One month later...

So it has been pretty eventful around here. Nick worked his first full 40 hour week this week after having 3 months off. We are excited to be able to catch up on a few things and have a little spending money again. But with everything that is going on - savings will come first! Plus we are keeping our part time jobs for a while.

We have been cake tasting for a while and finially found a lady who does it as a hobby for the best price and GREAT cake. Now we will work on negotiating the flowers! We are having so much fun planning our big day. Even though days or moments might be stressful when we think about how all the work will come together on October 10th it makes it all worth while! We are excited to share this wonderful time with friends and family!

Also Misty purchased her Wedding gown 2 weeks ago on Craigslist for $150!! We have to give all the credit to Misty's dad for making her watch a news video online about a lady who saved a bunch of money on her wedding. Misty looked at Craigslist with little hope that she would find a dress she liked in her area - but this time it worked out perfectly. The lady purchased it for her wedding, but couldn't fit her chest into the dress (obviously Misty will not have that problem) so she had to buy a different dress. What a deal! Misty is excited to get it to the seamstress and have it remade to exactly what she wants!

Nick played plumber this week when a pipe started leaking under out bathroom sink! It is great to have such a handy guy around!

After receiving our tax money we are ready to take the next step in making our house our own by having the interior painted. We are going to have the Kitchen, Living room, Family room and entry painted including the ceilings and trim. We have lived with the lime green walls for far too long and it is time for a change. It is a wonderful feeling to know that it is your's and you can cusomize it for you!

Misty started working her 12 hour day shifts this last week and will be working this weekend. Since Nick has been off work he has been doing all the laundry and most of the dishes and cleaning. Since he is back to work Misty had to spend some of her days off this week catching up on these things. Misty is truely thankful for having such a wonderful partner in life!!! Thanks babe!

I hope that you all are as ready for the warm weather as we are. Nick is going to put up our swing this weekend so we can enjoy our backyard ASAP! Keep in touch and God Bless!
