Happy 5 months

Audrey is 5 months old today!
I think I've decided to wait until she's 6 months to start solids, although I'm gonna tryto give her oatmeal next week, rice made her really constipated so we'll see how this goes.
I really think I wanna make her food, it will save us some money, I just need to buy a blender.
The stepkids are gone, back to their moms, Justin flew them home today and life is quiet and back to normal, so far.
we got a new car! 2007 white camry, had it 3 hours and the manager of Davids Bridal back into us as I was putting my wedding dress in the trunk.
Justin was pretty sick about it, but it can be fixed, the insurance people are coming tomorrow to look at the damage.
Having a 465$ car payment is gonna hurt a little, but we needed another car, and Justin deserved to get something nice, and I'm glad to have the explorer, I won't be stuck in the apartment all day everyday while he's at work for two weeks!

And the beat goes on..

So Audrey got her shots last week, she did pretty good only cried for a few seconds, she now weighs 15 lbs 8 oz and is 24 1/2 inches long! my sweet baby is growing!!
she's starting to be able to sit up by herself for a few seconds too.
she has such a goofy personality, she loves to laugh and play and she is so curious, she rolls herself everywhere, she's a little rolly polly!

The wedding planning continues, Got the minister, got the cake ordered, a rig cake! got someone to do my hair and makeup for only 50$! she's my photographers daughter.
I got the plates,heavy plastic red ones, yellow and red napkins, forks(metal ones they were 4 for a dollar!) got the cups, I still need to get wine glasses though, got the stuff to make the favors, I'm putting sunflower seeds in little favor boxes, got one favor done, 49 to go!
I got the string and notecards and pens for the "guestbook" thing we're doing as well as the picture line.. instead of a video we're just putting pictures of us growing up on a clothesline type thing and people can see them.
I got my shoes! Red ones! I gave up on finding white ones.
so all I have left is renting the tables and chairs, and getting the food.
Oh and getting the tablecloths.. I found a place online that I can get them for like 5$. which is cheaper than renting them.
52 days until the Big Day!!

Find the ONE

I really didn't think finding someone to marry us would be a big deal, or would be as hard to find as it is.
My mom is paying for the entire wedding except for Justins tux and the alcohol, so Im trying to keep everything at the lowest cost possible, the only thing I went over budget on was my dress.
I think I may have finally found an Officiant, I hope for 125$, the cheapest I'd been able to find was 300.
I also think I found something I do want in the ceramony, we are doing our own vows but I found this and think its beautiful and very much US, since we're always holding hands.

These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you, that are holding yours on your wedding day as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow and forever.
These are the hands that will work along side yours as together you build your future.
These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, and with the slightest touch will comfort you like no other.
These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief temporarily comes your way.
These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes, tears of sorrow and tears of joy.
These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children.
These are the hands that will give you support and encouragement to chase down your dreams.
These are the hands that will hold you tight as you struggle through difficult times.
These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it.
These are the hands that will lift your chin and brush your cheek as they raise your face to look into eyes that are filled with overwhelming love for you.
And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.

So I got my centerpieces put together, I still need to get 4 more Wide mouth jars for the floating candles, but otherwise Im done! all I'll have to do the day of is fill the floating candle jars with water, and switch the LED candles on for the other ones.
Now I need figure out a way to use the lids, I'm thinking maybe as coasters? I'm not sure yet.



this is my Garter:)

For some reason internet explorer hasn't been letting me publish my posts, so I had to get Google Chrome.
anyway, Justin got me the Song of Ice and Fire book series for our Anniversary, I love it.

I pretty much cleaned Hobby Lobby out of Mason Jars today! I bought two different sizes, and I'm putting 3 on each table.
I got some floating rose candles, I got LED tea candles to put in the jars as well, and red stones that I'll use either for picture jar or maybe the rose candle.
I also bought my bouqet, fake , but I'm only using it for pictures since I'll both arms linked going down the aisle. only 20$ and I'd spend 60 on a real one that would last 1 day
I got our cake cutter too.
I also got a basket to hold note cards and the clothes pins that I'm using instead of a guest book.

theres more people coming than I planned on, so we may have to have people park at a seperat location and have them driven to the house where the wedding is.

I still have to order the cake,rent the tables and chairs, shoes, find someone to do hair and makeup for me , find a judge to preform the ceramony, pay the photographer, buy plates and glasses, and get the food, oh and get a dress to wear when we leave.
Ive got to go to his aunts house and figure out where outside we can do the ceramony, doing it inside by the fireplace is out since we don't have room for all the people now. I've also gotta figure out lighting , for when its dark.


I told Justin if he wants alcohol there he's gotta pay for it.
I can't believe its almost here!

I got my Garter, its blue and has a 2011 charm on it. only 8$ at Davids Bridal.

Also I think everyone should check out this blog of a friend of mine, She's a member of my Playgroup online and her story is amazing, her daughter just had heart surgery, she's an amazing mom.
