secret "cleaning" agents...

Halloween at OWI

The catalog team was dressed this year as "Secret Cleaning Agents" and it was pretty cool. We took the idea of secret fbi agents, all dressed in black and added cleaning supplies.
Matthew's idea. I think James came up with the wearing black thing. Anyway, we won third place, although
I think we should have gotten 2nd, we were pretty good.

The photo you see is our "serious" pose. I actually look thinner in this photo, I like it!

Jeff and Ricki were rednecks. Perfect rednecks. Beer cans of bad beer and all. It was really impressive!

we have a hall!!!

We have a hall! i'm very excited!!! it's hard to plan these things when you can only talk to your fiance a few days a week!!
Now, we still need to find a place to get married at. I would love to get married outside, but you can't trust September weather can you? I'm not sure what to do. If we don't do that, then we need to find a non-denominational church (small) to get married at.....that's a tough one.
We also need a DJ and a Photographer. I've sent some emails out to people, so we'll see what happens with that.
After those things, I think we're in the clear until after the holidays. Those are the big things.

I love this! there's so much to it though!!

we're working on it!

Well, I think that it's time to get this wedding moving! We talked this weekend about what we'd like to do and now I'm really getting excited.
We're shooting for Sept. 30 or Oct. 7th, whichever ends up working out as far as places are concerned.
We are going to do just a small wedding, immediate family only, and a huge reception. I think the immediate family only is already going to cause problems with his mom because she wants her sister there. If my father can't have his, I don't think she should have hers, but I'll leave that up to Steve to decide. I guess if I am going to have Juliana and Lane that wouldn't matter.
We also would rather have a party room rather than a formal hall. Much cheaper! We could decorate a party center to look beautiful I think, although I don't think that my father thinks so.
Mom is going to be great, she's so excited already!

Anyway, all I have to say for now is ~ I'm the bride!

It's Friday!!

I can't say enough how happy I am about that! I hope this is a good weekend.

Mom, Steve and I are going to Ashland University tonight to see the "Who's Line is it Anyway" guys at AU's homecoming. Then tomorrow I need to run a few errands and then Steve and I are going to finish setting up our apartment. Sunday he goes back to night shift, so I think Sunday is going to be a relaxing day. Watch football, lay around, all that good stuff.

We're moved in, our apartment feels like a hotel to me. I love it, but I need more storage in my bathroom I think. Steve started me on his Bowflex, and I hope it goes good for me. All I know right now is that I'm sore!!

I need to sleep in, but Thank God it's Friday!
