    WR: Nothing this weekend!

    NWR: Celebrated my FI getting his first full time job offer! We were so excited because it is the company he has really been wanting to work for. And then I had a job interview myself and have heard great feedback so far so keep your fingers crossed. :)

    WR: Put a deposit down on our cake, now just have to figure out exactly what we want. We were supposed to meet with a potantial DJ but he had car trouble and had to cancel so to make up for it hes coming all the way to me so I dont have to drive anywhere which is a very nice gesture. Now trying to pick out our invitations so we can get going on those. Its so hard cause FI doesnt really care so im on my own with most of the planning. Thanks goodness his mom has been helping a lot lately.

    NWR: Still working on our house. We started water this weekend so now we just need to run the pipes. :)
  • WR: Ordered the cake topper & a "Cards" sign from craftyeddy, which I had been meaning to do for a while. I can't wait for them to get here so I can start decorating them (: Worked on the program format too, but that was about it.

    NWR: Not much, actually. I was a slug this weekend because I turned in a big paper on Thursday. FI had a couple of fun MTG-related events, and I watched TV and slept a lot. I'm taking a two-day trip to Stoke-on-Trent with my pottery class tomorrow, which should be lots of fun!
  • WR: Met with the priest and finalized the last of the ceremony details that we could- still need to pick music with the organist and write some prayers. But our time is settled so I ordered our invites and RSVP cards!!!! So, so excited about that. They should get here about three weeks from now. 

    NWR: We dogsat for my parents' so in addition to the two cats, a rabbit, and a snake, we had a dog visit! He's a very sweet, older mutt who's about fourteen-years-old. We also had one of my FSILs spend the night on Saturday and we all watched Rango, which was pretty "out there" for a kids movie. Other than the migraine that blindsided me on Sunday, it was a pretty decent weekend.

  • WR: Made a to do list of everything we need to do still. Now that the house is officially ours it is back to wedding planning. NWR: Cleaned the new house, bought a bunch of things for said house, did a 5k, and received an offer on the condo. Such a relief we won't have 2 mortgage payments to make.

  • WR: Went shopping with my Mom & Aunt and found decorations for the church, 2nd bridal shower invites, and shower gifts :)  I also tried on dresses for honeymoon, but didn't find anything, however my Aunt found and purchased a very cute top for me for my honeymoon!! :)  Also started addressing invitations, I got A-G done today!! :)

    NWR: Had a blast just hanging with my Mom this weekend.  Dad was hiking the Grand Canyon, FI was at his Dad's, so it was a girls weekend (which ended tonight lol)!!  We watched pretty much every week of Dancing With The Stars (just not the 1st one), watched Soul Surfer, made AMAZING food (stir fry, crab salad, veggies and dip, popcorn), went to watch my high school's grand march, and just had fun!!

  • WR- Tied bows on invitations, went to see the BM dresses to make sure they were all there and were the right color and everything, found out our daughter's flower girl dress is in and went to see it (I was even more excited than when my dress came in), I can't wait to see her in it :)

    NWR- Went to a fundraiser/walk for the Tomorrow Fund. I have a cousin who this organization helped a lot when he was sick and we have been going to this event every year since it started. Had a great time, the munchkin loved it, she was running around everywhere and really gave me a work out.
