We Registered!

On Sunday we went to Target and registered there then I went to Bed Bath & Beyond on Tuesday and registered for some more stuff. It was lots of fun! I was told by my sister, Christina, that her friends were not impressed with my Target registry, so I guess I need to go back and add some more to that. We're waiting till we get our dining room set from Bliss' parents before we register for that stuff since we don't know how big it is or anything. I think we are also going to register at Home Depot or Lowes but Bliss needs to be around for that.

I'm working on the save the dates. My goal is to get them out in the mail on Tues, so we'll see. I'm not sure how to get the holes in the middle so I'm off to Michael's tomorrow to see what I can find.

crappy work schedules

I'm a little upset. Bliss' parents were supposed to be coming up next week and I was really excited to see them. Now, Bliss is going to be out of town for work so they aren't going to come. Its really too bad because we haven't see them since Christmas 06. Hopefully they will get to come up some other time. Like I said, Bliss is traveling to Oklahoma next week. There is a possibility that he will be going to Utah for 2 weeks after that. Its weird...there isn't anyone traveling at his work for months, then they send everyone away for a long time. Why can't they spread it out a bit more? I don't mind it all that much when hes gone. I mean I miss him, but its not that big of a deal, but I don't know how I feel about him being gone for 3 weeks straight. :(

Oh a happier note, we booked our reception location. Its going to be at the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame. I'm excited about it! I know we really aren't sports people, but we thought it would be fun to be able to walk around and see everything. I also have my photographer now and the name of the DJ we hope to use. It all seems to be coming together.

Now for our wedding!

Today was Ashley's shower. I think it went pretty well. There were about 15 people here. Good thing there weren't many more because my house is a little small. But now that is over and the house is done, we can really start planning our wedding! I need to find a reception location so that is the next thing on the list. Hopefully I'll be able to find something next week and get it booked. Next weekend we're going to go register! YAY! I can't wait for that! Also, I need to talk to some hotels and get some rooms blocked off so I can put that in the save the dates. Those need to go out over Memorial Day weekend. Goodness there is lots to do.

The house is done!!!

This weekend Bliss and I **finally** finished the house!! We've lived in it for over a year and half and just now finished all the painting. I know, I know...its sad. We had most of it done. A few months ago I finally got a hair on my ass and got started. Two friends of ours, Jen & Gabe, came over one day and helped Bliss and I some. Then a couple weeks ago, Jen and my friend Ashley came over and helped me finish up almost everything. We painted until 2 am! Talk about some damn good friends. When we took the tape off in the red dining room, it took off all the paint so we had a ring of white up buy the ceiling. Oh was I pissed. But now that is fixed and we touched up a few other places that were looking nasty since the rest of the paint in the house is a year and a half old now. and its done!! Once I get it all cleaned up I'll post some pics of it.

This weekend I'm throwing a bridal shower for Ashley. Hence the rush to get the house done :) I'm excited about it! I hope that its a good one for her. Still trying to come up with games to play. I'm excited about being in her wedding too. The dress she picked out is great. And Bliss and I are both in her wedding, me the maid of honor and Bliss the best man, so we get to walk down the aisle as a test run...cool huh?

Our wedding plans haven't progressed much. I need to find a place for us to have the reception that will fit in to our budget and fit about 100 people. I'm going to call a few places tomorrow and see what I can find. Wish me luck!!
