TGIF!!!!!

What are your weekend plans??  Anything WR or NWR??

Re: TGIF!!!!!

  • YES! I'm so glad it's Friday!

    We're going to clean our new house more this weekend and start decorating! Maybe start working on our ceremony. I just want to lay around all weekend long though!

  • Happy Friday!!

    WR: Surprisingly, lots of WR stuff!! Yesterday I picked up our direction cards from the venue and bought stamps for our invitations. I definitely feel like the wedding is getting sooo close! Today, I'm going to make an appointment for a new hair trial with someone my mom knows who is much cheaper than the stylist I had originally scheduled for my trial. Tonight FI and I are going to look at wedding bands so he can make a final decision and we can order our rings. Then, we're going to Macy's to look for more reasonably priced sheets for our registry. FI has his heart set on the Hotel Collection sheets, but they are so ridiculously priced. 

    NWR: Meeting friends for dinner tomorrow, working out, relaxing!

  • thank GOD it is Friday! THis week has been so busy, I can't wait to even have just a couple hours to lay on the couch with fiance and veg out!

    Tonight we are meeting a group of my law school friends for dinner and probably going out after to a bar to watch the IU v. Kentucky game (Let's GO IU!!!!!!!)

    Tomorrow...........HUNGER GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IN IMAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I seriously don't think I have ever been so excited for a movie in my entire life. I am going to be the awkward 27 year old in a sea of teenagers wearing my Hunger Games hoodie and shaking with excitement.  

    Sunday my mom and I are going to do some craft shopping...wish me luck...I am so NOT crafty. We want to get stuff work on a card box, perhaps something to write the seating chart on (I LOVE Bridetobe's idea, but I don't think I am capable of pulling it off!) and MAYBE some wood for sign DIY-ing. I really want some cute signs for the reception - like a "Happily Ever After begins Here" sign, and some love signs and just married signs to put on the cake table and the gift table. We need to find shoes for my mom and for my grandma for the wedding as well. 
  • We are going shopping for FI's suit.  We are planning a 3 piece suit with a vest in a grey linen!  NWR - going to see Hunger Games at IMAX tomorrow night! 
  • WR: I'm going to pick up my dress today - and having a fitting to make sure the alterations went well.

    NWR: I start working at the zoo on Sunday. 8:45am - 5:00pm. I feel a tiny bit nervous - just because I'm starting on a weekend :p and a weekend where the weather will be nice - so they will be busy.

    Also - have to start getting my school bags, nursing uniform, and homework started for spring quarter. In nursing school, there is no such thing as Spring break. We have assignments already due on Monday - our first day back. Shoot me.

    School starts back up Monday - and I have a whopping eighteen credit hours - and I'll be working 24+ hours each week -and I'm the grocery-buyer, laundry-doer, and house cleaner..so I'm nervous about all the homework I'll have and how I'll get it done.

  • WR: we are going to try and look for his wedding band. I already have mine since he purchased it with my e-ring. We are also going to look at tux styles as well.
    NWR: We have his cousins 40th birthday party that is pretty much it. We will probably be working on our apt. all weekend oh joy!

    Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

  • Heading up to LA after work today for my brother's wedding weekend!! He's getting married on Sunday. I'm a bridesmaid and thought I would be more excited, it hasn't really hit me yet. I am sure I will take mental notes on everything! :-)

  • WR: We had our FOCCUS session at the church last night and our counseling sessions to talk about the results are scheduled for next month.  Nothing else WR for us this weekend.

    NWR: We were trying to schedule house-hunting visits for this weekend but the 2nd realtor we've been dealing with has yet to get back to me.  :(  This weekend I'll be spring cleaning and getting the house ready for my MOH's bachelorette party next weekend! 

    It should be illegal to have to work in an office when it's this nice outside.  UGH.

  • YAY for Friday!!

    WR: My sister is coming down from NH to visit and help with our new kitty and wedding stuff. We are making some more pomanders and working on the DIY place cards. She is driving to Indiana for Easter, so I'm going to be giving her a bunch of stuff to take back for me (I'm flying, so can't take much!) I should also be getting my invite proofs today, so planning to make up one so I can get it weighed and find out how much postage I need to buy!

    NWR: We will probably go play tennis tomorrow morning if it's nice...hopefully FI will come too. Also need to go to Target for some things, and REALLY need to go to the grocery. Too bad my car payment is going through this week...makes me broke every time lol

    Dude. If I am capable of pulling it off, so are you! Whatever creativity I used to have was knocked out of me in law school :)

    WR: My mom is coming into town this weekend! Going with her to buy my earrings at Saks and then going shopping for my clutch and her shoes. Also going over the menu items and potentially paring down our desserts (going to suck) and then going over the final (FINAL) invitations with her so that she can sign off on them.

    NWR: Dinner with my fiance's dad tonight (he's in town!) and then dinner with my mom on Saturday. And a bunch of work on Sunday, unfortunately.  :(

  • WR - Working on the ribbon wands which I have started but need to finish. Tonight we are meeting with our friend who will be our officiant and going over the ceremony script. Tomorrow I have my first hair trial (YAY!) and then will be going makeup shopping with my MIL.

    NWR - Going to the inlaws to have some delayed Saint Patty's Day celebration (My fiance is Irish)!
  • 6billionsouls - Oooo, ribbon wands. I want to make these, too! Our church won't allow anything to be thrown, but I still want some fun photos with us leaving. I may end up just purchasing sparklers, though. Have fun at your hair trial!

  • Yay Friday! Not much wedding related going on. I have to wait til I get paid next week lol. But I am still trying to figure out the officiant thing. Apparently a judge from Conn. can't marry someone in NY unless he gets ordained online. Which just seems silly. So now its either my uncle getting ordained online (again silly), or a friend of FI. Not sure but I need to figure it out soon.

    NWR: Tonight FI has a gig about a half-hour away from here. And I'm the DD for a group of his comedian friends who are all perfoming. So I'll be out most of the night. Then tomorrow at 11:00 I'm going to Hungar Games!!! So excited. Not sure what else is going on.

  • This weekend is going to be super busy. 

    WR: Today; I am buying my earrings from etsy. Calling rehearsal dinner place (yes, its still on my to-do list after like a month).  And tonight, a friend is going out with me to find bridesmaids jewelry!!! Literally, besides photographer and guest list, this is the task that has taken the most of my time. My MOH and I have slightly different tastes, and are both picky, and finding cheap stuff that doesnt look too cheap has just been a nightmare thus far. Also; i am going to start trying to track down addresses from people that I still need them from. 

    NWR: I have a friends wedding shower tomorrow! Super excited. and Sunday I have a potluck dinner reunion from the spring break trip I did. I also have plenty of homework that I am currently avoiding, so I'll have to find time for that too.

    I FEEL THE SAME WAY!
  • yes elizabethmae please PIP your earrings!!! This is one of my current projects and I need more inspiration!!

    What type of look at you going for with your BMs? I probably spent a pathetic amount of time on Etsy looking for my BM jewelry and I found probably about 20 etsy shops that I loved.....you can get really high quality (and super unique) jewelry on Etsy for cheaper than you can at the mall!
  • I'm so excited its Friday!!

    NWR - We are going for a home inspection tomorrow and the sellers finally signed the P&S agreement!! I also have to work tomorrow afternoon then one of my BM's is coming for the night.  Sunday I have tons of cleaning and homework for school :(

    WR - I have a venue meeting on Sunday at noon.  Other than that probably not much of anything, maybe doing some scouting for gifts for my bridal party.  I also am getting my shoes tomorrow!!
