Catering

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!!

October 4th 2007

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.

A little more wedding and other stuff

So Today I want to share my dorky excitement on having this screen at our wedding. (click the link above!!) It is going to be sweet to play guitar hero on it!! Another thing is we can have pictures playing on it for awhile too... I like the playing guitar hero on it best. What do you think? Is there any other games to play on a xbox 360 that anyone else thinks would be a great game to play outside? Let me know!! This is something that I think people will be attracted to and remember. I want this to be a one of a kind memorable event. Just like everyone else who is planning a wedding!! Haha Now I have to hope Taylor (my brother) will let me borrow his playstation so I can get to expert and blow people away with my skills at my wedding!! Yes I love Guitar Hero. The last night part of my life was nice. I got to see the girls, (from the dorms) it was great. I love being able to just get giggly with them. Friendship is a sweet sweet thing. We watched Evening and once again our Step Up! We can't get over

Channing Tatum

. You should def. check him out! What is left of the weekend, is the best part of being a college student.. studying.. I mean the hardest part is the motivation to actually sit down and focus on what you need to. Once your in its fine. Its just so hard to choose studying when there are tons of other things that are much more exciting to do out there.

One more thing for the WEDDING!!

Here is the website for our photographer!! Steve Chesler HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

A delay that is good!!

Today I wanted to show some of the flower ideas that I like.


For those of you who don't know, Eric was originally planning to go to Delhi, in August 2008, for golf turf management. This would be right after I graduate from Brockport and we get married. Yesterday I met with my advisor and realized I have 28 more credits to go. I could get this done by August if I took classes for the winter and summer terms. But then I don't have time for an internship or work. Both of those are VERY VERY important. So now I'll be graduating in December of 08 and then Eric will start school in Jan of 09, wow that sounds crazy. That is where the real adventure is going to start. We are excited about what would seem like a set back, but for us now we don't have to rush and make such a big move when we get back from our honeymoon!! And I can do an internship over the summer, which will be much better!!

SO I learned that sometimes it is better to take the time with something then rush through. I can hear now the voice saying see, It isn't your plan but God's plan. Things like this, are out of our hands!

Hey Guys!! It has been a really really long time. Mostly because I forgot about this. But I want to use this to start posting wedding ideas that I am finding on here. You can let me know what you like or don't like. I have started my second semester at Brockport and it is going just fine. Planning for the wedding is a lot of fun, and I am going to be sad when it's over but extremely excited to have Eric as my husband!

So yeah today is just what some of our paper stuff might look like, save the dates, thank yous, invites!!!

TODAY SUCKED

So usually friday's are an exciting day, I have three classes, and they last until 2:15! Which means then I get to go to Buffalo and see eric..Today my mission to get to Buffalo was nothing I had in mind. I heard people saying the roads might be a problem, but today I had no worries or bothers, I was free spirited and felt like things could just pass me by without any emotion. THAT CHANGED QUICKLY..

So my friend Sarah and I go out to X lot...its like a 15 min. walk, her car is in the third lot of X lot, so it is like a 20 min walk now. We have to walk past my car to get to her car because she has a shovel, most of the cars you couldn't even see because of ALL the snow.
We get to her car and it's halfway buried. Not too bad. I start kicking and pushing the snow away and I think to myself, oh good the snow is still fluffy...this isn't too bad. I am starting to get really hot though, because I bundled myself up...and well..im a little out of shape.. We switch and I shovel a path for her tires and things are looking good, going smooth. Of course there is the horrible wind blowing the snow everywhere but it was too bad at Sarah's car.

Next is my car.....AHHHH! Next to the right side a car wasn't parked next to me, ihaven't moved my car for 3 days and it is buried. I should have taken a picture. IT WAS HELL! the snow came all the way up to my hips, it was so hard to shovel the snow out because the van next to it on the other side was so close and the snow was so high. My legs felt the stinging that they haven't felt in a long time. I didn't wear my boots so my ankles were stinging..like when i was little except it didn't matter or hurt like it hurt now.
The worst part was the wind was blowing so much snow everywhere i couldn't see, water was dripping and dripping down my face. I felt like i was sticking my face under the shower head. I couldn't tell if snot or tears or the snow was dripping down my face.
Luckily a car of guys drove by looking at sarah and i struggling and i gave them my best puppy face, WHAT DO YOU KNOW. it worked, all three came out and took over and got my car out! It was wonderful...i tried to thank them but i couldn't look at them because the snow was all in my face, so it was a thank you with a scrunched up snot dripping face..but they helped and i am grateful.

Then the route i need to take to get to eric, had an accident and is closed, so i had to go a half hour out of my way to get back to where i needed to be. The roads were pretty bad because of the snow drifts blowing..but i made it..and i can't wait for this day to be over!

Brockport

So this is my first blog on my new site...I have to say that I'm sick of the myspace, facebook worlds. Not that this is too much different...but its "fresh" for now.
I have started my first semester at Brockport, I am a junior and hope to get out of here A.S.A.P.
NO, i don't hate school, I love it...but I am at that point where I am ready to get married and get a house and have a career and start the next BIG chapter of my life...
I thank God every night that he blessed me with my new room mates. I am so glad for who they are and how things are working out so far.
The campus is pretty small, but yet not too small when we have to walk to the opposite end and it becomes a 15 min. walk..then we all hate it!
Much like today, with EVERY school, college, buisness' around us getting closed, and Brockport STRIVEs to stay open. Luckily all my classes were canceled anyways!! YaY~~
The distance sometimes gets hard not seeing Eric everyday, but our love is so strong that I am ok and just hearing his voice on the phone makes me happy. He is awesome and I can't wait for the day he asks me to be his FOREVER!!!
The distance from my parents is slowly molding into my lifestyle. It will be three years in April since my parents moved to NC!!! When I think about the fact I see them twice a year...it sucks!!
But the most important thing that keeps me steady is giving it to God because he knows my heart and I know his plan...is soooooo the one I want!
So Welcome to reading my first blog..I'm gonna play around with lots of ideas and share my writings on here......So don't give up on me yet...It will get good..I PROMISE!!
