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.

1. Rehearsal Dinner will be at the Butcher Block in Plattsburgh, NY.
2. Bouquet's and Boutonnieres
3. Center pieces
4. Signed up for Pre Cana classes

We just found out that the Inn at Smithfield seems to be filling up fast so make those reservations soon! Here is the phone number again (518) 561-7750. Please book it under Munn-Kimball wedding.

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.

Wedding Planning through Procrastination

So instead of studying the typical developmental progression of fine motor skills (which is next on my list of subjects to cram into my brain before my exam tomorrow), I decided to update the blog because I feel like we actually did something proactive in wedding planning this week which made me feel so good. Randy got out of work early on Friday (thank you Shadis!) and we decided to finally get our Save the Dates printed. My original plan was to go tomorrow after my exam but this was so much better because we got to together. We went in thinking they would download Randy's design, we would pick out paper, order the save the dates, and then come back in a week to pick them up. What really happened was we went in at 5pm with a jump drive holding the design's PDF file and left at 5:30pm with a box of 120 Save the Date cards and envelopes. It was so easy and the printers at Jenkintown Business Graphics were so nice and helpful.

During a study break yesterday, I bought labels and completed my first mail merge through repeated trial and error. I felt guilty for my extended study break so I hit the books for another couple of hours with the Save the Dates constantly in the back of my mind. So I finally gave in and started stuffing, addressing, and stamping envelopes. It felt so good and relaxing.

We still have a couple more addresses to get and a few more books of stamps to buy and then they will be out in the mail. Hopefully by the end of the week these babies will be out announcing the date our wedding to all our guests. yippeeee!!!!!!!!!

This was my make-shift assembly line. The OT books made an excellent stand to hold my address labels.
