Busy Busy Busy

The finished Product :)

These past few weeks have gone by in a blur...I have put things with the house aside for the most part and I am concentrating on the wedding right now. I have a lot to do in the next few months. :/

Since the last update, I have bought quite a bit of stuff for the wedding. Also, with the help of my great friend Erin, who also happens to be one of my bridesmaids, we have toasting glasses for the reception!! Yay!! They turned out really good and I am so excited because not only did they turn out great but I also got to spend time with Erin before she has Collin!! Erin is due in November and she is having a baby boy! I attended one of her showers on Sunday and had a good time. A couple of her friends threw it for her and it was so much fun. They had yummy food and cake, great presents for Erin, Devin, and Collin, and great people. It was so good to see Tracie and Kendall again! Kendall sure has grown up!

Also, my other friend Stephanie got engaged yesterday!! It's so exciting because Jay, her fiance, let me go shopping with him for her ring and let me in on the plans. So, all day Tuesday, I was so anxious to get her phone call. :) She was so excited and out of breath when she called me, it was so cute! I am so happy for the two of them!

Mostly I have been working and if I'm not working, I am shopping or researching wedding stuff. :) I do have a lingerie shower and a bachelorette party to attend this weekend for my friend Heather. She is getting married in November.

Jesse has been working and watching football! Oh yes...it's football season people so I don't see much of Jesse anymore. :) He is a little peeved that I didn't opt for NFL Sunday Ticket through Directv when I moved our service from the apartment to the house, so Sundays are a day to myself. lol. He visits his friends that do have NFL Sunday Ticket.

It's been a while..

I haven't updated this thing in a while partly because we haven't had internet at the new house until last week! Thankfully, we got that all setup. So, as you probably know, I moved into the new house about a month ago and it' so exciting! We have gotten a lot done with a month's time and there is so much more to do. Being a homeowner is a lot of work. For now, I enjoy it..I'm sure that will wear off soon. :) Jesse and his dad did some nice landscaping in the front of the house that looks way better than the stuff the builders put it. They also put up blinds, fans, garage door openers, wall cabinets, pictures, and mirrors. The list seems to never end of the stuff that we need to do. For now, we are trying to be patient. It is very hard because I want to decorate and I registered for a lot of the stuff so I have to wait. It will be worth it though. I will have to take some updated pictures of the house since we got the nice landscaping.

I have gotten a lot done on the wedding these past few weeks. We have the tuxedos picked out and all the addresses in for the most part. Kristin has booked the place for my shower which is super exciting! There is a lot more to do but now that the house is done, I can focus on the wedding more. I will do my best to keep up with this!!

Another house update

I'm all moved from my apartment to my parents house! Thanks everyone for all of your help! It would have taken a lot longer than just a few hours if I hadn't had all the help. So, I am "settled" in at my parents. And by settled, I mean, I have crap everywhere and I am living out of bags etc. :) It's just temporary though because I found out today that we are closing on the house on August 20th!! I have to call the underwriter for the loan tomorrow and make sure that we have everything in that we need to as far as the mortgage goes. The construction is on track. We have a walk through on the 17th at 2pm and then another walk through on the 20th at 9am and then we close at 11am. Yay!! I am taking the 20th off which is a Thursday. I am going to work Friday though because it's the bank and Fridays are usually busy. I am going to have that weekend off though to get things together.

Jesse has thursday through Sunday off and he is going to get blinds put up and some other things he wants to do before I move in. We are so excited that it is almost here. It has gone by so fast!

Updates

It's official, I am moving back in with my parents tomorrow until the house is ready. ;) Tomorrow is the big moving day. Mom and Dad, Jesse and Timmy are helping me move. Thankfully, we should be able to get it knocked out pretty quickly. I will miss my first apartment. It was so much fun living on my own in my small, cute apartment. I am moving on to bigger and better things though and for that, I am grateful.

Jesse and I went by to see the house today and they have even more done!!! They have poured the concrete for the driveway and sidewalk out front. They have the floors in all the bathrooms, the kitchen, laundry room, and foyer. It looks great! They have also put on the countertops in our bathroom and put on the shower door. In addition to all of that, they put the shelves in all of the closets. They also have the front of the house prepped for the stucco. Jesse talked to Mike, the superintendent, and he said they will be doing that this week. We should be closing within the next few weeks. I can't wait!!

The cake business is going very well. I just completed an order friday night for Jesse's great aunt and cousin. They requested a Gator cake for Trey's birthday. It was fun to do. I also have orders to do a welcome home cake for my brother, an alligator cake for a double birthday party in August. Not to mention, the cakes for caylee's birthday parties. That's right I said parties!! lol We are having a family party on her actual birthday and then a big party on September 5th. It should be fun!! I am also making Jesse's dad a cake for his 50th birthday. Amanda and I ordered business cards and have been handing those out. The lady who took our engagement pictures is going to take a stack and hand them out to her clients. She does a lot of baby pictures so for their birthdays etc.I guess you could say, business is really picking up. ;)

Jesse has been working on getting plants and trees for our landscaping for the new house. He really enjoys working out in the yard and doing all that kind of stuff. This doesn't bother me a bit because as it happens, I do not like working out in the yard. :) He has been on craigs list and to all kinds of stores looking for trees and plants. Our yard will definitely be the best looking in the neighborhood!!

More pictures!!!

It looks like I finally figured out how to put a slideshow on here so I am going to add another one while I'm at it. ;)

Updates

We haven't done much lately, just getting ready for me to move out of my apartment on the 31st of this month and checking out the house as it moves along. I have some new pictures of the house that I am going to post on here so everyone can see. It's really looking good. We are so excited for it to be finished. My apartment is a mess right now as I have boxes everywhere and things strewn about trying to figure out where to pack them.

Wedding plans are moving smoothly along as well. Haven't done much with it lately because I really have a lot done and don't need to do anything else until the date gets closer. I am trying to just slowly get things done in between work and the house stuff.
