Another thing crossed off the list!

Monday night some of my bridesmaids and I went to David's Bridal and I picked the perfect dress for them!

All of the girls really liked it, and we're going to try to find a nice belt so we can add a little glam. 

Apparently Vera Wang takes longer to ship and at least two of my bridesmaids wont be getting their dress in until 18 days before the wedding!

I hope that the dresses fit well and that they only really need to worry about length. I still need to figure out a shoe for everyone. I'm thinking I will just let them pick their own black shoes, since it's a long dress you wont really be able to tell they are wearing different shoes.

I am so happy with this dress, and all my girls looked great in it! We're just waiting on two girls to place their orders and we will be all set.

The guys are also in Vera Wang. All of the grooms men will be in grey, and Michael will be in black. With ties to match the bridesmaids. There is still a possibility that Michael will be in grey as well, but I'd like him to stand out, and he does look good in black! 

Here are two ideas:

I have some time to make a final decision on the guys. They have it so easy!

Until next time! xoxo

We are officially moved in!

Our living room.

Today is the first day of October, and I'm hoping it is a good start to many things.

Today we are officially finally moved in to our new place. Everything is out of the old apartment, the walk through went well and our keys are returned.

Rent is due to my dad today, so I guess that really makes this whole move official.

All that's left to do is unpack EVERYTHING! There is an entire room filled with boxes right now and I don't even know where to start because of course nothing is organized in there and stuff is just everywhere. Got to get a move on tonight, especially with the kitchen so I can actually use it like it's supposed to be used.

Planning on tacos for dinner tonight. First real meal in the house that wont be out of the freezer or take out box. Just need to remember to take the beef out of the freeze on my lunch break!!

Until next time xoxo



Game day meal planning.

Yesterday was our first Football Sunday in the new apartment. It was just the two of us, so I didn't go all out. Just a tray of cheese and crackers. I also didn't have any dishes or pots and pans unpacked yet, so was another factor.


Mike got a call last night that his friend wants to spend the night Saturday and do Football Sunday with us. This weekend is also going to be when our new roommate will be moving in. So Sunday looks like it will be an eventful day!


More people means meal planning! We've never hosted a game day before, usually we go over someone else's place. We have a lot to do to get the place ready to have company over. Especially since we have to go over to the old apartment tonight and tomorrow night to finish up over there. Then it's on to finishing unpacking here!


Just ordered a few things on Amazon to finish up the place. Mostly new things for Sterling's tank that we needed and an air mattress for if anyone wants to spend the night since we have a spare room.


My father is supposed to finish up the floor in the spare room tonight, I can't want until the place it finally finished.


That reminds me. I need to take a trip to Bed Bath & Beyond to try and find a certain piece of artwork for my living room wall!


Here's what I'm thinking for Sundays game day menu:

• Pepperoni Dip
• Cheeseburger sliders
• Honey Siracha wings
• Salsa & Queso dip
• Possibly some sort of cheese and crackers

I know it's not a lot of food, but there will only be 4 of us. I don't want to go over board!

Until next time!

Moving is so much work!

We're officially moved in, but we still have a lot of work to do. We ended up fall a sleep on the couch last night and sleeping all the way through til morning. 

Tomorrow and Tuesday we have to go back to the apartment and finish getting all our little things we left there and cleaning things up. 

Wednesday should be out walk through and then we're officially out of the old place. It's a little sad but I know we will enjoy this place so much more. It already feels like home. 

Moving update...

Well it's been two months since we decided to move, and moving day is finally here!
We are in no way prepared! We start moving things tonight and hope to be all finished tomorrow!


We've gotten a lot of work done in the new apartment but it's not fully finished yet. So far my dad has redone our entire master bedroom & bathroom. New floors and paint. He also gave the main bathroom a face lift. Mike and I painted our living room, and after my dad gets back from vacation tomorrow he needs to finish the new floor in the second bedroom upstairs and also start working on the kitchen which needs new floors and paint. It's going to be orange!


It's going to be a long two days, but hopefully Sunday we can relax and watch football in our new place!

Meatball Parm!

This might not look to appetizing, but I sure did like it. 

I threw together a really quick dinner last night with some ingredients I had that needed to be used up.  

First I heated some frozen meatballs in a sauce pan with a left over jar of pasta sauce and a little red wine, basil, oregano, onion powder and garlic powder. Scooped them into hot dog rolls, topped them with some mozzarella cheese and threw them under the broiler for a few minutes just to melt the cheese. Clearly just a little too long as the hot dog buns started to burn! 

Definitely something I will make a gain in a pinch. Hubby prefers real meatballs and doesn't like the frozen kind, so maybe I'll have to wait until I make some from scratch. We will see. 

Until next time! Xoxo

WE ARE MOVING!

I'm both excited and upset about moving. We're leaving our first apartment together. We're leaving a really nice neighborhood and easy access to everything we need in the same town and within 3 minutes of us. But we're also gaining a HUGE apartment at a cheaper price for rent, inclusive of a washer and dryer and dishwasher!
It's an older apartment in a two family house that my parents own. Can't go wrong with Dad being the landlord! Not to mention one of my old friends live downstairs!
We wont be able to move in until October, but at least once it's September we can go in and start to decide how we want the walls painted and decide where furniture is going.
Not to mention it's only a few block from work, so I can slowly bring stuff with me to unpack at the house after work! (Plus 10 extra minutes of sleep in the morning sounds AMAZING!)
I'll keep you updated!!




Until next time! xoxo
