Sara & Ryan's Wishes PJ & TR ~ 8/17/10 WP/GF/Marina ~ 1/22 Thank you!

lol, well I'm super excited about getting married and the wedding...I think the freak out will be, now we finally have to pay for it all! :eek: lol, it's one thing to have the money, but another to part with it. :rotfl:

The time really does go sooo fast! I've been thinking of things that we want to taste and see at our PS and I'll have an update for you guys later today most likely. Now I have to face the scale at WW, let's hope it's kind! ;)
 
Happy New Year! I know, how crazy exciting is that?! :banana: I know, I would have to hear about it forever if they didn't. One of them asked my mom to buy it for her in black too, so I take it that she really likes it. ;)

It is really exciting and I can't wait to meet her in March. Lol, that's what DF said too, although maybe deep down it wasn't really a mistake at all. :cutie:

It was hard in the beginning but those workouts are really great and I'm actually really liking them now...well liking when they're over. :laughing:

That is great! I don't know if my girls like mine.....they didn't make a face tho...so...even if they didn't like them I am pretty sure I wouldn't be told. :rotfl: OMG it will be so much fun and March is going to get here before you know it. Mistake? getting to go to Disney for an extra day......hmm...I don't think those go together ;)

I am going to start today. NY kicked my diet away....and now I feel lazy! so I will finish up on here and then I am hoping Jillian doesn't beat me up too badly!

Well when I first showed them they said they did like it....but they complained about it to my mom and she nagged me for months about it. :confused3 I was almost at the point of telling her I really didn't care if they liked it or not. :snooty: The important thing is that you like it. When it's their turn they can make you wear whatever they want. ;)

I know it really was a happy accident! Now I understand that term. :cutie:

Good luck! I really like the Jillian workouts...well not while I'm doing them per se, but afterwards I really like them. :laughing:
 
Hey Everyone,

So today I went back to WW after the holidays and I gained 1 pound but I feel like the scale they had wasn't correct and I swear it is not just me making excuses! :laughing:

So I get to WW and there's a line. They had three scales and two were occupied. The girl ahead of me refused to weigh in on the 3rd scale. I was like, weird, but really what's the difference and the meeting had already started. So I came in with a 1 lb gain since mid-December. Which wouldn't be bad at all with the holidays and everything but I was like, no Bodybugg wouldn't lie to me, I should have lost 1 pound this week. :confused3 I know it could be that I gained 2 pounds since the holidays and lost 1 lb this week, but it still didn't seem quite right and I don't think I will weigh in on that scale anymore either. More on that later though. ;)

I went shopping after work to use some of the giftcards I got for christmas and things were fitting a lot better than they have been in the past month. I also was able to buy size 8 pants which is huge considering at my heaviest I was squeezing myself into the 14's. It was really great. I still have a ways to go but I feel like I'm starting to see a difference from the workouts. And I did measure myself and my measurements are shrinking. So first month of working out is going pretty well.

After tons of shopping - gift cards are the best, you get what you want and you don't have to use your own money! - I had to test this scale thing. We have a scale at home and I've always found it to be inline with the WW scale, maybe it was off a little but not by much. So I weighed myself and I was 1.4 lbs lighter than at WW, so I really do think there was something with that 1 scale.

Comparing to my previous BB weight, which was 1 week ago on the same scale, I have lost 1 lb just as expected. :thumbsup2

In other fitness news... I'm doing a bootcamp session with my sister's over the summer. There is a place really close to me that is an indoor obstacle course and they do a bootcamp fitness class. We had a coupon so 6 sessions were only $69. It'll only be 2 weeks of the program - normally 6 weeks - but I'm thinking by that time I'll just need a little more toning up and it'll be something we can do together.

Okay onto the wedding news!

We have our tasting session scheduled for 3/26 :) but unfortunately it's at 9:30 am :eek:. Did I mention I also don't like to eat when I first wake up? But it seemed like that was the only time option so I'm sure we'll manage. Lol, I guess I didn't have to worry if we'd be able to eat at our 50's PTC ADR at 7 pm. :laughing: Now I have to think about what we want to taste! Any suggestions?

We booked our Wedding room! We're going to stay in a King Deluxe room in the main building. I requested a turret room so that we'd have extra space but the other option is MK view with a jetted tub, so I think either way it'll be pretty sweet! :goodvibes Now I have to figure out our ADR's before mid-Feb so I can have them book things for us. I'm so excited about not having to call, I had such a nightmare time of it for our June trip. I was on the phone for over 3 hours making ADR's! :eek:

Disney also sent out the Save the Dates so our guests can book their rooms, they sent me a few extra just in case and I was really pleased with the quality and look of them. They're really nice and if someone wanted to cut costs there's no reason you couldn't just go with those.

I think I will also do a hair trial during our PS trip. I was worried we wouldn't have the time...but now it's kinda like it's meant to be. :rolleyes:

I think that's it for now. :)
 

Aaaah so close now!
Hahaha my boss was laughing at me because I sent out an e-mail to a vendor about January 2011... when I really meant 2010. He said: "I think you have your brain in the wrong year"

I am so impatient I am time traveling in my head!

So cool that you are all booked! Your tasting session is so early! But I would be so excited I probably wouldn't mind LOL

I firmly believe the scales conspire against us, do not listen to them, always trust the measuring tape and the size of your pants better. Also remember fat weights way less than muscle so if you work out at all you might end up gaining weight and loosing inches. It happens to me all the time. The scale won't move, but my pants will just keep on getting looser and looser and looser.

Keep up the great work! You have already accomplished so much! You can do this no problem!
 
pshh...I am a slacker. I missed your last post! I was checking your PJ to be like where are you?! silly me..

I think its funny you proved the WW scale wrong! Now when you go back it will look like you lost a bunch! You are doing so well! :thumbsup2

I can't believe you are doing bootcamp. Thats awesome.

Yay taste testing! I am surprised they do the testing so early....but I am sure you'll be fine.

Post pictures of the save the dates! I wanna see

I def think you should do a hair trial. (see I told you that you booked it on purpose! :rolleyes:)
 
YAY for updates!! Everything sounds great!! good for you on the exercise stuff!! I'm jealous you have somewhere to go with an obstacle course...it sounds fun!!

You are going to have a blast at your PS!! Do you know what you are tasting yet (sorry if I missed it)??

I can't believe how quick it's going, almost at 7 months now! Your VR will be here before you know it! I'm so excited that we get to do the tasting, I'm just a little nervous because I'm not exactly a morning person. :rolleyes1 It'll be really exciting though and maybe it'll make me just taste the food, not gorge myself on the food! :lmao:

I know! What an evil scale. I try not to let it bother me but it's hard sometimes. Thanks for all the kind words, it does help to know that others go through the same thing! I do try to remind myself a lot of what I've already accomplished when I feel frustrated and as long as I keep going I'll get there eventually. :goodvibes

I've been a slacker too! That scale better be kind this week! But I was really proud of myself because I've been working really late all week like 10-11 pm and the other night I got out at 7:30 and I went home and exercised. Normally I would never even think of doing that, but it did make me feel better!

I'm a little nervous about the bootcamp but I think it'll be fun and Jillian would be proud right? Here's what I'm getting myself into. :eek:

I'll have pics over the weekend. Our guests have gotten them already and thought they were invitations :laughing:.

I'm definitely going to schedule it, just gotta figure out a day. Lol, I probably did, just don't tell DF :rolleyes1

Thanks Mandy! I'm really excited and terrified at the same time. I didn't even know that place existed so maybe there is someplace by you. ;)

I'm so excited! Only 2.5 months now! I'm not sure yet...DF and I have to look at menus, but so far I'm thinking

lamp lollichop - I LOVE lamb

beef n blue cheese meatballs - Hmm bacon, beef, blue cheese? Done! :laughing:

Jiko Filet with mac-n-cheese - This is our fave entree in all of Disney world so looking forward to see if they can recreate it. If they can it's totally on the menu!

Chicken of some sort...maybe parmesan crusted since I hear such good things about it.

Sorbet sculpture - no way our guests are getting it but we'll try it. :lmao:

Dessert...not sure yet, I've had the chocolate slipper a few time so probably not that...

I think we also pick a salad and appetizer too, I'm getting full just thinking about it!
 
We originally had the beef and blue meatballs on our menu but decided to with something else. They were about $10 per person. For $20 pp we had those and spanokopita (sp?)...that seemed like not a lot of food for $20. We knocked it down to $14.75 pp for an antipasot display.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the filet and mac and cheese from Jiko...good choice! We are having the parm crusted chicken, it was to die for in our PS!

I know, I can't believe how pricey the appetizers are. I normally love pigs in a blanket but I feel like it's not worth what they charge and for $10 I can get myself 100 at Costco! :lmao: So that can be my when we get home treat!

I think right now we're thinking going with 3 appetizers, but we may just do an antipasto display or pasta station instead depending. I don't really want too much food or too heavy food at the cocktail hour because I want people to eat everything else we'll have too.

The Jiko filet is our absolute favorite! I really hope it tastes close enough. Lol, it was one of my selling points to DF on why we should have a Disney wedding! I've heard such good things about the chicken. I'm a little worried though that as a plated meal it won't look fancy enough? But chicken generally doesn't really look that fancy anyway.
 
Hey everyone. Our Wedding is in 7 Months! :banana: And our PS is in two months and a week.

So this has been a super stressful week. I had to work late every night and DF and I hardly got to see each other. Friday was our first dinner together all week so we had a little date night and it was really fun.

Another huge cause of stress is that last Sunday just as I was about to do my Jillian workout, my landlord comes by and wants to show our apartment to a potential buyer. So first he says that the guy plans to live in the basement and continue renting out our apartment and the upstairs so it's not like they are throwing anyone out and could he and his mom (she's helping him with the down payment) come in and take a look. So I said, sure that's no problem. Well as soon as they walk in I could tell they loved our apartment and really I don't blame them. Why would I buy a house and then rent out the nicest part of it while I lived in the basement?

Then I hear them outside talking and my landlady saying something like "Well they're getting married in August..." so I'm sure it was along the lines of how we'd be moving out soon anyway. Then this week our landlord was over all week fixing things around the house, so even if this guy doesn't buy it, he's going to be showing it to other people. :confused3

Which means we must start mission "Buy a House". Which we were planning on doing soon but were hoping it wouldn't be while we are also trying to pay for the wedding. Since we were planning on finding a house after the wedding it doesn't really make sense to find a new apartment and pay for moving twice.

But the good thing is that the tax credit has been extended and the interest rates are still low and prices are good. So maybe it's a blessing in disguise.

Okay onto wedding related things. We've had a few guests book their rooms. Yay! And I took pics of the Save the Dates Disney sent. They actually kinda match our color scheme too. ;)

Here's the envelope

What's inside. The scroll design is pressed into the paper and the invite has a subtle sparkle to it. The second pic shows the sparkle a little better, ignore the weird coloring, it was just the lighting in my apt.

When you open the flap there are three cards, one is the announcement and then there are cards on how to book their rooms and purchase tickets.

Oh those STD's are so pretty! I wish I was having a wishes wedding so I could have them!

I'm sorry to hear about all the stress with your landlord. Doesn't it seem like everything goes wrong when you are planning a wedding?:rotfl:
 
I thought the STD's were only by email now? Am I confusing this with something else?

I was really surprised how nice they were, although Disney does usually do a really good job with things, so I really shouldn't have been. Yes, that and the food tasting are the two free things you get, so I had to make sure I took advantage of both! ;)

Thanks! It really does. I mean, we have been thinking about it for a while, but not sure I really needed to add more stress :laughing:. I guess it's the swift kick in the backside that we needed to get moving! :lmao:

I think some sales consultants / planners may have said that to some brides but I was never told that by Disney and I never asked. So I guess for now they still have them but who knows what they will do in the future. I think they should keep them because not everyone uses email (older guests) and an email is really too casual. These printed Save the Dates are really nice and I think add to the magic for our guests. :goodvibes
 
Good luck with the house on top of the wedding! THe DF and I are both in the process of background checks for new Gov't jobs. Why have things easy when we can make life more spicy! :stir:
 
Hey!

Geez i'm sorry to hear about the whole apartment craziness but I wish you luck on finding a house! Thats really exciting!

I love the save the date they are so pretty! :thumbsup2
 
YAY how exciting!!! Aren't they beautiful!!
I was told by my planner that depending on when you signed the contract, you may or may not get the actual STD's.
 
Oooh! I am loving those STD's, it is sad that they are stopping them.
I wonder what they will say to us 2011 brides?
It was a great detail to receive those though!
The letter press and die cut detail are nice!:thumbsup2
