I am off work today so I went invitation shopping! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, but it was so hot out I got a headache from being in the car. Ugh I am going to lie down now. I will catch up with everyone later...I think I figured out a super cheap way to do the invitations by printing them ourselves and by adding some of our flair to it. I refuse to pay more then 100 dollars for invitations.
I decided on the colours for the wedding. It's going to be spring green/cream/and bright pink. I love peonies and it's one of the flowers I have tattooed on me and because the bloom in June my Grandma brought them to my Mom in the hospital when I was born so I am going to use them as much as possible. (even though my wedding is in March. lol)
It's all becoming so real! I told my parents and they helped me with the guest list including all of my Dad's 7 brothers and sisters. curse him for having such a huge family. I know a lot of them won't come because they all hate each other and most of them can't be in the same room as the other one but I have to invite them all as to not further put anyone's nose out of joint.
We found out about the travel waiver for my Dad and it can take up to <b>2 years</b> to get, but hopefully someone will be smiliing on us and we will be able to get a waiver for him in time. If not we will have to just have a party here. I was thinking a Jack and Jill shower rather then just a shower for me.
My baby is going to be here in 5 days! I am so excited I can't wait! I am in love, love, love, love, love. I went to the library and got some books about do it yourself weddings, and weddings for dummies! lol I also got a book with vow ideas and I think I wrote our vows already. ha ha i guess as long as Mr. Texas agress to them. :)
Ps all of this has insipired me to drink less, try and save money, and just generally be healthier. I did pretty good with eating this weekend, and I went for a run and an hour and a half walk. I am down about two pounds from my Friday weigh in already.
Hope everyone had a great weekend and is having a good Monday!
