well on our way....

well, these few weeks have been a SERIOUS blur. we finally have our catering in check. we are truly blessed with who we know and how much our family loves us :) this catering wouldn't have happened if dan didn't have a loving brother who wanted us to have a great reception :)
I also found and got my wedding dress as well. beautiful, graceful and vintage. just how I pictured it. I had gone out to Fremont with a few of my beautiful bridesmaids. we intentionally wanted to make it out to the bridal show held out in seattle but heard from a friend of ours that the wait at the ticket line was ridiculous so we decided to scope out a few things of our own. we stopped into a few vintage shops, grabbed a bite to eat and had one last stop at this vintage store. i tried on this beautiful cotton 70's gown and was set on getting it, altering it and making it my own. while we were checking out, there was a rack behind the checkout counter and there was a piece of fabric peeking out of the plethora of newly admitted clothes on the rack. i asked to see what that was and she brought it out and it SERIOUSLY felt like angels were just about to sing. :) nevertheless, we got the dress and she made her repairs and I feel like Grace Kelly.

dan has been busy making his pipeline for his new job and he loves it. he gets to be downtown seattle everyday and meet new people. he loves to walk downtown and see whats going on around him. very much a city boy at heart. i am so happy for him to have a job that he thoroughly enjoys and he is so much happier everyday in general :) oh how i love him so much.

insomnia and unemployment

Well fellow bloggers! Here we are. We now have our wedding invitations on its way to finalization, thanks to Miss Whitney (whom I highly recommend when it comes to paper art. She is so good!) We are going with a bird theme for the wedding and I am so happy with the results so far. I am planning to have a craft party at the end of the month to get some decorations and party favors out of the way. I mean, the wedding is in less than five months!!!!
The kids had their week back at school so that gave us some time back during the day to get a few things knocked out. Tomorrow I am meeting with a couple of my bridesmaids and we are going to start planning the two parties, bridal shower and my BACHELORETTE! I am so excited! But I can tell you?...I am also a little frightened. ;) okay not really but still.

We are on our way to normalcy though. We just had a meeting at Dean's school for FAFSA. Yay for free money! Now we have a meeting for Miss Maddy on Monday just for normal check in about her progress. Collin and Maddy have started their rehearsals and it sounds like I will be helping out with choreography. I'm excited about that!! Devin, of course, got a couple new Webkinz and they are two dogs. He named them the most absolute cutest names ever.....Cocker-Daniel (cockerspaniel) and Lei-Poodle (poodle). He had to make them a couple of course. :) Logan is back on schedule for hitting practice. Omaha will creep up and be here before you know it!

I guess its now time to crawl into bed and catch some shuteye. To be continued...good night.
