New blog layout! The old blog felt... well, old. And I like updating things so I made it brighter and a little cleaner imo*. :)
I promise, PROMISE the invites are going to be out soon, they're all done! Seeeeeee?
I'm just waiting for a few more addresses (ahem! Dad! *cough* Ron! *cough*) and enough $$ for postage. And then they'll be on their merry way.
I keep thinking of more ideas for the wedding!! In the great words of Jim Carrey via 'The Mask' "SSSOMEBODY STOP ME!!" Cheesy? Unfortunately it's the truth. I've had almost a year of planning and thinking about the next big project to work on and now I've got nothing. Zip. Oh, I suppose I could do laundry and tidy up my room, but what fun is THAT?
My latest and greatest idea is for a candy buffet. It will essentially serve two purposes, 1: It's great decoration! And 2: Party favors! There will be small baggies and boxes (and mini candy scoops!!!!! So cute!) for guests to take what they'd like and bring home.
These are my inspirations:
[NOTE: I do not take credit for either of these photos. I googled 'blue candby buffet table' and these pictures were part of the results. I loved them and kudos to whomever created them.]
It's going to be soooo much fun putting this together!!
I also found pre-made pomanders on clearance for $2.00!!!!
Wooo!!! Exclamation point!!!
Oooooh and lastly. Something else that will be going on the Candy Buffet: CAKE POPS!
These tasty little treats are the best things ever, in my book. I discovered one of my new favorite websites: Bakerella.com. This person is one of the most creative people I have ever seen. Cake pops are delightful little cake balls rolled to perfection, then dipped in melted chocolate coating and put onto a stick. They look like suckers, but they're not! They're beautiful and they're delicious! And they're so easy to make! (Time-consuming but easy...) I plan on making a lot of these little guys to add some pep to the Candy display. :)

90 Days = Medical Benefits!
"Great things are coming to you this year." - This was a fortune inside a fortune cookie I got almost a year ago. Obviously it was right.
Going back to July of 2009, a recap: Shane & I both were laid off from our jobs.
August of 2009: Shane proposes. [OBVIOUSLY] I accept.
September 2009: Shane and I both find new jobs. Mine in retail, his in maintenence.
March 2010: Shane gets laid off again.
May 2010: I get offered a full time position at a new company [not in retail] with great pay. Two hours after I get offered a new job, Shane gets an offer at an electronics company. An hour after THAT Shane's older brother Ryan gets an offer for a new job as well.
GREAT THINGS are happening here. Today officially marks 90 days until the wedding. Ninety days until Shane and I get to start our new life together. It's more than exciting at this point. I'm still slowly collecting little details of the wedding that I'll need but everything is done. Invitations have been addressed and are waiting for their postage.
He and I went apartment hunting yesterday and had an enormous amount of fun doing so. We found a few places that will allow my big furry friend to accompany us and that was a relief. Alas, Shane's (and mine I suppose,) dream apartment wouldn't. But at least now we know there are good prospects out there for us if we can't find a rental house between now and July.
Soon I'll be changing my last name and we'll be applying for a marriage license. And living happily ever after. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it's so exciting.
Sorry this post isn't as quippy as normal. I'm tired. It's been a long day and I tried on a swim suit for the first time in six years - *gag*.
