Happy Monday!

Good morning everyone!

How was everyone's weekend? I went back to my hometown in KY to help pick out bridesmaids dresses with my best friend (her wedding, not mine). The store had a 'champagne party' for her and her bridal party. However, when we got there, the lady who was assigned to help us told us point blank, "you need to hurry and pick out a color and dress you want because I have to get out of here to travel to see my daughter." Yep. She really said that. Then she proceeded to try and rush us, she stressed my best friend out completely, and she couldn't figure out which vendor was which and claimed she didn't have a catalogue for the vendor my best friend ended up picking out.

So yeah. I think me and another bridesmaid are going to call and complain today. Luckily we girls found things we liked, and because I kept on this lady the whole time we were there I made sure she ordered my dress correctly (it has a white sash on it to match my best friend's wedding gown since I'm MOH).

Have a good day everyone!

    Morning!

    We had a fairly nice weekend. Friday we went to visit FSIL - she and her husband got a new black lab puppy that was SO cute! So we hung out with them for a while and played with the pup. Saturday we had our Pre Cana class ALL.DAY.LONG. It was pretty terrible! We started at 8:45am and went until 6:15pm! I really didn't find any of it helpful either - basically a wasted day... Yesterday FI worked in the AM so I went to the gym (FINALLY) then to the grocery store. FI came home and we made dinner and watches Despicable Me - it was cute! Hope everyone has a great day!

    Sarilynnep - Definitely call and let the salon know!! The way she acted was completely unacceptable. I'm glad, however, you guys found something you liked! Hope the order comes in correct!

    GMC- I LOVE black labs! I want one so bad! We won't buy a house for a while (we might have to move to Switzerland in 3 yrs) but as soon as we do I want a black lab! Too cute. And yeah, I'll call during lunch and complain. It was awful.

    Good morning ladies!  Boy am I tired today.  It is my own fault.  We shamelessly slept in until noonish yesterday...It was fabulous even if I am paying for it today. 
    We didn't do too much wedding stuff this weekend, except look around Michael's a little bit.  Our main color is Navy Blue with Sunflowers, but I think we are going to add some plum tones to some of our ideas....favors, table cards and such.  I put together some "swatches" and I absolutely love it...very rich, deep hues.

    Also, I didn't realized that Giant Eagle sells Michael's gift cards. Now we are going to buy a bunch before we go shopping. 

    Oh, and today is my "get back on track" day.  Need to start tracking calories again on my Lose it app and get my butt moving.  The scale was not kind this morning!  Wish me luck!!!  Aiming for 25-30 lbs before the wedding in October!


    Sarilynnep - I am glad everything worked out and you were there to help your friend with such a stressful day.

    GMC- We have 2 dogs.....Lacie & Lola.  Lacie is a shepherd mix who will be 12 in May.  Lola is a black lab who turned 6 last month.  Here is a picture of Lola with her baby and a link to her you tube birthday video...lol.  Yes, we are those people!!  lol


    Pittsburgh September Siggy - Our honeymoon will be at the Royal Suites Turquesas in P*nta Cana. Super excited!

    Hi Girls!

    This weekend was prettt good for me, minus being called into the hospital for a four hour surgery yesterday... Oh well. I almost finished all of my DIY hangers for me, DMs, MOB, MOG and our Jr Bridesmaid. Just need FI help with the drilling part :)
    Contacted two florists this weekend - Carrie Anne Powell and Brides & Butterflies and two DJs - Magic Moments & Andy Booth - so hoping to meet with them and get those things reserved for the wedding!

    Other big news - My FI and I built a home this past summer/fall but we were unable to sell the townhouse he already owned. We just listed it by owner last week and got an offer yesterday!!! So could definitely use some prayers/good vibes that everything goes through okay!!!

    We have been looking at dogs constantly. We really want a goldendoodle. They have a litter of available puppies a few hour away, but it just isn't working out for us to go see them b/c FI OOT and my call schedule :( I figure it will work out when it's meant to be :)

    Janice - I slept til noon on Saturday... glorious!

    G - We have to do those classes too. Expecting it to be pretty painful.

    Sar - Ugh I hate it when vendors act like jerks! I mean, we are giving them business! They should be at the very least professional! Let us know what happens.

    Janice, that video of you playing with the Painted Dogs at the Zoo is hilarious.  They really wanted that camera bag!

    I went out on Saturday to the bars with a few of my classmates and ended up having a really fun time-- I met them at the library to study and somehow we only studied for like an hour and then went to the bar.

    Randi just let me know that my wedding pictures should be done tomorrow, so now I'm super excited!

    Hi all,

    I had a great weekend in DC!  I got in Fri afternoon, and we toured the Pentagon because FI has access due to his job.  Saturday we went biking and out to dinner and a wine bar with my MOH and another friend from high school.  Sunday we went to a shooting range for the first time ever and that was more fun that I thought it would be!  I always wanted to learn how to shoot, and I'm glad I did.  I just flew back in this morning and went straight to work!

    lindsay - you are making me feel like I should start calling florists, ugh... vibes that you sell your townhouse!

    Ash - I cant wait to see your pictures - I bet they will be fabulous.

    janice- your puppy is so cute!

    g - sorry pre-cana was bad... I really liked despicable me too

    Oh and jl - I am so sorry I didnt get ahold of you before I got to DC on Friday! I think we both had crazy weeks leading up to this weekend, but maybe next time :)

    Hello! We had a great weekend! Saturday we went down to the St Pattys day parade (my mom was in it!), met up with my mom afterwards, and then hit the casino! We were home early and ended up just relaxing the rest of the night. Sunday we ran a bunch of errands and cleaned the house. We did finalize the wording for our invitations and agreed on a font. I am doing a Michael's invitation kit, so I need to get on printing everything!

    Sarilynn - I hope you did call the salon about your experience. Like everyone said, that is unacceptable!

    G - stinks that your Pre-Cana was a waste. DF and I thought ours was pretty cool, though we'd pretty much talked about all the issues they brought up, but it was nice to just reflect on certain things again. ALSO LOVE playing with puppies! So fun!

    lindsay - T&Ps sent your way!!

    ash - woohoo for your wedding pics being ready soon! so quick!

    md - glad to hear you had fun in DC!

    Hello ladies,

    I have been super MIA lately, hopefully this week I can be back. We had a big conference last week, so I was preoccupied with that.

    Wedding stuff is moving along. We should have our invites in the next few days, as I am already late in sending them out. :(

    I tell ya, I have been stalking my registry like crazy!

    MD- I'm so sorry I missed you too! Last week was insane.

    The only item I will not compromise on...my bouquet of all purple tulips wrapped in a swatch from my Mom's wedding dress.

    Ash - Thanks.  We had sooo much fun with them.  Although, the zoo keeper said I was teasing them.  I thought they liked it.  Canines are playful pack creatures by nature.   Rob (my FI, is the video guy.  I have never had a you tube video of anything until we got together).  lol

    Lindsay - Good luck going to see the puppies.  I can't imagine life without Lola & Lacie.  Sending vibes your way too!
