I CAN'T WAIT

I am super crazy amazingly excited for a couple of reasons. First off, on Saturday I have an appointment with a baker to discuss making my cake. Second, a few friends/family members have recently found out they are pregnant!! Third, my cousin Rose is ENGAGED to her fiance Ben!! This week has been full of exciting news! I have lost about 5 lbs this week thanks to my new gym membership, and I've also added a little color to my skin! lol. With the weight loss tho I think I'm going to have to get my ring sized down...it's good news, but also kinda sad..I <3 my ring! Today I woke up 15 minutes before I had to clock in at work...man that was stressful...but the day ended up turning out ok. After work I ate at Extreme Pita with my coworker LaRae and bought some delicious Chobani yogurts! YUMM! Now, I've put together my shopping list and gone coupon hunting. Tomorrow is PAYDAY!! Whatever doesn't go towards bills will go to the wedding fund. We are well on our way for savings, right on track! I'm hoping we can save some money by making our own centerpieces, corsages, bouquets, and such...I really want to be able to afford a honeymoon getaway! Disney World would be AMAZING!!! Anyways, besides working out and stressing over my ring coming close to sliding off, things are going great! =D

Lots to update!

Wowza! Where to begin? We have been engaged for 2 months and 1 day and have already planned a LOT! First things first, we are getting married on June 16, 2012 at First Lutheran Church in Fargo, ND at 5pm. The reception will be immediately following the ceremony at the Avalon. Our bridal party consists of 3 girls and 3 guys on each side and then 4 ushers, 2 guest book/gift ladies, 2 cake cutters, and our immediate family members helping with the receiving line.  We plan on getting all of the formal pictures done before the ceremony so people don't have to wait around much for us to eat. We have decided to have Cory's aunt Theresa Pikula do our wedding photos, which will save money and keep more family involved. Jessica's aunt Ann has offered to help make our corsages, boutonnieres and boquets using these great rainbow roses in our wedding colors! They are one of the many things Jessica has decided to splurge on. We have an appointment in 2 weeks with the bakers at Quality Bakery to discuss making our cake. I'm not gonna give away the surprise there =D. We still have to explore our options as far as DJ's or bands go..hmmm. We have most of our gifts to our wedding party members chosen and Cory's dad offered to throw the grooms/rehearsal dinner. Jess is working on losing about 30 lbs before going dress shopping...we'll see if she can stay away from the licorice =D. Let's hope this goes off without a hitch. lol
