Mapping the North Country

Our latest wedding endeavor has been working on the wedding invitations. Randy finished that actual invitation and response cards yesterday. His newest project has been working on the map of the north country that we will be adding to the invitations that will be sent out. We got the idea from weddingbee.com which had a blog article on DIY maps. We used googlemaps to pull up the map of the area, then Randy using his super computer skills made it so that it looks like a handwritten drawing instead of a computer printout. There are a couple more tweaks that need to be made before it is done but once they are complete, the invitations will be going out in the mail. Here is a picture of Randy hard at work on the map. We thought about taking a picture of me eating tortilla chips while watching but I left my chair to lay down instead (haha).

So you think you can dance?

We had our first dance lesson this evening. It was a lot of fun and now we can safely walk in a straight line (with Randy walking forwards and me walking backwards) as well as a basic box step. We aren't known for our smooth moves (to be honest I don't move much beyond my shoulders when I dance) but our teacher told Randy he looked like an athlete and that it seemed like I had a music and rhythm background so be prepared for some smooth moves.
We won't tell you what song we are dancing to but our goal is to not look like we are in junior high and to not be cheesy. Wish us luck with our 8 remaining lessons!!

Ring Bearer Bowl

Randy and I decided to go a different route when choosing how our rings will be transported down the aisle. Instead of a traditional ring bearer pillow, we ordered a custom made bowl from Paloma's Nest on Etsy.com. The inscription on the bowl says "Bridget & Randy, 10.10.09, Two Hearts, One Soul". It came today in the mail and it looks great. We will change out the ribbon for one that matches the colors of the wedding. After the wedding, we will use the bowl as a Christmas ornament to commemorate our wedding! Here is a picture of the bowl!

Honeymoon!!!!!!!!

We booked our honeymoon officially yesterday. We will be spending 6 nights and 7 days at Atlantis on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. We will leave on October 12th and return on October 18th. We are staying in the Beach Towers and got a room with an ocean view! The entire Atlantis resort is a water park with pools, pristine beaches, water slides, and lazy rivers. One of the things we are looking forwards to the most is a deep water swim with bottlenose dolphins!!!!!!
Check out www.atlantis.com to see pictures of where we are staying and what we will be doing.

Bridesmaid Dresses

The bridesmaid dresses were ordered!! The dresses are from the Wtoo designs from Watters bridal. They are silk shantung (the same material as my dress!) in amaretto. Rachel is the best maid of honor. She did a great job organizing the crew and working with the bridal shop so I wouldn't have to. Thank you!!!!

The lastest things to check off the list:

We've made some progress in the past couple of weeks and it feels good to check some things off the never ending list.

Something Blue!

I bought my something blue last week while I was out shopping with Rachel. I'm so excited!!!

I bought my veil while out shopping today. It was a fraction of the veil budget so I'm psyched about it. I'm not posting a picture of it though because I want it to be a surprise for the wedding day.
