Talk Big Thursday

mpickl · November 2012

What do you have to AW about this week?

BostonGIrl4732 · November 2012

Well, I didn't go all hulk in a meeting so I give myself lots of credit for that. I can't wait for this project to be over...

I'm buying a new car. I'm proud of myself for getting on it and figuring out what I want! And we're booking our honeymoon probably next week (on the next credit card statement). Yay!

I have a lot today!

Finally ordered or STDs! So happy we ended up going with the alternate picture. I'm also proud because I had accidently ordered the wrong size envelopes here at work a few months ago for the office and my office manager just told me to take them and they fit the STDs perfect! I already typed all the labels and bought them so I am gonna print them out the next few days and label all the envelopes so all I have to do is stuff the STDs in them when they come!

I also got a helluva deal on frames for the wedding on Black Friday and fianally picked a main font for the table numbers and the word "menu" for the top of the menus! We will print on blush paper but I have to print it to kinkos since my HP little at home printer coudn't handle it. I also bought a stamp that I am using on the invites that I will stamp the corner with of these guys.

We bought my wedding band, too!

<div>I really want a Honda CRV. I learned how to drive in a SUV and I'm used to them, but I've been driving a sedan for the last nine years. So I'm trying to get the best of both worlds and before we get pounded with snow this winter.</div>

Today I have to aww my FI. He is just so great, helping out on every step of the way with helpfull comments and ideas. He is way more involoved in this planning thing then I expected him to be and I love it

He is also just great in general. Today at the gym he looked at me and said: "I really dont think you need to lose any more weight. You look great, and your muscles are even starting to show". Have to admit that made me feel good

Congrats on all your things done Ellie! What does your weddingband look like?

Congrats on the car Bostongirl

That must feel great!!

Hope you guys have a good Thursday.

I've had a Santa Fe for years which is the same size-ish as the CRV and I love it! I drive FI's car daily because it is amazing on gas milage, but we love Hyundai. The new ones are awesome! Also, YGPM.

Aw that is awesome! I'm glad your FI is being so good with the wedding! It helps alot! My band matches my e-ring perfectly but it an eternity band and my ring is about 3/4 of the way around! I love it! Here are just some crappy pics I took at the jeweler...I'll post some better ones when my actual band comes in!

We finally sat down and finished our guest list!!! I kind of regret doing it, because we added 40 more people so it grew to 182!!! Oh, well! At least we can be a little more realistic about pricing other things out now.

We got 2 quotes for tents, tables, chairs, etc. from online... there are only 2 to 3 places to choose from anyway! I just have to force myself to take the time to call and book one!

I also called my photog this week, I was a little frustrated after sending 2 emails and never hearing back from them... but they said my epics will be done next week!!! YAYYYY

Lastly, I had an awesome phone interview yesterday for something that just kinda came my way out of sheer coincidence and if I got it, could nearly double my income! Trying not to get my hopes up since it's a long shot and there would be at least 3 more interviews to go through if this went like I'm hoping it did!!!

@ellie- love the pearl frame!

<div>@ellie, we have nearly the same engagement ring! I want something similar for a band as well <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" title="Cool" /></div>

I am going to AW that I made it to the gym every single day this week so far and I also went alot in the last few weeks...finally getting some motivation b/c my dress should be in, in December!!!

I am also going to AW things that I did not expect to get done this week but did: Booked chair covers and a hairdresser (after going to 5 other ppl first, all of which were already booked-yikes) !!!

Ellie- love the band!!!
Boston- that is so fun that you are getting a new car! Christmas present to yourself?! haha

I started getting texts from friends who've received their STDs and are excited about the wedding! It was nice because I wasn't expecting a response. I was all like, "I'm going to wait until January to send them out..." And then they arrived and I sent them all within a week!

Also we are going to Whistler for the weekend...have never been...first bit of skiing of the year...woohoo! And my home ski hill opens today!

Twinsies! I think the matching bands look the best! I tried on a band with slightly bigger diamonds and it dwarfed my center. Our setting style is perfect for making sure the band sits flush with the ering!

My venue apparently was going into the red, but thankfully this other company took it over. I'm thankful because I don't have wedding insurance and I don't know if there are any other venues in the city that I like

They are going to honor the previous price per person and person minimum and it sounds like the package will be better. 6 hour reception, ice sculpture, more hors d'oeuvres, 1 extra entree, a crepe station or a chocolate fountain (I'm super torn about this one... they both sound so yummy). The rest will pretty much remain the same. But they are taking away the tasting (which i was really looking forward too).

They also include linens, which is a bummer because I just bought some from the knot... so now I have to sell them or figure out a way to use them.
