  • Rant: sleep apnea sucks! That's all I'm gonna say about that. Good thing I have a dr's appt in a week.

    Rave: we will have ceremony music! SO excited for that! Plus we booked our hotel for the HM to Colorado! Excited for that, too!

    Weekend plan: My SIL and brother are coming over Sunday to see the new house and bring us our card box. It's a mailbox and she handpainted it. So excited, can't wait to see it. I also need to finish a few projects such as aisle markers (few more to make) and start on the escort cards.
  • Rant:  STILL don't have any clue how we're going to pull off moving because we don't have orders.  STUPID Air Force :(  Also, no money right now to work on ANY of my projects.  Seriuosly wrecking my DIY buzz :(

    Rave:  Mom sent me a dress she found for the Rehearsal dinner and it's SO cute!  Can't wait to have a chance to find accessories!

    Weekend plans:  hopefully finishing moving and organizing!  Also some much-needed sleep after my ill-advised trip to the midnight premier of The Hunger Games last night/this morning!  (Don't get me wrong, the movie was AWESOME but being a HS teacher and being at school this morning at 7am was NOT good!)

    Raves:  We are officially renters!  The house is officially ours as of TODAY!  We are so excited!  We went over last night- took wendys- and just sat in the middle of the floor and talked!

    Weekend Plans:  Tonight:  girls night- mexican, margaritas, and bowling alley... then hanging out FI in our house (without a single piece of furniture=]).  Tomorrow:  going shopping for a shower and rehearsal dinner dress + getting my dress fitted!  Spending the rest of Saturday and Sunday cleaning up at the house and trying to get some wedding things checked off!

  • Rants: I am starting to get discouraged with job searching. I'm so impatient that it is driving me nuts that I don't have a job set up after graduation. But.. I am thankful FI has a job, so that is a plus :) Although, FI isn't coming home with me this weekend, and I always get sad when were apart.

    Raves: I'm spending the weeknd with my mom and step dad, which is nice :) Also, the wedding is getting so close and I'm so excited that it is FINALLY here!!

    Weekend Plans: I am making a TON of Pinterest recipes for mystep-dad's card night. I guess they always try to one up each other with new recipes that are fun.. so I thought, I can make Pinterest recipes!! So, I am excited for that!

    A) Lyme Disease is the pits.  I had a pretty scary scare years ago and I am still pretty traumatized by stupid ticks.

    B)Empty house/apt memories are some of my best.  My old roomie and I used to make sure we had 2 special nights in each place we lived- one night before we moved in, when it was empty, we would have a glas of wine, and just enjoy all the hopes we had for the apt, and then when we had all moved into the new place, we'd host a game night at the emptied out old place.  People would bring lawn chairs, and we'd set them up in the lviing room.  So fun.

    Moving on.

    Rants- Yes.  RSVP, people!  And also, I wish people would specify what they are having sent to our house.  We have two big boxes from one person, and I'm not sure if they are wedding or shower gifts!  And if it's a shower gift, am I supposed to bring it to the shower?  How am I supposed to write a proper thank you note if I don't know what it's for?! !

    Raves- Centerpices, Favors, music--  finally all decided.  I think all major decisions are done. Moving on now to scheduling.  Poo.  Also, rave rave rave, FI finally talked to his BM about what they will be wearing.  Phew!

    Weekend Plans- hoping to visit the pancake breakfast our local firehouse puts on..  And spend a lot of time with FI.  6 weeks to go.  Yikes!
    Anniversary
  • Rants: The clothes dryer died for the 3rd time in 6 months and no one can come fix it until Monday!  At least my bridal shower outfit (for tomorrow) was done drying before it died.  FI and I have to talk tonight to see if we just want to buy a new one. 

    Raves: Took today off from work in order to relax.

    Weekend Plans: My bridal shower is Saturday morning and my mom, sister-in-law, and niece are driving 300 miles to come for it.  It's a girls' only weekend!!!

    Rants: My car decided to have issues. Apparently the O2 sensor went out...Stupid thing. FI's truck is actually costing like $1400 to fix. Crazy emotional because who knows why!!

    Raves: We got our house and getting everything set up!! I can't wait to move in!! Getting more and more excited for the wedding everyday!! :)

    Weekend Plans: Hopefully fix my car. Then we have 2 wedding receptions of friends to go to and some good quality time with my wonderful FI.

  • Rants:  Hmmm...it's tax season and my world is crazy right now.  I'm overwhelmed with both work and wedding stuff and feel like there is no break or time to just breath.

    Raves: had my second fitting today and it went great.  Getting more and more excited.

    WP:  tonight -- FI and I have had our Friday night grocery/dinner out date since we've been together.  Lame we know but have you ever been grocery shopping on a Friday night?  2 words: peace & quiet.  Sat:  FI suit fitting; working; and benefit for my uncle who has been very ill.  Sun: seating chart, seating chart, seating chart!
    Time of our lives Anniversary
  • Rants: Why does everything on a Friday have to be done in CRISIS MODE at work? Would really like a nice relaxed Friday for once.

    Raves: getting very excited for the wedding. had a second dress fitting this week! and have 2 bridal showers coming up!

    Weekend plans: Hopefully making some picture frames with FI that were supposed to be part of my x-mas present. Typical weekend stuff, laundry, cleaning, nothing too terribly exciting.

  • Rants:  Took my car in yesterday to be looked at (the steering wheel has been making weird noises), turns out I need a new steering shaft so that'll cost $300 to fix :(

    Raves: All of our major remodel plans are done in our house!! We updated two baths, built a walkin closet in our bedroom, put all new doors on, tiled both bathrooms, the kitchen, the foyer and the hallway, and cut down (and cleaned up) a tree from the front yard. Now all that is left to do is to paint, paint, and paint some more! So excited to see our house come together like this!!

    Weekend Plans: Every spring FI and I head to Detroit for a Red Wings game! We're leaving at about noon today so we can stop and see from friends who recently moved down there then its off to the game. I am so excited about tonight's game, our seats are on the glass!!!! Can't Wait!!!!! :):):)
