I just realized I haven't posted all week!  So, what have I accomplished this week? 

Monday, we met with our officiant!  It went well and it was exciting to walk in the church and talk about how everything was going to be.  We are going to meet again soon.  He is going to work on getting some vows together for us to do with the children.  We feel like they are as much a part of this marriage as we are!  Not only am I getting a new husband, but I am getting two new stepchildren!  And Jason is getting one new stepchild!  I'm so excited about us being a family!

Other things that I did this week:

We got a videographer!  H.B. Moore will be our videographer!  He is very reasonable and will give us one or two DVDs of the ceremony and reception.  I am thinking of asking him to come a little early to get some footage before the ceremony when we are getting ready.  He also said he would do the rehearsal dinner if he didn't have anything else going on that night at no extra charge.

We finished registering for gifts!  This has been so frustrating!  We registered at JCPenney a couple of weeks ago, and that went fine.  Today, Crystal and I went to Walmart to register, only to find out that they no longer have a scanner in the store.  They said the only way to register was online.  Problem is....they don't have some of the things I need online.  So, I ended up adding a few things tonight anyway.  I hope my guests can find them.  I also registered at Belk today.  I scanned every item that I wanted, then we checked the registry.  None of the items were showing up!  So, I had to go back again tonight and scan everything again!  It didn't take as long, but it was rather annoying!

I purchased 6 shepherd's hooks for a project I'm doing (with the pomanders).  They are black, and I'll be painting them ivory or white.  I found them at Family Dollar for only $3.50 each!  That's the best price I've seen!  And they look like they are about 4 foot tall!

Besides all that, I have one shower on the 27th and one on the evening of the 28th!  I need to go dress shopping because I have nothing to wear to these showers!!

Good news....School's out for the summer!!  I will have plenty of time to do wedding stuff...I hope anyway!!!!

 

We have so many things to do!  Yesterday was Memorial Day and we celebrated by having our engagement photos taken!  We just needed a few portrait setting photos, so we went to Sears Portrait Studio.  The pictures turned out pretty good!  After that, we went to JCPenney and registered for some gifts.  JCPenney is one of my favorite stores, so I had to register there!  We are also planning to register at Wal-mart and Belk because they are convenient for local people.  I also love Target, but they do not let you return or exchange any item without a receipt, even if you received a duplicate from your wedding registry!  So, I decided not to use Target!  Tonight, we have an appointment with out photographers.  It seems like there are so many things to do, and not enough time!
