First fitting

My wedding dress has been in for about 3 weeks. I've been scared to try it on. I'm not sure if it's because I am needing to get rid of the "holiday" LB's or what.  I finally tried on my dress and it's a little big! So what is the incentive to lose weight???? I was hoping it would be too small so I would have an extra incentive to lose weight....oh well.  Guess I better start thinking about the bachelorette party and being in a bathing suit!!!

Oh, but the good news is, that it is still beautiful and I love it just as much as I did the day we bought it!

Registering

So we finally registered! Wow, what a process.  We were at Bed Bath Beyond for almost 3 hours! It was a nice experience compared to Dillards.  We had our own consultant to help us along the way and guide us on what we really needed and what we did not.  I can totally see why they do this....to methodically increase their sales! We ended up registering for China.  We had not planned on it, but am really glad we did. I think I would regret it in a few years when we have a bigger house and want to host dinner parties, etc.

Feels good to have that done! Now bring on the showers and wedding! ;-)

"The Bus Missed Me"

Markus has been getting in trouble at school so Brian and I decided to have a talk with him and see what is really going on.  His mom told us that he missed the bus then refused to go to school.  We asked Markus why he missed the bus, and he said "I didn't, the bus missed me"....what a great answer! I was dying in the front seat.  If you think about it, that is true.  The bus did go by his house and didn't pick him up!

If my future kids have responses like this, how on earth will I stay mad at them! We're screwed.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Look what came in the mail today from Shari's Berries???? The woman even spells her name the same way AND the Strawberries were the bomb! Thank you Brian! I love you!

Splitsville

Soo Demi Moore and Ashton...now Seal & Heidi Klum.  I am mortified.  Two couples I truly thought were in for the long haul.  What do I know?!

Poor Lindsey Lohan can't catch a break

Shocking news-Lindsey Lohan is possibly involved in another legal battle.  She allegedly hit another pedestrian while driving her Maserati. I will take her Maserati if she goes to jail!

Bachelorette Party booked!

Flight to Vegas is booked! Yay! So excited for it and Sheila has done a great job taking care of the planning! I can't wait!!! It's for sure going to be a fun, relaxing, and crazy time! Here are some pics of our suite!

Dominican Republic booked!

We booked our honeymoon! Punta Cana here we come! Honeymoon suite. OMG I can't wait.
In the bottom picture, just insert our faces ;-)

NYE

I decided to take the Friday before NYE off.  I met with a florist and also stopped at a few hotels close to the Sheraton to discuss a room block so our guests could have a cheaper, second alternative.  Ryan and Laurie were spending the weekend with us, which was sooo awesome to have them here!  We had a party Friday night at our place for Brian's old roommates.  It was alot of fun and so nice to see David, Lindsey, and their kids, and Rustin and Libby also came over! We had alot of yummy food and watch the Hawks lose to the Sooners.  Honestly, I never thought they would win and Oklahoma is my second team so I really didn't care who won....sorry to say that!

Saturday night, we went to dinner at Fire Creek with Ryan and Laurie then went to Ducktail for a few drinks and made it home shortly BEFORE midnight.  Yes, you read that right, BEFORE midnight.  It sucks getting old! :-)

I wish I had pics to show, but I didn't take any. Shame on me.

Christmas

Friday before Christmas we headed to my dad and Kathy's.  We got into town Friday afternoon.  We stopped and dropped off Bridgette and Ellen's bridesmaid dress at Newman's so Cathy could deliver them to Bridgette on Saturday.  It was nice stopping by and catching up with Cathy, Court, and Andrew!  Then we opened presents at my dad's and had a nice dinner.  Saturday we went to Jeremy's house and and all the kids were there. I have to say, Christmas is much more fun when there are kids around opening presents! They get such cool things, I'm not sure who has more fun playing, me or them...haha.  Saturday night we opened presents at Brian's parents house, and Sunday we had lunch at his grandma's.  Sunday morning we actually didn't have anywhere we had to be, so we opened a few presents that we had bought for each other, and then made breakfast. It was very nice! Below are a few pics of the kids at Christmas, and another of Brian and Colby taking a nap after eating a big meal!

 I want one!

Brian will KILL me for posting this picture!! haha

KC Groupon

Sorry, I have been so bad about keeping up with my blog.  Of course, it's a new year and it's on my list of things to improve!

A few weeks before Christmas, Brian and I went to Kansas City and spent the night.  I had bought a groupon way back in September for a one night stay at the Q Hotel and Spa in Kansas City.  We had a really good time and we really got our money's worth! The hotel had free drinks from 5-7PM at the hotel bar. Now, use your imagination, what do you think two people who are planning and spending every penny they have on their wedding, did??? You guessed it, we took full advantage and got drunk! We met 2 fencers that were in town from California for a competition.  Talk about interesting conversation.  I love meeting new people and having great conversation. The hotel also had a free continental/omelette breakfast which was delicious.  I would suggest anyone staying in the Westport area to stay there.

All in all, it was a nice getaway! We won't be getting many of those this year with the wedding! I just have to keep thinking of the bachelorette party and honeymoon!
