Wedding dreams Apr 14

For the past week or so every night I’ve ended up having some dream that is wedding related.  One night I was attending another knottie’s wedding.  A couple of nights ago there was a knottie get together and we were all there in our wedding dresses.  Last night, well last night I know there was something wedding related but for the lift of me I can’t remember.  That’s pretty uncommon since I normally always remember my dreams.

I feel like I have tons of dreams each night some more random then others.  Like the other night after the get together I was in an office but people were flying planes and Charlie Sheen was flying one.  I never really saw him but it was mentioned that he was flying and he was all over the place.  Not really such a shocker.  Or last night, the non wedding dream was about me going on a cruise but I had no ID.  Somehow I was let on the ship but I was trying to avoid staff so they wouldn’t see I didn’t have identification.  My dreams are super weird most of the time.  I just wish I could remember the wedding related dream from last night.  Oh well.

1 month people, ONE MONTH! Apr 13

You all should have seen this coming.  Somehow I did not see this coming, at least until I got to work and went to update my countdown on the wall.  That’s right, 1 month!!!!  HOLY COW!!!!   In exactly 1 month M and I will be married.  YAY!

So I emailed our wedding coordinator on Monday, yes Monday, to see if I could get a copy of wedding ceremony.  But apparently this is like asking for some random act of Congress because “Sandals has this down to a science” and “it’s a month out and girls start to get all bridezillay.”  GRRRRRRRRRR!  Yes both of these were said to me during one conversations TODAY.  As I sat there holding my “bridezilla” tongue I wanted to scream at someone and ask how damn hard it is to get a ceremony copy.  I mean come on, I CANNOT be the first person in the history of “down to a science” to ask for this.  To make matters worse right after I have this conversation I see on my wedding board that another bride received her, wait for it………..CEREMONY copy today!!!!!!

I seriously don’t see why this is such a hard thing to get a copy of.  Or answers about it to be honest.

And I guess this soon-to-be bridezilla will continue to wait a few more days and then you will be able to remove the “soon to be” because heads are going to ROLL!  Roll I tell you!!!!

The sucky blog Apr 12

With 1 month and 1 day left I have no idea what to blog about today.  I might could write about the wedding coordinator who has yet to respond to my email from yesterday.  Or the fact that she has yet to respond to the follow up email I sent today.  Hmmm, annoying much?  Yes.  I am slightly annoyed she has not responded.  Granted it’s nothing pressing but still it’d be nice to get a few answers to my questions.

The days feel like they are starting to fly by yet I just can’t imagine the day it will all be here.  I don’t think it has hit me yet.  I’m sure it will soon. 🙂

The DIY continues Apr 11

Over the weekend I knocked a few more thing off my DIY list.  One being a cute “E” key chain.  I bought some supplies last week and last night I finally sat down to make it.  It only took about 30 mins and BAM!  New key chain, that I use in 32 days.  Or longer since I won’t be able to use it till we get back.  But anyhoo I think it’s quite cute.

I also finished our guest book last night.  I think this will be a very cute idea and should be more personal then the traditional “K and M were here, congrats!” post.  We will ask our guests to provide well wishes or advice and then we will add pics from the trip later.  No pics for this one 😉

I haz…. Apr 06

a WEDDING BAND!!!!  And a wedding dress – yep I managed to remember to actually pick it up.  Go me!

I stalked my Fedex tracking this morning and while I wasn’t paying attention it was delivered.  As soon as I realized this I ran downstairs to get my box.  I must say I LOVE my new band.  It is perfect.  The diamonds are just the right size and sparkle beautifully.  It only took 5 months for me to figure out I could order something that I would love.  Lesson learned….maybe 😉

I must say I am incredibly impressed with Blue Nile.  They really have exceeded my expectations.  I know it feels odd to buy such jewelry from an online store but their rings really are great.   M also got my engagement ring there and both my rings are amazing.  I really can’t say enough good things.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.

Happy Wednesday!

Scatterbrain much? Apr 05

Crap!  I completely forgot to go pick up my dress this afternoon.  I literally JUST remembered I was supposed to run by this afternoon.  Ughh!  I just called and I can pick it up tomorrow.  Can we say scatterbrain?

I was about to start my blog when I remembered.  Today has been super crazy.  My coworker is out due to family issues and for some reason everything needed be done today.  My boss asked me to look over his cases.  This is on top of the large amount of orders I was already working on.  Then I was asked to do process disco’s which normally are a big deal and get done when they get done.  GRRRR!  And of course everyone had some sort of problem.  After sitting at my desk literally eating and working I wished I had decided to run to Michael’s for a few minutes.  And now I’ve forgotten about my dress.  *shakes head*

I was about to write about our weekend since M and I were pretty busy and productive.  Friday night, AFTER my fitting, I came home and M and I began to paint the foyer.  The whole house needs to be painted so slowly we will work our way from the first floor to the third floor.  Or M will decide we can hire someone. 😉  *hint hint, nudge nudge*

I picked out a lovely shade of mocha ?  khaki ? chocolate milk ?  It is the same color we painted the laundry room and I am in love.  It is such a nice shade and it looks amazing against the white crown molding.

Hopefully tomorrow I won’t forget anything….

I might finally get a wedding band…. Apr 04

Over the weekend I talked to M about my wedding band and how I wasn’t sure this was the one.  I knew when it finally came in it wasn’t exactly what I was expecting.  I guess I was hoping to feel different but I never did.  Now with the thought of it coming back this week I just couldn’t take it.  This is NOT my wedding band.  And it has been such a pain that I don’t want it.

So now I have 5 weeks left to find a ring.  Awesome right?  Sure is when anything I might want would need to be special ordered due to my insanely small fingers.  I decided to look at the place M bought my engagement ring from and I found a few rings in my price range that I really liked.  I also found a coupon code to knock a little more off the price AND they were offering free upgraded shipping if you ordered today.

This morning I called the store I ordered my other ring from and asked for our deposit back.  After going back through all the details with the store manager and finally telling him I did not want another ring, I wanted my money back he obliged.  Thirty minutes of my life I will never get back but anyway it’s done now.  Hopefully I will never have to deal with this store again.

Now back to the other store.  I found 2 I really liked that were quite different from each other.  I decided I had all day to make the decision, and really it didn’t have to be made at all today.  Finally after some thinking I decided on one ring.  Honestly it is similar in style to the custom ring but a little different.  I used my coupon code and with everything said and done, the new ring only ended up being $30.00 more.  🙂  And it will be here WEDNESDAY!

So after 5 MONTHS of dealing with the jewelry store here in town I will have my ring in less then 2 days.  It will be shipped to my office and I will finally have a wedding band.  After all of the ups and downs and waiting it will be here.  I have to say I was pretty worried with the thought I might not be able to find something in time.   I really wish I had been able to see the ring in person first but my engagement ring is great and I’m sure this one will be as well.

Now I can anxiously await for Wednesday and the Fedex guy!
