    NWR: FI and I moved into our new rental house in Rochester yesterday and I am SO excited to be out of my old apartment in Ann Arbor.  Also, very excited to be starting my new job...we'll see how long until that excitement wears off. 

    WR: My mom FINALLY reviewed the 4 websites of photographers I like and she gave me her opinions, so we actually get to set up appointments with photographers soon.

    ^Congrats on the move!!!

    WR: We made mock centerpieces and played around with what we liked and didn't like.  I also designed some wrappers for our wedding bubbles and ordered them from VP.  There's a picture in my bio, and there will be one with the labels on the bubbles after they come in.  Also, I've been contacting photographers/videographers like crazy. 

    NWR: Hubby has been without a cigarette for 11 days!!!  I'm so proud.

    Thank you! My FI went without a cigarette for 2 or 3 days while prepping for the move and it was awful, I finally told him to go buy a pack.  Hopefully when the stress calms down he can try quitting again.

    I have nothing to AW so I'll be living vicariously through everyone else. Can't wait to see the dress pics :)

    WR: FI and I have a big weekend of WR things!  Tonight we are taste-testing at our venue, and hopefully FI will pick out tuxes today (although I'm not holding my breath).  His parents are coming to town this weekend to pick out a rehearsal dinner venue, and we are ordering invitations.

    NWR: We just got back from Aruba last night!  Aruba was great, and I really recommend it (although it's pricey).

    Here's FI and I at an oceanfront dinner.


    And here's the view from our hotel room.

    FI's work has offered to pay for the rehearsal dinner!  Big relief for FI since I told him he needed to budget to pay for this. 

    It is now less than 30 days away so we can get our marriage license at any time now!

    <div>His first two days without a cigarette were the worst.  I was ready to smoke for him, sleep in another room, and just about anything to get away from Mr. Grumpy Pants!!!  </div>

    Got our shower invites down all 150 of them! Yikes I know but we have big families!

    We are having a Mexican themed shower and made cute passport invites. 

    Below is the link to where we stole the idea from.  Of course we modified it!

    Thanks! I keep having little panic attack moments when I think about it.  I can't believe it is so soon!

    Have fun stalking the mailbox!

    WR: Met with another photographer last night and we chose her!  I'm so excited to have that checked off our list.  Nothing else major that needs to be done for now so I'll be relaxing and just working on DIY projects here and there this year.

    WR: The shower invites arrived from VP and I love them.
    I ordered photoshare cards, maps, and return address labels from VP last night. Can't wait to get those all and see how my designs look.

    I don't post here to much anymore but I finally got my photo's back.  I have been dying to see them.  I only had a few that my parents took to look at.  When I get a chance I'll post some.

    I cant wait for tonight I am starving right now!

    FI finally registered for the tuxes and we are set for that $106 including taxes and cleaning at miracle weddings and our son and my ring bearer only have to play $46 which is a life saver.

    I am finally going to Michael's for my first official wedding related shopping adventure this weekend I really need to focus on some DIY stuff so I need to map out my game plan!
