Let the Games Begin: September 2008

ND/PU

This last Saturday Heather Woodlee, Alissa and I went tailgating. It was a great day and we had a lot of fun. Alissa is going to have her baby next week!! I was a little worried with her walking around so much but she was a trooper!!
We saw lots of people and wished we would have went earlier so we could hang out more because we ran out of time, we had a table reserved at the Buns for 2:30 so we had to head over there sooner than we wanted to.

Before we tailgated I took Heather and Alissa to see my dress and try it on for them since they had not seen it and Alissa lives out of town. They loved it!! I want to try it on everyday!!

Anna and I

Heather, Ginny, Alissa and I

Heather and I got extensions in our hair, they were free! Heather got blue and gold for ND and I just got gold since my hair is so dark for PU, they were really cool until we tried to take them out and had a lot of glue still in our hair! Maybe they weren't such a good idea!! And maybe that is why they were free! :)

Mama caught holding someones beer!

PS. I also found out some very exciting news from one of my best friends, its going to be a very exciting year!

THE DRESS!!

Last night I found my wedding dress!! I am so excited to finally have my dress picked out!! We put a deposit and everything!! I would love to post a picture but some things need to be kept a suprise!!!
I found it at Bernardo's for the Bride, it was on a display and they said they had just gotten it in, I was even the first person to try it on and now its mine!! No one else will even see it!!

I think my mom also found her dress and I picked out the bridesmaid dresses!!

So exciting!!

In the Paper today!

McCullough — Reed

MISHAWAKA — May 30, 2009, is the wedding date chosen by Heidi McCullough and Justin Reed, both of Mishawaka. She is the daughter of Joan McCullough of South Bend and the late Virgil McCullough. Parents of the prospective groom are Colleen and Mark Mast of Nappanee and Rhonda and Jerry Reed of Mishawaka.

Hello!

Well, nothing too exciting has happened this week. I did go pay the DJ the deposit last week so that is taken care of and I have had more luck talking to the church and reception site. So we are close on getting those things taken care of. Both have given me the OK on the date, just other little details!
Today is my big weigh in for my Fitness Challenge at work!! I am very excited to lose weight!!

Saturday my mom and I are going to LaPorte to look at some dresses for her and some for me, I hope I can find something!! Next week we are going to another Bridal shop to look for desses as well.

Fitness

At work we have started a Fitness Challenge in our building. Heather and I are on the committee so it is a lot of fun!

We have our first weigh in next Wednesday and it will go on for 12 weeks, right through the start of the holiday season!! This will help motivate me to start my wedding day weight loss!! I have added the link to the Fitness Challenge at work!!

First Registry

Yesterday after work my mom met me at Girly Girl and we started my first registry!! It was a lot of fun! Since I am a former Girly Girl employee Cyndi is letting me do the first registry as a trial and would love for others to be able to do this at the store. I will have a link to my registry soon. You are able to go to the store or you can look at my registry link and call and order from it over the phone. Cyndi can wrap the gifts and give them to me or my mom!

If you haven't been in to Girly Girl I suggest you go! Lots of cute things!!

Dresses

Well, the dress shopping was fun! It was a little different than I expected...my mom and Jill did not like ANY of the dresses at all. I guess we did not find THE ONE!! I did find out though that I should try on all types of dresses because I ended up liking some I didn't think I would!!
I also had Heather and Heather try on some bridesmaid dresses and those were really cute!! I would post pics but some things need to be a suprise!!

So, it turns out there will be more dress shopping days until we find THE ONE!!

Tonight after work my mom and I are going to Girly Girl to register for some wedding stuff!! I'm excited, my first registry!!

PS: my goal for this week, pay the DJ the deposit!!

Trolley

Well I found out yesterday that there will be no trolley... so sad! Oh well, that is the least important thing about the big day! I will find something else!!

Good news... I think we are going dress shopping on Sunday, wish me luck!!

PS, did I mention how happy I am that it is FRIDAY!!! Yea!
