Here are the det's:
Date: Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012
Location: Ravens Nest, Timberline Lodge, Oregon
Colors: Blue and Yellow
Invitations: Designed by Kristen Calderwood
Favors: handmade with Stampin' Up stuff (So excited to share this one with you! Just waiting for a couple stamps to arrive in the mail)
Dress: A surprise, duh! ; ) but it is a Maggie Sattero
Photographer: Lyfe Photography (Super happy about this one too!)
table style: Long U shaped, so everyone can sit together.
Sooo excited, and things are getting squared away, alot has gotten done in the last few weeks.
Date has been set (yes, really a Wednesday). Location set, photographers met and decided, invites designed, printed, cut, mailed. Registry's created, Website up! Cake tasting and deciding done. Lodging for everyone to stay close by and celebrate with us.
We are getting down to more of the details, which while stressful and overwhelming at first, is a sign that the big things are taken care of. I still need to determine someone to do hair, figure out centerpieces/flowers, make favors, find the small details like the flower for my hair, frame for the guest book tree, makeup, and then making sure everything goes smoothly...
Kristopher is free most of April (so he says) so he's got a short list of things he's in charge of doing for me, including developing a music playlist and putting it together on an Ipod, going and cutting wood down and making trivets for part of centerpieces (I figure he'll enjoy this one), and figuring out day before and the day before before dinner food (which he wants to cook, which is awesome and cheaper : ) )
RSVP's are coming in, and it does make me sad at the no's that are there, I get it, I understand, and there will be time to celebrate with those loved ones as well, and I smile and get happy when I see yes's too.
The space is amazing, and soon I'll post pictures of invites, location, flower ideas, etc... just haven't gotten to getting them on the computer.
In other news, work is going well, balancing the two jobs, working out, and planning a wedding has been a good kind of busy, but exhausting.
Kristen did come out yesterday and we had a Stampin' Up Party for a few girlfriends of mine here. It was a good different and normal things to do from all of the above craziness going on, which is nice, and I believe I may be getting some free stamps out of it (along with the ones for the wedding stuff) so thats always fun and exciting, finally getting a little collection going, which means it's going to get more and more affordable to make fun exciting different cards and things... I will have to also take a picture of the favor she gave me that she made with the stuff, so creative and cute, almost made me want to change the favors for the wedding, but I didn't ; )
Oh and I filed taxes, (which I was dreading b/c I really did think I owed money this year) and got 200 back! Which then lead to looking at flights for my friend Lindsay's wedding the first weekend in June (while dually asking the scheduling manager if anyone else had asked for those days off - and gaining a no response) and found a killer deal with a $166 ticket and a $47 rental car for the 1st-3rd! Booked that right up, so I have that wonderful celebration to look forward to attending as well (Kristopher will be leaving for 'summer camp' for the army to help run it the day before I leave, so he won't be coming with, but it'll still be a fun trip!)
Anywho, I hope you are all doing well, too many words, and not any pictures, my apologizes! Soon though I promise!
