Hello everyone!!
Well I did a test page of the invitations for the wedding. All looks good. Katie, my soon to be Sister in law, suggested that all the men wear blue shirts and the women wear white. Because the theme for the wedding is blue and white. And Derek knows how to do origami. So we have a stack of scrapbook squares and will be getting more, so he can make blue and white paper cranes on the tables. Good stuff. He is going to do a variety of origami... it should look good
I have lots of websites on my list for party favors, gifts for my guests to thank them for coming ...etc. Things that dont just get thrown in the trash, useful items...
and we have Save the Date Magnets we will be doing!!
Those will be sent after the invitations go out ...
first we need to talk with people and make sure whichever date we pick will be good enough or not get in the way of anything else. Katie wants it during the summer, so thus summer it is. Even though I look horrid in summer. I figure June should be good enough. Warm enough. I guess snow is still around in May, I don't remember that being the case last year...which was when Derek and I made our relationship official ...
We were going to have it on that date, but I guess it would be better, just in case some people consider May to be cold in New England.
But tomorrow Derek and I will be getting some photos developed to put in our album and I took a paper crane and put it into the album. We are going to save an invitation and a Save the Date magnet for the album ..as you can see its our first year together (Engagement and finally the wedding Album) Fun Fun Fun!!
I went speed walking for an hour and I drank a 1 liter bottle of water with other fluids as well ...
and I walked up some hilly areas. I finally found a path I can take that has sidewalk. Its is beautiful today. I don't think we are going to go walking again today, but we probably will go out back near the river, but man is it cold. I had two layers on and I was cold for a bit and than I was burning up a storm and sweating when I sped up. Derek is slow, I think he should push himself, but he wont do it... It would be good for him. I seriously dont think he can walk at a high pace with heart beat going ... oh well ...he says he is more endurance. I can do a lot of walking too, but I mix it up, going faxt and than taking it easy. but I dont know. Cant lead him to maybe shake up his routine. He does do karate, but it doesnt work on all your body ... he needs to walk... lol
and he is because He is walking with me, but I go so much ahead of him, but I have to otherwise I dont get my heart rate up at all. The jaunt is not what I need, a powerhouse work out walk is what I need everyday lol
So tomorrow afternoon we are going to do the same walk. And we are also walking to housing, so we can get my address for where my rent check will come in the mail. Derek and I are working out the apartments and are planning to purchase a queen size bed, because I refuse to continue sleeping in a full size bed. We push each other off the bed side lol and We need king size blankets. I am not going to be fighting over the blankets with him. We are using queen blankets from my house off my old bed, but even now we are fighting over the blanket, which is how it was with Alex. Finally I was smart and bought King size Cashmere blanket for fall, King size comforter, etc. All is good ...
I have the next moving day as Wed... move more of my furniture and clothing and what not here. Eventually we will bring my bookcase and books over... can't go with out my trinkets and books. My trinkets are from Jaoan, Turkey, Gautamala, etc. No way am I parting from them lol
So things are looking up. Thanks to everyone who is writing. I just get so depressed and dont write in others diaries. I can barely write in mine sometimes..
