Welcome to Rydell High!!

I have been waiting for this day for a VERY long time. I was on the internet a couple of months ago looking at shows at the fox and other areas, and FINALLY they are having Grease on Broadway at the Fox. They went on sale Saturday at 1 and I got the tickets. There is 8 of us going and Im super super excited about it. The only bad part is WAITING. The show isnt until January! I cant wait!!!!

MERCY

A new show started last night. Its on NBC and it is called Mercy. It was GREAT! I loved it. Its on at 7. You will have to try and watch it. If you like Grey's Anatomy, it kind of has that setting to it. Its a great new show. Try to watch it next Wednesday!

CUBS VS. CARDS

This past weekend we went to the CUBS/CARDS game. Derek, Kayden, Mom, Jason, Renae, Ciara and Logan and I Went. 6 Cardinal Fans and 2 Cubs Fan, well I should say mom just opted to wear a Cubs shirt(she could care less). Kayden on the other hand is a HUGE baseball fan. He LOVES Baseball. He is a CUBBY fan though. Derek just loves loves it (pshh) haha. So I was inside getting ready and they were outside and Derek said hey come here....Derek had taken black electric tape and crossed out the cubs on kaydens shirt! It was pretty funny......

We had a great time. The cardinals won the game! On the way back my brother had road rage bad! We were in traffic for FOREVER in downtown St. Louis and then we finally started going again and in Collinsville there was backed up traffic for at least a half hour, and he was about to have a come apart. We finally made it home. All in all it was a fun day!

Back To Wedding Mode

Now that the house is done we are back to wedding mode. In my down time I have been working on the guest list, plans, getting ideas for flowers, etc. We hired the three sisters to rent the head table decor and some of the centerpieces, The three sisters just sold their business to Billi Jansen, so we met with her last week and she has some very neat ideas. I cant wait to post pictures of everything! It has been fun planning everything and seeing all of the new ideas and trends. Im SUPER SUPER excited about the Candy Buffet and Wine Table. I cant wait to post pictures of the final project! I think Derek and I have all of our wedding party selected. We are having 9 Groomsmen, 9 Bridesmaids, Junior Bridesmaid, Junior Groomsmen, 2 Bridal Assistants, 4 Ushers, 2 Ring Bears, 1 Flower Girl...I hope I didnt forget someone. It was so hard to pick between people and Derek felt the same way, but we finally did it!

Anyways, I am starting to think of creative ideas for centerpieces, bridesmaid gifts, church decorations, everything pretty much. I know alot of you go to a ton of weddings and so if you see anything that is ABSOLUTELY cute and creative let me know. Ive tried to think of alot of different things for the wedding, because I know people are tired of going and seeing the same things.....Sooo Im trying really hard to think of different things!

All Moved In

Well We are ALL MOVED IN! Yeah!!!! We've been staying there for two weeks now. There are still small piddly things to do, but it will just take time. My mom and I were both off last week and we accomplished a TON of stuff. Considering we broke ground June 1st we kicked butt! Everything has gone so smooth. The only thing Derek and I got into it about was the stupid fireplace! Derek insisted we did not need a jacuzzi tub and well guess what we got one! AND....... HE WAS THE FIRST ONE IN IT! I laid down with Kayden last week and when I went to go to bed he was IN THE TUB! I was like ughhhhhh I cant believe you are in the tub! haha. So when he got out he admitted that he liked it and it was a good idea! Haha MEN! Ill post pictures soon.
