First [Non-Cash] Wedding Gift!
Why yes, we did get married 2 months ago. But that doesn’t mean we got any presents then. When you essentially elope – even though the whole Facebook/ Twitter world knew about it – you get no presents. We also weren’t expecting any. Duh. Our “wedding reception” is in just over a month. Holy cow, [...]

January Reception on my Mind.. Among Other Things
We’re closing in on the January reception pretty quickly. As of today, we’re about 5 weeks out. Over the weekend, I started a list of things I want to price check, such as the disposable plates, cups and flatware, the paper lanterns, string lights, and favors. Good thing is, the Christmas clearance sales will be [...]

Post-Wedding Update Type Post (Including TTD Pictures!)
Whoops! Had that OvernightPrints link all wrong! My bad. Wow, has it really been 3 days since I last posted? Craziness! This weekend has been really productive for me in terms of post-wedding stuff. And considering that we bought ourselves a Hanukkah/ early Christmas Wii, that’s really saying something! Let’s see, in the last 5 [...]

Hello Miami “Winter” – Please Stay A While
Days like today warm my little winter-starved heart. It will be in the 50s all day long in Miami and that just makes me ridiculously happy. The windier, the better because that drops the temp even more. Sure, I knew what the weather was like down here before we moved. I was never moving here [...]

Scammers Abound – Even (Especially?) in the Wedding World
I just had a pretty eye-opening experience. A mere month and a half after we got married, I decided to finally order our marriage certificate. Yeah yeah, I’m a slacker. You don’t have to tell me. Anyhow, I’d received 2 letters in the mail shortly after the wedding with 2 different websites to order our [...]

Designing our Holiday Cards
Tonight I decided to spend my down time after Thanksgiving dinner festivities working on our holiday cards, thank you cards, and a few photo books on Shutterfly. I have a few coupon codes, plus all our pictures – professional, mine and Cathy’s – were all uploaded to Shutterfly, so it’s about time to work on [...]

Productive Day & Opening a Business?
Today was very productive in my world. * I created a logo for my friend Kelly’s church group’s event. It’s super cute and pending the next set of edits. * I did loads of research for sheep farms. Yep, totally random! Hubby and I started talking about where we want to be in 5 years [...]

“I’ll Take Care of That Tomorrow” and Other Lame Things
I got this email [below] from my father. His forwards are usually funny, but they rarely hit home like this one did. It is even more relevant as we’re constantly saying “if we had the money, we’d..” or “we’ll have kids when we can afford them” or something along those lines. Who knows when we’ll [...]
Giveaway Prize Redeemed: Inkubook #1
We got our first @inkubook back a few days ago. I’ve been staring at it and sharing it at work and with family. I could seriously stare at it nonstop. As you may not remember, I won this book from a @BravoBride giveaway. I actually won 2 books and will be making the second one [...]

Party Invites are in the Mail!
Today was the first day I made actual progress towards the January wedding reception. Well, aside from Sunday evening when I sealed all the envelopes. But yes, today… today I dropped 70 thick envelopes into the mailbox at work. So by Wednesday, pretty much everyone should have received them. I still have about 30 more [...]
