STDs

Save the Dates went out Saturday morning! Yipeee!

We went with a vintage-themed postcard!

1) I had never heard of/received a STD "postcard" from another couple
2) It was cheaper on postage, which= saving money {$0.28}

We purchased 200 and hand typed them all using an old typewriter for a more vintage look.

Here's the front:


And, here's the back {with a little editing}


What do you think?!

monday blues.

So this past weekend ended the long awaited for, 3 solid months of deer hunting season that we get in the state of GA. It's always such a depressing time for us. I'm not sure whether it's due to the fact that we now have several months of free Saturday's with nothing to do, we won't get to have the every weekend friendly fellowship, or just the thought of not being able to run and gun outdoors in general...?

Regardless, it always seems soo gloomy when it finally comes to an end.

Speaking of gloomy, the weather today looks like this around our neck of the woods:

{Blah.}

Which calls for a well spent day indoors!

monday blues reason #3.....
school starts back tomorrow.

In some sense, it's actually somewhat rewarding to say that due to the fact that this is the start to my LAST semester of college!

Come May, I will be a 4-year College Nursing Graduate and upon taking my state boards will be a Registered Nurse before too long thereafter!

My day starts off tomorrow at 8am with non-other than a.......TEST.

Yes, you're right.
You're probably thinking, huh?
How is that possible? Her first day of class is tomorrow and she already has a test at 8am? 
Gosh, what time does her classes start? 12 o'clock midnight?? Geez.
How does she know what to study? Does she even know what it's over??
Haaa.
Yes, yes, no, no, yes, and yes.
Our test is over clinical calculations & medication administration. Prior to starting our clinical rotations, we must pass this test with a 90 or above average. We have 3 attempts to do so before we are unable to proceed with clinicals.
We have these exact tests at the beginning of every semester. 
Therefore, this will be my 4th semester taking them.
I'm hoping they will be a breeze!
Say a little prayer :)

On a happier note, I finalized and placed the order for our save-the-dates today with our photographer. 
{I'll be posting pics as soon as our guests begin to receive them in the mail- which should be sometime next week or so}.

#2- We are meeting with a wedding coordinator tonight to discuss day-of wedding details. 
Her and her staff will be in charge of the following:
-Coordinating rehearsal & wedding day {telling attendants when to walk, etc.}
-Setting up table linens & centerpieces at reception
-Lighting lanterns & candles at reception
-Setting up the bride & groom's cakes after ceremony
-Setting up and restocking candy buffet items as needed
-Helping tear everything down after reception

To brighten up these dampened spirits of mine, I'll end the post with this pretty picture :)
I can't WAIT for sunshine & summertime!


Can you?!

wedding wednesday's: cake tasting & dress fitting

240 days to go! 

There's not much going on in the wedding world around here lately. We've been busy working on guests favors & little what-nots, but that's about it. Our biggest concern at this point is reception catering and the wedding cakes. Last Wednesday we had appointment #2 with a separate cake caterer than previously. The place we went to actually made our engagement party cake and has made several, several cakes for several members of Cliff's family for years now. So, we knew the quality of the cake and how good it tastes already! We were just hunting for the best overall price! If you don't remember, a few months back I went to cake tasting #1 and my total was about $100 over budget.

Cake place #2 was $1 over budget.

I think we will go with the #2 option ;)

As you are currently reading, my Mother and I are on our way to Atlanta for my first dress fitting! Ahh!
It came in a few weeks ago and this is the first day we've had available to make a trip up there.
I truly hope it fits! Wouldn't that be something?!

Here's my checklist for the month of October:



Save-the-dates alreadyyyy?? I was thinking more like 6 months! 

How many months before did you send out save-the-dates?
