Short and Sweet

My necklaces finally came in from mlb.com! And guess what! They sent me another 15% off coupon (now is that marketing or what!) so earrings here I come! Andy's mom also bought him a Brewers tie that he will wear for the reception. I'm excited to see that!

We also just got our tickets in the mail for Jamaica in March!! I cannot wait!!

Thats about all I have for an update.

A Couple Updates

Even though Andy and I practically have lived together since we started dating, we now just live as the two of us. No more roommates, no more stress. Our house is finally a home complete with furniture and a dining room table.It's cute and the perfect size for us. We did have a little disagreement when a couple pairs of my shoes ended up on his side of the closet...whoops.. sometimes a girl just needs that little bit of extra space that he wasn't putting to use anyways.

Now that we're all moved I can focus more on wedding stuff. Our trip to Jamaica is booked for this coming March! Now just setting aside money to pay his parents back for the trip is the tricky part, especially with school and books..and well end of the season sales. 

 Our reception is booked! I read on theknot.com that Lakefront Brewery is booked solid until Nov. 2012 and since were getting married March 2013 we had to get things moving! We have Lakefront booked for Sunday April 13th. I didn't want it to be that long after our wedding but Andy said that if anything goes wrong at least we have time to fix it. Valid point.

Yesterday I spent a good hour at Michael's picking out stuff to make "Will You Be My Bridesmaid" invitations.  It was exciting! I think I came up with a million new ideas as I wondered up and down every isle. Then I came to the Martha Stewart Collection and it was like stating with a clean slate. The only thing I couldn't find were little yellow silk flowers. They had every other color you could imagine, and of course no yellow. I asked an employee if there was anywhere I could find yellow and she acted as though I was bothering her so for now I settled for white. Hopefully Walmart or Target will have what I'm looking for.

Today MLB.com had a sale on all their proshop stuff. So I bought my bridesmaid's necklaces that I want them to  wear. It was great because it was practically buy 3 get one free! I was debating if I want to wear the same necklace or not. One part of me says I should have something more elegant, and the other part of me really really likes it. So for now I bought 4.


Speaking of only buying 4, I think decided to only have 4 bridesmaids instead of 5. I was going to have my room mate from last year be one of them, but since we moved we really haven't talked much. I figure I have enough time where I change my mind I can always ask her later on, but for now I think I'm leaving it at 4.
