NEW HOUSE!!!

Hi Everyone. Just wanted to say that Hank and I have officially found a place to live. I will be moving to Cloverdale starting August 15th. Hank will be moving in after the wedding.

ITS A BOY!!!!

Cat and Adam welcomed a new baby boy into the world on July 20, 2007 at 3:20 pm. He weighed 6lbs 4oz. Both Mommy and baby are doing well.

It's been a long time

Okay so I know that it has been quite a while since I have posted on here. not a lot has really happened in the last while. We have finally finished pinpointing our location for the wedding. It is going to be on Hank's cousins farm. I'm sure it's going to be a blast. Just hope the weather is going to be beautiful. If not there is a small hall up there where we can do the whole thing. The girls dresses have come in. Steph and Cat have tried theirs on already. They look great just a little big. I was very inpressed how Cats fit as she is pregnant and sizing was a bit of a guessing game. So that's the update hope everyone is well.

6 Months to Go!!!!!

So there's 6 months today to go till Hank and I get married. Oh I''m so excited! Things are really coming together. I'm starting to get stressed a little though. Just gotta finalize all of the big stuff and the stressing is over. WOHOO!!!!

Valentines Day

So Hank has never been too into Valentines day but I requested we at least do something. He brought me flowers. They are so nice... no Roses (i think they are so typical) just a nice bouquet of different coloured flowers. I love it! I got Hank a box full of goodies (truck magazine, gummie frogs, worms and peaches, some pringles chips.... etc.) it's a box for relaxation. I think he liked it. Well I hope all of you had a great day yesterday too... whether you celebrated VD or not. :D

Photographer

Okay. So we want to have as many options as possible. Does anyone know of a good photographer who works for relativly cheap? We want awesome photos. We are just realizing just how expensive they are. Let me know.

Tuxes!!

So yesterday the guys went to go do a tux fitting. I'm so excited. They are all going to look really good. the tuxes are pinstriped. Something Hank really likes. Then they are also renting the fancy, "shiny" runners. We figure that would be the best thing for them if we end up having an outdoor wedding.

Excitement!

So yesterday I went to the Bridal store to go and make a payment on my dress and talked to a lady there about paying for my dress. She said it was fine to pay the rest over a couple of months without intererest. It came in much earlier than they even expected so they won't be too upset about it. I also got to try my dress on. It's so beautiful!!! It fits like a glove. Don't really need any alterations to it either. Just the bustle. WOHOOO!!!!! I'm so excited!!!! Time is flying by really quickly.

Last night I got a call from someone at the Wedding show that we went to in Langley last Sunday. I won a door prize!!! I got to choose who I wanted the prize from but I have no idea what it is. I was just told I would like it. I chose Razors Hair Design as I have been talking to them about doing mine and the girls' hair for my wedding day. They come to you so it takes more stress off me on that day.

Rant

ARRGGGGGHHHH. It was snowing lots yesterday. My drive home took me 2 hours from Richmond. The police had all the hills blocked off to even remotely get close to my house. Man was I frustrated. I'm glad that I bought a snack so that I could at least eat something as I was starving by the time 6:00 came around.

The drive to work this morning took me an hour when it normally takes half. Oh well what do you do?

That's my rant

My Dress!!!!

Oh my goodness... My dress is here.... My dress... the one I get to wear on my wedding day... not just to try on... Okay So I was told it was going to take close to 6 months but guess what... It's here. I can go in anytime to try it on. I'm so excited. I haven't figured out if I want to get it altered at the store or if I want to take it somewhere else and get it done. Anyone got an opinion or know of anyone who is really good at sewing and cheap?

Let me know

New Years at the Shore's

Cat just sent me some pictures from our New Years gathering at their house. We opened Christmas gifts at the same time. The first picture is of willow starting to open her the little people farm that we got her. she did really well at pulling on that paper. The third is me "trying" to read the christmas book we got her this year. I think it's a little grown up for her but the store is awesome. And them Willow and me smiling nice for the camera.

I also had to throw in this picture of Willow being all grown up on the bike she got for Christmas from mom and dad. She can't reach the pedals yet but boy does she love to be on there.

Bridesmaid Dresses

So after spending 3 hours, some tears and a little bit of frustration at the bridal shop a couple of weeks ago, the girls all put deposits on their dresses! I'm so excited! Things are finally starting to come together. I think I picked a good group of girls for the wedding party. I hope that they all like the dress that was picked out. If not you guys are good liars. :P Cat and Jen picked out the dress and Steph and Katelyn ended up having to go along with it. (sorry you two if you didn't like it) I love the dress they picked. It complements my dress quite nicely. Still have 2 more dresses to purchase. One for Jasmine (my Jr. Bridesmaid) and one for Willow (my flower girl) If anyone sees anything cute along their travels please let me know so I can check it out.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPY NEW YEAR!!!

I know I'm a little late but I haven't really been able to go on a computer to wish any of you. Thanks for checking out my blog.
