Things Are looking up..

The move went as smoothly as we could expect considering the horrible weather this past week. There is a load in my Jeep still that needs to go into storage and a small pile of things in the apartment. We are pretty much settled in and things have been looking up.

I am learning to deal with Achilles not being allowed in the house. He gets a long really well with Bandit and Buddie so I know he is not so lonely. Now that the weather is nice again I plan on starting to take some time everyday to spend with him outside and play and train.

We also have been enjoying the Wii. Donnamae and David have Tiger Woods for the Wii and we found out we cannot add profiles because they already have 4 but we just hooked our Wii up and have been playing that. It is so much fun. We also are enjoying the Wii Resort game they have.

Randy, Chris's uncle, was able to fix my eliptical so Donna and I have been using it. Chris says if I lose weight and my wedding dress needs alterations we'll pay for it and not to worry. I was able to fit in my dream dress on Saturday. Not only did it fit it fit better all over! So my bust was just right too haha we were all dumbfounded! I put half down on it and I can't wait for mine to come in!

We really are going to be able to save a lot of money living here. We are so confident we are looking at buying instead of renting a house. Fingers crossed!

We still need to order flowers. I think on Monday I'll call this florist I wanted to try and use and see if I can setup an appointment. We have a meeting at the apartment that morning to find out what we need to fix to get our deposit back so I'm hoping it isn't too much. If we could get our deposit back that would cover the DJ in itself.. haha.. also we turned our cable box in today and they said they owe us 9 cents.. haha..

Higgin is adjusting, unfortunately Tiger, Donna's cat isn't too thrilled that Higgins is there so he is living solely in our room for now. She still has a kitten that she is watching and they actually got her spayed on Sunday so I'm not suprised she is so territorial. I am hoping in a week or so that things will calm down and he can roam the house.

All and all it is an adjustment but things are looking up and it is only for a few months.. ^_^

We got almost all the Save the Dates out .. only a few stragglers we need to mail. We were missing about 8 addresses but we have almost all of them now so yay! I hope everyone likes them and is able to use them. I think the book mark idea was a good one.. ^_^

New Adventures of a Future Green

So We are moving on Saturday. I am unsure about the future now except that I am still very excited to get married! Only 145 days to go now!

Finally got the save the dates in the mail yesterday from our photographer. I started working on getting them all in envelopes but I realized I packed my address book! I emailed my mom about it so she can get me addresses and I reminded Chris I need his family's addresses.

In other news Achilles graduated from Puppy class! We also found a class on Mondays so we can go back to the same trainer in July for his intermediate class. I really am happy about that I didn't want to have to go to a different trainer.

I also am going on Saturday to pick up our signature matte and the two 5x7s we are giving to our mothers. I loved the idea of a signature matte. You may never look at a guest book but this is something we'll hang up on the wall. Its our favorite photo from the engagement session and its going to be an 8x10 with a white blank matte around it for our guests to sign. Since our wedding is going to be under 100 people we thought this would be nice.

I made my first roasted chicken today. I am really curious to see how it tastes.

I better go eat!

Hope all of you are doing well!

Movin' and a Shakin'

So A lot has been happening in my life lately.

First off.. 149 days till I get married!

Okay now on to real news. My home computer went and fried itself the same week I was in training at work so I went a week without a computer! Crazy I know. I learned it is very annoying to have to correspond to emails via a blackberry curve. I really need a new phone but I'm probably going to hold on to this one for a while.

Chris and I have been intending to stick it out with our current apartment for another year. Mainly because our lease is up this month and we didn't want to try and move when we have so much wedding stuff going on. BUT the rule of 3 has hit us and we've made a big decision to move in with Chris's Mom, Donnamae for a few months.

First chris has some hefty bills that came up unexpectedly, a speeding ticket, and some unplanned but necessary medical things, then he blew a tire which we still need to replace, and finally this past Saturday we got a notice from our apartment complex that said they found out we have a second pet (we only have claimed Achilles) so they wanted a deposit for the second pet. Between wedding expenses and all this little fun bits we've decided to get out of dodge and save some money.

We are estimating that this will up our monthly savings by about 400 dollars. So by the end of september we hope for 3 things, to have the money for the dj and what we are going to pay for photography wise put aside, to have enough money for a deposit on a townhouse/house rental that has a fenced in back yard, and to have the money to buy a new mattress.. anymoney left over we intend to use towards our vacation in August and our Honeymoon.

Chris is also going to put is Harley up for sale again because he'll be at the same location that the bike actually is stored. *Fingers Crossed* we can sell that stupid bike and up our savings.

Neither of us reeeeally wants to move but its what is best for us at this time.

Hope all is well with you guys!
