Got that done...got that done...

So this past week, Daniel and I have gotten a lot accomplished wedding wise. I am soooo proud of us!! My list used to be SOOO long, but we get to mark a lot of stuff off of it and I couldn't be more happier!! On the 13th of August, Daniel and I went to look at tuxes and picked some out. I am sooo excited!! His is going to be a black coat with cream tie, undershirt, and vest and the groomsman are going to be a black coat with the same color red as the bridesmaids. I am SUPER excited!!! The groomsman are going to be wearing cream flowers, and daniels flower will be red. I am SOOO excited!!
Then on the 24th, we went and talked to the cake lady and ordered our cake. It is going to be 4 tiered and all pretty decorated on the side, plus Daniel ordered a Groom's cake, but I am going to keep that secret as to what it is cuz he may want it to be a surprise. But it was all SUPER cheap which makes me SUPER excited!!
We also turned in our passport information to the post office, so we should be getting those soon as well.
And we got a hold of the DJ and got our date reserved which was a HUGE relief since I had tried to call them like 3 or 4 times plus left 2 email messages and no reply!!!
and other HUGE news...WE GOT OUR VERY OWN PLACE!!! We signed the lease the morning of the 24th!! It is a townhouse practically right down the road from his parents, and I LOVE it!! We move in on the 5th!! Which it will mainly be me there by myself until we are married, but I am SOOO happy we got a place!!! YAY!!
And lastly, this week I have been dedicating every waking minute to invitations. Trust me, they are VERY time consuming!! I first tried at my sister's house, but her computer wouldn't coopoerate. Then on the 26th, I used Daniel's parent's computer to start making them. It took FOREVER to get the margins right and to get it to print where it needed to print. Then on the 27th, I spent 8 hours...NO JOKE...printing them all off and adding jewels or bows where needed. Oh and getting addresses and addresssing them all!! Well not all, for I have a stack of about 30 with no addresses on them. But then on the 28th (yesterday), I took them to the post office to get them weighed to see how much stamps would be. One cost 1.05 plus the 44 cent response card and the other one was 64 cents with 44 cent response card. So I spend $116 just on freaking postage!!! And then this morning...I set my alarm for 9...got up...which was super hard for me to do since I had been up till about four adding stamps and licking envelpes and putting on the last finishing touches...but I got about half of my invites mailed!! I am SOOOOOO freaking excited!!! This is A LOT of work!!!
So tonight, I took the night off. The only invitations I have left to do are people that Daniel's parent's invited that they don't know their address. So I got to relax tonight. It was SOO nice! But things are really coming together, and it is really a great relief!! I need to make a shout out to Donna...for she again gave me her bonus check which paid for both Daniel's and I's passports and all the postage. So thanks SOOOO much Donna!! You are the best in-laws a girl could ask for!! I know how hard you work for that money!! So I do really appreciate you giving me it!! Also, I need to make a shout out to my momma for paying for the cake!! You are the bestest mommy a girl could ask for!! I thank you soooooo much!! I love you both sooooo much!!
And now, I go relax some more :)
