I forgot that your DF was living in another state. That must be so hard, especially with the baby, but I think it will make it all the sweeter when you can all be together! I hope it will be January for you!

Great idea about the towels! I went to walmart and got some paint chips from their paint dept and hope I can use those to have a concrete image of the colors I want.

Love all the Save the Dates, I think the first looks more like an invitation though and I think it would be really great as your invites! I'm a big fan of photo save the dates, so I would go with #2.

I like the third one if you changed the wording around! Any of them would work nicely but the third one is my favorite.... you could make it a care and have that on the front and then when you open it have a vintage picture of you guys like the second one with all the information.... You could say like "don't be late for this very important date" instead of your invited to a tea party or something along those lines... Did all the make sense? lol

Im keeping my fingers crossed that it will be January too!! i thought that too about the first one as well. i just really like the clocks on the side. too cute!

Thats what i was thinking as well. my DF really likes the third one as well and i like the look of the photo std's so maybe we can incorporate both.....

 

[pezaddict231]

Oooh that's a great idea to incorporate both!

Congrats on your little one saying mom. It's very exciting!! I just wanted to let you know I know how hard it is to be apart like that. Ryan was gone for most of Addison's first two years! There are definitely days that are more tough than others. But the time will fly by and you will all be together before you know it!

I love the second save the date by the way.

Thanks! god knows i need encouragement to keep my head up! its also nice to know that another couple can have soo much in common with us and still get to their goal! thanks for being an inspiration.

I really like the first STD's!!

Nice color scheme . . . I LOVE the whimsical look! I call those "Skittles" colors . . . maybe with a LITTLE extra emphasis on the purple and fushia to get that "passionate" look and feel you were working toward . . .

Of all the Save the Dates you posted, I like the first one best. Are you going to use bright colors for your Save the Dates or go with something a little more muted?

If you're thinking of making them yourself, I highly recommend getting whatever supplies you can from Cards and Pockets. They're prices are the best I've seen and they let you buy stuff "by the piece" instead of bundled into packages of 20 - 25.

Keep it coming! MORE GOOD STUFF!

so here is a tiny little update... it could effect the wedding or not.
Last night Mike told me that he would not be able to graduate until March 2010 now. all because of one class! he has gone to counselors and met with others to only be shot down of ADDING one small online class to the fall semester. they say he already has a full load, which is understandable..... i guess. now he is a little disappointed that he has to wait another semester. but he also made a final decision, he is going to go for the OTS, Officer Training School for the Air Force, after he grads. that school is a 12 weeks. which would mean that we wouldn't get to be together until june/july 2010!
what does this mean for us wedding wise..... well we may have to get married sooner. so we may change the wishes wedding into vow renewal for a later date. or change it to escape wedding for a sooner date. this is something we really need to talk about.

now the big news!!! he asked that anthony and i move up to michigan with him as soon as we can. I have thought a LOT about this and i have accepted. which makes me very very HAPPY!!! i got a lot to do and very little time to do it in. but i will let you all know what the moving plan is when we figure it out!
but for right now i feel like

 

[MainStMandy]

Awww Nicole that is great news!! Hopefully you guys will still be able to have the wedding you wanted but moving closer to him is wonderful!!!

 

[acwinsett]

Congratulations!!!! That's AMAZING news!!!

Please keep us posted as to what you guys decide

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

That is great that you are finally going to be together!!

It is hard that it alters your wedding plans, but the important thing is that you will be together! I'm sure whatever happens will be great!

 

[figment fan21]

YAY!!!! I'm glad you two can be together!!! Its a pain that he is one class shy of graduating though... thats terrible.

If it were up to me, which it clearly is not, i'd so do an escape wedding with a sooner date. hehehe Keep us posted on what you decide!

Skittles colors, i never even thought of that till you mentioned it! but maybe your right, adding a bit more of the fuchsia and purple will make it more passionatey?
I really like color (cant you tell? hee hee) so i would probably go with color for both the std's and the invites. and thanks for the info about Cards and Pockets. i will definitely be looking into those!

thanks ladies! I have been in a chipper mood all day yesterday and all of the morning!! so the planned move date is October 24th. our new home would be in Ray Township, MI, that's just north of Detroit, into my future in-laws house till we can either get our own place or until after Mike finishes training. which isn't bad, i actually get along with his family. the one downer is his mom is allergic to animals. so my big lap dog is gonna stay here with my mom for now. Mike and his father are gonna drive down here (i cant talk them outta of it) to help me load up a uhaul trailer onto their truck and move us up. i should take about 2 days drive. I'm starting to look for jobs, and maybe i'll be more aggressive when i'm up there for my birthday!

 

[pezaddict231]

Aww, that is awesome news that you will all get to be together! I'm so happy for you! good luck in the job search!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

Great to hear things are going so well! Pack your warm clothes!!! I lived in MI for 3 years...my mom would send me wool sweaters every year!

okay so i have been gone for a week. work has been nuts! we closed week for our yearly mantience, lets just say i have been working soooo hard that i feel like now that we opened back up to the public.... i feel like i should be doing something instead of catching up on the Disboards! we painted like every inch of the building(including the floor), scrubbed way too many things, and setting up a new computer system.

but its nice to get back to a quiet, relaxing work week! (no more painting!!!)
they need a bubble bath tub icon. lol as for the wedding. I have been thinking of some save the date cards. i know i have got a while till i can send them off..... but im a such a procrastinator that i know it will take me FOREVER to get them done. i figure if i start now them maybe i'll get to my deadline. but i need to decide if we want to make them ourselves or have them done?

this is what i have found so far.

i like how the clocks reference the wedding date.

this old vintage look is growing on me.

i got this from the tim burton alice in wonderland photos. i could change the wording a bit and then put the info on the back of the card?

Hi,

I'm interested to know where you found the 2 bottom invites? I know the first one is from www.etsy.com...

Thanks,

[puente0629]

Thank you so much..I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do for save the dates.

Oh and I love so far all your idea's for the AIW theme...we are doing the same thing but with a Tim Burton feel to it.

 

[GoonieBride]

i know i have been gone a while. im sorry. why is moving so stressful?

oka i need to vent....
When I first met my FIL’s, is Dad is uber sweet. I can soo see my FI turning into the same man. However his Mom, she pulled me aside and blamed me for her son’s decisions. Claiming that I was keeping him from his dreams, goals, and for not returning to school. I explained to her that I wasn’t and actually I was trying to get him to go back to school even if that meant he had to move back to Michigan. At the time they didn’t know I was 5 weeks along with our son Anthony. 2 weeks later they found out. FFIL= happy. FMIL= I was now everything she thought plus stubborn, selfous, and stupid for wanting to keep it. She demanded I give it up for adoption. She thought I was too young. I was 24. I stood my ground and said “I am keeping my child” She was upset until she laid her eyes on Anthony about a month after he was born. Sense then we have tried to keep peace, its worked so far. But now we are going to be moving into her home until we find a place of our own. I’m worried, maybe it will all be alright….. maybe not. My mother has always had problems with her in laws. I saw how that affected her relationship with my father and how it affected us kids. I never wanted that for me and my family. My FI thinks I’m crazy and that it will all be alright. I feel like its hard to talk to him about this, she mom and I’m the future wife. Sorry I just need to talk to someone. Thanks for listening.

ill updated soon with some wedding details.
