Save the Dates

So I've found a website with a really creative easy way to email out save the dates. I've been meaning to get on this however with my pending trip to Hawaii (leaving this Friday, CAN'T WAIT!) As well as all the other things I've had going on, I just haven't had the time. I'm hoping to get something out this week. As its soon to be 5 months away! Wow, time flies! So be on the look out for yours! Hopefully it will be successful. I'm also thinking of having people respond with their home address so I will have them. Just thoughts. Lots been going on, so trying to give all the updates.

Crate and Barrel

So we went to Crate and Barrel this morning for one of their registry events. While I had resolved to only do BBB (which I totally still love by the way!) Crate and Barrel had a few other kinda fun items and cheaper things which were decorative and nice that will complete our registry. I now feel confident there are plenty of options at different price points for all. We also got to enjoy some demos w/ the pasta attachment from Kitchenaid- fun! My only comment for future registry-ees is that Bed Bath and Beyond was much more attentive and informative and had more options compared to Crate and Barrel, however they had a lot of fun and usable decorative items that one could use for entertaining, etc.

Houses and such...

So I guess I can let it out... We accepted a contract on a Duplex in Dogtown. Super cute. We both made a few concessions but we're all really excited! We're still pending inspections, etc. however feel that it should hopefully all go smoothly. I don't want to say too much more than that in case things don't work out, however we both feel really good about it. Exciting! Just wanted to share!

Fancy Fortune Cookies

Evening folks... been awhile, been super busy still. House hunting is exhausting! We're working on a house in Dogtown and see how it all pans out.

I've got a few random items I wanted to share with you. On groupon they had a coupon for this company called Fancy Fortune Cookies. You can add fun little sayings and get many different flavors. While we weren't planning on doing favors, I think this is a simple inexpensive favors that a different and fun. You'll just have to see which flavors I'll choose and sayings!

Also would like to comment that they were wonderful in responding and even sent me some free samples! Awesome! Nothing left to doubt!

A New Direction

Wow, so I’ve been sans computer a few days so I haven’t been able to post, not only that but I suppose I’m still in run around like a chicken w/ my head cut off mode. I must say that life is busy and figuring out our lives together and we don’t even live together is a new adventure. Luckily I love that my iphone calendar syncs with my google calendar, and well that’s how I run my life, literally! I did get Tim to also start a google cal to assist us in planning things. I swear it sounds stupid but I have tons of things cooking and the best way for me to keep things straight is to add it on the calendar, including little reminders to myself. I do love that!

As far as the house hunting goes, we’ve taken a new direction. Liz and I are checking out duplexes in which we’d share and each have a side. I think this is an awesome idea and I’m quite excited about it and the possibilities. It could really give us a rental prop for the future, which would be wonderful! A lil extra income, ya know? So tonight we’ll start that search and hopefully find something good. We’ve just on a deadline, hoping to put a contract on something by April 30th for the special home credit for new buyers. Let’s get this going!

As far as wedding stuff is concerned, I know I need to work on some type of save the date type thing to email out, like my friend Laura did. With just the basic info as well as hotel info, etc. I’m also getting ready to order invites, quite exciting. The only major things left 1. Honeymoon 2. Cake, everything else is minor. Very exciting but minor.

I also hope I can enjoy a lil of that sun today.

Hawaii conference countdown, 22 days to go! I’m so looking forward to that!
