fail

I saw this really cute vintage poster on a blogger's page and I decided to attempt to make my own....and I failed. lol

Any other ideas for the sign in table at our wedding?

HELP!

Thank you :)

10

yes, 10 Days! Where has time gone? I don't know, but anyways. I'm excited!!!!!! This past weekend Ry and I went to LA to pick up the manzanita trees and any last minute items we needed. Overall, it was a fun trip. I was so tired by the end of the day! I found a veil! and guess how much it was? 50, 20, 10, 8! EIGHT whole dollars. lol :) I was expecting to spend at least $40, but I'm glad I looked in LA. Everything is MUCH cheaper! We found all of the decorations for the trees and we're saving a ton of money by doing it our selves! oh! and we found ties for the boys along with hankies for $12. We celebrated Alejandra's Birthday on Saturday and took her to Chuck E Cheese. She had so much fun! and so did we...lol :) Ryan is addicted to the basketball game. I beat him ONCE! but he's about 13 inches taller than me so.... it's really unfair!
uhmmm let's see. Oh yes! on Sunday I recieved a  horrible call from the 1st counselor in my ward saying the following "remember how I told you that the building was reserved for both the 4th and 5th of February? ....well, we just noticed that the first friday of every month there is a dance for the single adults. So.... you only have Saturday" Now.. I didn't freak out. until a little later lol. so yes, how fun is that? I can't set up anything until SATURDAY morning, which is in fact my wedding day. lol Oh dear... :) it's okay though. I'm sure things will work out. The counselor and the stake are trying to help out by setting up for me, but I just don't want to be worrying about how the building is going to look. you know? ugh, anyways. that's that. I'm trying to remail calm. Oh and guess what? I'm sick! On monday I woke up with a stuffy nose, a head ache, and watery eyes. I came to work and when I got home I felt even worse! I went to Ry's house and had family home evening with his family and I asked for a blessing :) so it was nice. Later that night, I felt really hot and I checked my temperature and it read 102. ew :/ I felt horrible! I didn't sleep at all! I woke up at 3 and had a wonderful chat with my friend Carlos lol. He was 1 out of 3 people on facebook who were up at that time.. The next day I stayed home from work and felt horrible! And today, here i am. At Work. Catching up on a ton of stuff! :( and bloggging lol. well anyways, I should get going. byeee!

I just realized...that in 16 days, It'll be Feb. 5! Ah, madness! now let's just hope I finish everything I need to finish... lol

I still need a veil. I completely forgot that I needed that...

Anyways, things are falling into place.

This past Saturday, Ry's mom hosted a bridal shower for me and it was soooo much fun! We played a few games and had a good time :) She had a pasta bar, salad, rolls, sweets, etc. I loved it!
And gifts...oh my goodness. I got so many! Here are some of the items: 2 crockpots, 2 baking sets, tupperware set, rice cooker, 2 vacuums, lingirie, cook book, waffle maker, towels, a basket full of random necesities (thanks Carla!), and SO many more things! It was really nice! I was so excited to take the gifts to our apartment, so we took them that same night :) Overall, it was great! I have 1 more shower this coming Friday! I'm so amazed at how many showers I had. lol THREE. crazy, isn't it? I have so many thank you cards to send out! but I have fun writting them so it's okay.

Sooo, that's that. I'll be going to LA on Saturday morning and I probably will be decorating manzanita trees all evening. I have a make up trial tonight and I'm excited! :) and my hair...uhm. I still don't know what to do lol. well, I'm off! Bye!!


Ps: The Temple was amazing!!!!!!

Excuse

The huge orange text on my blog....

I'm working on the blog that includes Ry in it so it threw this one off.

but anyways, I'm almost done. If you want a sneak peak....go here 

aka http://www.rsferrante.blogspot.com/

hehe :)

I made a new sig for that blog and it felt so strange, yet natural to have my name read : Stephanie Ferrante.

*Sigh*
I'm moving down the alphabet.. from A to F

In School I was always first or second...now I'm gunna be around 7 or 8...lol

anyways, I'm going to the temple today!!!!!!

Did I mention I have the BEST escort EVER? Because I do :)

anyways, gotta go!

Sometimes...

I regret planning to have a reception.

To be completely honest, I didn't want one.

I just wanted to get married, and have a nice dinner with close friends and family. And by close friends I mean the 4 friends I usually hang out with.

It's so stressful! Especially when Money is an issue.

Right now, I have to buy so many things and I have 1 paycheck to work with.

I knew I should have done the private dinner.


Btw, I went to the church distribution center yesterday and had such a... strange experience. lol

So this is what happened:
Ry and I went because it was the only day we could go. Nay (my escort) was working, so she couldnt go with me :/ we had planned on Thursday, but I had something to do. So anyways, off we go to the store. As soon as I tell them it's my first time buying G's, they show me a cardboard with like 8 different fabrics attached to it. So... I feel them and try to understand the difference. lol anyways, they were NOT helpful at all! I was SO lost!
The ceremonial clothes through me off. I was so confused!!!!! So anyway, we got what I needed and we left. About 5 minutes into the drive, Ryan is asking how I'm feeling and guess what I say? nothing. I cried. ALL the way home! like a true loser. lol and he was so confused...wondering why I was crying and asking what he did wrong. I just felt so out of the loop. and confused!!! He really didn't do anything wrong, I was just overwhelmed. I think it hit me! I'm a big girl now. So that's my story, I cried for 15 minutes, tears and all. Ry was very sweet and made me feel better :) So that's whats happenin'! I'm going to the temple on Friday!!!! ahhh, madness! I'll update about that :)

Well, I'm off for now! byeeee!

Hair

I am so frustrated with my hair. It's short and I don't like it.

I should have NEVER listened to Ryan.

"you would look really nice with short hair"

LIE.

I miss my long hair!!!!
Anyways,
here's the dillema:
How do I do my hair for the wedding? right now, my hair is above my shoulders... :(

help, if you can!

Thank You!

How do you celebrate a 23 monthaversary?

You go get a marriage license!!!
Yesss, 23 months of enjoying my sweet handsome man :)

And we will be going to LA to get our marriage license!

I'm so excited!!!!

We will be getting married in exactly ONE month! ohhhhhh myyyyyy gooodness!

And I KNOW that time is going to fly because I'm going to be so busy!

Friday is my bridal shower with my girlfriends! :) I'm excited about that!
Ive been getting texts like "what bra size do you wear?" and "does ryan like gummy bears?"

lol.

yes, I know...my friends are fun. :) and crazy.

On Saturday, we have a wedding AND our engagement pictures in the morning.
I don't know what to wear.... :/

I'll update on what I decide to wear.

So anyways, I need help. I can't come up with a name for the new blog that includes Ryan...lol :)
I told him to think of names or else, I'm going to kick him out of my blog and it'll be called life as a wife.

So he's "brainstorming"....we'll see.

anyways, I have to go! byeee!
