Yes, April, I do have news to report and I have been remiss in not posting here for many moons. Since I have moved I have not renewed internet access at my house and my desk position in my workplace (and the busy activity as well) has prevented me from posting at all. I keep saying I'm going to get internet at home, but with $400 gas bills this winter and wedding expenses coming in, its a luxury I'm doing without.
So, here's a quick update before the boss men get here:
Josh and I got engaged on New Year's Eve.
Josh and I are getting married on September 16, 2006.
My wedding dress has come in and I am going to get it this weekend.
I am getting my bridesmaids together next weekend to get fitted for their dresses.
I'm a planner and this wedding has really brought out the planner in me. My sister gave me a large stack of bridal magazines and those with my own purchases are taking up much space in the living room as well as notebooks full of guest lists, song lists, gift ideas, websites, hair and makeup ideas, etc. Josh now thinks I should be a wedding planner in my next career.
We are also going to start registering for gifts, at my mom's insistence, starting with a local gift shop in town on Saturday whose owners have known Josh since he was a kid. I'm also going to do another gift shop in town and of course, Target. Does anyone have any other suggestions? (Is anyone even out there besides April?) We're looking at a 200-250 guest list, so I think I may need another one.
I hope this provided a good update, and I'll try to be on here more and maybe talk about something other than wedding stuff, but that's what's been occupying my time and will be until the big day. I hate to be one of those brides who all they talk about is the wedding and nothing else, as it has annoyed me in the past of my bride friends. So, next time I'll try to find a topic in a non-wedding category. And I won't make next time be months in length.
