Map

I have now included a map and the ceremony venue address to the "Ceremony/Reception" page. :)
Please remember if you would like access to that page you need to contact myself or Josh for the password.  (Please reference the post below on how to obtain the password)
Thanks!

Hello all, This blog is public, meaning anyone can view it. I don't care about most of the information random people looking at. The 1 thing I am worried about is the "Ceremony/Reception" page. That has all the information about the locations, times, directions. So to keep people from just coming across that information and showing up. I have password protected that page. If you want access to that page, please email me at ktef(at)yahoo(dot)com. [replace (at)=@ ; (dot)= . ] Thanks for your understanding!

Hello All

Hello,

If you are on the blog for the first time now, it's probably because you received your Save the Date info card. 

Welcome!

If you have been to the blog before, welcome back, and thanks for staying connected with us on my ongoing post.

Let me give you a little tour:

Check out the bar above this post title: There you will find all the information you need that pertains directly to the wedding ceremony and reception.

• Home: will take you back to the "home" page, which is all my post in date descending order
• About us: pretty self explanatory
• Ceremony/Reception: this will have all the information of the places where they are being held along with a map (coming soon)
• Meet the Wedding Party: pretty self explanatory also
• Photos: These are some little of this and little of that pictures. For a full view of pictures taken at Engagement Party, Engagement photos, and coming later photos please see the shutterfly picture sharing site
• Registry and other misc info: This will have the information you need for our registry, and anything else that may be important, but does not fit in any other categories.

On the right side bar:

• You have at the top, an option to sign up with your email and you will received an email anytime I post something new to the blog.
• Just below that is my archives. This allows you to look back at past post and see what was going on. It is sorted by month.
• Below that are some links and other options on how to stay connected with the blog for the blog savvy people, if you are, check out the options I have to add my blog to your regular news feed.
• Under that are Labels. I label every blog post with labels and it adds them up over there. For instance, say you just wanted to check out the month countdown post. Click on the word "countdown" and ALL the blog post with that label will pop up. The more post that have a particular label, the bigger the word.
• Then we have the Shutterfly logo, click that and you will be taken to our picture sharing site (also listed on the info card in the Save the Date)
• Lastly, we have my blog background provider.

Keep your eyes on anything in the blog or post that the font is colored yellow. That means that there is a link if you click the word, and will take you directly to a page I may be talking about.

You can scroll down while reading the older post in order and hit the "older post" link on the bottom to keep reading and catching up on everything that's been going on here on the blog. Also there is a cute little countdown to the wedding picture at the bottom.

You can also save this URL under you favorites, and always check back. Josh and I are planning on using this blog after we get married, to keep everyone updated on what's going on with our lives and the adventures of newly weds.

Also keep in mind, you can leave comments below on any blog post. I would love to hear from all of you!!

Another side note: **To all out of town guest with children: We have made the decision to have an adult only ceremony and reception. We love all the kids, but unfortunately we have too many to accommodate. For your convenience we will be hiring a few adult (school teacher) babysitters at Kathy Farrell's house with pizza, movies and games for the night. For any additional information you can email myself: ktef(at)yahoo(dot)com or my mom: kfarrell920(at)yahoo(dot)com
[REPLACE THE (at) with @ and (dot) with . I have written it that way to avoid spam mail]
Thank you for your understanding!

Luxe Lollies

Remember a while back I wrote about the Luxe Lollies I received in my Bride Box? And raved about them in one of my countdown post when we ordered them for my friend's bridal shower?
I shared the information of these lollies and their customer service with my event planners and they wrote a little something about them on their blog. :-)
Check out their post here: http://lizandlexevents.blogspot.com/2013/09/luxe-lollies.html

6 Months to Go

Are we seriously 1 month away from counting down on 1 hand?? I honestly can't wait for the day I get to marry my best friend.

6 months to go!!

1. Send out Save the Dates- going out tomorrow!!!!! :) I can't wait for you all to see them!

2. Order bridesmaid dresses- been done!

3. Book Honeymoon- DONE! See this post for where we are going!

We are still slightly ahead of the curve on what should be done. Josh and I both bought our wedding bands, and we both love them so much, we can not wait to wear them forever!
There had bee a little snafu in the guys shoes when I first started planning, but apparently I kept bother the right person and she pulled through for me! I am so excited. (You will have to wait and see at the wedding- in 6 months!)
We have FINALLY booked a ceremony venue. All that information will be on the "ceremony/reception" tab above soon, with a map.

Please remember you can leave comments! We love to hear from you!!!

September BirchBox Man

Josh's Birchbox came in. I love how we get it the first week of the month. I also love their information cards and they always have a theme.

 

Info card side 1

This month's theme was travel ready and essentials.

Info card side 2

 

 

VitaMan $19 (full size $28)

Face and Body Cleanser

Hanz de Fuko $17.50 full size

Medium hold oil absorbing styler for second day hair

Luxe City Guide- LA $9.99

Pocket city guide, info on where to stay, eat, and play

I wish they had a bigger selection of maps. For the US they have, LA, MIA, NY, & Chicago. No granted I want to go back to Chicago, I wish they had one with our honeymoon locations: Seattle, Vancouver, or Alaska. I like their small size though, and packed full of info.

Men in Cities $40

Leather passport case

When I saw thing box was about traveling, I was really hoping there was a phone case in here, but this passport case is pretty cool, and since we will be needing them for our honeymoon, he can present it with style.

Ernest Supplies $25- full size

 Cooling Shave cream

The packaging cracks me up, because it reminds me of the little applesauce food packets for kids.

 

Also included was a $10 year subscription card to Men's Health. We will probably get this as well, since he is trying to keep in better shape, and this may give him more ideas and better motivation.

 

Josh perspective: I haven't had the time to try out these little things but out of them all, I like the second day quicksand and the leather passport case. I do with we could have a selection of the maps and preferably a wider selection. I'll keep you updated on the other stuff once I try them out.
