Memorial Day

Finally Nick and I have had a nice weekend where we aren't running all over the place! Yesterday bought a cute little patio furniture set and some flowers for our front porch. (See picture above!) We sat outside all day yesterday and even ate dinner out there. I'm hoping it warms up pretty soon because there are 3 pools at our apt. complex and I want to start swimming laps. My back has been hurting a lot lately, and swimming has always seemed to help loosen me up and strengthen my muscles better than anything else I've tried.

Saturday Mom and Amy came with me to get my dress. It was the right one and it looks absolutley perfect! I picked out my veil and headpiece as well. Now all I need are shoes. My mom also found her dress-she was very excited she found it so early-it looks really good on her! We still have ALOT to do for the wedding, but my mom has been a HUGE help! She is making all the bouquets, invitations, and centerpeices. Plus we are going to decorate the reception hall with tulleing and lights ourselves because we'd rather not pay $300 bucks for other people to do it. The wedding industry is the biggest rip off ever-so we are saving so much money by doing most of this stuff ourselves!

We got our engagement pictures taken a couple weeks ago-they turned out really well. When we get them back I will try and put a couple up.

A sad day...

It is a sad day today....I just watched the series finalie of Gilmore Girls. :(
Although it probably was time for the show to end, I still will miss watching the adventures of Lorelai and Rory every Tuesday night.....

In other news, we got our engagement pictures taken last weekend. They turned out pretty good-some of them we look really crappy in, and others we look pretty damn good!

Work is going well...we are so busy right now. It seems like every day I get more piles of stuff on my desk, and more meetings are scheduled.

This weekend we are going down to Charleston for a cookout/bags tournament with some of Nick's friends. We practiced a little this past weekend and we aren't that good lol. My guess is we'll be out the first round-but it will still be fun!

We finally got rid of our apartment in Indiana so we aren't poor anymore! We are concentrating on paying off some of our debt for awhile, and then we are going to save up some for the wedding and maybe even a honeymoon! It's so nice not having to stress out about money as much anymore-we can go out to eat every once in awhile and not worry that we shouldn't be spending money.

That's pretty much all I've got for now. Don't really have much time to update this thing anymore...being a grown up takes up too much time! :)
