Wedding/House Updates!

Another thing is officially checked off the never ending "To Do List"! :) :) I got all the save the date envelopes addressed and they go out in the mail today! They look sooo great--I'm so happy with them! We have also secured a place for the rehearsal dinner and hotel accommodations! We found a place to have the rehearsal dinner that was very affordable but nice. I have quickly learned with wedding planning that you just have to pick what you are going to focus on for the wedding otherwise it becomes out of control expensive. My dress fitting is tomorrow in Fort Wayne and then I think I'm in a pretty good situation with wedding stuff for a while, which is a great great feeling! Next up will be a tasting at the reception hall and ordering invitations once we know exactly what we will be serving in terms of food and ordering the favors/escort cards/table number cards. I'm in love with the website www.magnetstreetweddings.com Everything is so cute and not that expensive considering the fact that I don't have the time right now to make all this stuff.

I have pretty much everything moved out of the Warsaw house except for furniture. As soon as I know a closing date then I will have the furniture moved out. Last week/weekend I spent almost all my time moving stuff to the other house. It was quite a project but felt so good to have it done. I haven't even begun putting everything away at the other house. We are in the process of making plans to start some remodeling adventures at that house so that house will just be a mess for a while. As soon as we get the Warsaw house closed and me moved out we will probably have the contractors start on the Walkerton house starting with finishing the basement first. I'm so glad that we are accomplishing these major things now before it gets too close to our wedding because I want to enjoy this time as much as possible.

I'm really looking forward to this weekend because it's a three day weekend. Tonight I have another high school basketball game to attend--John Glenn vs. Bremen. Tomorrow mom and I will go to Fort Wayne for my fitting and I'm really looking forward to spending time with her! Tomorrow night we have a high school baseball fundraiser at John Glenn. (Supporting high school athletics is a big part of my life now considering who I'm marrying!). Sunday after church we're having lunch with my mom and Grandma in Rochester then have a birthday party in South Bend for Pat's Great Grandma who will be 99! Monday I plan to sleep in, work on grad school, organize stuff at the Walkerton house, and attend another high school bball game!
