Who knew designing a monogram could be so difficult????

I just got the proof for a potential monogram and I didn't like it....ughhh.. There was just something about the way our initials looked....perhaps, well nevermind..anyways, I guess we are back at square one again, I thought maybe I am just being to picky,but Nancy assured me that I was not being difficult, bc this is a very important part of the Wedding bc it will be carried throughout the event that we will want it to reflect our personal style......

What am I supposed to do now???

First I will give you a recap on what I did this weekend.......Friday we went and checked out this band call The Cheap Dates and they were awesome! The reason we went to see them is because the two members of the band are also in Montage, the band we hired the play at our Wedding Reception! They were so much fun and had such great energy, so that just got us so much more pumped about having Montage. As most of you know, we love so many varieties of music, that we knew right off the bat that we wanted a live band........and these guys are going to rock!

Sooo Saturday we went to check out the Michiana Home Show and it was not really what we were looking for. Matt and I are going to build, eventually haha, and were hoping that there would be lots of different contractors there, but it was more for people looking to update rather than start from scratch. But at least we tried! We have a few people in mind in the area we would like to contact so I guess we will start with them!

Now onto Sunday......can we say BLIZZARD???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my God, it was 3 degrees all day with wind chills were -20 and the wind was blowing 40 mph like ALL day.....Matt and I went to lunch at Lindy's, 2 miles away, and it took us almost 15 minutes to get there bc we could not see a damn thing! But we seriously didn't have anything in the house and we were bored so we braved it.........not a good idea haha. Sooooooo bc of the lovely weather we had to reschedule dinner with Todd and Lori again!!!!!!

Monday.....I finally started addressing the Save The Date cards!!!!! Although I only did 3 pages of addresses.....but its a start!

PS-Blackberry RIM is out, ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh, so I cannot make or receive calls...compose or receive emails.......but for some reason I am still getting voicemails and txt messages........So if you need me TEXT me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR its still so cold!

PPS-Shelly and Garrett will be here on Thursday and I am so EXCITED!

Yep, I'm not going anywhere today.

I didn't go to Grand Rapids today because...

1. Nancy said the weather was pretty bad and only supposed to get worse.
2. It was pouring down rain, which melted all the snow, which then turned the roads into an ice skating rink.
3. The rain turned to snow about 35 minutes ago, and this is what we have accumulated so far!

Nice, huh?? Welcome to Michigan!!!!

Luckily, Matt and I had already pretty much decided on the monogram style we liked, so I just emailed the idea to Nancy and she will work her magic and get me a proof. I must say, without her I would be going crazy.....well, more crazy than I already am ;)

What to do about this weather???

I am supposed to drive up to Grand Rapids today but..........apparantly they are supposed to get 8-10 inches of snow today, so I'm thinkin that's not the best idea???

What a long day...but at least I got my header done!

Thanks to Lori, I now have a really cool header! Well, accually the credit should go to her sister for posting the instructions on her blog....Anyways, now I am finally getting a hang of this blogging thing and can start working on a custom layout...if only I can figure out that whole blogroll thing, I tried it and didnt really know what was goin on!! I'm heading to Grand Rapids tomorrow to meet with the Nancy and discuss a few things with her...but the main reason is we must decide on a monogram design, so that we can get that out of the way. I want it to be different from your ordinary monogram, so that is why we are putting so much time and effort into it, rather than just design something myself on word. The details are going to be the key factor to our Wedding, so everything has to be perfect! It's going to be a long 8 months.........

I almost forgot!!!

For some strange reason we went to the Legacy in Sister Lakes on Saturday night, but we soon realized we were out of our element....check out the advertisement on the wall!

I'm cold......and how about a Mexican Fiesta Super Bowl??

So I must say, yesterday was probably the weirdest weather I have seen since I've lived in Michigan. It was 45 and raining when I was heading home from work and by 9pm it was 15 and practically a blizzard outside! It certainly didn't make for a pleasant driving experience this morning. But what can you do? I just drove slow! OK, so anyways, enough about the crappy weather..I was looking on Rachael Ray's website looking for some Super Bowl Sunday food ideas and she has some great recipes on there. The Giant Chicken Taco Nachos sounded great to me! I love her recipes because she tries to help make certain dishes a bit healthier, just by making a few little changes like using baked corn chips rather than fried. Every little bit counts, right?? Well, I guess I should get to the point of this whole blog, huh??

We have decided to have some people over to watch the big game on Sunday. So I am trying to put together a menu to please everyone and I think we have decided to have a Mexican theme. Matt and I love Mexican food and it happens to be one of my specialties when it comes to the kitchen and not to mention I think everyone enjoys some good mexican grub every once in a while. I was also thinking of making some fun drinks, I am sick of the seeing the same old thing, beer, wine, vodka and soda, bla bla....so I am going to try this new and improved version of the Tequila Sunrise and for those of you beer drinkers out there you must try this Mechelada Maria. So call me or text me if your coming on Sunday! It will be at la casa de Seel because my Parent's are in Texas and let's face it, their basement is badass!
