So last weekend I almost crippled my fiance (all because I hate his cookie burning stove).
He seems to be walking just fine now but there for a while getting him up and down the stairs was a chore. As mentioned before, we moved alot of heavy appliances on Sat. On Sunday (after refusing a back massage cause he wanted to get to work on the flowerbeds), Shea went out to the back of the house to dig holes and I went to the front to dig more holes. He said he was on his second shovelful when he heard the pop in his lower back. Long story short, we iced him down, put him in a chair and gave him pain meds. He's working from home this week, seeing a chiropractor and as of yesterday, he no longer needs a cane! Anywho why the mailbox you might wonder...its because since he's home, I'm getting immediate access to the mail. I've been calling him in the afternoon to find out who RSVP'd. Immediate Gratification. Yep, silver lining and all, maybe not for Shea, but I'm sure enjoying having him home (Prince and the kitties are enjoying it too!)

Bridesmaid dresses arrived and Taste Testing went really well!
So if you're wondering what you'll be eating at our wedding reception, well now you know the menu:
beef, chicken, mashed potatoes, salad and veggies. hahaha Went to the Hyatt and they did a fancy taste testing. Liked the food alot, liked one better then the other. We also went over other issues like white table clothes or black, extra black napkins for men, check. Anyway, I think Mom, Don, Shea and I all agreed on our choices. Hopefully you too will enjoy the food.
Oh ya, to cap off the week, the bridesmaid dresses came in and we've already UPS's Emily's dress to Cinci. Check that off the list.
Looking forward to relaxing this weekend. We're meeting up with friends so should be fun. Hope you too have a wonderful Memorial weekend.

Frig, Stove and the Goose
First off, the wedding invitations were sent out on Friday, yeah!
Today, Shea and I bonded by moving large objects from our house to my old house and back to our house. We moved Shea's icky cookie burning stove over to my old house and took my stove and fridg back to our home after I dumped the contents of the freezer into a cooler. Shea did the heavy lifting; I made helpful suggestions. Smirk.
Shea decided that my fridge should be in the kitchen and his should be outside in the garage; I agreed. So... I moved the contents of his fridge into mine and then we switched them out. Then Shea got to play with hooking up the ice machine. fun and excitement. quick comment, the floor under stoves and fridges that haven't moved in 10+ years is DISGUSTING; thank you to the makers of 409! After cleaning my stove, I baked chocolate cupcakes with custard centers and chocolate frosting for Jim and Christina's potluck. Had a great time and my cupcakes weren't burnt! Yea stove. Last but not least, we moved the cement goose, which now has a place of honor on the front porch. It was a warm day so she's got on her hot pink plether swimsuit and flowery straw hat. I feel "moved in" even if there's still some items that need to come over after the wedding. Shea and I are beat! Oh ya, I forgot, we also stopped at home depot and picked up some flowers and flowering bushes. 2moro, we'll plant them. Goodnight all.

Office Shower - WOW!
I can’t thank my office friends enough. I’m so excited. Tonight I’m going to serve Shea leftovers on our new China. Shea actually ewwwwed and awwed with my boss Henry when each piece was opened. Today we received another setting of my china from my parents. From my office friends, we received all the serving pieces AND 3 accent plates AND 2 crystal wine glasses among other items (including this incredibly pretty butterfly chip and dip platter). WAY COOL. Pictures to follow…

Closing in on 2 months Til the Wedding
Bridal Shots
Today, Mom, Don and I wandered around the Arboretum with our wonderful photographers Lydia and George Troop. I was gussied up in my wedding finery. Mom and Don were the spritzers (the bouquet)and carriers (the train). It was pretty fun, weather was in the 80s. The flowers were gorgeous, wish we could have stayed there to play. Asked Mom why she wasn't carrying the gown like Pippa and she said if there were thousands of people watching, she'd carry it that way too! Anyway, after seeing the photographers in action, I'm feeling really good about picking them and I can't wait to see the pictures. Too bad Shea won't see them until after the wedding lol. Mom and Don...thank you thank you for everything!
May 25th
Mom, Don, Shea and I are scheduled to taste some meals for the reception at the Hyatt. Can't wait, Holly mentioned that they would decorate the table in the colors to see if we liked them. Yep, this part is fun and hopefully quite tasty!
2moro
More fun 2moro as my officemates are throwing us a shower at lunch. Thanks in advance to Sally and Kayla for hosting the party. You both are awesome!
On the ukky side of preparing for the Wedding...
We went over to my house on Sunday and started cleaning. Shea vacumed and I cleared a path so we can move my frig and stove over.
