Busy Bees

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry for my lack of recent posting. What can I say graduation and a generous shove back to reality is brutal. This is how our lives goes, go to work (early) and he gets home in the afternoon, (and I am usually there all day) we come home to our adorable and horribly undertaken care of apartment and put in a good 3-5 hours of hard labor, then we start running errands for the wedding or make plans to run errands for the wedding, come home and eat dinner and then pass out by nine o'clock. And then we do it all over again! Doesn't that sound like fun? I thought you would agree.

So yesterday when we were putting in our 3-5 hours of hard labor into our house (ripped up the backyard. It is desolate. Come over and see it if you want. I'm so sore this morning. I cannot even describe), my nice/a little off her rocker neighbor came over to see what kind of progress we were making. She was quite impressed with our demolition skills and thought we were doing a great job. She then looked at me and said, "Don't you know that you're not supposed to make him work this hard until AFTER you're married?" She thought it was hilarious and gave herself a good chuckle while I indulged her with a slight laugh. But seriously? Am I supposed to wait to work "this hard" with my fiance until after we're married? That makes absolutely no sense! I would think it's a great idea to do hard manual labor together before you get married to see how you work together. But that's just me. Maybe that's why she's divorced, she and her ex-husband did not do manual labor together before they got married. Oh snap!

On the wedding planning front and progress...Brad and I went on an excursion to Michael's last night. As you all know, my beautiful friend Lorraine is also planning her wedding. She was kind enough to send me a link to a website with great wedding ideas. I searched the website and I found a really cute DIY project to wrap our favors in. Here it is. If you look at the page, we'll be doing the second and fourth pictures. I think they are really cute and instead of a leaf on the fourth picture, we're making tags that say, "From the kitchen of Mr. & Mrs. Harris". I am VERY excited for this project! And I hope all of my girlfriends are as well, because I am going to need all hands on deck for this one.

We're off to invitation land this afternoon to see what our options are and how much it is going to cost us...ha!
