Sending a postcard

Working on what to do for our Save the Dates. I think I will go with post cards as First-Class Mail® Postcards: 6 inches long by 4-1/4 inches high by .016 inch thick cost $0.32; that sounds like the cheapest way to go =)

Wedding adlibs, guest book alternative

To go along with Laura's Idea of a photo scavenger hunt, I thought this would be cute too.

Dress Shopping Attempt #2/3

Went shopping with Cyndi today for both of our weddings dresses; she needs her within 2 months and I need mine within 8 months. We found and bought one her and she also found one for me; both her and Chris like it a lot though Chris thinks it would look 'hotter' with white fishnets. Me...well I thought it was a little too shiny and made me feel like a hooker. The store, Jessica McClintock, wouldn't let you take pictures but I snuck one; not the greatest but better then nothing. The picture next to me is from their website (http://www.jessicamcclintock.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10002&storeId=10001&productId=174128&categoryId=10331&subcatname=Wedding%20Gowns&spage=1&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=10318) however it is shown there in purple.

Scrabble Shirt

I wanted to get these shirts for both Chris and I to wear but they only had white for men and brown for girls and we all know how much I love the color brown. I ordered him one in white regardless of me not getting one =)

Scrabble Ideas

As many of you know, I was collecting scrabble stuff for school as well as the wedding. Natalie, another teacher at my school gave me TONS of stuff but after sorting it all out, I was short some letters. Laura just sent me a cute idea though that I could do instead.

Court

The Court Trial was today. Finally, everything now has been signed and is over in terms of the drama and custody with the boys. What does that mean? Our life can go one without wondering what is going to happen next and exactly 8 months from today, Christopher and I will be married.

Free Engagement Photo Photographer?!?!

So Karen found a photographer on Craigslist offering free wedding/engagement pictures. Needless to say, Karen is wonderful and contacted her on our behalf! Looking forward to seeing the girls work because we all know I cannot pass up FREE!

Video?

Andrew Dennis/Gurak just had her wedding and posted her Wedding Trailer (http://vimeo.com/34490273) and I loved it. Needless to say, I went to the website for who she had it done by (http://www.plan-a-productions.com/) and shocking it is the brother of someone we both went to school with; such a small world. I emailed him and I am patiently awaiting his response to see if he can do something special for our atypical wedding.

2nd Pre-Gift

Laura Selsky/Dulian not only was one of the few to get me an engagement card, which mind you I never knew they exhisted, but now she also got me my second pre-wedding gift; I nice gift card to enjoy dinner with Christopher
