Home Sweet Home

So we have finally closed on our house and are completely moved in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry haven't posted anything in a while, we have been totally busy. Not only did we move in this past week but we also had a death in Joey's family :(

We are excited to be moved in. We are pretty much all unpacked with only our books left and we need to get a bookcase before we can unpack those. So we got cable and internet put in yesterday and this time we went with AT&T Uverse instead of Comcast to see how we liked it. So far so good.

We also got our Fridge in today finally! Trying to get a fridge was such a hassle. First we ordered one online 2 weeks ago through Best Buy and it was supposed to be delivered on Friday. Well they called Thursday saying they couldn't deliver until Oct. 9! So needless to say I was furious and canceled our order. So we went to Sears Home Appliance Center by our house and the customer service was amazing! They delivered it just 2 days later! Thank you Sears!

Well here is a peak at what our kitchen looks like!

Thoughtful Thursday

So today's Thoughtful Thursday is not actually about our wedding but about our new home. Our new house should be totally completed today! The DAP people have their inspection tomorrow and our final inspection is on Monday. If all goes well we close on our new home next Friday!!!! Here is a pic of what it looks like.



I can not express to you how excited I am! We have been staying with Joey's grandmother since the end of June and I can not wait to have my own place again! I will post more pics next weekend after we get moved in!

Tisk Task Tuesday

Countdown: 228 days

This week I will be ordering my flower girl baskets and silk hydrangea flower petals. Also this week I have my meeting with my bridesmaids on Saturday to discuss our first dress fitting and bridal shower. That's really all I have on my to-do list this week.

Flourish Friday

So today is all about my flower girls! When Joey and I first got engaged, flower girl baskets were the first thing I purchased. Unfortunately at that time we were planning an outside wedding so around Easter time I had bought white whicker baskets.

But now our plans have changed. Our wedding is a lot more formal and is inside so my whicker baskets really no longer work. So I have been looking for the right basket that isn't too expensive because remind you I have 4 flower girls! So even if I found some for $20 it would cost me over $80 for flower girl baskets.

I happened to run across this basket on The Wedding Outlet. I absoultely love the pearl handles and the best thing is its only $8.95each! I showed Joey to see what he thought and he also loved it and thought it was very classy.



To go along with the flower girl baskets I also came across these white hydrangea flower girl petals on Advantage Bridal.com. They are perfect since my flowers are hydrangeas and tulips. And they are on sale for $9.95.

I will be purchasing these items next week! So exciting! Can't wait to show my flower girls!

Right now is a little slow on the wedding front. The only thing I am doing at the moment is getting ready for a Bridal Party Meeting that is taking place next Saturday. We will be deciding on a date to get measured for our dresses in October and discussing the bridal shower.

I do want to mention that I got a new bridesmaid recently! One of my bridesmaid had something unexpected come up and could no longer be a part of our big day so I got the chance to ask my college friend Katie who had been dying to be in our wedding. She will get to meet everyone else for the first time next week.

Joey and I will be registering for our gifts at the end of this month after we get moved into our house. I have started looking at invitations and ordered some samples. We will need to make a decision by the end of October as they need to be ordered in November. I am also still looking at flower girl baskets.

So just a lot of looking at the moment.

Blue Monday

I just love this idea of having blue hued champagne. If we were having alcohol at our wedding I would so do this.

Tisk Task Tuesday

Countdown: 242 days

I had a very productive wedding weekend. I bought the other three zippers I was looking for and I went to High Fashion and bought my bridal loops that I needed for my wedding dress. I also had my two appointments with florists this weekend and I went with my foster mom. We chose to go with Sarah's Florist for the flowers for the wedding party. Chuck was very helpful and gave us a lot of advice.

The groom, 7 groomsmen, 3 ushers and 1 ring bear will be wearing hydrangea boutonnieres. The bridesmaids will be carrying a "salad plate size" bouquet of blue hydrangeas and I will be carrying a "dinner plate size" bouquet of blue hydrangeas with about 15 white tulips. Just to let you know hydrangeas are not cheap nor are flowers for such a large wedding party.

We are really excited though and cant wait to see the final product. Just in case you were wondering our location the Ayva Center is doing the flowers for everything else.
