Snowed In

Snow started falling yesterday before lunch and didn't stop until after bedtime. The drive home took about an hour but made it home safely. The bears are loving the snow! Here are some pictures and videos.

So I've been playing with different backgrounds, colors, fonts, etc. I'm determined to find one that I love. It's not like we can leave our house with all the snow outside and more to come.

SPRING, WHERE ARE YOU?!

Debating

I'm debating continuing my blog. I'd like to think everyone and their mom reads it and follows it, but highly likely. :) If you are a regular follower, shoot me an email or leave a comment to let me know if you'd like to see updates.

I may just update our website that way I'm not as committed to doing regular updates.

Let me know what you think!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Still Here

Hi guys. I'm still here. I will admit, I've been enjoying not having a wedding to plan and its taking me years to do anything. :)

I'm debating continuing with this blog or starting a brand new one since I'm not a bride anymore. I plan to make updates to our website too and may just use that site for everything, blog, house/family updates, pictures, etc. Fred is working on honeymoon pictures in between studying, so they're coming soon. So stay tuned!

In the meantime, here are some wedding pictures taken by friends and family.

Hello Mrs. Durant!

And back as a Mrs. What's up world? So we've been back to reality for a few weeks, really wishing that we were still on our honeymoon. And can you believe we're already been married for 4 weeks! We've had the best time of our lives this past month with the wedding day literally being the best day of my life. It was the most perfect day and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding day! Thank you to those who were with us. We both looked around at church and then later at the reception thinking how blessed we were to have such great friends and family around us.

I'm slowly gathering all of the pictures that were taken from friends and family and hope to post those somewhere. We also have a ton of pictures that we took on our honeymoon and will post those as well. Our pictures from the photographer will be ready to share this week. I can't wait!
Here is a sneak peak that she posted on her blog.

And since I'm no longer the bride, although I wish I could wear my wedding dress everyday, I'll probably start a new blog.

Signing off as Misses

Well folks, with only 1.5 days left, I'm afraid my time will be spent elsewhere away from the computer, although I have a long ways to go before the slide show for the rehearsal dinner is complete. Yikes!

On my way to Kinkos to finish up the programs. My printer was giving me a little bit of an attitude, so that wasn't helping. Then off to buff and clean the rings, even out my tan, buy a few more things for the favors, do the big drop off at the Lakes, over to Amy's to drop off programs...she's my little worker bee! I think that's it?!

Then back to work on the slide show!

For folks coming to the wedding, I'm looking forward to seeing you there. Fred and I are thrilled to have our family and friends with us on our big day!!

Thanks for following my wonderful adventures of wedding planning. I truly did enjoy it and loved almost every minute of it.

Will probably continue to write post wedding, but only until I get our website set so you can get updates there.

Signing off as Misses!

Wrapping Things Up

I had a blast wrapping all of the gifts for our friends and family involved in the wedding. I'm starting to slowly see the floor of my "wedding" room.

I'm Getting Married this Week!!

WOW!!!! Where did the time go? I can't believe we're getting married this week. I've been so busy with finalizing everything that I haven't been able to post any fun updates. I never even posted shower pics! Things have surprisingly falling into place with only a few moments of panic here and there.

Fred had a fabulous time at his residency week. Very long days, but he said they were worth it.

Only 2 more days left at work and it's game time! I got to see my 93 years old grandma this past weekend. She flew in by herself from the Philippines to NY!! You go girl! Kirk flew in from New Zealand Saturday and is still adjusting.

Ok, gots to work!!! Until next time.

Monogram Love

I found saw this idea on a blog months and months ago and loved the idea. With the help of the craftiness and perfectionist mentality of Amy and her mom, they turned out great!

See if you can find these at the church and The Lakes!

Again in the news!

Our engagement announcement was published in the Worthington and Upper Arlington Suburban Newspaper yesterday. Check out the article if you don't get either paper.

In the News

Sorry I've been a blogger! Just too many things to do! Lynne found our names in the paper yesterday. Apparently they publish marriage licenses. I think I was one of the "old" brides! :)

Can Never Get Enough Flowers

Here are the roses I got from Fred for my birthday!
Thank you Fred!

Marriage License

We got our marriage license this morning!!! Apparently you can still be third cousins and still be able to get married here in this great state of Ohio. It was super easy and effortless!

What more could I want on my birthday than a marriage license?
Excuse our faces...we were staring into the sun.

ONE MONTH!!!!

They're all reminding me how much time we have! Technically 4 weeks and a few days :) And yes, I AM counting! I am on 150% full speed everyday checking things off the list.

Shower pictures to come...

Boys in Tuxes

I LOVE the clean, crisp, fresh look of a man in a tuxedo. Fred, his dad and my dad all went to get fitted for their tuxes yesterday. I got a huge smile on my face as soon as Fred tried on the shirt and his vest! That did it for me! :)

Hostess Gifts

I'm still collecting all of the shower pictures before sharing, but I wanted to share the hostess gifts I got for all of the bridesmaids, Erica's mom for graciously offering her house for the shower and for Sherri who also graciously hosted the bachelorette festivities.

It's amazing what you can do with a paper bag, circle punch and some ribbon.


Thanks again girls!

Showered with Love!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the ladies who showered me with love this past Saturday. I couldn't have asked for a better day.

And a special thank you to my bridesmaids (who I should have pointed out at the shower) for all of your hard work in planning the most perfect day! I'm such a lucky girl!

Stay tuned for pics! And a sneak peak of the bachelorette party!

The Never Ending List

Why does it seem like my to-do list keeps growing and growing?! I feel like I've been super productive over the past few weeks, yet the list doesn't seem to get smaller.

The invitations are out and how fun is it to see the RSVPs come in! It's like a little surprise everyday. And we love reading the comments.

Both wedding bands have been ordered, took me longer as usual to decide on mine, but what's new? I'm the most indecisive bride there is. I drive myself nuts.

So nothing new and exciting to write about. Still need to finalize a lot of the ceremony details and also some Filipino traditions I'd like to do. Music still needs to be determined, but we may already have our first dance song!

53 more days...

Until the next time,
Amy

2 Months to Go!...oh, and Happy 4th!

Sneak Peak

We LOVE LOVE LOVE how our engagement pictures turned out! Amy, from C Studios, is brilliant! Here's a little sneak peak.
