Happy Halloween!!!

Dress/Church

My parents came to KC this weekend. My wedding dress is made & delivered! So, I definitely had to try it on! My mom & dad came to check it out too :) The dress was even prettier than I remember :) It was so fun! I can't wait to put the dress on in 7 months for Our Big Day!!!!

My dad came to check out my dress for the first time....he was like a fish out of water! Too many ruffles/bows/dress/frills/lace going on at the Gown Gallery for him! I think that is probably the first AND last time, dad will be coming with us for a dress fitting (we wore him out!) :)

Then, we stopped by St. Agnes, to take a quick peek of where we will be getting married!!!!!

It was a fun weekend, catching up on wedding stuff, watching some football, and we took Mom, Dad, Ryan, & Katie to Oklahoma Joes (my favorite Kansas City BBQ! yum!!!)

I'm meeting with the invitation gal again this week - I'm getting very close on getting the final invitation designed! Then we're headed to Columbus, Nebraska for my cousin's wedding, and a little Thurman family reunion :)

223 days to go!

Nebraska Weekend

We headed to Lincoln for a fun-filled weekend, where LOTS of Brent's HS & College friends came back for the Nebraska-Texas game. We had a great time catching up with everybody, tailgating, getting some Valentino's....and then there was the game - beautiful day, but the Huskers couldn't quite do it :(

236 days to go!

Meeting with the invitation lady tomorrow! :)

Cake Lady!

I booked our Cake Lady today! She works out of her house, and did my friend Emily Bauer's brother's wedding cake too. She is great! This is similar to what I want for our wedding cake, & the groom's cake that might have a Husker theme :)

240 days!

8 months to go!

Hi all,

I've been doing some cake tasting lately, trying to figure out what shape of cake, how many layers, flavor, color, design, groom's cake, etc.....I've met with 2 ladies, I really meshed well with one of them, so I should be getting the cake "situation" figured out soon!

I ran Market 2 Market (Omaha to Lincoln) last weekend with Brent's cousin Brett & some of his friends....84 miles, 11 hours of running, perfect weather, it was a great day, just a long day of running, I have been moving pretty slow the last couple of days... but it was fun! Definitely going to yoga tomorrow.

8 MONTHS TO GO!

Starting with 15 months, we're almost half way there! It's gone relatively fast, I'm sure the last 6 months will fly! After booking all the "big things," now I am trying to get all the "little things" checked off the list!

My wedding dress is made & is in Kansas City!!!! I am going to try it on at the end of the month :) I also got the bridesmaids dresses ordered last Thursday, they will be in around Christmas. And, I'm meeting with the invitation gal again in the next week, for round 2 of invitation possibilites!

Yay!

The Taylors Visit!

Brent's parents came to Kansas City for a long weekend trip to visit :) We had lots of wedding stuff to show them!

Thursday night, we went to Deer Creek's Open House - so Jan & Daryl could check out our reception site, taste the food, have a few drinks & meet the wedding coordinators there. Friday, Jan & I went on a search for her "Mother of the Groom" dress. She might have found the one (the very first one she put on!) if we can find the right color & size! Then, we had dinner at Jalapeno's (one of our fav local Mexican places), & Llwellyns for a great band we like to hear too. (Daryl didn't want to leave!) Saturday - on to the rainy Plaza Arts Festival & a Husker football game too :) Sunday, we even got to show them St. Agnes, where we're getting married, & our rehearsal dinner site, Wil Jenny's.

It was a fun weekend! Great to see them & get them caught up on wedding hub-bub (I think Jan was a little more interested, than Daryl :)

I've also starting meeting/talking to cake ladies! Lots of yummy cake to taste out there! Gotta figure out what shape/size/design/flavor/filling, etc. for our cake!

253 days to go!
