Busy Month

My honey's birthday was celebrated this passed Wednesday at a local restaurant in our tiny town. It was a magnificent and peaceful dinner that ended with some pumpkin pie. Yummm. Let's not ignore the fact that it began with steak and ribs, haha..
For his first birthday that we were together, my dad and I went out to Wal Mart, and I decided to buy him this really cool Ironman watch. Waterproof, silicone texture, charcoal gray and orange highlights.. you could set alarms, time yourself, etc. I thought it was perfect! Well, he loved it; however, it has gotten lost over the years ): I had come to the decision more recently that it was about damn time to replace it.
My new favorite site deserves a mention, as it has revolutionized my wedding, beautified my home and has added to my jewelry collection, as well as give some splendiforous gift ideas: Etsy.

I also ordered his anniversary gift from a seller on Etsy who made it by hand, and engraved it for me:


On a wedding note...
I've sent out those pesky invitations and am expecting returns any day now. I'm becoming fairly anxious about their arrival and I'm just too excited to wait any longer.
We finally dropped off my dress at the dry cleaners! Two darn weeks. Oh well, it's not like it is essential for it to sit in my closet. I've noticed the large accumulation of wedding junk and I'm itching to get rid of it. Anything that isn't personalized or meaningful to me, is up for sale!
To lessen the wedding load, I have given Matt a few more responsibilities. He, alone, will plan out our honeymoon (:
Since it would be impossible for me to be everywhere at once on my wedding day, I thought it would be simpler to create a to-scale map of where table and chair locations would be. In order to have complete accuracy, I'll need my RSVPs to draw up a total. I ordered all of those tablecloths I'm going to need. Phew, was that pricey. I'm really hoping I can make at least a decent chunk back from them afterward.
