Still going strong & Ironism

So I am surviving teaching and still loving it! I really enjoy the little kids and I'm really happy with the school district that I am in. Everyone is really incredibly nice and I feel like I made the right decision to teach grades that I never even observed while in college, and teach in a private school! I'm just really glad everything is working out so well.

So my friend Alli and her boyfriend Travis got engaged this weekend! It is ironic because of the simillarity that their relationship has to me and Chris'. Only 1 month apart in dating, getting engaged, & the wedding date! Now we might just have a bet going on who will have the first kid! lol.

Clarify

So I guess I wasn't crystal clear on the details!

1. I found the DRESS - it is absolutely beautiful and I am just waiting to buy it!
2. We booked the CHURCH! - same Church as in the pictures on this blog. Gorgeous Church and the dark blue color will look gorgeous with the marroon decord in the Church.
3. We have our OFFICIANT - My fiance's uncle will be conducting the ceremony!
4. We booked the RECEPTION HALL/CATERER - Location #3 in the pictures. Beautiful hall and we are excited.
5. We got the CENTERPIECES - they are really neat candle holders! Don't have a great picture cause Mom has not sent that yet, but they are nice. Once we decorate them appropriately, I will post some pictures.
6. We are finalizing the following: Musicians, Photographer(s), & Invitations.
7. Our Wedding Website is now running and we are just missing a few things on it!
8. I got my ONLINE BRIDAL SHOWER ready to go - just need to get the guest list done.

Is this better, Sara? lol.

GREAT WEEK!

WE BOOKED THE RECEPTION HALL & THE CHURCH!!!!

I also did my first two days as a teacher! Very exciting, no problems what-so-ever. I'm really thankful that the school district I teach in is very nice, and I feel really happy to finally be teaching.

How cute are these... for Thank You Gifts?!


Found these at www.wherebridesgo.com. just too cute!!

Reception Sites

NOW BEAR WITH ME - IM POSTING 3 OPTIONS - 2 OF WHICH ARE NOT DECORATED FOR A WEDDING AND 1 IS - WHICH MEANS THAT THAT ONE WILL LOOK THE NICEST!

#1 - In town at a hotel. Very nice in side, but everything is red! Decorated it will have a buffet line, dance floor, and the tables and chairs will be in all white with chair covers and sashed.

#2 - In town and a Veterans club. Not as nice of a place, have less options and would have to rent out for our linens and things.

#3 - Preferred Choice!! Beautiful inside, price is decent! Has catering, dance floor, and all the other things as choice #1.
sorry the lady had just turned on the lights - this is just $35 extra to have!

The Church

This is an absolutely beautiful church that we saw and I REALLY REALLY want to use this church for the wedding. To me, there are no other options about what church to use!


It can seat up to 350, the colors in the church will work wonderfully with the dark blue that I am going to have. There are rooms for the Bride and Groom to hang out in. Plus, with the deposit we get use of the kitchen and fellowship hall for a rehearsal dinner. The pastor at the church will actually be there running the sound equipment for no extra cost! Plenty of room for the musicians and the reciving line will be lined up here...

Zoo!

We went to the zoo today and had a blast. We seem to go twice a summer - one with the two of us and one with the rest of his family. Actually - Chris even told me that he was even considering proposing to me at the zoo - but I think Fenway was a WHOLE LOT BETTER, hehe.

The Zoo in Omaha is really cool and host a large amount of titles for the largest or the biggest or the most of different exhibits and animals. We are allowed to bring in our own coolers and eat our own luches next to Pea Fowls, there is a high petting zoo. A Shark tunnel and a Dessert Dome. Plus one of the largest indoor Rainforest. We really like going and it was a nice way to end the summer!
