Wedding Wednesday

I'm starting to see the light!!

Although my to-do list isn't shrinking, the items on the list as getting smaller and smaller. We still have a lot to do, don't get me wrong.. we are still working on the music and have a meeting with the DJ on the 15th.. I am still working on every word of our ceremony, our meeting with Jerry was postponed until the 22nd due to dear Mr Jack Frost last week.. I have called the lady I would like to do my alterations/bustle, but still dont have a schedule/plan.. I am still trying out make-up artists... and the list goes on and on.

BUT we have decided on our rehearsal dinner venue, our "grooms cake" decision has been made, hair appts/schedule is taken care of, and a lot of the details have gotten accomplished. While doing the details, I have really been enjoying looking at wedding pictures of my family.

Here is my sweet cousin, Danielle and her husband Joe....

She eerily looks like my Nana on her wedding day:
Nana... Danielle... Danielle... Nana... CRAZY resemblance that I had never noticed before until today!

As soon as I got home from Super Bowl on Monday I started stamping, stuffing, and EW, licking our invitations - it was my goal to get them out before I leave for San Fran tomorrow. A few hours later: invitations - DONE!

And dropped in the mail Tuesday morning! This is such a huge relief to me! I have been stressed about getting them out and now its all said and done and people have already been texting me that they have received them... ooooh Happy Day!

What other updates do I have right now? OH! My nakey bridesmaid wont be nakey any more.. we found a dress in Colorado thats the same color and we will have cut and altered to match the other dresses! YAY!

I am really looking forward to my bridal shower on Sunday and spending time with my girls, family and friends. It will be much needed after my GO GO GO past few months. The great news is I am slowing down at work from now until the wedding (well, sort of, I do have a 1800 person meeting in Vegas 2 weeks before the wedding, but if I didnt have that I would more than likely become Bridezilla!) And all the fun stuff is starting - Bridal Shower, DFF Shower, Couples Shower, Bachelorette Party, Bridal Luncheon then THE DAY! So excited about the next 2 months and to share it all with you!

Happy Wednesday!

Pizza, Pizza!!

One thing J&I can always agree on is pizza for dinner (lunch or even breakfast for that matter!) We l.o.v.e. it. Pathetically the Dominos we order from knows our order when we call in. 1 medium pepperoni and green pepper and 1 medium sausage and onion. EMBARASSING!

As you can see our taste in pizza is quite opposite, but when we make tortilla pizzas we agree on every topping.

I thought I would share one of our fav and easy dins with you all.

All you need:

- tortillas
- pizza sauce

- mozzarella cheese

- Garlic (YUMMMMM a must in our house!)

- Italian Seasoning

- Your choice in toppings (our favs: sundried tomatoes, onions, yellow, orange, red peppers, fresh basil)

Spread your sauce and garlic, pile on your toppings, cover with cheese and season it up!

Bake at 425* for 12 minutes for crispy goodness! Pour wine and Enjoy!

Fishy Update!

The lucky 7 are still alive and kickin! Let's hope they can survive round 2 of the winter weather this week!

Go Fish!

As most of you know, last spring J and I did a back yard make-over... well, halfway at least. Our "to-do list" is still long, but on pause until 4.16.11 comes and goes.

For J's birthday we attempted to have 3 pretty gold fishies in the pond... Layla destroyed/ate that idea before the poor things were even released into the pond.

One night after dinner at my parents we stopped in at Petsmart and bought 10 27cent fish. I learned from buying my $5 a piece goldfish!

Only 2 I named, knowing better than to get attached to all 10... clearly they werent going to make it... especially if Layla had any say to the situation. "Mo" had a black mohawk down his bright orange body, and Paco - he had a black mustache marking around his lips. Every day we counted how many there were. 7 survived. Lucky seven! Although Mo didnt make it, and he was my favorite... Paco is now leading the school.

J, Ricky, Justin and myself all fed them... every day... the grew and grew and grew. They entertain Layla, who we still catch trying to fish them with her mouth.

Jarrett has become attached to them. The first time it talked about freezing this winter, jarrett immediately asked my dad how to help them survive. Talk of putting them in the guest bath tub was even suggested. But they have survived! All Lucky 7 still going strong.

Now today the low is 13* - Yowzas! And we are deeply concerned about our Lucky 7. Some more than others... J has added water jugs and water bottles to help keep circulation going. As you can see below Layla broke the ice to make sure her friends were still swimming around down there. We have no evidence of whats going on down there....

So friends, please pray our little friends will survive the crazy Ice Storm 2011 aka Ruiner of my Super Bowl week. If they dont make it, we will hold a service next week and you all are invited.

Stay warm & safe sweet friends!
