on my way!

So after a few referrals I have had a couple of people interested. So excited!

Just did my daughters b-day she turned 9. We had it at a hotel with 2 bedrooms kitchen and living room. It was nice I got to set up a small candy buffet for all the girls and they loved it!! The only snag was they didn't have the room available for us on the time we reserved it. Oh man I was so mad I insisted it was ready @5 and she got it done quickly. And I got a discount!! At least I set up the room in 30 minutes and had enough time to relax before the chaos started. It went so well.

freakout today

Can you believe the makoy center called and changed my tables of 8 to tables of 10. Whatever but them i couldn't find the list of names. Total freak out today yelling at everything. Thinking jenny who was writing the names on the cards already done them. thank god she didn't start yet now waiting on the emailed names so I can figure this all out. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh kill me now

sooo 3 dayz to go!!!

Well on the last stretch! Yesterday got Shanna's dress ironed and my girls dresses ironed. And today getting things for the kids table. Im so stressed right now I started a time line for Kara and instant headache. Today dragging punky around getting so errands done hopefully I can get most of what I need done today. Id say today now I'm a little scared omg!!!!!

9 days!!!!!

So 9 days to go !!! I'm so excited and worried, worried about the unknown. but on a good note my bro is coming in tomorrow night so excited bout that. Maybe I'll see if I can go to Rachel's after Brian gets off tomorrow and wait for him/sleep peacefully. not much left to do waiting for dad to figure out a song for us and Ryan needs his pant hemmed other that that just the time lines n shit!! I just realized this post sucks lol:(

2 weeks and one day to go!!!

Wow I'm so excited its almost here! But I'm very calm weird lol! So everything is falling into place and I'm just about ready! Still need some music done but I have been working on it. Need to get Ryan's pants hemmed and go get stuff for the kids tables and i think that's about it. Surprised I have that much done prob why I'm not freaking out. Just little annoying things like grooms gifts, dads gifts, send out names to jenny the calligraphist/ stepmom, timing for photographer, groom, me, socks for Ryan. We have a dry erase board in our kitchen and these two weeks are just jammed packed with appointments thing to do etc. So I'm super busy and it sucks I should have taken more time off of work I think 3 days before is not enough time. Well thats all Ive got lol

WHY NOW???

So we are redoing our kitchen this weekend. Why when we only have 22 days left till the wedding I have no Idea but Brian loves this kinda stuff he gets so proud of himself. We have already painted the cabinets and we took down the horrible wallpaper I swear form the 70's when they used the nastiest glue ever. We tore down the part above the cabinets (drywall) so now we have like a shelf above the cabinets now pretty cool. Now I need to find cool stuff to put up there so it looks nice. As I'm writing Brian is getting the paint and shit. So hopefully we can have it done by this weekend and I'll have pics up soon.
Yesterday we went to get our marriage licence and as soon as we got there on the 23rd floor a fire drill happens..... sucks so hundreds of people are outside waiting to go back in and through metal detectors. So if that's a sign too bad lol. So we went to the back of the building and went through there and the line was very short so we got lucky lol. Well that's off the list and I bought Ryan's tux yesterday also had my finale dress fitting and got the dress finally so excited!! I need to lose about 5 lbs I swear wtf cause I cant breath so instead of altering the dress more I will have to alter myself lol. And the music is coming along so fingers crossed it goes well.

25 days

So had my bridal shower last sat. it was fun!! Got lots of gift cards and a few prezzies.

Life is stressful at the moment I think the tension is flowing throughout out the house like the swine flu lol. Hopefully that will pass. Tomorrow we go get our marriage license but my ID is expired wonder if that will matter? I better call and see I don't want to get a new one cause I will be changing my name very soon.

Still a few thing left to do play lists it stressful because of the timing and all and Ryan tux I am currently bidding on one @ebay so hopefully I win and a bachelorett party dress which is very cute if I win I will need to buy black heals how do I not have black heel is beyond me lol. I need my pics for the table tops ( already ordered just waiting to put them in the frames) But other than that everything is a go.

33 days and counting

So went on sat. to get hair and makeup trial. It was great my hair turned out greater than I had thought. She did an amazing job just out of two pics I had brought so excited but before I could take even the slightest pic she took it down weird huh? then it was off to do my makeup while rach got her nails did. I honestly had no idea how i wanted to do my makeup but she talked me thought it and we came up something great. And I didnt add the individual lashes yet just will wait for the day of. We (as in rach and I) thought that it needed something else but when I went home Brian loved it so I'm sticking with that look.

33 days and counting so closes but so far away.

woooohooooooooo!!! (kinda)

36 days to go!!!!!!!!

So tomorrow I am getting my trial hair and makeup so excited!!!! And we (rach) are going to get Ryan his little tux hopefully i can find one that will kinda match everyone.

Today is the RSVP deadline but mail hasn't come yet I have 25 more people/12 cards who haven't which sucks how hard is it to mark we're coming and stick it in the mail already addressed and stamped. I spent alot of money/time on them wtf! So right now I have 79 people coming and 77 for the reception lets go people.

pic is how I kinda want my hair and my hair band. pics up soon to show you how it went!

So over it right now

So as my mother goes shes trying to invite more people again. I want to strangle her. I have no room for this AT ALL. Then she tells me shes not going to my shower or the rehearsal dinner, what the fuck. Just because she doesn't get along with some people shes not coming but she wants to invite more people so over her and her fucking drama really. Then all the maybes that I'm getting are stupid I need a yes or no so I'm not left paying for people who are not there !!!
Then Brian's dad wants to add someone else said he should have been invited but wasn't so here we go.
But on another note makeup and hair trial is this sat cant wait hanging out with the rach all day will be a blast. And gives me a chance to wear my hair and makeup long before I have to destroy it so Brian wont see it lol.

in pain today

So went to the dentist today boooo. Got a root canal/crown and a filling sucks so bad sitting in the chair for 2 1/2 hours sucks! My mouth hurts and my head is killing.

So I'm doing the bridal shower invites today if I make it lol. And still need to do the rehearsal dinner invites. Just in a time crunch right now and it sucks wish I could take a week off from work and just be.

Pic of me and Brian awhile ago with my long hair why did I cut it then decide to get married lol GROW HAIR GROW !!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA

50 days to go!!!

Wow, its right around the corner and not so much to do! Brian's parents have planned the rehearsal dinner which is cool! So just need to start the invites to that which wont be as hard as the wedding invites **thank goodness**. Still need to do the playlists, I Begin to think that they will just magically appear on my computer lol yeah I can dream hahaha! And its almost time for people i haven't seen in a while to come like my bff in the whole wide world Shanna aka Lily

*pic above @her wedding* And my brother who lives in N.D. hes coming for like week!!!!!!

2nd fitting turned into another one

So I went to my 2nd fitting after being with my sick son all day. Things went okay I found Out that I have gained a couple of pounds which is fine cause I'm super skinny. But my dress didn't fit right so instead of getting it fixed I need to lose a couple lol. So i added more tie ups to the bustle so it wouldn't drag on the sides. I'm so excited it turned out so pretty but yet another appointment I have to go to :( but hope you like the pics I'm hott!! lol (dont mind the bow its not tied right)

2 months to go!

But I did get the card box almost finished jut need some ribbon for the slit. and got my wooden loves done which I'm not sure where they will go but I love them!!! Hopefully my hair wont all fall out by the time my trial comes along lol! Wish me luck.

zoo

So on Friday fmil, kids and I went to the Columbus zoo. After many delays we got there with about 2hrs to see what we could (miya was coming home @2:00). So we went past the elephants and see two more in another area. And one was laying on the ground and the other one standing over the one on the ground. So after a couple of minutes of trying to figure out what was going on a lady that worked there told us. The elephant that was laying on the ground was prego and about to have her baby. So crazy! But we only had little time to catch a few more animals so off we went. When I get home I here the elephant had the baby @2:34 the things I miss i swear.

66 days to go!

So things are coming together besides the flowers. I'm just stumped on what to have in them. I keep going to look at flowers but i just cant find what I want. I was thinking lily of the valley but they are so expensive. And I don't want to go and have someone make them. Just another stressful thing I have to worry about.
But in other news I did get something done off the list

• got speakers and mic


• sent ring to be sized


• asked bff for toast she was most pleased

and that's all, loveys ring is in so I might swing in to the mall and see if I can find some undies and maybe something for the wedding night!!! And I did start doing play lists but was kinda bored with that. My dress should be done sometime soon Ill have to look and see when that is. Hair trial is on April 25Th and my ring will probley be in on this Friday. So it coming together.

that's all i got right now

A list for this weekend

So as been putting things off this week I need to do a list and get stuff done. As I have lost my big list of everything to do. So here goes

• buy speakers and mic



• finish up card box



• shop around for flower prices



• go get my ring sized AGAIN



• get playlist done *yes still not done



• ask my bff if she will give a toast -she introduced us!



• get things for kids table



• go find cute undies for wedding day

Its been a lazy week but we did go and get his ring resized. But that's about it. I just wish I could have everything ready. I thought that I was on top of everything and everything was good. But all this little stuff is driving me crazy. So hopefully going out on Saturday will chill me out.

No not again!!

So I went to pick up loveys ring on Sunday from getting sized and guess what, it doesn't fit. AAAAAhhhhh so what i needed so now we have to go back up there again. I mean really first my ring didn't fit now his whats wrong with these people. I'm over it.

And on another note of "no not again" I got back another invitation that was wrong. That's like the 3rd one. I should have just paid someone to do them *makes mental note for next time

So if ya haven't got one yet its on its way.

The guest list

So why now of all times dose my mother decide to add people to my guest list after I have sent them all out and have nothing left to make more? The whole drama of her saying shes not coming because certain people will be there she doesn't care for. "It's not my cup of tea" yeah I know.

Now I have to go spend more money on these invites that took me so long to make and we're so frustrating "Oh just write it on a piece of paper" right that's appropriate mom, gaaahhh!

So only a couple of people on "her" list made it. Now I have to wait on my RSVPs to come in to see if anyone declines to see if I can fit more. Okay rant over

flower flower flowers

So I'm going the DIY route for my flowers and the bridesmaids and boots for the gents.

So maybe today I'll head on over to the craft store and go get some flowers to practice. Well mainly to see if I can do it my self with out fuc*** it up. Wish me luck! I'll need it lol! I'll post pics soon

2 months 17 days

But I did get Brian to go to get his tux picked out. hes wearin watermelon to match my sash. I'm sure the lady kinda talked him into it, but he tells me he likes it lol.
