We had a busy weekend. Visited FI's parents for his father's birthday. We probably went out to dinner every night last week due to being out of town or busy. I'm defintely trying to pull back on that and just keep up a good, healthy momentum until the wedding. We've just been super busy, went to our wedding town and did some things. We decided to get our wedding cake at Publix. That's right the Pub! Our caterer's offering for a cake and the price just wasn't in the budget. There is one nice Publix on the way to the island resort and we thought, why not? Cake wasn't or isn't a priority for me or my fiance. I want it there, but its not one of my main money items. People, the cake prices are so cheap and they were very nice in assisting us. They also offered a lot of design choices and flavors. Easy Peasy. We were in and out.
I wouldn't be lying if I said that I was ready for this to be over. I'm soooo excited about the wedding itself - but I'm o.v.e.r planning. Just dealing with a million vendors, a budget and pleasing (or at least pretending to) random relatives is enough. I've pretty much had it.
But, on a better note - I believe we are getting a dog! We have some close friends, one of whom is a vet grad school student, who takes in stray dogs she finds. We've been talking about getting a dog and what we want but they have convinced us he is a great dog. He has basically been "test-driven" by them and their two hyper dogs. They say he just remains happy and calm. He def. has Rottweiler in him, but doesn't show any type of aggressive behavior. They said they would keep him over the honeymoon, neuter him and start training him as our wedding gift. I'm excited and FI is realllly excited, he's been wanting a dog forever. So here we go!
Bridesmaid's gifts:
Just ordered this from the J.Crew sale for $8.00 apiece - are you kidding? They are perfect for a beachy gift and I plan on filling them with fun beach stuff like navy flip flops - Fab-o!
Hitting up some outlets tommorow in preparation for the honeymoon and bachelorette party next weekend.

1. The bridesmaid gifts are adorable- and what a steal!
2. I am also a tabber- right now I've got 9, yeah 9, tabs! Mostly because we're planning a trip to the west coast so I've got trip research tabbed. But I also tab things like recipes, real estate etc. I feel like closing a window is so risky- never mind that it's all in my browser history...
I'm a tabber but mostly because I have a touch of add and need to be doing 50 things at once! I love the bridemaid's gifts - great idea!!
Great gifts for the bridesmaid.
Publix usually has a pretty good bakery, so I am sure the cake will turn out great. I love the JCrew bags, and what a great price!
What a steal on the great JCrew bag! love it!
loving the new look also!
and I'm insanely jealous of the new dog - congratulations! I want a dog so badly. good luck!!
Congrats on the possible new pooch! My husband and I are very passionate about rescue dogs as our two are rescues. They seriously make the best dogs ever. We're fostering a 3rd currently - sounds like a similar situation to your friend's. We hope to find her a happy home soon too! Best of luck!
