Productive Weekend

I got SOO much done this weekend, It feels good to have some of the DIY projects done. We are pushing 6 weeks to the wedding, and I am in a bit of a stress mode. I just cant believe its coming so fast!! I took pictures of all of the projects I did this weekend but I still cant find my camera cord. I will look for it again today to see if I can find it, and post pictures later.

My list of CHECKS done this weekend:

bough 27 cases of pop (24 pack)

put together the bridesmaids gifts

stamped thank you cards

wrote out thank you cards for my bridesmaids & usherettes

memory candle

memory list in frame

ribbon on program baskets

pink and black place cards cut

combined all of the confetti

finished the invites that need to be sent out today

received the "dance only" postcards

bought all the hardware for the photo card box

tried to do my unity candle (it was a mess)

put ribbon on votive candles (only on 24 out of 144)

bought material for the "thank you" poster for pictures

put together all of the flower girls & ring bear bags

put their name on the bags with puff paint

I think that was it, but it feels like I am missing some. I will probably think of some late.

WEIGHT LOSS UPDATE:

Today is weigh in day for weight watchers, and I am proud to announce that as of this morning I have lost 4.2 pounds! I thought it was pretty darn good considering I ate out Friday night, Saturday night, and Monday night! I am really happy with the results I am getting, and I hope to keep it coming! My 1st mini goal is to loose 10-15 pounds before the wedding, my second mini goal is to loose another 15 pounds by my birthday (9/23) and my big goals is to loose 45 pounds total by the beginning of the new year as long as we don't get pregnant before then. :) The game is on, and I am bound and determined to loose this weight that i gained over the past 2-3 years!

Busy Busy Busy!!!

I am not sure if I have mentioned that I have a HUGE callus on my right foot on the heal (which is a weird place to have it) that I have been dealing with for at least a half of a year. I didnt think much of it, but it is really starting to effect how I walk, I am walking with a limp. Well now that I work at a Chiropractor's Office I can get free adjustments. I had the Dr look at it and he said I was walking funny. So he recommended orthotics. Well on Thursday I went into the office (on my day off) to get fitted for them. It is going to cost be about $200 bucks, when originally it would cost me over $600, and that is at cost so the Dr is not making any money off of me! So I am excited to get them. I am going to fell SOOO much better! I should be getting them next week sometime.

99% of the invites are out (thats right, I still have bout 5 invites I still need to send out) bad, I know. But anyways I think we had about 345 people on the invite list (ya I dont know the exact number of that either) The RSVP's are due to me on June 1st, so approx. 1 week away. So far we have 70 people that are coming! So that means people need to get there RSVP's in!!! ok vent over.

On Thursday (after my orthotic fitting) I headed to Sam's Club to order our sheet cakes for the wedding. I ordered 4 full sized sheet cakes: marble flavored with white whipped frosting. I made them all the same because David and I are serving cake at the end of dinner (to make our rounds and say hi to everyone) Then people cant be picky. :) so that is a CHECK!

Also when I was at Sam's Club I picked up 3 (30 bottle) cases of water. We are planning on having some water bottles at church because there is no AC, and its gonna get HOT! I am throwing around the idea of making personalized labels. Is it easy to do?

I also headed to Hobby Lobby (the store I LOVE to make DIY wedding projects) and they had all wedding items 50% off, so I picked up another large candle ($3.00) for our Memory Candle that will burn, I picked up some "mr. & mrs." confetti ($.99) for our tables. I also picked up some sheer ribbon to but on the baskets for our programs at church. so that is a CHECK!

OH BY THE WAY: Weight Watchers has been going GREAT! and 5 days into the program I have lost 2.8 pounds, and I even went out to eat last night at Buffalo Wild Wings!! :) yay me!
