Ok this title sounds like it could be a little dirty. Not my intentions :-) It is 12:45 in the morning. And I'm up.

Yesterday I went with my mom and sister to look for my wedding day shoes, a cut out stamp for the invites and look into buying materials to make the BM necklaces. Well it was WAY too cold and windy to be looking for shoes so we went to Michaels and Hobby Lobby. I bought an anchor cut out from Martha Stweart. I became far too overwhelmed with the idea of making the BM necklaces. I had no idea I'd have to buy some crimping tool and crimping things, and then I wanted to do jewles and perals but they wouldn't all fit on the same chain without much difficulty. So I scrapped the whole idea. I do realize now that there is a new Michales that has a really great bead/pearl section with an employee that mans it. She will help with ANY thing. But I remembered that a little too late. Instead we went to Hobby Lobby and I determined that making them earrings would much simpler. (I say this now because I haven't started making them yet).

My mom and sister also pointed out that we could make the flower girl baskets ourselves! I'm a horrible perfectionist so the thought that I'm doing this kinda scares me. But I might as well give it a try. We found some wicker baskets and white spray paint. Also bought some fake flowers to decorate it. I haven't decided if I want to put a bow on the handles or not. I'm going to wait until I make them and see if it needs one. I'll post pictures when I get them done.

We also bought the piller candles for the center pieces. These are also from Hobby Lobby. They are a pack of 2 for only $4.99. I needed 14 so it wasn't too expenive. Actually my mom bought them, which was a huge reliefe. I have to send in the deposite for the DJ and officiant tomorrow and those are both coming straight out of my check. I am happy though that we finally picked a DJ. I'm so tired of e-mail vendors.

We did get our engagement pictures back. They are amazing! I can't believe how great they turned out. I mean, we knew we had good photographers, but we had no idea how we would turn out lol. Come to find out we don't have good photographers we have fantastic photogs, and we looked really good as well :-) I'm a little dissapointed because I sent a mass e-mail out to friends and family with the website to go check them out. I only got 3 replys. My FMIL, one GM and my mom and sister of course. I just remembered my aunt left me a message on face book. I hate face book. As if I don't have enough to do with planning a wedding, now I have to try and keep up with the lives of 100's of other people. Ugh.

I think that's it for tonight. Theres more, but I'll save it for tomorrow if I get a chance.

Good night.

On this last Monday we met our photographers downtown for lunch and then did our engagement shoot. We had such a great time. Our photographers are awesome and really made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We can't wait to see our pictures and are so excited to have Ryan and Stacey be there for our wedding day!!!!

I just scheduled to day our engagement shoot! I'm very happy about this as many of you know. We are going on Monday March 16th in Downtown Denver. I can't wait to get these pictures taken.

Also we had our first cake tasting on Monday with Amy's Unique Cakes. She was wonderful and we loved her cakes! She brought cupcakes for us to try. She is very reasonably priced which is a great plus! My mom and sister (who is also my Maid of Honor) came with my FI and I and they loved every thing too. We were suposed to meet with a second baker that night but she got a stomach bug and our tasing date is now pending. Can't wait to try them all lol!

Whew! What a load off this is. I'm really happy to have found someone that fits in our budget and has EVERY thing we want! I really can't believe it!!!! We wanted 2 photographers, more than 5 hours, an engagement sesion, rights to the pictures, and friendly photographers....WE FOUND THEM! And right in our budget. I'm still shocked. We had given up on the idea of having professional engagement pictures because we are paying for the wedding and have no money for that. We had FFIL take some really good pics and used one for our save the date magnets but thought that would be it. Well our photographer includes a sesion in the package to get to know eachother. I'm so happy about that. We are thinking about going downtown to get them taken. Probably the first week of March. I know it'll be so much fun.
