so I'd like to go to an apple orchard or something of that nature.

    Random question for those that bought a house. We just had the inspection done last night, it went well. Now we have to do the appraisal. My mortgage guy is setting that up, but do we need to be there? How does that work? I am home buying illiterate so I appreciate your help!

  • Happy Birthday Red!

    I am still recovering from last weekend when I went to Halifax for a baby shower for my sister.  This weekend will be a bit low key.  Tonight going to a friends house for a girls dinner.  

    WR I might try to dye my crinoline this weekend and work on some jewelery for my BM's.  I am also finishing up my table numbers.  We also want to decide on our wedding invitation wording.
  • Tonight we are doing some shopping for our bathroom remodel.  We ran into a little snag last night.  I went and bought the cabinet that we finally decided on and we found that the plumbing wouldn't work with it since it had drawers on the right.  Well, the one we want can't even be special ordered with left drawers so now we have to go back out and find one.  Most likely will be special order which they say takes 2-3 weeks and now the bathroom has no toilet or sink.  Luckily we have another bathroom but still it's just a pain.  

    Saturday is 6 months to our wedding so we are going to our venue which has a fun speak easy bar so we're gonna celebrate!  We did that on our 1 year Pre-anniversary too.  

    Sunday will be painting the bathroom.  Gonna need a day off of work to recoup from a busy weekend!

    I love reading this thread every week!  It reminds me of what it was like to have a life before I became a mom.  lol

    Tonight, I am finishing up the ring bearer pillow and probably printing the stickers to put on the outsides of the Out of Town gable boxes.  And, of course, my Ghost Hunters marathon. 

    Tomorrow we're going Halloween costume shopping for the lil one and Sunday is our annual family trip to the pumpkin patch.  We've been going to the same one every year since I was about 4 or 5, and now my sisters and I meet up and take OUR children.  It's a long drive and it's usually cold and rainy but hey - that's tradition, right?

    Oh, and don't kill me, but I bought the $200 shoes.  I know I swore I wouldn't, but I have tried on about 30 pair and none of them fit right.  Good thing we're under budget on pretty much everything and now have a little wiggle room for "extras."  Shhh..... don't tell FI.  He'll kill me.

  • Tonight we are just chilling in our apartment. It has been a while since we've had a little time together, ALONE, so we're just going to enjoy watching silly tv shows and drinking some wine and chatting.

    Tomorrow, we're heading over in the afternoon to see the dress my mom thinks she's going to buy, then doing dinner and staying over at the parents house. Then, Sunday is our menu picking day! I'm pretty excited for it. Then heading back home for, hopefully, more relaxing, just us time :)
  • I am babysitting til midnight and these boys were running me ragged. The 2 year old was screaming for two hours cause he didn't nap today and has separation anxiety. The 3 month old was very grabby and kicky, moreso than usual lol. But now I'm relaxing and they're both in bed. Tomorrow night were going out to dinner to celebrate mine and future SIL birthdays. Yay for October birthdays! For her present I'm gonna make a cupcake themed gift basket, with an apron, cute cupcake wrappers, cupcake pan, sprinkles, maybe a mason jar with premixed cupcake mix in it, wrapped in cellophane and tied with a big bow. I've never made a gift basket before so hopefully it turns out ok! I'm gonna try to convince FI to go pumpkin picking Sunday and carve pumpkins, as is our tradition. But peeling him away from the TV on football Sunday is unlikely lol. Enjoy the weekend ladies!

  • I am sitting in front of the woodstove working. Repeat of last weekend. We need the money. I have a migraine still from my flu shot, it's been 3 weeks. :(

    Later we're going to MILs and will go out to dinner. She has a first date with a new boyfriend and is borrowing some clothes, jewelry, and makeup from me and I'm approving her outfit she's planning to wear to the date on Tuesday. I'm really excited for her, she was widowed two years ago and is lonely.

    Tomorrow we'll go to church then I'll be sitting here working. I have to be at work around 6:00 Monday, so I need to leave home at 4:30. One of my coworkers is traveling to another location this week and training, and it's month end so I'll be slammed.

  • Happy birthday, Red and Ally!

    Steffi, what kind of work do you do in front of a woodstove?  (Pardon my 100% big city genes here.  lol)

  • I'm a billing analyst. I have an office in a downtown high rise, and I have a laptop to work from home for overtime.

    Technically I'm supposed to just do billing, but I wear lots of hats at work and I work too many hours lately. Now I'm watching My Fair Wedding at my MILs and working. I love my job and I appreciate the money right now. At month end I either want to run out in front of a truck, jump off a building, or sleep for weeks. LOL

  • Happy Birthday to you, Ally!!
