6 Months

Well by the time I post this it will probably be after midnight and technically 6 months from yesterday. I am doing so good with my blog posts. It is amazing what I can do without having to go to school. But all that ends next week!! I will start graduate school on Tuesday and my frequent blog posting will end. Time  seems to be flying by and I can't believe that Miles and I have already been engaged for 14 months!!

Time for business... My dress should be in any day now and I am waiting by the phone for the call. I am also waiting for calls about jobs. Speaking of calling me,  I have a new number and if you would like to have it please message me on Facebook or comment on my blog and I will text you. I still have all my numbers, but I just have a new number now. My number is kind of wedding related. Miles and I made our first transition to married life, he has officially taken financial responsibility for my cell phone bill (since I am unemployed and all). Now back to the serious stuff. I am pretty much caught up for my things to do in the coming month. There are a few save the dates that still have not gone out and I promise they are coming eventually. This weekend Miles is coming to visit and after we go and buy my textbooks, ugh, we are going to look at some clothing options for the groomsmen and the GROOM! I am also still waiting   to finalize everything with my cake baker. My paper samples came in today and I think I found a good maroonish shimmer card stock to back the invitations.

This will probably be my last post for awhile unless something awesome happens. "Today" will also be my last day of work at the office I have worked at for the past 3 and a half years. I will miss all the wonderful people I have had the pleasure of getting to know during my time there, but it is time to move on. I cannot imagine how my experience at Texas A&M would have been without all the caring people that looked after me and took a genuine interest in my life. I know a couple of them follow my blog and I just want to say you will not be forgotten and I love you all.

Invitations and CAKE

I have ordered wedding invitations! I am so happy Stacy, a lady that works with me, told me that Copy Corner (a kind of Kinkos on steroids here is College Station) recreates wedding invitations. I was able to get invitations, insert cards and envelopes for about a $1 an invitation. I saved so much money doing that and they look really good. As soon as I get them I will post a picture. I am working on getting some maroon shimmer paper to back them and possibly some envelop liners. My paper samples should be here tomorrow. It seems I get so many things in the mail now that I am planning a wedding. I am also hoping that the envelopes come in soon so I can start addressing them, yes 6 months before the wedding. It took a long time to do the save the dates and the wedding invitations will be more elaborate. This time I will get Miles to put the stamps on!

We, as in me and ol' MOBzilla, are working on Jr. Bridesmaids and flower girl dresses. There are so many choices. 

I also contacted the baker for my cake and I am waiting to hear from her again to work out all the details. I am still waiting for Miles to decide what his cake is going to look like and who is going to make it. All I know is that it will be red velvet. 

Believe me there will be many more posts this summer. 

Here is a picture of what I want my cake to look like and the cake toppers I am going to order. 

Graduation!

Well it's true, I have officially graduated and now I am about two weeks from graduate school. I am also actively seeking employment and have at this time applied to 13 different school districts. Now that I have a short break its time to get super serious about wedding planning.

The most recent centerpiece trial was successful and now we are searching for supplies.

The bridesmaid dresses have been chosen. There was a lot of drama surrounding this particular topic, but it seems to be resolved now.

Last week I met with the caterer who is also now the florist. (Thank goodness for full service event companies, some people think that my wedding is a holiday sheesh!) We seem to have everything worked out.

We have also hired our photographer which is very exciting! Thanks Aunt JoAnne!

And most importantly.....

THE SAVE THE DATES HAVE BEEN MAILED!!!! 

After a lot of time addressing each one, yes I even got so tired I let Miles help, they are finally in the mail and being hand delivered by various people. I love the way they turned out, but there is one problem! NO RETURN ADDRESS! Who does that? Anyway if yours doesn't come in the mail, I proimise you were not forgotten. I might have the wrong address for you, but it won't get sent back so... email me and I will get you one.( kayla.hamer@hotmail.com ). Now that the wedding is only about 6 months away I hope to have more frequent and exciting blog posts.
