November 13th- Show night for Garnder
November 14th- Date night
November 15th- Show night for Gardner

All of that was done on top of working my normal 40 hours!
I'm telling you all of this because I was grounded 2 weeks ago! Who grounded me? My mom and fiance! Okay, and I will put myself in there as well! It was the first time since August that I did not have anything planned in the evening! So, I was then told/and I agreed that I would not do anything but go to work and then come home and rest. No cleaning, no working out, no doing anything except resting and going to be super early!
So, I did that for a week and it was pretty fun actually! Overall, I feel much better, but am still super tired still! So, I'm trying to go to bed as early as I can and not do too much when I go home! A crazy time in my life is about to start and I don't want to get sick again!
Then it was the week of Thanksgiving! I love this time of year! I went down to visit with Curt's parents! We went out and looked for wedding rings and Christmas gifts! Then I had Thanksgiving with my family and once again went out shopping! I bought- a fitbit, a camera, a dress form, and some fabric!
Here is the big news: We bought everything we will need for the centerpieces at the reception!!!
So, I took my glittered tree over to my folks house. I wanted a second opinion on them. I just wasn't feeling it. And my family agreed with me. So, I went looking for some stuff Friday night. I bought some glittered stuff from JoAnn's, took it home, and it was a huge hit! Saturday morning my parents met me at JoAnn's around 7:45am! We went into the isle of Christmas glitter decorations and went to town! We figured out what we wanted for the lantern vase- now we need 13 of each orange, purple, and silver! Done! Now let's move on to the brass centerpiece. I went to get some fabric cut and when I was back my folks had figured out what each centerpiece will look like! Now we need 13 of these silver and 13 of these silver...13 orange and 13 purple!- We were short a few silver and 2 twirly orange things! Then it was onto the tall centerpieces! We need 8 purple, 5 Orange, and 8 silver! There is no more orange at this store. On to silver- there were 8! Yahoo, we wiped them out of silver! Now it's onto Purple...they have 7? Are you kidding me? We are short one purple? Then I go down onto my hands and knees and found 2 more purple things under the set up! Yahoo! We now have 10 purple...and yes, I took all 10!
Later that afternoon, we went to another JoAnn's and found most of the stuff we needed! We are still missing 2 twirlies...but we are pretty sure we can figure out something else! We also started looking for the tall vases! We found 5 at one store and then 3 at another store! Everything was brought down to my folks basement and a table was set up! Once Megan is here (21 short days) we will start putting them together! We also went to IKEA and bought 35 picture frames that will be used for table numbers!
My Goals for Winter Break
1. Put 35 centerpieces together
2. Put Invitations together
3. Put table numbers together
4. Put Bridal bouquets together
Can you imagine getting all of that done? I would feel so ahead of the game if all of that get done! I am hopeful and just excited to get the opportunity to hang out with my mom, sisters, and anyone else who will be joining us for the centerpiece celebration!
Okay, I'm out for now! Have a great rest of your day!
