Pennsylvania-Pittsburgh

TGIF!

Morning!
  Yesterday was an insane day.  FI and I went to Pittsburgh for the day and it was HOT.  We had lunch at the casino and stayed to play a little.  I ended up winning $50 so I was very happy:-)  We got to the county-city building at 3:59 and raced inside since they take the last marriage license applicants at 4:00.  Got that finished and then ran over to the park on the North Side for our e-pics.  It was really nice.  Then we went onto some of the bridges and took the rest of our pictures there.  I can't wait to see them!  We were sweating like crazy, but I think they will be great.
  Not looking forward to being at work today-coming back off a day off is always tough because the kids need to know where I was, why I was there, and the paperwork is just nuts.  Hope everyone has a fabulous day!

    Good Morning everyone!
    Last night we had a fun night of shopping at KOP mall. We went to Chili's for dinner then shopping. FI got some shirts and polos etc. and I found a cute skirt and tank top. I'm exceptionally exhausted today and hope this day goes by quickly!! Have a great day everyone and WOHOO for the 3 day weekend!

    So today is exactly ONE YEAR from my wedding!! Yikes!! I'm SO excited!! :)

    H - So glad all went well in Pittsburgh yesterday!! Can't wait to see your e-pics!!

    Good Morning and TGIF! I will be busy, busy tonight. I have to pick up our Dali etching in Georgetown after work... hoping the metro isn't too packed. Then I need to clean like crazy tonight. Tom. my parents come, and we'll be going to the zoo, then Buca di Beppo's for dinner. Sunday will be church, then a little shopping. Monday we'll probably just relax, no real plans.

    Have a wonderful, safe Memorial Day everyone!

    H- Yay for your winnings! GL getting through today- at least it's Friday!


    G- Yay for one year until your wedding! It's kinda funny, I remember the one- year mark exactly, mainly b/c that's the day I got my dress.

    Kim - sounds like an awesome weekend! Make sure to take a picture of your etching when you get it! I'd love to see it!! I just  LOVE Dali and his work! :) Have fun with your parents!

    By the way - where is everyone today?!? It's super slow on here and I'm exceptionally bored at work! lol... Hope things pick up a bit! Maybe people are taking off to have a long 4 day weekend? Either way, hope things pick up a bit!

    Morning! Yesterday was pretty great, I worked from home and got SO many visitors! My mom stopped over, then my dad stopped over and then DF's mom stopped over to show us her new convertible. DF and I grilled out with my dad for dinner and we hung out on our porch most of the evening. It was really nice!

    I'm super stoked for this weekend. My family has huge BBQ's on holidays and I plan on sitting in the sun and eating tons of food all weekend! I have Monday off for the holiday and then Tuesday is my birthday, and my work considers everyone's birthday a holiday and we get a free day off. I'm actually having my first dress fitting Tuesday because that's the only time I could get into Clarissa's.


    H-Glad you got your marriage license taken care of- I'm sure your pictures will be great!
    G- the year will go by so fast! That's exciting!
    Kim- It sounds like you're going to have a fun weekend!
    I hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend!

    Heather - I saw on your bio that you're using Joey Kennedy for your photographer, and I just wanted to let you know that we are too!  We had our e-pics last month and we LOVE them!  They're on his blog - we're Joseph & Julia. I can't wait to see yours!  Joey is wonderful.

    I know I don't post that much on the board (work is so busy for me lately) but it's nice to come on and read everyone's posts!  You've all been very helpful :)

    I'm heading to Pittsburgh this weekend for a friend's wedding and plan to get some wedding tasks taken care of (dress fitting, makeup trial, hair trial).  Three months until my wedding - I'm very excited!

    Good morning, you three!  Slow board today indeed!  Last night I had kickboxing and Zumba, then went out for quick Thai food with FI and worked on my invitations the rest of the night- I'm dropping off about 60% of them at the post office today and the rest tomorrow morning!  This weekend is looking pretty busy- some Memorial Day cookout stuff, two ballroom lessons, maybe a Cubs game tomorrow, and then on Sunday morning I'm flying back to Pittsburgh until Wednesday night to see my grandma and do a ton of WR stuff.

    Also, today is my LAST day at work!  I can't even believe it.  I am so sad to leave here.

    Heather, glad you had a fun (if warm) day yesterday!  Can't wait to see your epics.
    Gianna, HAPPY ONE YEAR!  It's your negative anniversary :)
    Kim, sounds like an awesome weekend.  I love the National Zoo so much!

    hey hey hey everyone.  Sorry I'm so MIA.  No laptops in my bar review classes, then I get to office and am swamped.  Hurry up verizon and release the new BB so I can knut away!  lol.

    In celebration of Pittsburgh restaurant week, I went to Bistro 19 with the girls last night, tonight to Common Plea with DH, and then tomorrow out somewhere else on a couples date with two others.  Other than play tennis and do some cleaning, I have zero plans this weekend.  We are NOT travelling.  lol.

    Good luck to everyone who's picking  up dresses, 1 year anniversary to wedding, having parents over, etc etc.

    Fine!  I have basically nothing to do- we've been listening to Lady Gaga and random dance songs all day, and we all went out for a nice lunch :)  Now I'm just cleaning out my desk!
