More updates! Can you believe it?

So, things just seem to be moving right along now! I have a few more updates for y'all. We went to Men's Wearhouse Monday night and picked out the tuxes! We are going to do a classic, two button tux with vest and tie. No bow-tie, just tie. Adam's vest is ivory, has a bit of a paisley pattern on it (very subtle) and a striped ivory tie (again, very subtle). The groomsmen are going to be in basic black vests with "watermelon" and black striped ties. The watermelon color is like a fuschia. That's just what they call it. I love progress!

We also picked out Adam's ring and I will go pick it up tomorrow. It is tungston (I have no idea if I spelled that right) and kind of a muted steel looking color. It's got dark gray around the middle, too. I like it a lot. It looks very.....modern, plus it holds up well against scratches and what not.

The hotel for the night before the wedding (where my girls and I will stay) and the night of our wedding is booked! This is one of the perks of Adam's job. He knows people who have connections to all kinds of people. So, he asked one of the Bengals guys if they could help him on getting good rates on hotels and he came through! We are staying at the Westin downtown. The suite we booked for the night before is a very expensive room that we got discounted A TON! I mean A TON! So, that was good news. They also got us a great rate for the night of the wedding, so we are pretty excited about that. It is always great when we can save some money!!!

Finally, I believe we have finally decided where we are going on our honeymoon! We are about 95% sure we are going to Sarasota, Florida. Siesta Key, Turtle Beach, etc. are all around there so that will be nice. Also, the Reds first spring training game is on February 25th, so we will go to that. I told Adam we could go to ONE game. I'm not trying to spend my honeymoon at the ballpark as much as I love my Reds! Oh, by the way, we are driving!!! I am TERRIFIED to fly, although I've done it a number of times, but I am just not feeling it. So, the Sunday afternoon after the wedding we are heading south, probably stopping over in Atlanta and then driving in to Florida! We will get there Monday, leave Friday sometime, get to Louisville Saturday, stay in Louisville, go to the Louisville basketball game Sunday afternoon and then go home! We won't be tired, right?! We love road trips, though, so I am sure it will be awesome!

I will give more updates as they come!!!!!

I'm a Slacker

Yeah, so I obviously haven't been updating like I should! I'm gonna try to be better about this. Really. I am. :-)

So, let's see. Do I have any updates? To be honest, the major things are done. We already have the venue, the dresses, the cake, the flowers, the photographer. Oh.....there you go. Cathy and Mark Lyons are going to do our photography. For those who don't know, they have been friends of our family for years. She did my senior pictures and recently took family pics of all of us. I really like their work and am really excited that they agreed to do this!!!

I am currently in the process of trying to find some good "wedding" shoes. This seems to be much harder than I originally thought because I don't want silver, gold, or clear. I want a very subtle off white and I don't really want strappy because it's going to be February. I have gone all over......Macy's, Von Maur, Off Broadway, Nine West, on and on and on. I guess I will just have to have a shoe day and shop all day!!!

I did buy the earrings for my girls. We are going with gold. I am happy with them. They are pretty simple, but have a little bit of "funk" to them. So, the earrings will be gold, the dresses black, shoes black or gold (their choosing), and almost fuschia flowers for them with probably gold ribbon around the stems. Yay!!!

Also, Adam and I headed out to Louisville this weekend where Jack and Gail Jeffries live (more friends of the family). Jack is a graphic designer and he helped create our invitations, RSVP cards, envelopes, and also is going to make our programs. We are so thankful that he is doing this for us so a HUGE thank you to him. As always, it was really good getting to see them and anytime I get to head out to the Ville it makes me happy. Go Cards!!!

Well, I better get back to work! I'm on my lunch break, but I will try hard to update more often!!!!
