Sick of the same old, same old....

For a long time Matt and I have been doing the same things about every other weekend....go to the same restaurant, the same bars, etc......don't get me wrong, we love the restaurnt we go and have fun at the bars.....but we are just looking to change it up a bit....When I went to Sephora last weekend to stock up on new make up, which I absolutly love by the way(ill tell you about that after)....the girl ,who so graciosly helped me for over and hour, was telling me about this Asian Fusion restaurant called Noma....it is a restaurant/martini lounge....for some reason I started thinking today about what we talked about, and I couldn't remember the name for the life of me, but then all of the sudden I found this paper with a map of all the restaurants in downtown south bend, and there it was! TADA!!!! So I search all over the internet and could not find a link to their website, so I clicked on some random person's blog that happened to pop up bc she had written her review on the place.....and also the website link......So we are headed to Noma tonight to check out, what I hear, is the new IT place of South Bend.........I will let you know how it goes tomorrow!

ps-about that new make-up.....it's bare minerals.....by far the BEST make up I have ever used.

232 days and counting!!!

So as you all can see I am getting more and more excited as each days passes about our upcoming wedding. I am quite certain that we are right on track as far as planning goes, so far! Matt and I are going to meet with Nancy next week, YES, Matt is accually coming along this time. It's about time considering I have been working with her for over 2 1/2 months now. Just kidding Matt, I love you and know you are a very busy man! But I am happy he will be tagging along (although im not sure he is hehe) because we need to start looking at some possible invitation styles since I will be off the Texas soon for several weeks, then Europe, and want to kind of get an idea of what we like and don't like (but im pretty sure we kind of know what we are looking for at least I do). I definetly want him there for the invitation browsing without a doubt. Don't get me wrong, I am not booking anything, choosing anything, etc without running it by Matt first. So far, there have been no disagreements and I hope to keep it that way. Luckily Matt is a very happy go lucky kind of guy and generally goes with the flow. Trust me people, if it were up to him, this wedding would be happening in a barn with a potluck dinner and kegs of busch lite and he would be happy(just kidding)....unfortunatly for him, I am a quite bit more high maintenence than he is(not kidding).
Onto the next subject...
LEAVING FOR EUROPE in 55 days!!!
As some of you know, my Mom and I are heading to Europe this Spring. We are leaving on April 24th and returning on May 4th. We are going to visit Amsterdam, Brussels, and Paris! We planned this trip back in like June before any of this wedding stuff was even thought about...and then in November when we got engaged, it kind of slipped into the back of my mind until my beloved travel agent sent me an email a few weeks ago with some train schedules for us to look at :) I can't believe it is already less than two months away!
We are spending 3 nights in Amsterdam, 3 in Brussels, and 3 in Paris as well! I can't wait to see the hotels that we are staying at because they look amazing!
