Playing Catch Up!

So we're almost through July and let me tell you...it has been CRAZY!! Wedding stuff has been keeping us busy! Not just my wedding stuff, but we still have 2 more weddings to attend before our's gets here! And with that comes Bridal Showers and Bachelorette Parties...mine and the other 2!! On top of that, I have to work as many weekends as possible because there are going to be A LOT in the next few months that I can't work! ARGH!! And it doesn't help that our Director/Boss switched companies, leaving just myself and Tara to man the office.

Anyway, so we have 75 days left! EEK!! I think I'm getting to the point that Josh has been at for like 3 months now! Is it time for this wedding yet??? I'm ready to get this things going!! There still seems like there's so much to do! Mom should be getting the invitations ordered in the next day or so, so I can start addressing those. Still have to come up with a center piece idea...NOT EXPENSIVE!! I had this cute one that we were renting, but it turned out to be a little more than we need to spend. Actually, everything seems to be a little more than we need to spend! And I still need to get the programs put together, but we can't do that until Father gives us the book so we can pick out songs and readings. And I thought he would give that to us when were finished meeting with him, but that may not be for a while! ARGH! AND the dress place said the bridesmaid dresses wouldn't be in until Mid-September. Do they know that my wedding it October 11th?!?!?!?!? If they aren't in by the beginning of September, there's going to be some issues!!

Other than that, everything's great! My bridal shower is in 2 weekends and I can't wait to see everyone! Things just keep coming!

Josh is doing well at work. He should be getting a position title name change sometime in the near future, which will make him a Process Engineer! YAY!! Otherwise he's just busy trying to keep me calm and not stressed! He does a great job at that! We got to stay in Indy this past weekend and that was nice! But the next 2 weekends we're out of town and busy for like the next 8 weekends...whether it be here in Indy or somewhere else throughout the state! EEK! AND...Josh's sister IS DEFINITELY coming for my bridal shower! We're both so excited!! YAY!!

Ok, that's all for now!

Our weekend

I hope everyone had a good 4th! We had a fun time visiting family and playing games! Every year for the 4th my family goes to my Aunt and Uncle's farm to mingle and play games. It's a long held tradition! It started out the July before my mom was born back in 1957 on my grandparent's farm. It's pretty much like a family reunion. My Grandma and Grandpa's siblings and their offspring come and get together for the annual softball game. We play softball in a Cornfield. Everyone plays! If you can walk, you're playing! Little kids are freebies though! After we play that we come back on the hay wagon and the grilling begins! After we eat we play sack races, wheel barrow races and tug of war! This year my cousin Nick started a new game. We started a Euchre tournament! Too bad I got out in the 1st round! Josh and his partner made it to the last round, but were beaten by my cousin Jessica and Aaron! Nick gave out trophies and they won the prize money! After all of that, we do sparklers for the little kids and when it gets dark the older boys start to light off fireworks! Every year it is a great time! This year was no exception!

Saturday Josh and I helped Mom scrape the house. We did that ALL day long! And then prepared for meeting with our priest the next day. Sunday we scraped...or Josh and Mom scraped for a little while. I needed a NAP from the long weekend!

All in all it was a great weekend! Quite a bit of wedding stuff was accomplished! This month is going to be crazy with wedding stuff! Poor Josh! The good news...I think Josh's sister will be able to come out for my bridal shower! I'm so excited and I know Josh can't wait to see her and Triston (his nephew)! AND I just scheduled my 1st dress fitting! EEK! I new it would start going fast after we got into the double digits, but there's LOTS to do!

Hope everyone has a great week!

A little bit of everything...

It's almost time to get out of here! I'm excited for that, but I don't want to go mess with the traffic! I have such road rage! Good thing I'm a calm person and I only do the yelling in my car so that no one hears me! I may have to have Josh drive down to Mom's tonight. I'll be flustered enough just trying to get home from work!

That's something I need to work on...by the time I get home, I'm so frustrated from the traffic that I forgot that I was excited to get home and have Josh come over! And by the time he gets over to the condo he's ready to be in my face kissing me and giving me attention...which I LOVE! I just need to calm down from the drive because being aggravated from that and then having Josh immediately in my face is a bad combination! By the time I calm down from the drive and am ready for the attention, he's ready to relax and not pay as much attention to me! Stinkin!

Anyway, so we're heading down to Mom's tonight to help with some cooking for the 4th. We will definitely be doing some scraping while we're down there. Mom has 2 sides of the house to scrape and paint BEFORE the wedding! ARGH! For some reason we're doing the easy, not so visible side 1st...my brother's good idea. Anyway, Josh will be a pro at scraping and painting by the time the wedding comes!

I can't wait to play softball and eat all the good food tomorrow! It's supposed to rain, but I hope not during our softball game! It rained last year but not until it was dark and time for fireworks...but the fireworks must go on and they did! So I'm sure they will again this year!

100 days until the wedding! Tomorrow we will be down in the double digits...WOOHOO!!!

Have a great weekend!

Starting a little EARLY...

So I've been wanting to start a blog on here for a while, but was going to wait until I had the family thing going...and by that I mean married! Since that's still 101 days away, I've decided to start it now!

Right now were in the middle of wedding planning...or maybe we're a little more towards the end! All the big stuff is taken care of and now it's just the little details mostly. I'm trying to get the guest list finalized and need to finish getting the rest of the addresses from Mom and Josh. July is going to be a busy month of trying to start on the finishing touches. I know Josh is ready for all this to be done and over with! He just wants to get to the married part! He wants it to be the day after the wedding so he can relax and be done hearing about all the wedding stuff! Poor boy, he still has a little ways to go!

Work is going well for both Josh and me! We're both pretty busy and enjoy what we're doing! I am excited about the 4th of July and glad tomorrow is the last day of the work week this week! I can't wait to go eat all the good food and play all of the fun games!

Have a great 4th and be safe!
