A Week!!

It's been a week since I've posted anything on here!! So sorry! I started a very reading intensive class this week and will probably not be doing much wedding related stuff until this class is done in two more weeks! This weekend is Duane and Joannas wedding in San Fran so I will make sure to tell everyone how it goes when we get back. Another non-wedding related update, I just found out my placements for student teaching. I will be in a 5th grade classroom at Heiton Elementary and a Kindergarten classroom in the private (brand new!) Pacific Early Learning Center! Very exciting!

Steal of a Deal!

I had lunch in town with Kaitlin today and on my way out decided to kill a little bit more time and stop by the Craft Warehouse. Turns out they were having a huge sale! I got this wonderful frame that is going to be our guest book for only $15!!! I had my heart set on one from Target but it was much smaller and over double the price. I love this one and it was much more budget friendly! We will need to buy a mat for it but then it's ready to store for a year!

Photographer

We met with our photographer this weekend! She was really nice and takes really amazing photographs. We have scheduled to do our engagement pictures sometime in October. Here is the link to her website if you want to check it out. http://www.impressionsphotograph.com/index.html
I also updated our website a bit so check it out if you have time! The next big tasks are to find food (!) and a DJ. Any recommendations??

Booked the Honeymoon


Yes this was the only part of the wedding that Andy was excited to help plan. Andy's grandparents have given us a week of their timeshare wherever we want to go and we chose Kihei, Maui! After a little bit of confusion it is officially booked.

Yeah!

It seems like everyone likes the bridesmaid dresses! Since only 1 out of the 4 of you got to try them on the plan is to order them and see how they look. Be honest, if you don't like it when you get it then we can go to a plan B, or plan C, all the way to Z if we need to. I want you all to be able to wear the dress for a long time so that it is worth the money. I found a coupon online that you can use to get %20 off. This website explains it, http://www.retailmenot.com/view/jcp.com . If you click on the coupon code it will open up a new JCP window and you can find the dress. Then proceed to check out. The coupon website also says that you can get $5 shipping if you give them a call and they change it for you. It's worth a try. Hopefully this works to get a good deal on them! Let me know if it works and especially when you get them!!! TeriAnn's should at mom's house this weekend so I will have her try it on and post pictures! So excited that this is all out of the way!




The monogram that if Andy likes we will be using. I found a website where I can have it made into a stamp and then we can use it on everything easily. I also found this cool way to make makes that show the important destinations for the wedding. I'm not sure if this is the final one yet or if it will be modified but it's a start. Just some of the things that I have spent the last few days working on.


NWR: My Kitchen-Aid!!







NWR is lingo (haha) for Non Wedding Related at the forum that I go to on the knot. Anyway.... I used my new Kitchen-Aid today!!! I took pictures of it in use and my finished product of homemade brownies and homemade frosting for the brownies! They taste very delicious!



Shoes!




Wouldn't it be so freakin cool if you all wore green (or maybe pink) shoes with your awesome black dresses? I think it would be adorable!

OK more seriously

What do you think of this dress?

It's at JcPenny's so everyone would be able to look at it. The only issue is that it's on sale now so they would probably need to be gotten sometime in the next month or so. Truly what do ya'll think?

Picked the Dresses!


After a long time of searching I think i've finally come up with the perfect dress for all of you to wear. The best part about it is you can shorten it and wear it again!


Save the Dates!


Here is the first mock-up of what the Save the Date cards are going to look like. I LOVE them! After looking through a million pink papers we have decided on a different paper for the flower and based on the envelope sizes they will need to be a little bit smaller width wise. We went to Michael's Craft Store on Sunday and got all of the paper needed so now it's just a matter of putting them all togehter. They won't even go out until January or so but I figure it's better make them now while I have time and put them in a box then worry about doing it later.

Websites from Kaitlin

Kaitlin passed on some websites that she found interesting and I thought I would pass them along to the rest of you. I'll try to add more updates as they come!
