Tisk Task Tuesday

Countdown: 25 days!!!!!!!

Time to get down to the nitty gritty! We've officially past the month mark and now is time for the tiny details that go into planning a wedding. Last week Joey and I ordered our gifts for the guys in the wedding party. We bought personalized shot glasses for the groomsmen and personalized bats for the ring bearer and ushers since they aren't old enough to drink and they LOVE baseball.

This past Saturday we had our food tasting at the venue and finalized the timeline for the day of. We decided on the classic ceasar salad followed by the grilled chicken breast topped with a red wine mushroom sauce alongside creamy mashed potatoes and gravy and the green bean medley. The food was suprisingly amazing. I think everyone will enjoy.

This weekend Joey has his bachelor party which Im sure he's excited about. That same day we have our last dress fitting and the bridesmaids get their dresses. Mine will still need some finishing touches but will hopefully get mine next week. Also this weekend I have a makeup trial appointment with a friend of my cousin who has offered to do our makeup. Im going for something natural and light. Here is a pic of the look i'm going for.

What do you think?

Next Monday, Joey and I are going to apply for our marriage licence. I will try to take some pics. Well that's all for now ladies. I will keep you posted next week!

Monday Mantra

This week I am glad that it is a four day work week!

I believe that you should hire a wedding planner instead of planning your own wedding.

I'm really really addicted Sons of Anarchy.

I hope that I love the way my wedding dress looks since I havent seen it yet.

I'm jealous of anyone who is not planning a wedding right now.

Tisk Task Tuesday

Countdown: 32 days!!!!!!!!!

We are right there at the month mark and I can't be more excited!!!!!!!!! We are sooo close I can almost see it. Last week while I was off of work for Spring Break I went to visit my nieces and while I was there I found the perfect head pieces for my flower girls. It is a bobby pin with a flower that matches their dress to the T.

This coming Saturday we have our tasting at the wedding location and to figure out the set up for everything. I'm really excited about this. We are having a sit down dinner and have chosen some kind of chicken dinner for the entree. We will be tasting two kinds to see which we like the best.

Next I need to schedule a makeup trial and order gifts for the rest of our wedding party. The countdown is on and I will be pretty busy from now until the wedding. I have never been more ready for anything than I am to marry Joey!

Monday Mantra

This week I am actually glad to be back at work.

I believe that too much time on your hands isn't good for you.

I'm addicted to staying busy.

I wish that Joey gets another job soon.

I'm jealous of people who like to workout.

Soundtrack/Mantra for the week Dont have one.

First ever Post-It Tuesday

 

Blue Monday

Today really is a blue Monday for me. Not only is it rainy and ugly here in Houston today but we found out this weekend that Joey's company is closing. He has worked for this company since he was 16 years old. This was his first job and hes never worked any where else in the past 8 years. He worked his way up to becoming the manager of his store for the past couple of years and did a wonderful job.

Unfortunately the company as a whole has not been making a profit for sometime now and because they are a retail store that sells movies and video games people just arent able to spend what they used to. We've known this was going to happen for a little while now and just wasn't sure exactly when. They start liquidating his store on Wednesday and he will have about 6 more weeks of working there.  So pretty much right around the time of our wedding, he will not have a job.

This couldn't have came at the worst possible time as most if not all of our money is tied up in our wedding and honeymoon. Joey thought it would be best if we didn't go on our honeymoon but I convinced him that if we don't go now we will probably never be able to again or at least for not a long time. We will just not be able to do everything we wanted to do while we are there.

I know that we will get through this because we have gotten through so much in the last 7 years that we've been together. I am very lucky to have such a smart and amazing fiance who wants to provide for me and protect me no matter what. I know that this will bring new and better things for us. I just hope its sooner rather than later.

Half Full Friday (3.5.10)

I am happy that I get a half day at work today!

I am happy that I finished putting together our place cards for the wedding!

I am sooo happy that I received a lovely card in the mail, yes in the mail, from Eyegirl yesterday! (Be on the look out for something in return :) )

I am happy that tomorrow I get to try on my wedding dress for the first tomorrow!

I am happy that my my organization was recoginized by President Obama in his speech this week.

Tisk-Task Tuesday

Countdown: 53 days!!!

This weekend I worked on my place cards! The place cards that came with my place card frames was not working for me. The lines weren't long enough for me to put names of couples and families so I went off to Staples and bought business cards. They fit perfectly! They look really nice and elegant.

This weekend I went looking for gifts for my 4 yes 4 flower girls. I have these white with blue easter baskets that we were gonna use for flower girl baskets when we were gonna do an outside wedding. Then everything changed and I though I would keep them and put some fun stuff in there and give to the flower girls and their gift. Yesterday I was looking online and found this Flower Girl A to Z Book. My flower girls are 6-9 years old.  I think they will like reading about what a flower girl is supposed to do.

This weekend I have my first dress fitting and this is the first time im actually seeing my dress since I'm getting it made. I am uber nervous! Nervous about the dress looking like I want it to look and then nervous because I HAVENT lost any weight and hope that my dress fits me.  I've been really down on myself lately because I just let myself go. You would think I would be more motivated than every to loose weight but I just keep making excuses. And now I really dont know what to do.

My programs should be coming in this week hopefully and I can't wait to see what they look like.

Well wish me luck for my dress fitting and Ill have an update next week!

Monday Mantra 3.1.10

This week I will be stressing about my dress fitting on Saturday.

I believe that everything happens for a reason.

I'm addicted to food and sweets in general!

I wish that I was taller and thiner.

I'm jealous of anyone who has a high metabolism and can eat anything they want with gaining weight.
