Long Lost Blogger

Wow, am I a slacker or what?! No post since the new year... very disappointing.

So a catch up of the last few months... most of anything that is even worth updating on, involves the wedding.

  • Wedding invitations were picked out, bought and have arrived. They are amazing, I love them! They are very different from what normal wedding invites look like, but they are us, and that is all that matters!
  • We went cake testing, and pick out our FLAVORS of cake. Yes, that is right, we couldn't just pick one, so there will be four! We decided on not doing a big cake... no one likes to cut it, and it just is a waste of money. We will have one round cake, which we will cut, and the bridal party and family can go at it, and then we will have complementing cupcakes in different flavors! I am happy with our decision, and it saved us a lot of money. Our cake design is yet again not something that is done with traditional wedding cakes. They will be tattooing out cake, which is just awesome.
  • We went and picked out what Craig will be wearing for the wedding. It looks amazing.
  • All my bridesmaids and my wonderful maid of honor have their dresses, and they are beautiful.
  • My wedding band, and Craigs have been picked out and purchased.
  • Caitlin came home for a visit the end of January into February. It was so much fun, and we had a great time. I missed her so much when she left.
  • Mathew is inching closer and closer to boarder patrol, and I am so excited and proud.
  • I went on a 4 day business trip to North Dakota. It was boring. There is nothing there, and was very uneventful. I am grateful of the opportunities my company gives me though, and I did learn a lot.
  • Caitlin, my bestie, moved back home! I was SOOOO excited. Everything is so much better when she is around. It has been so nice having her home these last few weeks!
  • Engagement pictures are done, and back!
  • Yard work has been in full force in between rain and snow storms... and sometimes during them. New fence up, new gardens in, old gardens out, fertilizer down, etc. The work is no where close to done... but it is making progress!
So there is my update. Hopefully I can not slack off so much anymore. Wedding almost at the 2 month mark; and to be completely honest I am starting to silently freak out inside. It's a lot of work... even more so as a DIY bride. It will all be great in the end, I am confident of that. Can't wait to marry Craig. xoox
