Love!! fall weather?

Mocha, how far up are you???

Congrats Tris!!! Okay ladies, I have to show you an updated picture...it's been like 3 hours since I took the last one of the back deck...but here you go! Looks like we won't be BBQ-ing soon!

Ooh, that's so cold! I couldn't imagine... it's about 18* F here...

See Friday/Saturday we had rain and a lot of it. Yesterday morning it switched over to snow, and it hasn't stopped since about 9AM yesterday!

no smoking snow or rain?

I keep telling people that it can snow all it wants right now. As long as I can get out in April, I really don't care! This snowfall was a little much though! At least they closed work so I get to hangout at home with FI....and try to finish my music list! I've been putting it off every day!

dislike granola bars?

I'm so glad to hear that so many of you got a lot done!! It's such a great feeling, isn't it?! Brandy, I love the dresses you picked up! I really like that second one! Laura, I love your dress! It is absolutely beautiful!! I wanted to share what I woke up to this morning.... The snowmobiles are buried in the snow.... We got about 2' of snow last night! This is looking out our 3-season porch on the back deck. I'm really looking forward to Mexico BTW!

Glad your shower went well!! For my ziplock bags, I bought the store brand bags at the local grocery store that are completely clear, no writing...

blue eyes plain m&m's or peanut m&m's?

No, I just couldn't do it! Would you ever go to a boxing match?

Like Cake Boss (on TLC)?

Greys, thank you for the information on the LOVE trays!! Michele, how was your shower?? I'm sure it was wonderful...I hope at least!!! This morning FI and I went to two locations to have the AHR, while driving through the rain, mix of rain and snow, and finally snow, we decided that we aren't too sure about having our AHR outside near the lake, in case it's crappy weather and then it could get cold. There is limited space under cover, which would be a VERY bad thing!! So, this afternoon I was able to call two other locations that are indoors, and for the one I'd prefer to have it at, their ONLY date available for three months is the date we just decided to change the AHR to! So, the guy who does the booking is suppose to call me tomorrow morning!! I hope it works and is "meant to be"!!!! Also, my mother got two dresses yesterday, because she's not sure which she'd rather have... so, that's another thing DONE!!!

smooth rice or pasta?

broken nose : boxing

Never had them, but I think I'd LOVE them!! Vera Bradley bags?

oops! By goregous, I meant gorgeous of course!

I feel like I've missed so much again! Greys, I like the ribbon around the container with the label of what the candy is, the best. That's they one that was used in the L-O-V-E picture. Also, if you find those trays, can you tell me where? I've been looking for them for our candy buffet we are doing at the AHR also. Tris, your dress is goregous! I absolutely love it! Lisa, congrats on the weight lose, that is absolutely awesome! Michele, I'd love to take a look at the dresses. I know if it was me, I would probably wear the original dress (the one your mom picked) and do the other dress for the TTD. I know that means you have to take both, but if you are taking one...It's probably not much more to squeeze the second one in the same bag... Also, enjoy your shower!! I think my shower is in two weeks...but I'm not sure, it's a "secret"!!!! Meggers, check Michael's website...sometimes you can get them on there.... I'm going to probably go there tonight as well, so I'm going to try and find a coupon too...if not, I'll wait until tomorrow.

Awesome, thanks again for the info!! I don't really wear make-up so I have no real preference on how it is done... I'm also glad to hear you didn't miss the centerpieces. I'm think they would be a unnecessary expense so, I think I may just bypass them... Did you have flowers on any of the tables at the reception?

dislike peanut butter fudge?

Thanks ladies! When I talked to him earlier today I told him we were deciding this weekend, so we can call and make reservations Monday morning. So, either way, he's got a time limit!

Laine, thank you so much for the review and tips! I'm glad that even though there was a lack of communication you were able to still have a great day!! I'm so glad to hear that things went well with the iPod for both the ceremony and the reception, that's probably my biggest worry. Luckily we have already done the legal ceremony here, so ours is a "renewal of the vows" down there. Question, did you us the spa for hair/makeup?? I'm just curious as to how that was, if you did. It sounds like you had very much what we are having, with a few slight differences. I have also been thinking of doing some centerpieces...is it not worth it, do you think??? I think my final question is, how did things go with your cake? Did you get what you wanted? Or were you left wanting more in regards to the cake?

I wanted to also share, that for the last...24 hours I've been trying to find a place for our AHR. For the last...3-4 months I've been trying to get FI to settle on a location, so we could call and make reservations. I finally made a decision last week, and just called Wednesday, because that's when our photographer asked us to move the date (as mentioned before). Well, the location was unavailable for basically all but three weekends this summer, all of course days we are either out of town or busy with something else. Well, finally this morning I decided to look at a few other options, that I wasn't really that fond of, but I think I have decided on the place we are going to have the AHR, I'm just waiting for FI to give me the okay, this afternoon. I really shouldn't wait for his okay, since....his lack of ambition has put us here, but, I'm going to be nice and wait.... I'm just glad we have some really nice state parks close to home!

Laura, I love the bookmarks! They are so simple, but a great addition to the OOT Bags! Also, if I only had three more weekends to get stuff done, I think I would be TOTALLY freaking out... even if I didn't have a lot to do... Brandy, I love the Pandora Bracelet idea as gifts for your mom and her best friend. I'm sure they will love them! This weekend... I'm going shopping with my mom to find her a dress... and hopefully some stuff for myself! I WILL nail down our play list to get it off to one of the BMs husbands for him to help get us the songs.... I need to also come up with a seating chart, I think I'll try to do that. I have also been thinking about maybe doing some centerpieces. We will only have three tables total so it wouldn't take much... Since I don't really have anything else left to do, I may try to take on another task!
