Music
for walking down the aisle
I have really fallen in love with the song "A River Flows in You" by Yiruma. It's just a piano piece, but I think it's so pretty!! I want to use it for my song to walk down the aisle.

And more planning!
At least for a month
Today I take my final exam for A&P. I'll tell ya, I barely studied. I studied the answer to the essay question but that's about it. My professor said the test wouldn't be very specific seeing as it's 100 multiple choice questions over something like, 14 chapters, so it would be really general. Anyway, once today is over, SCHOOL is over for a month, so I am hoping I will get back into planning wedding things.

Where has time gone??
Only a little over 5 months!
Holy shit I do not even know where time has gone. I know it has been a good while since I have even been on this site. I have just been so busy that I have hardly thought of wedding stuff at all, and it's in less than 6 months!!! I need to order address labels so I can mail out my Save the Date cards. I actually had them all addressed, but that was when we lived at our apartment, and we have since moved into a house, and I REALLY don't want to re-write all the addresses. Our move has been the main factor in my wedding slack. That and school. Because we moved, we have been a little low on money seeing as we had 2 places we had expenses for last month. But this next paycheck that Kenny gets, things should be back to normal. But I want to order my address labels from Vista Print so I can send the save the dates out as soon as possible. And today I just realized that I will probably need to send out the actual INVITATIONS by the end of February!!!! That is SO CLOSE! And I need to get centerpiece things. I think I decided I am just doing really simple centerpieces. I am thinking something with mirrors and candles and pearly beads. I am probably going to skip out on favors except for maybe some bubbles. I really don't think anyone is going to care whether I give them something they will probably throw out once they leave the wedding. I need to compile a playlist, I need to make sure my bridesmaid get their dresses, and I think I might go insane with all this!! I felt like I had hardly anything to be done, which really it isn't that much, but still, it's creeping up on me!

Cake
Getting some info
We are not doing some huge cake to serve all our guests, but we are going to have a small 1 or 2 layer cake for the two of us (so we can do the cake cutting), then we want to have cupcakes for our guests. If we do a Mario cake, it will be similar to the ones in the pictures. If we do a Halo cake, I want to either do just the "3" symbol from Halo, or have the entire Halo logo put on the cake. If we did the Mario cake, I am thinking of doing a mix of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, have white icing, and have the baker draw the famous mushroom on the cupcakes. That would be pretty easy I think. If we did the Halo cake, we would probably do the "3" symbol on the tops of the cupcakes. |

 grey's anatomy |
Another A! Wooo!!
NWR: just excited!
Speaking of anatomy, did anyone watch the season premier of Grey's??? *spoiler alert!* Omg, in the beginning when they had Meredith's dream that Derek died, I was already in tears! I cry over pretty much any slightly sad part on shows or movies, so I was crying within the first 2 minutes of that episode! I was so relieved when it was just a dream though. Phew!!! If McDreamy ever died, that would be the end of the show for me. I saw Can't Buy Me Love on TV the other day (for the first time), and Patrick Dempsey's voice sounds exactly the same! It was weird. I was mad that Grey's didn't come on last week! Dang Presidential debates ruining my TV schedule! The Office didn't come on either! |

My birthday gift!
Love it!
I think for Christmas I am going to TRY and get Kenny a PS3. We'll see though. Luckily with my family this Christmas, I think we are drawing names, so I don't have to worry about getting a million people presents. I got my grandma's name. I'll probably still get little things for other people, but at least I don't have to worry about getting EVERYONE really nice gifts. Plus now I have double families to buy for since we have Kenny's family also. I wish we'd draw names for them too. I get so stressed shopping for people because I never know what to get anyone and I feel like I always get the same person the same gift for every occasion. |

Engagement pictures
Engagement session/booked photographer
I LOVE it so far and I am so excited to see the rest of the pictures! She said she will upload several more on her blog later this week, and in about 2 weeks I will have the DVD of digital negatives. She said she narrows them down to the best 50 or 60 images. I can't wait to see them!!! The toughest part will probably be choosing which to use for our save the dates! It was so fun walking around with Katelyn. We went to downtown Norfolk and took a bunch of pictures in front of some old building and stuff, then we found this cute little neighborhood with cobblestone streets and this Japanese garden type of thing next to a dock. The pictures by the buildings were nice because it was a break from the traditional "in the park" type of pictures. I'm also so glad she found that cute neighborhood because it is making me want to see what the price is to live there! I will post several more engagement pictures whenever I get them! |

Venue found!
As long as we can get one of the dates...
The one we ARE going to TRY and get is Cannon Ridge Golf Club! It was really beautiful there. Not as pretty as Maymont of course, but they are definitely a better deal and aren't ripping me off in every direction. There are 2 Saturdays in April that are available and 2 in May. I am trying to get either May 2 or May 23. I mainly want those dates because the ceremony and pictures would be outside and April is a little risky for rain. There were also some June dates but they were at the end of June and I don't want it to be that hot. I have to coordinate with my possible and probably photographer and with Cannon Ridge. The lady at Cannon Ridge said that she would "hold" the date without a deposit and just let me know if someone else inquires about it or if they get it. Hopefully no one takes it. I really hope that things work out! They want a hefty deposit though which is going to be a killer on my parents. They want 50% of total estimated costs I think. Whereas Maymont just wanted $500. Which by the way I am going to try and get our deposit back from them because of how horrible it ended up being! Ugh! But anyway, I want Cannon Ridge! I just want to get this date set! |
