Another Busy Weekend

Another busy weekend has come and gone.  We had a lot of wedding to do items.  It started out on Saturday morning with going to Anchor Paper to buy all the paper for our invitations.  We had a good idea of what we wanted, we just needed to find the exact colors and buy it.  We bought it, ordered what they didn't have there on site and even got our envelopes.

Next stop, lunch.  We didn't have our next appt until 1 so we made a quick stop for some lunch.  Before we left home, I went to our DreamtripsLife website to find a coupon to use for lunch.  I found for a place that is on our way down to our cake tastings that afternoon.  Buy one sandwich, get one free @ a little BBQ shop.  IT WAS SOOOO GOOD.  Tate really loved it also.  We received big souvenir cups to keep and they had FREE ICE CREAM!!!!! 





















After lunch, we were onto our cake tastings.  I was super excited about this.  The first one went really well and the cupcakes were AMAZING!!!  The gentlemen let us take home the cupcakes that we didn't eat while there (he gave us 8 total, 2 of each kind to try).  We brought home one of each kind and a half eaten one :)
















The first cake tasting was better than the second.  We got pricing for both...and they are both kind of expensive in my opinion.  We have another cake tasting in a couple weeks and I am going to see what other options are out there.   We want delicious tasting cupcakes, but not pay an outrageous amount.

After our 2 cake tastings, it was one to wedding ring shopping.  This was more for me but we really wanted to get Tate's ring size and see what mm size of ring he likes because we plan to order his online.  We found what he liked so now we just need to look online to see what we can find.  We also found what I liked, but they had to order it in because there is only 1 left.  They will received it on Tuesday so hopefully I like it on...we will see.

After running around all morning...it was nice to get home and work on the invitations and to update our budget to see where we were sitting on that.  I have a very good start on the invitations and the budget is all updated.  It feels good to have those time consuming items done.

We didn't do anything Saturday night.  We woke up on Sunday and went to church.  I had plans on Sunday to meet up with a mother of a knottie bride to buy some vases from her.  She was selling them for $.75/vase.  I am going to be using these to make the memory candles.  If I had bought them online, they would have cost $3.50...so I was super happy to buy 10 for less than buying 3 online. (We won't be having 10 memory candles, but I thought I will use the others throughout the house).

Before we met up to buy the vases, we decided to bring Mya to a off the leash dog park.  She rarely gets to run around free with other dogs...so I thought it would be good for her.  She loved it.  She was like a kid in a candy store...running all over the place.  I really hope I can find time to bring her weekly because I feel like she really needs that time to just run free.

Here is a picture after she settled down a bit...





















Another picture of her and the other dogs getting to know eachother!!!  Isn't it lovely...Mya has her face in the other dogs butt.  Imagine if this is how humans got to know eachother...so odd!!!
















I wish we could have stayed longer @ the dog park...but it was FREEZING out.  Only 30 something degrees outside...brrrrr.  But we were on our way to buy the vases and then home again.  It was an eventful weekend full of running around...but it definitely feels good to get things done.

Another day in history happened yesterday...OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD!!!!  He has been the most wanted man in the USA since 9/11 and the troops finally killed him yesterday!! I hope this serves some sort of justice for the families of those killed in the 9/11 attacks.  I would like to thank our troops who have fought and continue to fight to this day to keep our country free!!!  GOD BLESS AMERICA...
