Weekend Updates

Share with us your WR and NWR updates from the weekend!

Re: Weekend Updates

  • WR - MOH and I finally talked. I am still unsure about how this is all going to turn out for our friendship and she is supposed to let me know this week if she wants to be in the wedding. I told her I still wanted her there. Things are strained and weird. I ordered my flowers, including MOH, If she isn't in it maybe I will combine the bonquets.

    NWR - Went to a benefit concert for a local girl with cancer on Sat. They raised $1500 for her that night which is great. Found out that a  8  yo boy this organization sponsered 2 years ago passed away over the weekend. Moved my kids room around and put my 2 1/2 yo into a big boy bed. Last night he got us up about 5 times. Ugh! Tired.

    WR: Nothing much other than tracking RSVPs.

    NWR: Saw my little brother's Bluegrass band perform. Watched the Grandma's Marathon, which runs right past our apartment. A couple friends came to visit because one was running in the marathon.
  • WR: We sent invitations out on Thursday, so it has been fun to get RSVPs back! We also went shopping for centerpiece books and candles. Today I'm going shopping for shoes with my mom. NWR: We grilled out with my parents for fathersday, and took my FI dad our for dinner. We also went to the farmers market and a baby shower.
  • WR: bought a basket to hold the favors. Got the ribbon and flower to go on the cake and delievered them to the bakery. Tracked RSVP's.

    NWR: Had a wonderful father's day cookout for my FI, FFIL, my uncles and my granadfather. It was great and I am exhausted.

  • WR: paid for the tuxedo and decided on pocket squares instead of boutonnieres for the guys. I'm happy about that because a) most men don't care to wear flowers, b) it makes the flower deliveries a little easier, and c) we can apply the cost of the boutonnieres to more centerpiece flowers for our cocktail tables. Win, win, win. I think we will start getting RSVPs back today, too, because I mailed invitations on Thursday afternoon. NWR: prepped for two interviews. I have been on the job hunt for a while with no bites, and all of a sudden this week I have two interviews! Yay! Some income would be nice, lol. We went to a fancy bar downtown on Saturday with friends, too, which was cool because we don't get downtown too often.
  • WR: Super busy weekend for me.   I got my 2nd pair of shoes - I know I won't be able to last in the heels all night.   Purchased the items for the bathroom baskets and assembled them.  Purchased the tiles to make the photo coaster favors.   Found a spa for pampering wtih my family the day before. 

    NWR: Spent time with friends.  Enjoyed the Fremont Solstice Parade - my first time ever attending it and this is the 4th summer I've been in Seattle.

  • WR: Worked on fixing our invites so the post office would accept them and they could be mailed. Aparently the ink used was to hard to see even though I and everyone I know didnt have a problem seeing it..

    NWR: Went to be bff daughters 1st bday party. Then Sunday had a fathers day/birthday cookout. I cant believe my baby turned 5 yesterday...Its so bittersweet.
  • WR - Finished invites and dropped them in the mail - EXCEPT for the 3 missing addressed on FI's side *sigh*  I've asked FI, his mom, his dad and his grandma for these address (they aren't listed in the phone book).  I finally gave his mom a list and asked for them by Wednesday.

    NWR - FI and I had lots of great time with our kids individually. We took his daughter for ice cream on Friday night and my son for tacos on Saturday night.

    WR: Got to go see our wedding bands!  They are absolutely beautiful!  We haven't fully paid them off yet though, so we couldn't bring them home.  

    I also got stamps for our invitations and got the invisible ink pen I ordered so I could number the backs of the RSVPs!  Our invitations are now all assembled and ready to go!  I think I am taking them to the Post Office tomorrow to get them hand canceled.  I'm a little ahead of the 6-8 week "rule," but I figure a few days early won't hurt.

    NWR: Yesterday was my birthday, we we hung out with a few friends on Friday evening and went to FI's parent's house yesterday.

  • WR: I didn't really accomplish anything this weekend, yikes! Instead I've moved backwards on the most important accessory ever! I finally found bridesmaid shoes and ordered those, I got a couple of RSVP's back, and then I discovered that some very irritating FI did not have enough money to pay the mortgage this month and I had to use our tax refunds that I had been saving for a nice ring instead to pay the mortage... *giant sigh*

    NWR: I went on a hike on Saturday and got eaten alive by these darn Alaskan mosquitoes! We had a BBQ on Friday night and sometime after I went to bed the fire spread from the fire pit. I woke up Saturday morning to find a giant patch of burnt grass in our yard! Not sure if my FI could have done any more to drive me nuts this weekend!

    NWR - I worked most of the weekend since I was out of school for a week and was trying to rack up hours, of course it was absolutley beautiful outside until Sunday when I didn't work.. BOO! so it was just a lounge around kind of day.
