Days fly by!

Ahoy there!

Let me start by saying I'm SO excited for my bridal shower tomorrow! EEEEEeeeee!

Kc came down last weekend and we finished up with our sponsor couple and the priest and the deacon the weekend before that! It feels good to be crossing things off the list!

1. Wedding Bands
2. DJ (yep, we ended up going DJ- request songs!!!)
3. Parents outfits
4. Invitations (designed, printed, sent)

 

But there are things that aren't crossed yet- yikes!

1. Make table Squares
2. Ceremony Music/ Musicians (let me know if you you know a violinist or cellist!)
3. Finish up ceremony details
4. Figure out hair and make up
5. Get accessories
6. Take care of alcohol for reception
7. Make MORE decorations
8. Get rest of mason Jars
9. Order favors

Ok I have to stop making this list, I'm getting nervous!!! No, I feel pretty good about where we are at the 2 month mark- or a few days less now! 1 month, 26 days WOW. 

Kc and I worked on making Chalkboards last weekend too. Yep, he really is helping in all this crazy planning ;)

Happy Friday!

3 months and 5 days

My gosh.

The days seem to be FLYING by. My excitement grows with each day that passes! And despite how insanely busy we've been at the store doing and preparing for events- we've actually managed to stay (somewhat) on top of wedding tasks!

We've been meeting with everyone through the church, we've picked out our wedding bands (so exciting!), we've gotten tons of yards of burlap (and I mean tons!), and I've been trying to keep up with all of the crafting! Tonight, I've just about finished up the escort cards, minus the actual table numbers, which will happen after the rsvps come in and I know for sure where everyone is seated. Wow, those are some long sentences...sorry! 

It looks like a lot of tags there but that isn't even half! Just what I worked on tonight. I've gotta wash tons of mason jars and add the drink tags, make burlap table squares for the middle of the tables, make burlap pennant banners, and so much more that I can't even think about! Whew! Good thing I love crafting :P

Earlier this week my mom and I were checking out a barn sale in Frederick and picked up a neat bird cage for cards to be put in. Just needs a little cleaning up and it will be just perfect! Clearly I'm not afraid of a little rustic touch at our wedding :)

Happy Father's Day!

Drink Tags- the final touch!

Good Morning!

First I must tell you that the craziest thing happened last night. I awoke to the sound of running water in my bedroom at 2 am. Uh oh! When I turned the light on, I saw it...water GUSHING out from around my air conditioner. "BOWLS!"

Kc and I race to the kitchen finding the largest bowls we can and stash them under the river flowing from the wall. I look in Kc's room. MORE WATER! The bowls were filling up in a matter of about 30 seconds! It was a blur of commotion as we are running back and forth between the bathroom and the rivers. WATER. Everywhere there was water!

And the craziest thing- I could not stop laughing it was just so ridiculous. Seeing the water spilling out of the wall. I was hysterical. I was even more hysterical after I discovered that the emergency maintenance number was no different than the leasing office number which led me to a voice mail! Not good. I think I should win voice mail of the year because it was pretty fantastic. I wish I had my own recording of it. 

Needless to say, they came and sucked the water out of the apartment, and gave us the magnet that has the emergency maintenance number...why that is not online is still beyond me. But they were very sympathetic as they do not want to lose a resident. This is certainly a memory Kc and I will share forever because it was rather unforgettable! We will look back and laugh at the time a river was flowing through our walls and out of the air conditioner. Good times!

Anyway, I really came here to share the finished, finished product of the drink tags! I decided that they needed a little something on the back. Here's what I came up with:

What do you think? :)
