Weekend Updates! :)

Fill us in on your WR and NWR checks from this weekend. :)

Re: Weekend Updates! :)

  • WR: I went shopping with my mom and FMIL for their dresses for the wedding! My mom found hers and a pair of adorable shoes to go with it and my FMIL wanted to spend more time looking another day. I also spoke with my grandma and FMIL about dates for bridal showers which is so crazy to think about!

    NWR: I started the book Cathing Fire and am loving it so far. :)
  • WR: Did the printing, cutting, & assembling of invities, put together guest list for the shower (so bizarre to think that it'll be my shower that I'm going to), contacted a few calligraphers for price quotes, found a cake topper for FI's groom's cake

    NWR: watching the weather, & outlining for finals :(

  • WR: My mom got her dress on Friday. We sent our graphic designer all the info like guests' addresses. Two of five GM got measured and store ordered FI's tux. NWR: We had FI's friends and their FI's/ gf's over. Got a lawn mower for our new house lol and got ready for our new dog picking up next weekend.
  • WR: I started designing our programs, we picked our readings and went over possible ceremony music and readers. I also finished my first DIY project- handsewing a 30' rainbow felt flag banner! It looks amazing, I'm so happy with it. Also received my table numbers and aisle decor- my wedding storage room is filling up!

    NWR: Got my hair cut and dyed for the first time- no more greys, yay! My FI and I went grocery shopping, did laundry, and gave our two kitties waterless baths (they're so soft and good-smelling now.) Pretty laidback weekend overall.

  • WR: Not much...figured out a date for the shower and our engagement pictures.

    NWR: My grandma had a stroke, so I went to my hometown to visit her in the hospital.  Luckily, she is already improving a lot.  I also got to help a friend celebrate her birthday and go to my cousin's baby shower.
  • Libby, I hope your grandmother gets better soon!

    WR: Not much besides verbally hashing out some details I want to finalize in regards to favors and music.


    NWR: Went to my uncle's 60th birthday party and watched a lot of hockey and baseball

  • WR. Once again not much. Need to get back into planning mode. We've started looking at options for the day after BBQ. Wedid get the invitations assembled during the week which was good,ready to be mailed after the move. NWR. The reason for the lack of wedding planning is the move. We've been packing boxes and moving stuff out of the condo getting it ready to go on the market this week. Did some shopping for appliances and patio furniture. On Saturday we went to the Sounders game and then I went on a bunny themed pub crawl with friends, nice to have a relaxing day.

    I missed last week so I have quite a bit of craziness to report

    WR: My mom and SIL surprised me with an announcement that they will be throwing me a shower in June. Selected our wedding cake (12" chocolate w/ PB filling, 9" pink champagne w/Marion berry mousse filling, 7" and 5" tiramisu). Started my 3rd attempt at a hair accessory.

    NWR: On the 5th FSIL went into the hospital and was in the ICU for 4 days. At first it was uncertain if she would make it but she has pulled through. She is still in the hospital but out of ICU. It seems when some parts improve, others get worse. Had my birthday that same weekend along with Easter so things were just crazy. Had some peace and warm weather yesterday so I planted my hanging fuchsia baskets and a hydrangea. It was nice to play in the dirt and clean up our patio. MOH found out today she will be having a girl in September.
  • Libby - Oh no!!  I hope your Grandma continues to improve, strokes are never fun!!

    Gingery1 - Oh no!!!  I'm glad your FSIL is ok, and hope she continues to improve!!

    WR: Not much, found out my Mom and Aunts are trying to figure out a date for my 2nd bridal shower (first one is this coming weekend with FI's side of the family!!  They decided to do it separately)!!

    NWR: FI is a tax preparer so he was super busy this weekend!!  We did manage to go to Buffalo Wild Wings with friends on Friday!!!  I ate one of my friend's WILD wings (WILD sauce is the 2nd hottest sauce on the menu) and actually liked it!!!!!!!!! :)
