We made a trip down to our wedding site & did some contract signing/checking up on things/meeting with the florist. I really really like our florist and I'm excited to see what she does. We decided to add more color to our flowers, using just white & shades of green. The bridesmaids will have green & white hydrangeas along with those flowers that look like little buttons of moss (appropriately called the "Kermit") - the guys with have a small white flower (can't remember the name now) with the kermit as their boutionneres. Then all of the centerpieces (for the church and the reception) will have all of those flowers, including green "belles of ireland" and white "deli" flowers. (Sorry about the descriptions - can't you see why we needed a hands on florist!) Anyway I'm really excited about them now that I can visualize them - i like the white & green and hopefully it will create a fresh/modern look.
Then we have been moving FI into a new apartment for the next few months. Its been taking forever, I never realized he had so much! And why does he insist on hanging on to some of the ugliest furniture I've ever seen - Goodwill eighties beach style pink & green (and not in a good way) couch. Thank god for slipcovers!
Moving also makes us realize that we wish we could register for a nice new couch/dining set ehh - realizing the prices of furniture we want is a little disappointing!
I started last week with the personal trainer last week and so far so good! I like it so far and I think I'll really like it once I get into the schedule. Its also good to have to answer to someone about your workouts/food habits (not that she's militant, but she does question!). Now, I have started the food diary, which has honestly been the worst week to start it. I have been burning the calories (probably enough to eat pizza every night) because I have been running up and down stairs/carrying boxes for the past few days in this heat, too. But you know when you are in the process of moving, its hard to cook - ya can't find utensils, etc. So, we have been pretty much eating out every meal (and consuming a few "light" beers) after a hard days work. I want to tell the PT, please lady understand that I don't eat this way all the time. Nonetheless, I'm glad FI's moved in and we will both be getting back to regular schedules soon.
I'll post more later but hope everyone has had a great week.

We're using kermit mums too. Our flower girl's pomander's are made of them.
Also, we registered at pottery barn and the lady suggested that we actually register for furniture. It seemed presumptuous to me, but she reminded me of the discount you get when you close out the registry. If you get some gift cards and a discount, it might make things more affordable.
I'm also using the Kermit mums. I just love them. My bridesmaids' bouquets are clutches of them with a little bit of orange blossom. It's really simple but very elegant, I think.
We also registered for furniture at Pottery Barn. We figured people would assume that we didn't actually expect someone to buy it, but that we might like gift cards to go towards it. Plus the 10% discount afterwards really adds up on big pieces like that.
