Weekend Recap

This weekend was low-key and I loved it. The last low-key weekend for awhile, so we took advantage.
Friday we did some shopping around for invitations, took a long break at Books a Million and then looked around at wedding rings (for me!) It was a lovely jewelry store and I think we found one that we liked. That night I babysat for a favorite professor couple of mine and their almost 2 yr. old Alice. The cutest 2 yr old I know (o.k., the only 2 yr old I know!) She was adorable and went to sleep early so I got caught up on some t.v - What Not To Wear Wedding Edition - that was a great show, although it was sooo obvious who their favorite bride was (hello she got a custom made dress by Amsale!).

**An aside, one of my Ultimate Dream Jobs - would be to work on What Not To Wear. Now, I'm not claiming I could be as chic as Stacey everyday. But let me tell ya, I love the fact that she is on national tv telling people that Christmas sweaters are WRONG!**

Saturday - we did absolutely nothing! and it was great. We did some stuff around the house, did about 6 or so loads of laundry (2 people - really!?), made a Saturday trip to Wal-Mart (BAD idea, I was ripping my hair out - way too many people there). I hit the gym for a bit and then we grilled out some burgers and corn (until the grill caught on fire - time for a new grill for FI!), had a few beers and hung out. We then ended up going out to a friend's lake house later that night (an unexpected trip) to spend the night because FI realized a whole slew of his rugby alumni buddies were in town. So, thus we played drinking games and managed to party until 4 in the morning! Whew, we were going to stay and play at the lake all day Sunday - but needless to say, we were both so hungover and tired, we just wanted to get back to our place. So, we managed to take showers and go to church (I know!) and then take a 3 hour nap! (I absolutely NEVER nap).
Sunday was just another do nothing day but so nice. We napped, made lunch, I folded some laundry and we went to see Knocked Up. Funny - definitely crude and absolutely raunchy, but funny - we laughed through it. Then, we came home watched some tv, read and went to bed. Et Voila! the weekend.

This coming weekend is a brunch and shower for me, held in my hometown and I'm so excited! Its the first time a lot of my friends have been together in awhile. Also, it's Father's Day weekend, so we have a nice brunch at a local inn planned. I've got a lot to do this week:

- Print invites (we decided to go with the invite "kits" which include everything EXCEPT the outer envelope, the one that is actually stamped and addressed - this is my problem with DIY projects, you always seem to forget something - anyway, we've got to now find envelopes sized big enough for our invites. If anyone has ideas about a store with a lot of envelope choices, I would appreciate!)
- Address said invites.
- Work on hostess gifts (framed pictures - print off pictures and get frames)
- Father's Day gifts
- Get outfits ready for weekend
- Figure out my bridal day hair/make-up appointment

Thats all I can think of for now!
