Registering
your input....
Oh my goodness its been crazy around here. I was able to put a quick post the other day up, but I started a new job... and (before at my old job it was quite slow so I could check my email a couple times a day and come on this website----but the people treated me awful) I LOVE MY NEW JOB---but I now have no time to check this website :( What have all of you ladies been up too!?! Hopefully things will start slowing down and I can be on here more and more.
So, I posted about registering a while ago. We decided and got set up online with KOHLS and TARGET. We put a couple things on them, online... but in January which is less than a month away we are going to the stores and getting it all done then. He is a teacher and a basketball coach so its hard to find days that he doesnt have practice or games either. What are you ladies registering for? Like I know---pillows, coffee pots, stuff like that.... but I was wondering if any of you were registering for stuff that wasn't all that well known. Maybe stuff that a normal bride and groom would need but forget to register for?? I have a good idea of what I want, but I thought it would help to see what you other brides are registering for as well!! |

Candles
Do you know where to find these??
Im having a little problem..... LITTLE. Im trying to find hot pink candles for my center pieces they need to be PILLAR CANDLES about 2 x 3 or a little taller. I don't want to spend too much on them, since there isn't much you can do with them afterwards! I went to the Dollar Tree and found pink ones, but they aren't the shade of pink that I want. I'm not picky, but this was way off! If I can't find a cheap pink candle I'm going to end up having to go with white candles which is okay. I do need your help ladies.
Do any of you know where I can find cheap wholesale either pink or white candles?? I mean I OBVIOUSLY need them cheap since I would have bought them at the dollar tree :) They just need to stay lit for a couple hours and thats it. Any websites you might be able to think of just let me know! Thank you in advance! :) THE PICTURE OF THE CANDLES IS THE COLOR THAT I WANT THE CANDLES TO BE (IF I CAN GET THEM) MAYBE JUST A LITTLE BIT LIGHTER |

DIY Project
Inspiration from the guests
This is something I have been working on for a while and it actually is kind of time consuming but I think after the wedding I will be so happy that I did this.
I bought packs of paper --green & pink--- my colors. I typed three different sentences in word ** Your favorite memory of the Bride & Groom** ** Advice for the Bride & Groom** ** Future Predictions** I had some monograms that I made. I put them into word and made them smaller then cut them all out... punched holes through the three sheets of paper and put a bow on them. Like I said before...It is definetly time consuming, but I think after the wedding Bryan and I are really going to enjoy reminising in old memories, getting advice from those who have been married for a while or even those who haven't been married, and then maybe have some laughs about the Future Predictions. Im not sure if we are going to take them with us on our honeymoon or just wait until we get home to read them all. Let me know what you think?!?!? |

4 months to go
Im getting really busy... need to vent
So I have about 4 months and 1 week to go. Im starting to really feel the pressure of my wedding coming soon. I feel like I have gotten alot done, but I also feel like I keep checking things off my list but my list isn't getting any smaller.
Only a few of the things I need to get done! * Invitations * Programs * Buy Candy for the favors * GIfts for mine and his parents * Gifts for groomsmen and ring bearer -- the girls side is done :) * Making the food menu---we won't be buying food until about a month before--we are doing a pasta buffet--and a good friend of the family is a great cook so she is helping. * I need to figure out what songs I wanted sung or played * One of the bridesmaids dresses didn't fit so Im waiting to find out what to do * I still need to buy his wedding band * We haven't even started planning the honeymoon. We know we want to go to Florida for Disney and Seaworld and stuff -- but thats it * Marriage Counseling starts in a month * Im starting a new job on Monday--which im nervous about--excited, but nervous * My car isn't working right so Im hoping its not a big money bill :( A bunch more stuff but I didn't feel like typing them and Im sure you didn't feel like reading them! How are the rest of you ladies dealing with all these things that just seem to pile up??? I know I have 4 months.. but I have been engaged for 5 and I can't believe how FAST those 5 months have come and gone! |

Wedding Bands
He got mine this weekend!
Hey Ladies!!! Back from Thanksgiving! I hope you all had a great time with your families!
Well, on black friday Bryan and I decided to go shopping ( we didn't go until like 11:00 am... so it wasn't too bad) but while we were at the mall he bought my ring! I am really happy. I love the ring. I was going to buy his ring but he is trying to decide between a zirconium ring or a titanium ring. I guess the zirconium ring was a newer piece because the jeweler had to look it up. I guess it's in the same family as titanium. At first I was not sure if it was related to CUBIC zirconium, but the lady assured me that it wasn't. What are you ladies getting your fiance? What type of metal?? Here is a picture of my wedding band. It's the picture on the website. When I get the ring in a couple weeks Ill take pictures and show you! |

Encouragement
A sad death... but leaving behind his legacy
I Just found out that one of my old highschool teachers who was also our assistant Pastor at our church and a very close friend of the family passed away this morning at 1:30. He has been struggling with Cancer for a long time and finally has gone to spend eternity with his Saviour. This is a very sad time, but we are all rejoicing as well. He has been suffering for quite sometime. Please pray for me and everyone else who has been touched by his life. His oldest son is actually one of my best friends. His viewing is on Friday and the funeral is on Saturday... again... Please pray for all of us! He is leaving behind an amazing woman( his wife of 21 years) an 18 year old son, a 14 year old daughter and a 5 year old son
If you want to read something that could change you life you need to read his blog!! He and his family are one of the strongest Christian families I have ever met. Please take a minute to read his blog. Even go back a couple of blogs.. it will touch your heart!! Especially his wifes perspective.. I think as we all get married soon we need to strive to be more and more like Merrily ( his wife) she is truley an example of someone who is there for her husband through better or worse. I will miss him dearly but I will see him again. His Blog Website!! www.thehokeypokeyplace.blogspot.com |

Changing Room Signs
Diy Project
Thanks to some of the other brides posts I decided to make signs of my own. Thank you for the idea!!
~* For those of you who don't know what Im talking about-- these are signs that I will be putting on the two rooms where the girls and I will be changing and my honey and the boys will be changing. That way when other ladies or men are walking around or needing the restroom they don't accidentally come into our room.~* Just something funny I had to tell you ladies. My FH was reading one of my other posts and saw NWR and DIY and he said what do those mean? So I told him it was NOT WEDDING RELATED and DO IT YOURSELF..and he was like do those other ladies know what you mean?? He was looking at me like it was my own blonde language. HEHE. LOL I started laughing and said NO! They know what I mean :) I thought it was funny |

I got a new job!!
Okay.. this is NWR...
I am so excited Ladies. I have been working as a secretary for a small garbage company for the past 10 months and it has been nothing but hell on earth with them. I have had payroll checks bounced, accused of never showing up to work--when I was most definetly there. As if planning a wedding isnt stressful enough, I had to deal with them.
Anyways, I had an interview last night, and I got hired...as an adminstrative assitant. The lady I will be working for actually is a friend of the family and goes to my church. She is an accountant. I know this job will be stressful at times but I am up for the challenge and I at least know I will be treated with respect. Oh my gosh ladies. I have been looking for a new job for months now.... I know some of you ladies are looking for new jobs too, let me tell you dont give up!! It will get better!! I just had to share this with you because.. my weekend is just getting better and better. |

Back to Blonde!!
well..almost... just a little problem
So I decided to go back to my blonde hair color. I tried to dye it back today, and the dye did almost nothing!!! All it did was lighten it up a little bit...now it looks like a dark medium blonde instead of a light brown. Im not sure what went wrong.. maybe I just dyed it too close to when I dyed it the first time. Im going to give it a couple of weeks and then I am just going to dye it again...I really hope I can get it back to the right shade of blonde that I want it at. I like the darker color, but Its just not me. I want to be able to look back at my wedding pictures and look how I have always known myself to look. I don't know why I even changd it in the first place---Im sure you girls understand :)-- THANKS FOR ALL YOUR INPUT IT REALLY HELPED ME DECIDE TO GO BACK!! YOU LADIES ARE THE BEST!!
