Happy Friday!

Good morning =]  TGIF! This week has dragged on it feels like  

What's everyone's weekend look like? FI & I are researching DJs tonight (thought we had this covered, but oh well) and just vegging out. Tomorrow is the gym & ladie's night at a friend's house =]

Re: Happy Friday!

  • TGIF x a million :)

    What's your DJ situation?  Did you have one and now you don't?

    This weekend we are getting a list together and checking out places we want to register at.  If we feel up to it we might actually start a registry somewhere.

    This felt like the longest week ever. I cannot wait for this day to be done and for my weekend to start. If I didn't have a study patient coming this afternoon I would be cuttting out early. 

    I am pretty sure we're driving out to FH's family place in WV tonight. I'm really looking forward to a weekend away from it all. Unfortunately one of their neighbor's put a cell tower on their property so it isn't as much of an escape as it used to be. 

    Tomorrow we're probably going hiking. It's a 1.5 mile trek with 1,000 feet of elevation so I'll definitely get my exercise in. 

    If we don't go out of town then my goal is to get my hair cut and to get us sized for rings.

  • So happy that the weekend is here!  FI are going to spend Saturday together since with our work schedules we don't see too much of each other during the week

    Ibarr, we were going to have a family friend DJ for us as their gift to us. But because it's an on the side hobby for him, he doesn't have the insurance our venue requires. FI & I are hoping because we're having a Friday night wedding that there will be a few options available, and hoping we can find a reasonable price. But we'll see what happens! 

    Celtic, I love hiking. Is the WV place along the AT or a different mountain range?

  • i'm really glad for the weekend. tonight Dan has to work late so we are taking a day off from the gym and going out to dinner at the place where our rehearsal dinner will be, just to get a better feel for it.

    tomorrow, we might do some shopping and then i have a bridal shower to go to for my mom's cousin. i still haven't received a wedding invite from them, and her wedding is april 21st, so it's a little weird. i'm hoping to get the invite sometime this week...

    and then on sunday dan has to go in to work but in the afternoon he'll be home and we're going to look at bands for him! and then we're having dinner at his parents' house so i can look through and take more of their pictures.
    Happily married since 9/1/2012!

    Not only is it friday but my boss is in a GREAT mood! That makes all our lives so much easier lol.

    I am hoping to get a jump start on weekend wedding activities by going to our ceremony site and measuring stuff and taking pics today. I gotta call the farmer (yes, we are getting married in a barn), and see if he will be around or if we can just swing by. My florist wanted pics so he could get an idea of the size/color of the place. Sunday morning we are going to a pancake breakfast at a local fire department. Its simply awesome food, and FI gets in for free since he is a member of a neighboring FD, so its a pretty cheap meal. Plus we get to visit with lots of people from town and with FI's family (even though they ditched us last year and decided to go to breakfast at 7:30am).

    Have a great day girls!

  • Cowgirl, a former CW of mine got married in a barn.. it was awesome!  They got married in front of the barn doors that opened into beautiful scenerey of wooded hills.  The reception was in the barn and they had lights and cute little decorations everywhere.  I loved it!

    <div>It's in the Appalachians but not along the trail. It is just an individual trail that goes up to an overlook. The area is a big rock climbing spot but that's not something we're brave enough to try! </div><div>
    </div><div>I say I like hiking but really I prefer just strolling through the woods. </div>

  • YAY Friday!!

    I have a date with TLC tonight lol
    I think we're going to go out for supper tonight and I have to hit up Michael's for something. Then FI can suffer through some SYTTD with me; my son actually enjoys it!

    Saturday, I have plans to take my son to the Museum of Nature for some Mommy and Noah time. We used to do stuff together all the time when it was just us and I miss it; I think he does too :(

    Sunday is my boudoir session!! I am having my makeup done for it.
    I told FI that I had an appt Sunday morning so he has to take care of Noah. He asked me if Noah could go with me? Uhm, no. He's super curious about what I'm doing... lol

    Kelly- I am also waiting on an invite to a wedding on April 21st in the suburbs of Chicago! Could it be we are waiting on an invite to the same wedding?? Is the wedding on the south side? I am a cousin of the groom and of course we couldnt make it to the shower (being from TX) but we sent a gift.

    I would PM you but my PM's dont work and TK doesnt know why or how to fix it.

    haha that's crazy. i actually have no idea where the wedding is, but she (my mom's cousin) is from a northwest suburb. she lives in buffalo grove, as does most of her family. i'm not sure where the groom is from. so it's possible? but i figured they'd get married around where she lives, because her whole family lives in the same neighborhood.

    Hmmm...Im not sure where the bride is from but I dont think it is that far from the groom and we drove past the venue when we were in town last November and it is definitely too far from Buffalo Grove. Guess it was just a coincidence. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />

  • Thanks Ibarr. Our biggest concern is that a DJ wasn't something we budgeted for, and so far the least expensive price we've found is $1200 (we haven't called anyone yet, we were just gathering a gerenal gist of pricing online). So we're reviewing the budgets (wedding & personal) again to see where we can trim & save. 

    celtic- I love strolling through the woods too. The rail trails around here are FI & I's favorite places to walk. They're mostly flat, but you can walk/bike/run for what feels like forever.

    I won't be home but my DVR will be recording TLC all night haha!  When you said your son enjoys SYTTD I thought, has he seen you in your dress?  If so, how did he react?  Feel like that must have been (or will be) a really special moment.  Super cute you are having some one-on-one time.  I think that is really important for parents and kids.  Have fun with your boudoir shoot!  You are going to look gorgeous!  I had so much fun at mine...I want to do another one haha.  I had to back pedal on my cover story a few times myself.  Not too bad though because FI had moved out of town by the time I did it.

    This weekend I am visiting FI...it's been 2 weeks since I've seen him so I'm so excited.  I leave right after work so 5 can not get here fast enough.  He does have to work all weekend though so not sure how much I'll actually see him but just to sleep next to him and have some time is worth the drive.  I'll be spending most of tomorrow in a hotel room.  It was too hard to transport all my DIY stuff with me so I'm going to get ahead in my school work so when I'm home next week I can do my DIY projects when I would have been studying.  One thing for the wedding I will get done is go to Hobby Lobby tomorrow!  There is one where FI is and not one where I live.  I've never been but hear great things.  And they have the kind of paint I need for my chair back signs (can't find it anywhere else). 
  • Happy Friday everyone! I am glad it's Friday because that means I don't have to get up at 6am tomorrow. I just got the 50% off email from Michaels and I am trying to think of anything I need and I am blanking. I know we still need things, but I can't think of one single Item. Must be wedding freeze, I think I might just go tomorrow and look around and see if anything catches my eye.

  • I got that 50% off coupon too - there is one thing I do need and it's regular price right now so SAAAWEEEET!

  • SYTTD... if we have power! We have been under tornado warnings all day.
    So far we have dodged the bullet! We were hit by one last May (almost $40,000 in damage!) so they kind of freak me out now!
    Going to see DD & FI this weekend. Hopefully visit some florists & maybe even look at some tuxes!
  • Saturday AM is Zumba. I have a makeup consultation on Sunday.   Other than that I am just chilling.
