Monday Check In!

Happy Monday ladies!  = )

Anything WR/NWR completed over the weekend?

WR:  Finished all of our wedding thank you cards last night!!  Such a great feeling to have that done!  Going to drop them in the mail today, after work!  = )

NWR: H & I went up to the cabin for duck opener & had a great weekend.  Here's a picture of our view from the duck blind on opening morning!  So pretty!!  = )



Other then that, I read & relaxed a lot & tried to get over my cold.  It's still lingering, but slowly getting better!

    WR: Started printing the programs and will hopefully get a good portion of that done this week. Met with the priest on Sunday and went over everything and everything is finalized for the ceremony. Picked up our chair covers that we are renting from  a mutual friend for a very cheap price. Attended a one of my college friends wedding. It was beautiful and makes me even more excited for my own.

    NWR: Finished my first piece of furniture re-do. Bought a table off Craigs.list and I painted, distressed and made it so much better than it was. I'm so proud and can't wait to post on my blog for all to see :)

    WR: Got possible "reception" shoes in the mail this weekend. Not sure about them, but they are cute and comfy.

    NWR:  Well this is wedding related just not for my wedding. I attended TWO weddings this weekend! SO much fun but really exhausting! The first wedding was Friday night and my FI was an usher in that one. It was outdoors and beautiful. We enjoyed the night with a few drinks and dancing.

    Then the next day I had my cousins wedding and I was her personal attendant. That was also a lot of fun, just kept me really busy. Two beautiful weddings in one weekend was a great way to spend my weekend!

    Here is a pic of my cousin and I as I am holding her train off of the floor. :)

    NWR: I went to my cousin's wedding this weekend and had a lot of fun!

    This looks like you were at the Links at Northfork? How did it go? I am getting married there in um, 12 days.

    WR: I wrote out all names and table#s so I can print out placecards today. I wrapped my Bridesmaids gifts. I meant to do more. haha oh well!

    NWR: I went to my BMs house for quilting time on Saturday (she needs help, is learning how to make a t-shirt quilt) and she along with two other friends threw me a mini bridal shower/bachelorette party (it was having an identitiy crisis haha)
    So that was pretty fun.

     FI had his bachelor party Sat night and came home Sunday still drunk. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-surprised.gif" border="0" alt="Surprised" title="Surprised" /> My brothers were awesome and came down from Grand Forks for it, so I cooked them all spaghetti and meatballs on Sunday for the Vikes game.

    WR: I had my bachelorette party on Saturday night and certainly realized that I am too old to drink that much! But we had such an amazing time! It was filled with dinner, bowling, a personal party (with toys, lotions etc), then the rest of the night we drank played games, a human pyramid was made at one point, we colored and finally passed out around 3:30am! Yesterday I had my final bridal shower which was great! It was for 'my side' of the family/friends and it was great to see all of the people who have been around while I was growing up! The neighborhood moms were back together and chatting like it was about in the 90's again!
    I feel so completely blessed by everything that happened on Saturday and Sunday! I got nothing done on my to-do list, but it isn't that long anyway! I'm not too worried!

    NWR: FI had to move down to his parent's house last night. He started a new job this morning so after all the great things that happened this weekend it was hard to say "see ya later" to him. I now just have a countdown to each weekend and the days right before the wedding because I know then that will be my last time "see ya later" with him before we move into our house together

    WR-Finished up all of my thank you notes from my shower.  Mailed extra dress fabric to my florist for wrapping my bouquet.  Then yesterday I went down to visit my parents and my Mom and I started working on the seating chart and talking through all of the logistics of the wedding weekend.  As an added bonus my Dad modeled his tuxedo jacket and vest for us, he is so proud of it and it is absolutely adorable.  I also did drive by the venue on my way back to the Cities just to see it...couldn't help myself ;)

    NWR-Perhaps this really is WR, but we had some of our neighbors over Saturday night to hang out and try out some signature cocktail recipes.  Hum, I think we may just scrap the idea it is just too hard to please everyone.  I'm pretty good at dropping projects these days!

    WR: We finished up registering at BBB and Wililams-Sonoma. So excited to start registry stalking now (hehehehe). I also went shopping with my MOH for her dress, but we didn't have too much luck (will probably just end up ordering something from J. Crew or Ann Taylor). We had dinner at Salut aferwards with this amazing banana bread pudding...mmm....

    NWR: I got a massage on Sunday and then started reading Tina Fey's book Bossypants - absolutely hilarious.
