Let's hear your AW's!

I found out last night that FI's sister is pregnant. So I'm going to be an auntie! I'm so excited but we're not supposed to know yet, his mom accidentally let it slip, so I can't say anything to her. They're waiting until the end of the month to tell people so I'm assuming that's the end of her 1st trimester. I can't wait for a little niece or nephew. And I have to admit between her and my good friend who is due in September I've got a touch of baby fever.

I think my AW is just to brag about an amazing weekend. I was out on the boat first FIs brothers then his parents basically all weekend and I got a little tan and good food and enjoyed the awesome weather. I sure hope this same weekend next year is just as beautiful!

I've had this idea to match my table numbers with pictures of FI and I at the age of the table (Table 1, 1 year old picture, etc.) I found all my pictures, just need to get FI's together. But while at Marshalls on Thursday, I was waiting on the line and I found these cute glass frames that are 2 sided and spin! I thought they'd be perfect for my idea, so I bought jujst one to test it out. I love that people on all sides of the table will have the chance to see the pics we picked. So I went back to the same store to buy more, and they were all sold! They are only $4-$5 at this store, and online through the manufacturer, they are $25! So my mom and I drove to 5 different Marshalls and Home Goods stores and bought all we could find. I am up to 15, need 3-5 more. There are 2 more stores I can try today, so hopefully they have some.

My LO got two more teeth this weekend...he is poping them out like CRAZY! He has six now. My baby isn't looking like a baby anymore but starting to look like a little kid

Morning Ladies!

Happy Monday.

Nothing really to AW here, but I thought I'd pop in and say hiiii. Hope you all had a great weekend.

Bar - Grats on becoming a future auntie!

Ash - Sounds like a great weekend you had!

Rmp - Hope you find the remaining frames!! Post some pics as well, I'd love to see them. I saw that idea on pinterest the other day and pinned it as I thought it was cute. I don't know if I or FI would have alot of photos so I'd have to see lol. We've also thought about naming the tables with Romantic movies (plays on our venue as well) and would tie into the "Happily Ever After" theme we've been toying with.

MrsK - Woots! Grats to your FI and his team

Mandi- Awww, they do group up soooo fast! I look at my nephew (who is 6 now) and think where has the time gone? It was like last month he was born and I was pacing the hospital hallways waiting for his arrival!!! Enjoy it!

I finally got all of our flower beds and pots planted yesterday!! When we bought our house last fall, everything was starting to die off, so I had to wait until everything came up again this year to see what was planted everywhere before I started putting new stuff in. My mom dug up one of her gardens and gave me a bunch of the perennials she pulled out (daylilies, gladiolus, coneflowers, and daisies), so I was able to use those to fill in all of the empty spots in our flower beds. Our house was built over 100 years ago, and about two feet of the original chimney is still standing on the one side, so I turned that into a flower bed as well, which I think will look really neat. I like the idea that years from now, I'll be able to say that some of the flowers around our house came from my parents' house.

FI and I had company this weekend so nothing too exciting going on. We have a lot of summer birthdays and anniversaries so we've been busy with that. Saturday, my grandparents will celebrate their 50th, and next Tuesday is my parents' 30th.

My personal AW is totally WR, but I can't bring myself to wait until Wednesday to share. We booked our venue on Friday (our 1 year mark)!!! If you're curious/bored at work, go check it out at www.walkersbluff.com . We aren't exactly sure what venue on the property we're going to use yet, but we're learning towards the Wine Cave for the ceremony and the Tasting Room for the reception. My mom's stepsister owns this winery so I have a slight connection and should get catered to a little more than usual here. I'm so excited to have it booked!

emilyb213 · June 2012

That venue is beautiful!! I love the idea of doing the ceremony in the wine cave space...would you guys stand in the middle? That would be amazing to have your guests all around you.

And MrsK, ohmigosh, congrats about the house!! Fingers crossed that this is it for you guys, I know you've been dying to get out of your parents' place because of the chaos there.

cnf2013 · June 2012

Ferg, congrats on finding a venue finally!

MrsK, yay to your house! Do you have a definitive closing date yet? Being a homeowner is definitely one of the best decision I've ever made I feel like. We don't live quite a lavishly anymore, but I think it's worth it.

My AW isn't much. I have to work a crap load of overtime this week. But because of it I can flex it into my schedule for next week and it looks like I'll be getting a four day weekend out of it. So I'll suck it up for now, haha.

anastassiiat · June 2012

MrsK, glad you guys are closing on the house soon!

Ferg, love the venue, so pretty!

My AW is that FI and I have completed our Warrior Dash 5K in about 45 minutes, since we both haven't been exercising that much lately our goal was to do it under 1 hour, so we are pretty proud of ourselves!

FI would have probably even finished faster, but he was kind enough to keep up with my super slow jog/wak during the last mile or so. haha

kellyeliz · June 2012

I feel like I have been MIA from the boards for awhile because I have been so busy! I'm still trying to catch up on everything!

I think FI and I have finally decided on a honeymoon and plan to book soon! If we book before June 29th we get almost 50% off! We will be heading to Couples Swept Away in Jamaica! I'm so excited!

Congrats!!! That looks really neat!

belle7fl · June 2012

Mrsk congrats on the new house! Ferg: Your venue looks awesome, very different from anything I've seen. Ana: Congrats on finishing the warrior dash, I heard there was actually a group of blind people that did it and a lot of my friends did it and are all banged up and bruised from it. I'd like to do one, I hear there's another one in September. I usually don't post on Mondays but I kinda have an aw this week. Yesterday I threw a surprise party for my FI. He thought we were having an engagement party but it was really to wish him luck at the Olympic tryouts next week. I had his whole family here which is huge and a little overwhelming but it was great to see his face when we brought out the cake that looked like a hammer circle and field with a hammer in the middle of it. He was so happy and thankful. Another aw is that he's outside watering the flowers that my sister planted on Saturday which are supposed to be my responsibility.

[QUOTE]kelly--I was looking at going to a Couples resort, I have not read one bad (or even mediocre) review on any of their resorts. Our problem is FI wants to go on our honeymoon in the fall or winter when it's cold here, and doing a Michigan honeymoon right after the wedding. Maybe I should talk him into early booking :) edit: cnf--no date yet, waiting again to hear from bank and mortgage company. but everything has been approved! and thanks everyone else for the well wishes, so excited to have a house!

I believe to get their honeymoon packages it has to be within 30 days... From what I can see the weather in early July is pretty hot but nice because it isn't busy... We are waiting until after the 4th to go :)

ktwed1 · June 2012

I don't have alot. After the horrendous work week last week my FI and I had a great weekend in San Antonio. Typically after I have inventory at work my FI takes me out of town for fun and relaxation and this past weekend was it. Bad news is he left today for Taiwan and will be gone for 10 days. It's not bad the first 5 days and than the last 5 pretty much drag. But he goes every 6 months so it could be worse.
