Ch-ch-changes

So scratch the reception; well sort of. We have decided to have a small ceremony and reception then have a larger reception in the summer in KC. We are finally starting to book things so far we have our ceremony and our florist. First I was thinking I would just make paper flowers but I had second thoughts so now we have a florist who is giving us 15% off which is amazing since we have lots of corsages and boutonnieres. Finally everything is falling into place and it coming together. The next step is the photographer. Before I go here is the ceremony place.

Changing plans

So it looks like we might be changing plans. The place I last posted about only offered ceremonies and receptions. So I was ultimatley discouraged. My mom was getting on my case about finding a place and so I sent her a link to a place that was nice but I didn't think much of it. Well looking a little harder this place was perfect. We have use of the kitchen and get to rent for the whole. The best part is it is in our budget. We are going on Thursday to look at it and hopefully everything will work out! Now I just have to change my whole way of thinking and re-plan my wedding.

And the search begins.

For a ceremony location that is. I have always dreamed a garden wedding and hopefully we can find a place that fits. I have found a couple potentials but I am waiting for them to get back to me. This one is my favorite

There are light on the ceiling and its the first one I really went WOW. I need to run it by Ryan to make he likes it. Hopefully it will be in our price range. Keep your fingers crossed!!


We were going to look at some other sites this past week but didn't want to miss the futon which still hasn't been delivered. I also need to find a park that we can have the reception so we can get that reserved too. It is time to get into wedding mode.

Whew

So the truck came with all my stuff came today and we suprisingly we unloaded everything. We just have to unpack all my boxes which I am not looking forward to. Kailey is might be coming over tomorrow to help but I feel weird having people help me unpack. Maybe it is because I have become really OCD where I have to have everything in a certain place. It would be nice to get some bonding with her since we are going to be sisters in law but it will be weird.
The company that I hired for the truck wrote down that I had use 18 feet of space instead of 10 which was an extra $600. Luckily they were able to find what else they shipped and figured out that there was no way that was right. Thankfuly they are returning the 8 feet.

Welcome Home!

So we finally made it the horribly long 1370 miles. I love the place it and even the animals seem to like it. The ceilings are super high which makes it seem even bigger. We have a huge bathrooms and access to to the pool (yes there is a jacuzzi) and a work out room. We have amazing views of the city and at night it's even more gorgeous.

I was able to fix dinner last night even though it wasn't horribly delicious it was still nice being able to prepare it for Ryan. So far living with him is nothing short than great. It nice to finally have some rest time after the stressful move. Tomorrow, although the truck is coming and apparently we have to park it outside the whole complex which means we have to somehow carry my stuff 3 blocks. I am not really looking forward to it. I can carry some of the boxes in my car but not the big furniture.

So my house is just about empty. I am on the cleaning stages and tomorrow Ryan comes in. It will be so great to see him since its been over a month. I will be able to see him now for the rest of my life now and I can't wait. Hopefully the second week that I am there I will get a job and that will make everything better.
Soon wedding planning will be full swing!!!

YAY/Boo Car

Well I recieved a call from the auto shop saying my car was ready! I was super stoked considering it was was done 2 days early! Well when I saw it I was amazed because it looked like a new car. They had even detailed the inside of my car which means they removed all the dog hair which had to be a hard task.
I am driving home from work and my check engine light comes on. I immedatily freak out because at this point I am suppose to leave in a week. I drove to O'Rileys to check out a reader and learn that its a Code 1 error that means speed and performance sensor is messed up.
I took it the next day to a shop that the auto shop set me up with since they couldn't fix it and waited for 2 1/2 hours. They replace my spark plugs and tell me that the actual sensor will be in either Tuesday or Wednesday (note I am leaving on Thursday). They are going to try to overnight the part to get it here on Tuesday. I am keeping my fingers crossed!!
