Hi Guys!!
So we were thinking of doing our own food for the wedding. By that I mean we wanted to buy large quantities of items like potato salad, salad, and that kind of thing and then have a friend of ours cook hamburgers and chicken on the grills that are provided at the reception site.
I think we have come up with a better solution. We are looking at Chivettas Chicken
you should check it out! I haven't had anything from them, but Eric has and said he loves it. We are going to go there and sample everything, but if you are familiar with it, let me know what you think. The price is very reasonable, its $10 a person including rolls, chef salad, half a chicken, potato salad and beans. We can change the potato salad and beans to what ever else they offer. It seems like a great deal. This will be much better, then we don't have to worry about getting all the items together and having someone cook on a charcoal grill, that they aren't familiar with!!
Also, the date for the Bridal Shower has been set. May 17th, 2008. That is very exciting. I'll have more details when it gets closer.
It is hard to plan for this wedding and set budgets especially when today there is so many options. Then once I think ok, we can spend this amount, I remember that in a few short months, CHRISTMAS, is going to be here, and, my 23rd Birthday!! Which really isn't that exciting anymore.
I am very excited for Christmas this year. Not for presents and for even buying presents, just because I will be at home. This was the first year since my parents moved to North carolina, that I didn't stay with them for a month or more during the summer. So I can't wait to be there with my family. Eric will be coming with too, so that makes it even better.
Ok let me know what you think for the catering place or if you have any other suggestions. This weekend I am going to David's Bridal and hopefully finding a bridesmaid dress for the girls..
Have a fantabulous Day!!

New Buisness
Helloooo Everyone!!
I can't believe all the rain we are getting while the south is just getting drier and drier. It is not good. With this kind of drought, and the predicted winter, crops are not looking good for next year! On the bright side, It's apple pickin' time!! Yay! Eric and I actually went a little earlier, and got a bushel, which was wayyy to many. We made a few apple pies and gave them away. We made dried apples and apple sauce! Quite the festivities huh? Anyways I have a main reason for the blog today.. and it's a good one!! Ready............
MY MOM's new buisness. She has been doing floral arrangements for years. Now she is finally going to make them to sell! She also just did the flowers for my Jessica's wedding. I'll give ya some pictures of that soon. So here is her web site. She has great things that you could give your mother's!! Seriously look at it, you won't be disappointed!!

Hi GUYS!!!
Today was beautiful out. I can't believe that last year we had a huge snow storm. That was very traumatic, and I am sure all those who experienced it, will remember it forever. I was working at Dunkin, and when we saw Wal-mart go out, we knew something wasn't right!! haha
So today I am going to show you ideas for the bridesmaid dresses. Hopefully it will be between one of these because they are from David's Bridal and I know that they have them all over this country. Each one of my brides maids lives in a different state. It doesn't make it easy at all. Harley(my kitten) just jumped on my lap and farted, and it smells so bad. UGHHH. Yea, thought you would like to know that. So yeah, of course pink is the color. Also, we have ordered our save the date cards and are hoping to send them out the second week in novemeber! That is really exciting.

I am also trying to decide if I should work or not. Eric says that he has enough money, but I feel so scared when we are just making it. I think I am gonna apply, I have a very limited schedule cuz of school anyways. Hopefully something will work out. Gotta love money, right?
Ok well that is the thoughts for today. Harley just can't not lay on my lap when I am on the computer, and then he always has to rest his paw on my right hand, and when it moves around he keeps it on there. Cute yes, but a little annoying. Oh what am i saying he is adorable! Oh here is something you can let me know what you think. I had two articles in the Stylus
and one was on the corn maze in Wheatfield. The picture that went with it, looks nothing like the actual maze. So I let the editor know this and she replys with they needed to fill space, she just googled it and grabbed it, and it's ok because it says it came from online. Hmmm ... interesting. I guess I would just think that it is somewhat false advertising. Because this corn maze that I wrote about isn't scary at all. But the picture gives that image. Go ahead check it out, it's in the lifestyles section. Ok that is all I have to vent about today!! As always, let me know what you are thinking feeling!!
Sorry guys but I can't get the actual picture on here you will have to click the links!!

Memory
Today I am not posting wedding stuff. I will tomorrow though. Today I wanted to share an experience that I had, that related to a past experience. So yeah.. enjoy!!
Today something weird happened. I mean weird things happen all the time, depending on what you think is weird. But to me, this was weird. Let me go back to the beginning. About a year ago I was staying at my fiancés house (this is when he was still living with his parents) because I was living in the dorms and going home for the summer. Home for me is in North Carolina where my parents and brothers are. Eric who is my fiancé had the work schedule of 6am -2pm.
I was lucky enough to use that time to get to know my future mother-in-law, for a whole week. This wasn’t a drag or bummer to me. I was excited. She is a great woman and would always be asking if I was hungry and what not. Well, thinking that this would be great bonding time, I decided to rent a chick flick for us to watch.
I love Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman. Well I find a movie with both in it and some other famous actors and it sounds like a crazy romance.
I think with these actors it must be great. WRONG! Never think that, that’s why movies sometimes pay big actors. Anyways, we are watching the movie and so far it’s ok. We get to a scene where a man is iming another person very dirty things. I mean some dirty stuff especially when it’s in front of your boyfriend’s extremely catholic mother. Oh lord, this is my luck. Well after the iming the movie goes on to arguments and drama and kind of hard to follow. Two women shared the same man kinda storyline, but then one is a stripper.
This was the most traumatizing part. At the strip club is Natalie Portman flaunting her self very dirty like. Speaking dirty and the man, is so into it, (of course) Sorry. Anyways I want to die. My ears are on fire, no I am not worked up I am extremely embarrassed and disgusted. I look at Eric’s mom and I think she felt the same. The movie was horrible after wards we were still trying to figure out what exactly happened. I don’t know if we felt like that because we were both uncomfortable with the scenes or what.
But I remember after that all I heard was, you should have seen the movie tas made me watch. Yep, and that is how I bonded with my future mother-in-law. What brings me to this memory, is that today in my playwriting class, my teacher uses this movie as an example. I was shaking my head, inside of course, thinking what is she going to use from this movie. What left me confused is her choice of this movie.
Yes I understood when she explained the scene she chose, but I wonder did she enjoy this movie? Again maybe it was because of my environment. I don’t know though, Mrs. Boland is pretty cool, I just think the movie was in poor taste. So today I couldn’t believe that CLOSER( the movie) was in my play writing class as an example. This movie drives me crazy.. and what a shame because Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman are gorgeous and wonderful actors.
