Wedding Wednesday

I missed last week. I didn't post, because I had nothing new to report. This week I have started a new project. More of that in a minute.
First of all. How many posts have come and gone with nothing but pictures of things?! I thought I would start with a picture of us! =)
Also, we got our first present today! My shower in Southern Indiana is quickly approaching and my friend Karen couldn't make it. So she gave me this today!

I can't WAAAAIT to open it!

Now, on to the new project I have going on. I have been working really hard on the table numbers. I wanted them to be cheap, cute and different. Below is what I can come up with.

Believe it or not I have been working REALLY long on these. I probably went the wrong way about doing this, but once I started I couldn't stop. I have individually cut out each letter in white, and then traced it on the black paper and cut it out.


Jeff and I teamed up and made the base for the numbers. They are made of blocks of wood with wire. Looking at these simple numbers makes me wonder why I have spent 7+ hours and have like 4 left?!?!? Probably because I wanted to save $10. hahaha

Dental Hygiene

The last time we took Sherman in to get his hair cut they told us we needed to start brushing his teeth. Today we went to the store and bought some toothpaste and brush.

Here we have a before smile! haha
The toothpaste tastes like poultry. Sherman didn't mind it too much.

He is now all squeaky clean and his breath smells lovely!

Wedding Wednesday

Look to the right of the screen. Do you see that picture of the girl running towards the boy? Yeah... We are less than 4 months now!! I just can't believe how fast this has all gone.

Right now we are in Bridal Shower mode. I came home yesterday and this was in my mail.
Here is what honestly went through my head. "Oh cute, mom went through a TON of work to put everyone's individual name on the invites." It wasn't until I went to show it to Jeff that everyone's invitation said my name. haha I have obviously never have had a shower. Yes, I have have been showered with water, but not gifts. hehehe I can't believe it is time for bridal showers to start happening. The next wedding shower I go to will be mine! =)

I am really excited for all the wedding festivities to begin. I will probably say this 1,000 times but Jeff and I are so lucky to have lots of people who love us and are helping out with the wedding.

Thanks

With mother's day coming up, I would like to take a second to thank the two mom's in our lives. Jeff and I have been very blessed to have such great mom's. They are very caring, loving and always there for us. They have shown us how to raise a great family and to have grace while doing it! We could have asked for better families to be raised with. You were there when we were young to pick us up when we fall and to heal our boo boo's. Now you are there when we need advice, a dog sitter, or an ear to listen. Thanks for all that you do for us. Happy Mother's Day! We love you.

Wedding Wednesday

I have been REALLY excited to post this one this week. I convinced Jeff to give me one whole day last weekend to work on wedding-y things. He promised, he wouldn't do ANYTHING but wedding stuff. He lived up to his promise for sure. We got so much accomplished. It was a great breath of fresh air. He was an awesome help.

The biggest thing we did was buy Jeff's wedding band. Some of you know the headache we have gone through to try and find this. He doesn't make decisions easy and would always end up in a grumpy mood at the end because I don't wait to make my decisions. We finally decided on a ring for him. He wanted to think about it again, but I knew, if we didn't purchase it that day, it would be another couple of months before anything was bought.

The man at the store said we had 60 days to return it if he doesn't like it. I told Jeff as I was buying it...."Now we need to go home and have you wear this tonight to make sure you like it." HAHAHA funniest thing ever.

We were watching a movie. I totally forgot he had the ring on and I look over and his left hand is dangling down from the couch as if not attached to his body. I looked for a min. and realized, it was his ring. I asked him about it, and his reply... "I don't know what to do with my hand anymore." haha It's like he puts the ring on and his left hand is paralyzed. Hysterical! We might need him to wear it around the house more often so he doesn't look so silly on the wedding day. Or maybe not, because it is great entertainment!

Here is a picture of him posing with the ring. He is too cool for school.

I will tell you. I looked over again (I do this a lot because he is just so handsome) during the movie and he was petting Sherman. I got a flash of the ring and my stomach turned with excitement. This is totally real. He will be attached to me forever. It was very surreal. Who knew a little ring could make me excited for the wedding all over again.
