In the lives of Teresa and Greg not much has been happening since the thanksgiving holidays. In the way of the wedding there is not much to report and there probably won't be until after our december trip. Here are the few things that have happened:
Greg and I decided to go with a Swan/Dolphin ceremony with a reception at Fulton's crab house.
We have a meeting set up with Diana from Just Marry the same day we meet with Marian from Fulton's.
Some of you have read about my concerns with not having Karen but Diana seems like she does not have as much on her plate and I feel like I may get more attention from her because of this which makes me kind of excited. I spoke to Diana over the holiday week and she is super excited about the peacock christmas theme we have going on. She loves my inspiration pictures and I really am excited to meet her next month.
I am making the theme of the wedding a peacock christmas because I think it is really pretty I am just going to have hints of vinylmation here and there and the same for star wars.
I am currently shopping for videography I am tempted to go with STVS for the price but I am getting swayed by Natalie's sneak peek to go with Trinity wedding. Anyone have any other suggestions?
In non wedding news:
Greg and I discussed the issue of children over the holidays. This is a big step for me because I have been not anti children for a long time but I just have not been sure how I feel about this. Greg really wants children he has a daughter from his previous marriage but he really wants the chance to have a family again. Can you blame the guy? I mean most guys tend to not be so big on the family thing or at least most of the ones I know it takes them a long time. So I feel very fortunate to have a fiance that wants children. I have actually had a change of heart and I have decided I really want to have kids and sooner than I had expected. We want to wait until after the wedding but probably not much longer after that.
With that we decided that the second bedroom of the apartment is going to be turned into the baby's room but for now it will be the study but we are calling it the baby's room. We went out to go baby stuff shopping to see how it would make us feel and we just kept getting more and more excited. We found lots of stuff we like and we bought our first baby blanket it has baby simba on it and it is white with brown edges.
Our first holiday together:
This thanksgiving was our first holiday together and he spent it down here with me and my family. This was very special to me and meant a lot. We had a great time and he even helped me and my grandfather make the dressing. I think we might have a few pictures some where. I had the whole week off this past week and it was really nice having all that time to spend with him. He still travels a lot for work and is at home 2 weeks out of the month and sometimes more than that. He is still mostly out of chicago for work which is where he lived when we met at Disney. He has since moved down here and is still moving.
We put up our two christmas trees and our lights the tuesday before thanksgiving. I need to take some pictures and put them up on here. We got lights for outside and i got a Snoopy with reindeer horns to put up. I love it! Greg is like the guy from National Lampoon's christmas vacation he is obsessed with lights. We put lights on windows so they shine thru and we got a small tree to put in the window. The cool thing about our christmas trees is they are Black and Purple. The black tree has multi colored lights and the purple tree has white lights.
The best part about christmas is that we picked an ornament this year and then we started a series at Hallmark. I work there part time so we started the new Pixar series which the first one is from UP which I know so many of you love. The ornament we picked is the one called Ode to Joy it is beaker from the muppets. When we were at WDW during our October/Engagement trip we bought two ornaments for our first tree one was the toy story alien with the sorcerer hat and the other is Wall-E and eve with christmas lights. Hooray for christmas decorating
Anticipation for our christmas trip:
We are getting excited for our Disney christmas trip it is only 24 days until we leave which is super exciting! Not much to share there just that I need to cancel our site visit with Disney. I am really looking forward to seeing all the resort decorations and especially the new decorations including stitch at the boardwalk resort.
Well I hope you guys have a great week and I hope you are participating in the christmas card exchange and secret santa!
Happy Holidays,
Teresa
PS: Greg just told me as I was writing this (which he didn't know I was doing and update) that he wrote on the PJ too today! Hooray I am so glad he finally got involved. Now you guys get to meet him!
