Hmmm. Sooo the save-the-dates were sent out. Here is what they look like, sans the scrapbook cardstock and magnets they're mounted on:
I've received our cake topper. So cute from Colorado Carla. It looks like this:
Her hair is custom painted brown, but I'm going to paint her shoes red and paint on Dustin's rank on the sleeves. :)
I went to Britex fabrics in San Francisco to get started on some surprises for my bridesmaids. I haven't figured out what I'm going to give my bridesman and our officiant. One thing I do know is that Jesh is going to be the most hilarious reverend of EVER. I can't wait.
I need to get started on the invitations because... dun dun dun, we will hopefully be moving at the end of June and with decorating a new home and my new job, I won't have a TON of time to work on putting these invitations together! I ordered some pocket-folds from Cards&Pockets and have a ton of great ideas for how I want to put them together. I will post the finished product.
We're looking into hotel accommodations at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Suisun on the waterfront. We're hoping to get a group rate for our friends and family coming from out of town. Also, we have a rental car connection for people coming out to the wedding. We can get you some sweet discounts there, and we can always pick you up from the airport. :)
Last night we completed our ring kit for our wedding bands. We bought them from Fabuluster. These are examples of the rings we will be receiving. It was a really fun experience to get the prints and I'm going to send them off today!
We celebrated Shelby's first birthday last weekend and it was great to see so many family members and friends come together for the little girl that brought us so much closer together. It made me very excited for the upcoming events. :-)
When we move into our home, hopefully in early July, we'll be having a housewarming, and then obviously our October wedding! We hope that you all don't get tired of celebrating good times with us because we can't wait to return the favor for you guys!
Speaking of our house, you can check out the listing on Zillow; here is a quick picture of the before. Our offer was accepted, so here's to hoping everything works out. :)
Hm. So. What else? We're headed to Hawai'i on Monday for 9 days with Dominique. We are so excited to spend some quality time with her, loungin' in paradise and trying to finagle a way to get her out here for the wedding. Damn the Army for spoiling our plans. Fuckers...
This will be Shelby's second plane ride, as we went to Oklahoma for our twin-family's wedding in Tulsa. We flew into Wichita, stayed the night with Andi & Co. and then went down to Tulsa. Here's a picture of the happy family:
And on that note, I will end my update. I will try to be more on the ball. :) Thanks for reading!
