Evil Chocolate Cake

Studying For the ACT

I actually miss math class. To bad I didn't actually study the last time I took one, I probably would have made a much better score and not have to worry about taking it again. But that was my own cocky fault. I thought that since I made a pretty good score the first time the second wouldn't be hard. I was right but I didn't make a good enough, so here I am hating math all over again.

A tradition I would love to incorporate!: The anniversary dance; you can ask all couples or just married ones to the dance floor you then have the dj ask all couples who have been together less that___ years to have a seat. It keeps going until there is only one couple left. You pick the increments( 5 or 10years). One version is to present them with the bridal bouquet, but I think that we will make a bouquet very similar to mine. I'm really wanting to incorporate our grandparents because they mean so much to us.

All of the pictures of my husbands family are on my computer...which is at best buy......

My Baby Got a Mac

That is right ladies and gentlemen. Now all we have to do is get mine and my camera. I am really happy for him; now he can record himself while he is study his music and playing songs. I'm kinda hoping he will play a song at the wedding. One that HE wrote, not one keith urban wrote.

But either way I will still like it.

I might attempt some marzipan or fondant flowers like this one

And I've already got some really pretty fake flowers to put around the cakes kind like these:

But don't forget they will be single tiers. (ps doesn't that cake stand look beautiful and antique-y?)

Franken-box

I don't think I can tell you just how excited I am...

I just had my first wedding baby! A card box. Which looks a lil more like a franken-box, but I am so happy. My first project! And I get to show you! Plus the mister helped out! He got me tape, he marked a few spots and even took a picture. Not to mention he put in some input.

are you ready?

here's the beginning. I found just the right sized box, taped it up and cut a small whole that was big enough for cards.

the first corner I tried to cover. Which of course, ended up being covered three more times.

I used wrapping paper my Grandma had used to wrap some pots and pans she sent us. I used our cutting board, exacto knife and a tiny ruler. (Here you see the naked franken-box lol)

A little more wrapping...

About 80% done...

Ahh my lil Franken box! It took about an hour and a half to do. I cut a slit in the paper so they can easily slide in the cards. Plus it would have been murder to remove that little slit and it be ruined. I'm planning on putting a ribbon/bow on it also.

It's like a tiny little weight is of my shoulders!

And we got napkins! Paper ones, which will be okay but I did want to go with cloth(reuseable). Heres what gave me a lil inspiration for the paper ones:

We are totally have that little piece of wood too!

#3 is done

Sort of.

There are about 60 give or take one or two, but I still feel like I'm missing a few people so of course I'm going to have to go over it again. Actually I think we forgot about 10 haha way to go us! Tomorrow we are going to go talk to Festivities and see about the tent and chairs and things like that. Just kidding we're doing it Wednesday before church.

Oh a side note my husband has insisted that I watch all of the Lord of the Rings since I've never have. It's been a three day trek thank God we are on the last one. We just got to the part of the big spider, I hate spiders.

I really hate spiders.

Anyways. I'm trying to decide on how to do the table numbers. We're using wine bottles but I'm not sure on how to do the design on the labels. Maybe fancy intricate crosses or penguins! It would be cute and slightly ironic since the wedding will be in July! I'm alos thinking about haveing flowers in them, as if they were a type of vase. Then again I may just have regular old numbers on them.

Posting sucks with no pictures...

My wedding check list...

Okay. I have no pad of paper around me along with no pen, so i'm going to type these so I do not forget them...ready set go.

1. Talk to the people about the field
2. Find a cheap place to rent chairs, tables and a tent. And maybe a floor depending on how hard or soft the ground is
3. Finish the new guest list
4. Make a list of people to work the food and drink stations
5. Get the basic of the invites done
6. Get the table numbers done
7. Put my massively large checklist up

Trust me there are more, I'm just getting distracted. Oh, and until I can get my laptop working I will not really be able to post any of my pictures. I'm not entirely sure when it will be fixed but hopefully soon. So, I apologize for the lack of color in my post!

The new Year...

So, here are my resolutionsss...

1. Make my husband healthy
2. Finish wedding things. Well get more of the things done
3. Go to college
4. Get some people into melaleuca
5. Start my etsy selling
6. (This should actually be number zero) Get closer to God
7. Read the Bible more(that of course goes with number zero)
8. Finish one of my books(yes I write)
9. Keep everything clean(including the car)
10. Work on my anger problems

I usually make sure to have 10 so if you couldn't tell I started fishing toward the end. I saw a beautiful arrangement of carnations and other flowers and I think I could mix them with babies breath. They were pink of course. I am still in my search for the mini envelopes. But great news!! We found a photographer! And his work is pretty good!
well, It is getting late and I work in the morning so as short as this is and with no pictures I bid you ado.
Sweet dreams dolls!
