Bridal things....

Today I went by David's Bridal to get the rest of my stuff to go with my wedding dress. Oh it was fun! Trying on all the different head pieces. I changed my veil and I am happy with what I changed it to. But when my consultant rung it all up WOW!! Thank the lord I am only going to do this once in my life. Weddings are SO expensive. I feel like we have to start saving now for when our daughter gets married and we don't even have one yet! haha

But my Bridal pictures are for Friday, with the weather how its looking, UGH! I hope we don't have to reschedule.

It's getting closer!! Only 39 days left!!

Bridal Shower!!

My Bridal shower is coming up on Nov. 1st and I am so thrilled! The invitations went out a week ago I think and I had not seen them! So the other day my "mother-in-law" showed me what they look like! And they are SO adorable!!! The ladies, at First Baptist Church in Cabot, which are friends of my "mother-in-law" are the awesome women who are putting this together for me! So here are the adorable invitations they made for my Bridal shower!

Here is the front:

If you cant read it it says: "The question was popped, the answer is "Yes!" A bridal shower planned before the white dress."



Here's the inside:



Isn't it just so darn adorable?! I loved it when it was showed to me! I am getting really excited they have put so much hard work into this and its going to be great!

Invitations Oh My!!

Today we had our little invitation party!! There was Jonathan and I and my mother and his mom. Reye my MOH couldn't be there but that was partly my fault but that's completely OK!!

WOW I didn't know doing this was going to be such HARD work!! We worked all the way from noon after church and we did not leave his mothers house till like 8pm!

We had went over the night before and I made my first Holiday Cheese Log, Sausage Cheese Balls, and this AWESOME Peanut Butter Dip!! Might I say I did a pretty good job!

We did our own invitations, so what I mean by that was we bought the designs we wanted but we printed all the Invitations, Response cards, Direction cards our self so we could design them!

HARD WORD to say the least!!

We only had like 3 testers and boy did we use them and then some! To get all the spacing and sizing just right was a task in itself! But then I got the details just right and then the printer problems!! HAHA Jonathan was pulling his hair out it was funny. There were a few things messed up and when I walked back into the office he was like "Don't hate me!!" because of him messing up but I just laughed! He was cute. So after all the little mishaps, we were good.

Then came all the little details. Like my return address on the response card envelope! And the labels did not want to cooperate with us. So we had to run each response card envelope through the printer!! THEN, the labels for the "outer" envelope did not want to work either. So guess what? I had to write each address by hand.... can you say hand cramps? :) Then we remembered about the postage stamps for the response card envelopes and had to do that. So we actually put all the invitations together maybe 3 times before we had all the pieces in place and remembered everything. FUN FUN!!

Here's a few pictures of the mess :

See how much fun? My mother-in-law found the cutest stamps at Wal-Mart for the response cards, they are Christmas Stamps. I thought it was perfect to go along with my December Christmas wedding!!

SO MUCH PINK!! I LOVE IT~

This was towards the end where it was some what organized, after we had already pulled them part a couple of times!! We kept forgetting little things. Silly Silly us.

But all in all we had a very good day! Tying ribbons, stuffing envelops, getting hand cramps, messing up things, runs to Wal-Mart, and laughing was all worth it! I love you guys!

We are mailing all the invitations next weekend, SO after we get them all mailed. I will put up a post of more detailed pictures showing you what the invitations look like all put together. I LOVE THEM!! I hope you will to!

Photo Session!!

Tomorrow was suppose to be our engagement picture session. See how I used the word "was". I have been trying really hard to keep that appointment but my body just isn't letting me. The surgery took a little more of a toll on me then what we expected! We are seriously coming down to a time crunch here! We have 43 days! Left...WOW. It always seemed like SO far away and now it is so close! We still have so much left to do!

So we are trying to shoot our photos not this weekend but next. Yes I know Halloween weekend! That is also my Bridal shower weekend too! I am so excited about that!! From how my mother in law is talking it is going to be something pretty spectacular! I can't wait!!!! Now just if I can get my body back to feeling better!!

I have been bad I know....

Like I said I know I have been really bad, I have not posted in FOREVER!! But a lot has been going on. Yesterday I had surgery which I am doing really well. We had a little scare but everything is okay. My ICP (intercranial pressure) is doing great so I have not had any migraines since I woke up (I had one because I lost to much spinal fluid during the surgery) but so far migraine free! YES!

So it is only 45 DAYS!! Till our wedding! Which is almost 6 weeks! WOW! How time goes by so fast! I am so excited!

We have pictures this weekend and I have my Bridals coming up and there is still so much to do to finish getting ready for the wedding! But it will all work out!

This weekend is also our "invitation party"!! We are going to be doing a lot of stuffing and addressing this weekend so I hope my ladies are up to the challenge! Jonathan too! Don't think hes going to get out of addressing and stuffing envelopes!! I think we might even drag Tyler (BM) into it too!

My first Bridal shower is coming up on the 1st of November! I can not wait!! Me and the mother in law went and got a new dress and shoes just for it! How fun! I am really excited I can not wait...From how the mother in law talks this is going to be a pretty awesome shower!

Wish us luck! We have a lot to do and only 45 days left! WOW!!! I can not get over in 45 days I will be Mrs. Hamric!! Yay me! :) lol
