What Have You Done For Your Marriage Today?

We've all heard the ads on the radio, seen them on t.v. and billboards....

I decided to trek to the website....

Looks like it could be really useful... I just browsed through the "Preparing for your Marriage" section. It has great things you should discuss before getting married. I assume it's things you talk about during your pre-marital counseling, but we haven't done ours yet.

If your getting married, or are already married, it looks like a good site to visit. :-)

M.I.A.

I've been MIA this week....

Went out of town for work Monday-Wednesday

Sick all day Thursday....

I'm back today though!

I spent most of Tuesday afternoon scowering all the Marshall's and TJ Maxx's in the triangle area for our groomsman's shirts.... after finding a shirt Jeremy and I both liked (even though it didn't have French cuffs, and Jeremy wanted them) we decided they were a great buy at $15 each. They were the right color, a pale ivory, which we'd found was proving to be a difficult find. We decided to get Jeremy a shirt that looks exactly the same but does have French cuffs.... I found him one, bought it, but it's too big, so I will keep hunting.... I will post pictures later.

Here we go... round 1....


Valentines Day-

My gift to him- the boudoir photo card and Guinness beer glasses he's been eyeing for months! (I forgot to take pictures of the unwrapped gifts)



He sent me orange roses at work on Friday :-)



He also gave me candy and a gift card to Ulta :-)

Jeremy also got another "gift" from me... we traded his BMW 330i on Valentines day for the BMW z4 he'd seen.... no pictures of the new car yet though.... here he is cleaning the old one out....



Saying goodbye with the doggies...

Yesterday...

I stopped in Marshalls on the way home to look for more of the candle holders I found in Winston on Monday (I'll post pics soon).... no luck.... BUT I did find a cake plate for our wedding cake, and the cutest brown bolero to wear over my wedding dress, if it's chilly on the big day!

Upon entering the dressing room, the woman working says "Is that for an adult? Oh, I see, Cute!" I replied "I thought it might look good over my wedding dress if it's cold" her response... "Ok.... oh, that would be cute!" (she seemed a little slow.... probably hated the idea, and then realizing what she'd said, and wanted to take her foot out of her mouth)

Tried it on, LOVED it!

Went to checkout... the checkout clerk (probably 45-50ish lady) was like, "oh this is nice" and I told her the same senario of wearing it over my dress.... she then looked at me like I was the most tasteless bride she'd ever seen, and was like "hmm, ok"

I get home, all excited to show Jeremy.... and he basically had the same reaction the checkout lady did.... Whatever, I mean, I don't anticipate it to be below 65 degrees on the wedding day... but I also don't anticipate 75 degrees in February (ahem... last week!) I'm just trying to be prepared.... damn.

This is not my dress, nor the jacket.... but this is close to the jacket I bought.... picture it chocolate brown



BTW- this is the Balenciaga dress and jacket Nicole Kidman wore when she married Keith Urban... Nicole has style right? Yeah, I thought so too....

Rubber Stamp

I trecked over to Staples and am having them make the stamp I found on Martha's website! :-) This is what it will look like....
