We are currently at our weekly hangout spot, therefore I’ll make it short and sweet.  We worked on invitation wording and contacted someone about pond estimates.  That’s about it. =D

We went shopping today.  I bought *hopefully* the last items for the invitations.  I didn’t work on them today though.  I’m reconsidering what dress I want.  I think my appointment on Thursday will involve trying on a few more things before I make a decision.  Had a fun day today though.  We had a water balloon fight after we got home.  We had promised the “spider monkey” a water fight and oh did he get one.  He was completely drenched afterwards and quite happy. 

Also, we *finally* had our gift exchange today that has been brewing since Christmas.  We were really slackers in that regard this year.  The monkey was really happy with a new array of kid kinex and real kinex plus 2 new legos robot things.  So, fun day all in all.  Long day though, hence the super late update. 

 I’m going to go sleep now… tomorrow I have invitations to design!!!

So, we went dress shopping this afternoon, as is evident from Michael’s post.  I was sad because my mommy was unable to go with at the last minute (T.T) That’s actually what motivated the taking of many a picture.  The final jacket thing over the ruffly bit is the closest to what I had envisioned in my brain.  But, I don’t feel like going through the effort to make the whole thing from scratch. 

Trying on a bunch of dresses though was REALLY tiring and the pain flared up again.  So, by the 2nd to last dress I was ready to be finished.  But, I wanted to try all the potentials I had picked.

I’m exhausted… I’m going to bed now.  I am happy that things are being accomplished.  Last night, I actually got a pretty good idea of how to do the invitations.  So, I’m one step closer to having invitations to send out next week.  Maybe, if I have an opportunity tomorrow, I will post about the invites.  Right now though, I’m going to sleep.

Not sure how many details I want to share but…

We are going to be doing some landscaping for the wedding.  Since the wedding will be at the house these will be home improvements.  We are in the final planning stages and will be doing most of the earthwork over spring break ( next week ).  Tomorrow I hope to go out and paint the grass so people know where to dig.

So… we’re working on invitations.  Can’t quite work it out though.  I’m going back to playing with colors and rubber stamps… I’m hoping before I sleep that I’ll have an idea I want to work with.

 We’re still tweaking the site.  Though, it is mostly the way we want it.  Yay!  Progress is good.

Ok, so… now we have changed our date back to 8 August 2008!  This is good because things won’t be so crazy hectic.  I do still plan on getting invitations out by the end of next week.  Now I have to redo my day count…. LOL

Today has gone well.  Had a lovely French test this afternoon… then Astro-Calc.  We spent some time working on the background for this page.  Maybe by the time I go to sleep it will be close to complete!  Played with the supplies for the invites a bit.  We have some ideas churning for that.  Also, I spoke with both my best friends today and made plans to get together later in the week.  Yay!  Actually progress is being made.  I’m so excited! 

Oh yeah, and I’m feeling (slightly) better today.

Well, today did not go at all the way one would expect.  I got up this morning and prepared to go to class when I started having lower abdominal pain.  7 hours later, I was out of the ER and found an ovarian cyst was the culprit.  Some resting followed. 

 I did manage to at least go buy the componants to create the invitations.  So, today wasn’t a total loss.  Tomorrow, I’ll try to actually work on them.  After the French test and Astrocalc class.

So, today has been mostly unproductive.  Well, that’s actually not true at all.  We had a great Easter dinner with my parents.   Several plans and ideas were altered, stream-lined to some degree.  Everything will now happen at one location and my daddy will prepare food.  Also, landscape plans were discussed.  The reason the day has felt unproductive is due to my lack of even starting on the invitations (because its Easter and all the stores were closed), and discussions dealing with attire being revised.  My dress is going to be the major problem.  I have some very specific ideas in mind… but since I wanted to surprise Michael with the “embellishments” I can’t tell him what the “exact” plan is.  At the same time, he has some ideas of what he thinks is an ultra-pretty dress.  He definitely has good taste, but the “secret plan” has to be doable.  So, we’ll see what happens.  At the moment, the guest list and invitation is top priority!  Gotta get them started tomorrow!  HAVE TO!!!!
