Holy Crap

So holy crap is it going to be busy from here on out or what. My bridal shower is next weekend, we'll be painting our apartment in two weeks, moving in in three weeks, and we're getting married in four weeks from today. We have lots to do so we're in crunch time but it's all starting to finally sink in. I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D It's almost here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

YAY!!!!!

So Les and I have some very exciting news. We found our apartment. We are super excited and can't wait to move in. It's a loft so our bedroom is upstairs and it's enormous. Downstairs is a half bath, the dining room, the living room, the kitchen, and we have a wood fireplace. =D We are so excited. WE can not wait to get it all ready to move into. The owners before us painted it dark blue in the dining room, the living room is a mustard yellow and the ceiling in the living room goes up to the second floor so there is a lot of mustard yellow, and then the upstairs bedroom is an avocado green. I don't know what they were thinking. They were going to paint it back to white but we want to paint it so their going to knock like 50 bucks off our first months rent or something like that. We are right by the office so it'll be quiet. YAY. We are right next to the laundry mat. We could probably throw it from our front door. OMG we are so freakin excited and can't wait. We did the application this weekend and she told us she's taking that one off of the available list and that it'll be ours so next weekend we'll come in with the deposits since Les gets paid Thursday and I'll have a week worths of tips. We're going to see if we can move in the first and see if we can come a couple weekends before to paint it but not actually move in till the 1st. I can't wait. We absolutely love it and can't wait to move in and make it ours. Oh and the 7 1/2 foot tree Mom bought us last year after Christmas will definitely fit in the living room since the ceiling in that room goes up to the second floor. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The latest and greatest

So here is the latest and greatest with the wedding plans. We will not have the reception at The Holiday Inn. It's going to by a kind of VIP reception for really family only. The reception is now going to be at The Greenhouse Restaurant which is like a block away from the church. So people can walk to the restaurant if they want or they can drive. I put down a deposit and so it's set. All we got to figure out now is the time.

emergency plan b

So Les and I are trying to come up with an emergency plan B since the Holiday Inn is now way over budget. What we are thinking is trying to rent a mom and pop type restaurant and do a dinner reception. The only thing is that if we get a mom and pop type place it'll be cheaper but it most likely won't hold everyone that is being invited and will most likely come to the wedding. So I'm trying to think of a way on how we can do it at a mom and pop type place.

Errr

So I think we are just ready to go to Vegas....lol.

Wedding = stress

So I found out this week that it is going to cost us 500 bucks to use our church for our ceremony which will last like 30 minutes. They didn't tell us that there was money involved and that it was that much when we were taking our premarital counseling with Danny. They just said that we needed to sign some papers which we haven't yet because we moved buildings and now there is someone else in charge because the lady who was moved to the main campus. So I'm a little ticked off. And we are already so over budget with the reception. I think we both are ready to just go to the JP and get it over with...lol. We had a budget and told the Holiday Inn that this was our budget and we new it was going to be a little bit over but now it's like there are all these hidden costs and it's really frustrating. So what we are thinking now is doing a combined reception and ceremony if they'll let us. My friend Stephanie is having her wedding the weekend before ours and hers is outside. I think an outside wedding would be pretty too. There is just nowhere cheap to do a wedding in Denton. Mike (who's my manager) offered up his yard for the wedding. He has like 5 acres. Anyways that is my frustration at the moment.

Canada

Canada was a blast but unfortunately I will not be posting pictures of the wonderful vacation. I was messing with settings the very last day in Canada and hit format thinking it would format my pictures differently on my camera and I was extremely wrong. It formats the disk/card and erases everything on it so I have no pictures from Canada!!! =( I am not a happy camper. I had some awesome shots. I had a picture of Corey water skiing from the bridge. It was an awesome shot. My blueberry picking pictures of Ashely and myself are gone! My sunset pictures of the lake with the moon are gone. My pictures of Les and I at the dump with the bears are gone. My eagle pictures are gone. My fishing pictures are gone. And my pictures of Les water skiing are gone!!! So pretty much sucks to be me right now!!!! I'm pretty ticked off at myself for that. So everyone else SEND ME YOUR PICTURES!!!!!!
