Florist...check! AND I get to keep my vision and theme w/o spending a crapload of money.
Save the dates...check! Got pink & brown photo magnets so be on the lookout for those soon! Love them!
Cake...check! The baker is awesome and knew exactly what I wanted from my description. And the cake was super yummy, too!
Mom's dress...check! FINALLY got her dress today! She goes for her first fitting in September. The dress is beautiful on her.
Crystal headpiece...check! LOVE IT! I wanted it and soon as I saw it. I don't care that it was $165 for a headband. It's my wedding and I'll do what I want to. haha
Love shoot next month in Livermore. Can't wait to take pics with our photographer. It's going to be so much fun.

Wednesday, May 5, 2010
It's been so long since I've posted something that I had to look back at my blog and see when I wrote and what I wrote about. ha.
Obviously we are in the new house now. It's still crazy to believe that I am a homeOWNER. It's been so much fun slowly getting the place together, adding new furniture. When you drop a downpayment, it's tough to completely furnish your place the way you want to. But we're getting there. We brought Kee's pitbull, Rosie, to the house a few weeks ago and her and Nilo are getting along well. The commute from here to work isn't bad either. I actually enjoy the drive sometimes because it's the only hour and (at the most) 30 mins that I get completely to myself do think, sing, or just enjoy the silence.
Work is going well. Still on day shifts since February and loving it. I definitely like the overall vibe on days better. People are awake, a little more upbeat, which totally makes me feel like a normal person. Plus some of my favorites are on days, so it's awesome to be able to work with them. I ALWAYS look forward to our Friday margarita nights after a hectic day of work.
Wedding planning is going well. We booked our photographer. Her name is Brittany Dewester and is a friend of my co-worker. As soon as I met her, I felt so at ease and felt like I was talking to a good friend. We decided what better person to capture our most intimate and special moments of our day than someone we felt extremely comfortable with. We booked our DJ, Jeff of Amos Productions. Fun, energetic wedding specialist. I am all about having a big dancy party and he will deliver that. YES!
Had a meeting with a florist on Monday. Shoooooot...flowers are expensive! I want to stick with my vision, but I think I may need to reel myself back in and do some trimming. I am meeting with another florist just to compare, we we'll see what we come up with and hopefully will book that this month.
Cake appointment is on May 15th. CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT! The food tasting we did back a while back was sooooo fun, so I can't imagine how fun cake will be! Hopefully they'll be able to do the cake design that I want. Then after eating cake I get to head to SF for Bay to Breakers with the girls. This should be interesting. ha.
June will be pretty busy as well. Dress shopping on June 19th! Still trying to figure out exactly what look we will go for. Just know the dresses will be brown. Another engagement photo shoot will be done in June. Not to mention A's vs Giants on the 11th followed by Plate to Plate 5k on the 12th. And then a wedding in Tahoe the 25-27th. I'm tired just thinking of this.
Side note: So so so happy I got to see Mary & Caroline last week. Thanks for driving out, seeing the house, my wonderful gifts, and for just being you. Love you both times infinity.
