Monday Check In!

Get any WR or NWR, big/exciting/amazingly awesome, things done over the weekend??

--

WR - Finally started the long task of getting our wedding pics up on FB.... Only have 80 up so far.  It's going to be a LONG process!  Ordered my BM dress on Saturday for my friends wedding, next June!  So excited for that wedding!!  = )

NWR - Cleaned like a mad woman, was part of the rite of welcome & acceptance at our church as part of my RCIA program! Also, printed off a great saying from Pinterest & put it in a frame & up on the wall.  Love it!  = )

    WR: This is WR but not for me.. My MOH (KristinAndAlan) came to visit me and they decided on a venue and we came up with a great wedding theme for her, so exciting! 
    I also decided how I want my hair after doing a mini-trial of it. My Pastor sent me templates of program outlines, so now I have to get working on that over winter break!

    I haven't updated in a while. :)

    WR: I have been contemplating making hair flowers for my BM’s, but my mom thinks they will look too home crafty, so I really need to find the right fabric to show her I can do it-looked at Joann’s, no luck! I did also made an appointment to pick up my dress next Monday. Yes!!!  NWR: made some mosaic art for our living room, and worked on a 50th Anniversary scrapbook for my grandparents for 12 hours. I have about 1-2 hours of finishing on it, then I need to order it ASAP-I need it next Saturday!!!

    I made my hair flower & my girls made theirs... I don't think they looked to homemade & I got a bunch of compliments on it.  Here's a close up of mine at the wedding...

    WR: We finished out what we wanted off our Crate and Barrel registry, picked up my dress from the cleaners (only to find out they missed sections of the hem so I am going to make them re-do it), had someone stop by to try on my dress to see if it fits her (I am selling it)

    NWR: H and I did a bunch of cleaning Sunday morning (and I need to AW the H because he definitely does his part in cleaning! goes so much faster when I have help). We most likely will have visitors the next couple weekends so this will make prep for that so much easier.

    WR: Made appointments with about 10 venues to check them out Thursday and Friday. Hopefully we can choose a venue this next weekend. 

    NWR: Got to meet my new nephew on Thursday!  I forgot how tiny newborns are.

    WR:  I spent some time comparing quotes from florists, so hopefully I'll have one booked soon.  My mom also came up one day and we finished my flower girl basket.  I started learning calligraphy so I can address the invites.  It's taken me hours and lots of sheets of paper.  I'm all the way through lower case p.  I haven't even tried capitals yet.  It's gonna be a long process, but I think it's worth it for nicely addressed envelopes.

    NWR:  Homework.  I have to make a video for one of my classes, which I think is ridiculous.  Also, FI and I are hosting Thanksgiving, so we spent a lot of time cleaning and organizing the house.

    So In Love

    WR:  FI and I checked out a couple hotels for our room block.  Pretty sure we settled on one just need to make sure with his side.  85 a night at a Hilton you cannot complain!  We also went to Jared I got my ring cleaned and FI ordered me a 3rd band which will be my wedding gift!  And he tried rings on.  Ordered 2 in his size to see what he likes.  Then I will pick it out.

    NWR:  Played bingo at a local bar and won 90 bucks!  And started planning out Thanksgiving dishes to make!  I love the Holiday's!

    WR: We did ALOT this weekend! My mom and I put together all of our chinese take out boxes! 300 of them! But I love them and think they are so cute! I finished stamping all of our cocktail napkins.  Then my FI and I went to a 6 hour pre marital seminar. We absolutely loved it and feel as though they went over some really great stuff and it sparked great conversations between my FI and I. Now I can't wait to go back for our 4 hours of counseling! :) Then after that we did a cake tasting and chose our cake baker! It was an amazing weekend with a ton of checks.

    NWR: Spent time with my family while I was back home for the weekend. I even helped them start to put up christmas lights on the house (since it was fairly nice out today).

    I got some more RSVPs in on Saturday, which was exciting! My mom and I sent in what we wanted as the menu for the rehearsal dinner. I also got J on the ball with making sure his GM(s) get fixed for their tuxes ASAP. And of course I just sat up at night thinking about things that I need to do.

    Holy Shiit you are close! When did that happen? :)

    That is fun to get RSVPs back!  Good luck in the next month or two with your final details!

    Haha I have NO idea how it happened. It just snuck up so fast! I feel like the next month is going to fly by too, especially with the holidays going on at the same time!!
    I haven't gotten any "No" RSVPs yet, which is kind of fun, though of course I know there will be some coming. It is kinda funny seeing who sends them back the fastest because they are really random and not who I would have assumed would have sent them back right away. KWIM?

    Also, by "fixed" I meant "fitted". Hah. Now I feel like it sounds as if I want the GMs to get neutered.

    WR: I had my bridal shower on Saturday and wrote ALL my thank you notes yesterday afternoon (my hand is killing me, but at least they're in the mail today!). We also finalized choices for invitations, made arrangements for reception parking and finished our DIY card box.

    NWR: Packing, packing and more packing! I'm moving to FI's house at the end of the month, so my apartment is total chaos right now. I've taken at least 20 bags/boxes to Goodwill, and sold a bunch of stuff on Craigslist and eBay too.

    WR:  We officially picked our church, finished collecting address' so we can send out our STD's, and updated our wedsite.  Feel's great to have almost all my address' together!

    NWR:  It was deer hunting weekend so we enjoyed some quality time with family and friends.  FI did some hunting and I just hung out visiting.  Maybe had a little too much fun on Sat, but it was worth it haha ;-)
