Update

Things are getting busy in the non-wedding planning world.  My last semester of school has turned out to be a lot of work.  We had an ice storm which means I got to work 16 hour night shifts for a week.  Needless to say I haven't gotten much done for the wedding.  I did manage to go vintage shopping with my mom last weekend and I think I got a dress for the rehearsal dinner :)  I need to accessorize now!  She also showed me the ring bearer pillow she made, it's awesome!  The top is the lace from her wedding dress!!  How cool is that?!  I will try to keep updating on MOB accomplishments, but I will not have time to do anything for at least another month.  Enjoy the rest of winter everyone!

Save the Dates are out!

We mailed the Save the Dates this weekend and people are already getting them in the mail!  :)  I guess that means it's official!  All of our hard work has paid off, now on to the invites!  We also did some shopping this weekend and bought more frames for me to paint, and the jars for the sand ceremony.  Seems like we still have so much to do, but things are definately getting done!

Cupcakes!

I hate wedding cake.  It's always dry, plain, and expensive.  When we got engaged the last thing I wanted to do was shop for the wedding cake.  Then I started seeing that people were having cupcakes, I thought that was fun.  You can have more flavors and everyone gets their own!  Still, I figured I would not enjoy the selection process.  I never was a big fan of cake, birthdays I always had pie.  Then we went to Main Street Cupcakes...  They totally changed my outlook on cake.  I was in love.  They have amazing flavor combinations, we have many favorites!  Thanks to getting a KitchenAid stand mixer for Christmas I have been making my own too.  I am now obsessed with cupcakes (not good for the wedding diet)!  They are so cute and flavorful :)  I suggest if you live anywhere near Rocky River or Hudson OH, you check out Main Street Cupcakes!

Save the Dates!

MOB and I have been working on the Save the Dates.  It was a lot of work, but good practice for the invites!  There are soo many good ideas out there, but I think we picked a pretty good one.  I will post pics once they are sent out.  We are waiting on the magnets to come in from the photographer and then we will send!  I have been working on other small projects, such as painting a big C, framing pictures, buying decorations.  We also decided on the tables numbers and finalized the center pieces.  I am trying to get all the DIYs done in the winter while I am stuck in the house!  I signed Dave and I up for a registry party at Crate and Barrel in March.  That should be fun! :)  School started yesterday, so I will be a little busier for the next few months.  Last Semester!!  I can't wait to be done in May!

Christmas

Christmas night was at our house.  I had fun cooking and decorating before everyone came.  Addam and Tara were up from VA for the weekend.  Most of the wedding party was there.  We had a lot of fun.  The women even got a chance to get away and talk wedding.  We decided what to do for my veil.  Can't wait to see it!  Hope everyone had a good Christmas and Welcome to 2011!  We are getting married in 2011!! :)
