Birthday Bash!

Yesterday Nick and I went to Nicks moms birthday bash! We went and ate at viasniors (which I probably spelled wrong) all you need to know about it is it is a Mexican restaurant. Of course Nick dad told them that it was her birthday so at the end they put a sombrero on her and we all sang happy birthday, the kids sang as elderly people. then we tried to use a $25 off coupon and they added a $22 gratuity. we thought that was interesting. anyway.. If Jen sends me pictures of the night there will be pictures to come!

busy times

I realize it has been a very long time since i have really kept up with the blog. Its been very busy. Since the last time I blogged I have paid for a wedding cake ( layers are lemon, chocolate and Bavarian creme, and vanilla bean with raspberry) , made a down payment on flowers, made a down payment on rentals, got my dress fitted, purchased dresses for bridesmaids and flower girls, decided to go with color families instead of specific colors. Still working on invites and time is running out.

things tat I have done that are not wedding related? I have done a lot but the most important is Noni's ( Nick's grandma) Surprise party. It was a lot of fun and Nick and I played "Zombie Apocalypse" with the kids when they got bored with staying inside.

Nick is still looking for a graphics job that is not free lance. He is keeping busy with side jobs though.

until next time!

cooking.

as my wedding day approaches I realize how poor I actually am. something that I have been looking for is a cookbook, something along the lines of healthy eating on a budget. I haven't been able to find one so I am thinking about experimenting as I go and making my own cookbook. my first recipe is cake balls. its not really healthy but they are super good and pretty cheap.

Bridesmaid dresses

Picking bridesmaid dresses is the thing I hate most about wedding planning. you have to find that "perfect" dress that will fit all body types, is in the right color, fits the budget, and in this case is also very modest. Having a really hard time with it... going to talk to nick and see about changing the bridesmaid dress color.

AVATAR!

I cant wait to see this movie!

Creepy Santa!

When you think of Christmas you think of the jolly old fellow that brings presents to all the good girls and boys.

Nick found a site full of Santa's that would be considered creepy. Examples:

December

Halloween was fun, spending time with the family is always wonderful during thanksgiving. this December is full of adventure!

Next week I am going to a cookie exchange in Tri-cities with Nicks mom and my soon to be sister in law. I think I'm going to make white chocolate macadamia cranberry cookies. we are also going to do a white elephant exchange.

Nick graduates from school December 18th. I didn't realize this until just recently so I am scheduled to work but I am going to do my very very best to get it off!

Unfortunately I probably wont be able to make it to my family Christmas because I work retail and they are going to Vancouver. Christmas in town will still be fun though.

in the next couple of months Nick and I will know if we are going to stay in Yakima a little longer then planned, when and where we are moving, what kind of an exiting job Nick gets... so on and so forth.


Happy December everyone!
