*NWR* Halloween

*NWR*= Not Wedding Related

 

 

Josh and I are big fans of Halloween! We have dressed up every year, and there has actually only been 1 year he did not go out with me. We also dress up Whiskey (our dog) of course!!

We've gotten more creative as the years go on!

 

Starting at the top left (2008) Scotsman,, and "St Paulie's Girl", top right (2009) Spartan, and school girl, bottom left (2010) Link and Zelda [We had a whole group of us go out at the Super Mario Smash Bros-one of the best years yet], bottom right (2011) Alice, the Mad Hatter, and the White Rabbit.

 

(2012) Flynn Ryder and Rapunzel

 

 

This year was no different, I was so excited for this Halloween, I had my costume picked and planned a few days after Halloween 2012. Josh took a little long to decide on his, but it was EPIC!!!!

Obviously we are 90's kids, that's what we grew up in, so these costumes were a testament to that. Anyone older than the 90's didn't get it and anyone younger thought it was cool, but didn't understand.

May I present:

 

Carmen San Diego & Quialman!!!! 2013

 (This is the top contender for best Halloween yet!)

My co-maids of honor cam out with us, Stephanie (on the end) was a witch, and Aubrey was Robin Hood



 



5 Months to Go

We are down to just 1 hand in counting, 1 hand, can you believe it!?!?!

I feel like everything is going to snowball from this point on. I am literally going to trip and it's going to be wedding day!
The snow ball effect all starts with Josh's step-sister getting married this last Saturday, and it was wonderful.
This Friday is the start of hockey season (I know, not really wedding related, but it is where we met, and it was the opener game we met at too).

There isn't my usual check list for this month:

• The ceremony venue has completed its renovation/remodel and we are planning a walk through to decide final decorations.
• I did a trail for my hair, it did not come out exactly what I wanted, so I am moving to plan B and we will try again.
• Have a final settlement on the centerpieces and a firm plan on how to attack DYI them
• We have decided what the Mothers will be given to wear on the wedding day to replace a corsage.

To continue with the snowball effect: Halloween, we are seeing Michael Buble, then one of my best friends (who is 1 of my maids of honor) and I her bridesmaid bachelorette party, then Thanksgiving, then her wedding, off to TSO after that, then my wedding crafting and DIY party, the Christmas, my bridal shower, Valentine's day, my bachelorette party, Josh's bachelor party, rehearsal and WEDDING!!!!
See I trip and its wedding day! :)
I could not be more excited though and I keep having dreams and visions of me walking down the aisle to my hunny.

Also: I am behind on my Bride Box and Josh's Birchbox. For me, I wasn't overwhelmed with my Bride Box and kind of just let it pass, hopefully this month will be better, my last box it Nov from the 6 month subscription. I may/or may not depending on time, get Josh's up this month. It was more or less the same as the other boxes, same stuff, different brands, and the "big" item wasn't anything to write about.

On another side note: When all is said and down with the wedding (and possibly honeymoon) I can turn this blog into a book as a forever keepsake!!
I believe I have mentioned this before, that this blog will not just stop after the wedding, I plan on keeping up with it through our time as newlyweds, and any adventures along the way.

*NWR* The Weekend

*NWR* = Not Wedding Related

 

 

This weekend was a lot of fun! However as the title explains it is not wedding related. Josh and I had signed up for a 5K obstacle race back in November. This past weekend was the day! It was called  Run for your Lives . It was a zombie infested 5K and obstacle course. It was A LOT of fun! I never thought I would enjoy this. We I should have trained more for this. I walked/speed walked a lot of it and ran through the zombie patches, when I had my flags. The obstacles were the most fun! I would do a 5K of just obstacles the whole way! We both were and still are sore for the untrained running, but we cant wait to do it again! We also have a few battle scars. As part of the course you had to crawl through a mud/sand pit with water....and rocks.... my knees are a little beat up, but its just part of the story. Josh had all 3 of his flags and was bobbing and weaving from the zombies hit a water spot and went down, he's got some scratches on his shoulder from that. Below are some pictures of us after the race.

 

You can tell how muddy and grimy it was by the way we look, but SMILES :)

We got cleaned up and a had a picture with the banner

They gave us beer when we crossed the finish line!

 

See the partial shirt I'm wearing in that last one? That is the next race we are going to prepare for. This Run for Your Lives was in Hialeah, Miami. Armageddon Ambush is what my shirt is promoting, and we are going to try for that one in Davie, the date is TBD.

 

 

Sunday was a great day as well. The weather was perfect!!! So we took advantage and took a small picnic to the park with the dog, kites, and Frisbee.

Look at those beautiful blue skies and the kite extraordinaire and helper Whiskey.

 

Josh had gotten us kites for Easter. Mine is the angry pig green on and Josh of course had Star Wars, Yoda.

 

 

 

Not that I am going to divulge into some wedding stuff, I will just say there is a lot of wedding things going on this week and those updates will be up later. :)
