Catching up

Where do I start? SO much has happened.


WEDDING PLANS
Plans have been going good. We found a church and that is booked. We booked West Manor. We got a Trolley instead of a limo. :( I really wanted the H2 Hummerzine, but it was just way too expensive. But I was hoping maybe we could get an H2 hummer (normal size) just for us to drive off in after the reception. I've been on theknot.com 24/7 getting GREAT ideas!! I have so many ideas I won't even be able to use them all. But I've been having so much fun gathering ideas. I bought my first item for the bridemaids gifts last night! They are little magnet pen or pencil holders for the refridgerator. Only a $1.00 at Target. There was also some other things i wanted to get at Target that were monogramed but I couldn't find everyone's letter.


WEDDING DRESS
David's Bridal called and said my dress was in. So we went back to pick it up and I told them that after I saw pictures of me in it, I hated it.


So they told me I could exchange it. I told her that I was looking for more of an A-line dress that had lots of sparkle and detail and had no tulle on the outside of it. Basically opposite of the dress I originally got! And we tried on about 6 dresses and each one I told her what I liked and didn't like about all of them. Well she had one dress that I really didn't like and I said I don't like all the embroidery on the skirt, but I love the bodice because of all the detail and sparkle. She perked up and said "I just remembered, I have one more to show you!" She went and got it and I put it on and I KNEW that was the dress! I'm so glad she remembered she had it.


It's a beautiful dress. I can't wait to wear it again! So that is a big relief!! Oh and instead of having red on the outside of the dress, everyone seems to be doing that these days, I'm going to dye my tulle red so guests will only see it every now and then.


TOWNHOUSE
We are just waiting for the contract to be written up. We already told him what rooms we wanted painted. He was supposed to meet with his lawyer this week to go over the contract, so we're just waiting to hear back from him. I hope we can sign the papers this weekend! I can't wait to move in there.


Everything seems to be going good now nothing bad to report, except my computer at home has been acting funny. It keeps bringing up an error message. grrrr that stupid thing is still new!!

GOOD NEWS

THEY ACCEPTED OUR OFFER!!!! We are going to own a townhouse!! I'm sooo extremely excited!!! I can't even believe it. This is such a huge step. Parker and I are getting married and we will own a townhouse. I can't wait to move in and make it my own!!

Keep forgetting

Grrr I keep forgetting that I have this thing!!

Soooooooo. Its now February, time is really going by fast! I can't believe I'm only 5 months away from my wedding and I JUST NOW found a ceremony location and reception site. That sure is a weight off my back. I'm really not sure about my wedding dress though. I was content with until Tracy sent me pictures of me in it and seeing it again I was a little disappointed. Oh well, its a beautiful dress.

Parker and I started townhouse hunting. We found one that we LOVED but we just can't afford to buy it straight out. The mortgage payment would have been way to high for us to handle. So Mrs. Mills found a townhouse that was actually about the same amount, but the guy seemed willing to work out a deal so that we could afford the monthly payments. So Mrs. Mills put together a package and made him an offer yesterday. I really hope he accepts it, because I'm kind of excited to move in there. I wasn't at first. At first I didn't like it because it wasn't the other townhouse that I wanted. But Parker really liked it, so I started focusing on all the good things about this townhouse for example:

-3 bathrooms
-walk-in- closet
-big closet space in the kitchen
-storage shed
-end unit
-3 bedrooms
-AFFORDABLE
-no major fix-it jobs


So now we are just waiting to hear back. Hopefully he accepts the offer Mrs. Mills wrote up. If he does, McKayla and I will be moving March 1st! YAY!!
