Think Green

I am 99.9% sure that I have decided on the wedding colors; lime green, black, and white. The black and white will also incorporate the damask patterns. Very classic and clean! My mom terms it "organic". Whatever it is. I love it. Here are some pictures that inspire some creativity!

I'm going to be sending save the dates as soon as Mike and I are set on the venue and date. I want to give relatives and friends as much notice as possible since many will be travelling to be with us.

Glendale Civic Center provides round tables, linens, and all the dinnerware for the wedding. I figure I can ask them for black tablecloths if I go with them. Then I can just buy or make damask ones for a few of the tables, like shown above.

I love it!

Getting more excited to plan and design my wedding. :)

3-Week Recap? :)

It's has been too long since I have posted. Damn you, critical care nursing class!

Anyways, I'm trying to recollect the past 3 or so weeks since my last post.....

Critical care is going surprisingly well. I had my first exam this past Wednesday and did pretty well all things considered. It was over the cardiac chapters, which are killers. We have to learn the pathology of the heart condition along with all of the monitoring systems that are used. I find the equipment more intimidating than the condition. Now we have moved quicky on to pulmonary and neuro. Next test Friday. I have to work on my study guide today before its too late and I'm kicking myself for being lazy. Week 4 of 8 of this class begins tomorrow. Almost halfway through. Time flies!

As soon as I have this course completed its time for a much needed two weeks off of school. Mike and I are taking a little vacation, which I'm really looking forward to.

We are considering getting another kitty soon. We found one we liked last night but he was already adopted. We decided that we should wait until we are back from PA to get a new cat. Its still really exciting! I have wanted a kitten for a long time. Aurie needs a companion. :)

The HOA of our community has been a real pain in the ass. About two weeks ago we received a letter from them asking us to clean up the pollen in our front yard. Ugh. Pollen? Really? So Mike and I went to his Aunt's and then his dad's to pick up some yard work equipment. We got home later that day around 5pm and found that one of our trees lost a few big branches due to some high winds earlier that day. So we spent 3 hours outside cleaning it all up to the best of our ability. We were sore for a few days after. Still haven't gotten around to it, but we were planning on writing to the HOA about how absolutely ridiculous their request was. There is pollen all over the common areas of the community. Annoying. We have a love/hate relationship for sure.

My mom is making headway on the wedding planning. We received our invitation and rsvp a couple of weeks ago. The invitation is very cute. I'm very excited for her. I'm excited for the wedding. I'm going to get to see so many friends. :)

I will try to blog more than I have been.
