Our Year!

Our Year!

It seems like, as soon as it turned 2009, all I can think about is the wedding.  Everytime I have a free moment my thoughts drift to what I still have to do, what I still have to buy, what projects I have yet to complete (or start).  Every free moment is spent searching online or updating my wedding excel workbook.  I’m loving every minute of it!  The  only thing I am sad thing is that I go back to work tomorrow, so I won’t be able to think about it AS much ;)

So what new things have I been up to this week?  Well I bought/made some gifts for the smallest members of our bridal party.  Im pretty sure that I have said in an earlier post that buying and making these gifts has been one of my favorite projects so far, and this still holds true!  I have also begun designing our wedding programs.  Upon doing this I realized that we are going to need more paper because of everything I want included, so I went to order more paper from my favorite paper site when I found the coolest address stamps ever!  I had found stickers similar to them before that I was going to use for our invitations, however they were to much money to justify it…but since these stamp pads will be good forever Rob & I picked one and we bought that too!  The best thing about it is that they are running a sale right now!  15% off everything in the store!  Things couldn’t have been better.

Rob also came up with an idea that I fell IN LOVE with for the tables at the reception!  We were driving to his parents house on Thursday and I was asking for his help on how I could easily get all of the pictures that our guests take at the wedding without having them burn CD’s.  His idea was fantastic, but I don’t want to share it on the website and ruin the surprise.  Plus Im not positive that we can pull it off since I have never heard of anyone doing it before…but you all will just have to wait and be surprised!

The last big thing that I accomplished in these last 4 days (I told you I have been busy) happened while shopping with my mom for her dress for the wedding (which she found and look beautiful in!).  We were at the mall and walked into Yankee candle shop because they were having a big after christmas sale.  Up by the register was a rack of random things that were marked down 75% off and there I found them…the exact vases that I had wanted for the centerpieces at the reception!  They were priced at the exact amount I wanted to pay!  I could not believe it…it was obviously meant to be! So I purchased 10 of them, enough to fill a third of the tables.  We will be doing different centerpieces at different tables, so I plan to go with my anut to a craft warehouse store where I have heard I can get the rest.  I will keep you posted!

I warned you this is all I have been thinking about!  Im sure I will begin to update more often as thing begin to come together!  I am finally starting to get excited about the wedding again since it is so close!  I can’t wait for all of the festivities to begin :)
