Wedding Wednesday

We did not do a lot of shopping around for our Save the Dates.  I had a friend at work who was also planning her wedding at the same time as I was, so when she found a magnet save the date at a reasonable price, I took her vendor suggestion and loved the results.

I found this idea and I absolutely love it, especially if you have a really good "how we met" story!!

Not a Bad Weekend

There was a lot on my "to do" list this weekend, and we got quite a bit done!!

  • Lights are up on the outside of the house... it looks pretty good... I'll post some Christmas pictures soon
  • We got SO much Christmas shopping done.  I'm really excited to wrap everything this week... I love wrapping presents!!  I just have a few other things to get for J and then I'll be done!
  • We did a TON of baking on Sunday.  We have:
    • Peppermint Sugar Cookies
    • Peppermint Bark
    • Fudge
    • Oreo Tuffels
    • We still have a few other things that we want to make and take to my mom's
  • I got most of my committee work done... I'm still waiting on the scoring for one more of the committee members... hopefully he gets his stuff in tomorrow... we don't have time to wait.
What did we not get done this weekend?

THANK YOU NOTES!!!!

I wanted to get these out forever ago, then we wanted to wait on them because we wanted to put our change of address postcards in with them.  Well, now at least some people will be getting a thank you note, a change of address and a Christmas card.

I am bound and determined to get those thank yous out this week before I leave for the holidays!!!

I'm really looking forward to having a less busy week at work.  By less busy, I mean I'll hopefully be on my way out by 5:00 pm or 5:30 pm... it's still going to be a week full of meetings and stuff to get done, but I'm planning on being able to come home and get some stuff done here, too.

We really need to get the other presents we have for J's family in the mail, so that's top priority for Monday!

Hope you have a great week!!

What A Week...

This week has seemed to take FOREVER because it's been so busy... only 1 week and 1 day left in the semester... it's almost over (HOORAY!!!!) and then I'll be back to a semi-normal schedule.  Luckily the busiest week ever is almost over AND a fun weekend is about to begin!!!

This weekend I have to:

  • Do some committee work... we are choosing the best in newly constructed collegiate rec centers
  • Christmas shopping... SOOOOOO excited for this!!!
  • Making Christmas Cookies... I'm really looking forward to some fun time in the kitchen with J making a bunch of different Christmas goodies
  • Thank You Notes... yes... I know... but we haven't hit 6 months yet so I'm not violating any wedding law yet
  • Get the Christmas lights up... I only have one more week at home before Christmas so hopefully we can get the lights up so I can enjoy them for a week  :)
How's your Christmas shopping coming???

Wedding Wednesday

For those of you who may need flats because you don't want to be taller than your fiance/husband or for those of you who just want flats because of the comfort factor, I think these are amazing and there's no way you can go wrong with them!!!

I'm not a huge fan of the white things, but I do love the other stones on the shoe... they may be a little gaudy, but I prefer to call it "costume jewelry" or "I'm the bride, and I'll wear what I want".
