Getting Stuff Done!!!

We had a very busy birthday weekend! Saturday morning we took the Engagement pictures. The weather was perfect!! Freezing cold but sunny and dry! They should be in the mail to me by Wednesday so hopefully by the weekend I can post some of them! We love our photographer and it was actually painless for Andy! Then we met with the catering company that we will probably go with. We have one or two more options but we have decide by the end of the week so it will probably be the one we met with. We are really happy with all of the services she can provide for us. Still more, we also met with the DJ on Saturday. The guy was really nice and seemed to understand the feel that we were going for. Andy was able to talk him down in his price some (thank you for his business degree :)) and I will drop off the deposit in the mail tomorrow! I am so excited to be checking things off of the massive list I have!

New look... same good taste

Just decided that things could use a little pick me up around here! It may be a day or two before I have time to get things set back to normal but procrastinating homework to change the background has now come to an end. Enjoy!

Sunny Days


I was starting to get nervous because the weather forecast was saying that it was going to be sunny Monday through Friday and then rain on Saturday when we were supposed to be doing e- pictures. So I've been checking compulsively and finally today....... the sun is shinning! The 10 day forecast has all suns! 67 degree high and only a 20 percent chance of rain! Just wanted to share my excitement! You bet that I will still be checking it every day to make sure that nothing changes!

I Hate Technology!


Just wanted to share my frustrations..... I was supposed to start printing all of the invites last week so that I could slowly start working on them but instead my printer decides to hate me. I promise you that my printer was working one day and the next day just decided to stop working. Why? I have no idea. Now I don't know what to do in order to get the printer to work again. I've tried going to HP's website and chatting with a tech person but what they told me still didn't work!! I guess my last option is to take it to kinkos or staples and have them printed which will probably cost less than $5 but it's still frustrating!! I just wanted to share....

Engagement Pictures


We are now scheduled to do our engagement pictures on October 11th!! I am so excited I can't even contain myself! Our photographer is amazing and suggested doing the pictures at Eden Vale Winery which is connected to Eden Valley Orchards which is where I originally wanted to have the wedding (but it is outrageously priced!). I couldn't think of a more beautiful place to have them done at! This also means that we will be in the rogue valley for the weekend of the 11th and 12th, mainly to celebrate my b-day, just a heads up for the people who live down there. Thought I would share the excitement!

UGH!

Remember how in my last post I said that I was going to type the EXACT wording that was on the invites? Well I didn't. I have no idea how I missed the fact that we were not using that wording at all. This is why I need you guys. I promise that this time it actually is the EXACT :) wording that we will be using. Does this still loook right?

Invites and Blogs

Update #1: As part of a class on Technology we are required to create a website and a blog through the Pacific website and I wanted to let all of you know what the address was for that one. Mainly it will be experiences from my student teaching but could include more as things flow. Anyway it's just one more way for you guys to keep updated on what is going on up here! The website is not up and running yet but the blog is: http://fg.ed.pacificu.edu/users/wall9376/


Update #2: It's time for some editing!!! I have finally found a stencil that I really like for the invitations and plan on buying all of the paper for them this weekend. I'm starting this super early because it is going to take a super long time to make so many of them! My plan is to work on 4 or 5 a week and maybe a ton in one weekend if I ever find the time. However, knowing me and my spelling and grammatical blunders..... I want to make sure that everything is perfect before I print them all. So I've added the pictures that I've taken of them and will copy and paste the exact wording that I am using. Some of it is specific format that I have found is what you are supposed to do on invites but for anything else please be SUPER critical of them. I want to make sure they look perfect!

The font that our names are in:

I think that you can see the flowers better in this one than the last one:

The entire invitation, the paper used in this one is not what the actual paper will look like but will have these same colors:

The exact wording that I used:
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wallace and Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Lynch
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their children
