Okay, Ladies!

So now that the New Year is here, and those crazy holidays have come and gone...

How is everyone?  Any checks, both WR and NWR?

If anyone has weird questions for quizzes, please PM them to me, so I can start up this again!  Part of the problem has been that I just can't think of a ton and ton of quiz questions!

In addition to Quiz Day, to help get this board moving, what other fun posts would you like to see? 

For example (not limited to):
Health Check-In Day,
rants (also called WTF), confessions,
Letter day (where you write a letter to who/what/anything you want),
What's for Dinner,
Recipes,
Venting,
AW (Attention Whore- where when you have something big going on, WR/NWR, that you want to bring the board's attention to),
Quizzes
Vendor Post (where you post the vendors from you wedding- even if you only have a few- so others who may need a vendor can see what is out there)

The other thing we can work on is a DE Knotties Blog.  Now, the Philly board has one of these, and it basically lists the vendors that are out there that Knotties have used (if you look at the top post on the Philly board, there is a link to it).  I started putting one together, but just ran out of steam on it.  If anyone has suggestions on how we can work together to get it up and running, that would be great. 

Also, related to the blog, one of the biggest things that would help is if everyone could send me a list of vendors- both ones they used and ones they didn't use, since I was planning on having a list page and a Knottie page- that would help me from having to research it and find them all myself.  I know that would really help me in getting it up and running.

If anyone has other suggestions for fun days (something you may have seen on your month board, or seen on other sites, etc), list it here!  Then, we can choose some fun stuff to do throughout the week, to get the board hopping and having something fun to look forward to :)

    Love the blog idea... I was actually going to PM you last week and talk about setting one up, but I totally forgot. 

    As for checks...

    I'm in the process of having my invites designed.  I've been going back and forth with a graphic designer about the invites, and I'm supposed to get the first revision by this weekend.  I'm excited!  They look great so far, so I'm excited to see the final product.

    I'm waiting for my florist contract... we gave them the deposit, and they're supposed to send us the contract, but I haven't received it yet.  It makes me nervous, so I emailed my contact there to see what's going on. 

    NWR checks... I'm changing desks at work?  And it's annoying.  lol.  So far I've thrown away a lot of old outdated paperwork from 2000-2007 (and some from the 90s...) but no actual moving has happened yet.  They're totally tearing up our office right now and doing all this construction, but we can't do any moving to our new desks until the computer graveyard that is the desk I'm moving to gets cleaned up.
    Paprika: I like it when you burp in my ear. It really turns me on.

    I think the blog is a great idea!  I've seen it on other local pages and it would be nice to have one for DE.

    WR:  Nothing really.  I basically took December off, and now I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.  I need to nail down my caterer STILL!!! (I've been working on this for about 7 months now!), a videographer (FI job but he hasn't done a single thing), and go BM dress shopping.  Those are my goals for this month.

    NWR:  Getting a mortgage has been a hassle and a half!  I don't recommend PNC so we are switching banks (AFTER the mortgage was approved) so hopefully we'll have an easier time and it will be a smooth process.

    Soon--when we got our mortgage, we went through Wilmington Trust, and had an amazing experience.  Our mortgage is now through Bank of America (don't know why) but we've never had an issue.  I miss house shopping... it was fun.  We saw some absolute disasters, and only 3 liveable houses... but it made for some fantastic stories! If you need a realtor, let me know.  Ours was fantastic.

    Where is your venue again, and which caterers have you checked out??

    RA- your mortgage is with Bank of America probably because Wilm Trust sold it to them.  It's not unheard of; they get "bundled" with many, many others and sold as a package.

    When my mom owned her first home, she said hers was sold every single year.  It's especially likely to happen when you go with a small mortgage company, rather than one of the giants.

    And we won't touch BOA, not after the crap they pulled on us the last time we went to try and buy a house.

    We're actually going with Wilmington Trust.  FI had the appointment with them this morning.  Sometime during the first quarter though, they are changing into M&T.

    I'm getting married at Mount Harmon Plantation in Cecilton, MD about 20 minutes away from Middletown (that's actually where the hotel is because its the closest).  We have been in contact with Bixby's but are just waiting for the tasting on January 18th before signing the contract.  FI doesn't want to hire a caterer until he knows he likes the food.

    We had a couple caterers drop off the face of the earth after we had tastings, never to hear from them again.  Its been terrible but I have hopes for Bixby's!!

    I love the idea of a blog. maybe just have a post like Amer does on the Philly board to collect all the information in one place. I also love health checkins and confessions but i usually dont have alot I just like hearing what everyone else is doing/having trouble with. It usually reminds me of things to do haha.

    Soon-good luck with the caterers! I agree that you should taste the food. even if i still havent but our venue is doing the caterering and everything else is wonderful. plus they have good reviews on the food. So maybe when my MOH comes down this summer ill go to lunch or dinner there one night. :D

    MBR-what did BOA do? I have an account with them but it literally is just so i can get cash out down here! None of my banks have atms here grrr. But i think i am going to close it cause we just put me on FIs PNC account cause we had an engagement check made to us.
