Daddy & Daughter

So, since my dad's name is Rocky, I find it only fitting that we somehow incorporate the song, Eye Of The Tiger into the wedding. While searching for the song, I came across this. Almost peed my pants laughing during the first minute or so.

Apartment Goodies

Right now, we're looking at Urbane Apartments in Royal Oak. They're very neat! They have newer appliances, earth friendly attributes ( YaY! ), and just are in a good area for the both of us!

Now with the details......

We went to IKEA today and spent.. let's just say a good amount of money. haha. It was money well spent though!

Here is a little preview of what we bought (all images from IKEA.com):
Our coffee table



Imagine this horizontal.. and it's our TV stand!



A lamp very similar to this X 2


We also bought some cute wicker baskets for our TV stand, cutting boards (two kinds to boot!), cooking knives, light bulbs (need them for our lamps), and a picture frame for the bathroom.

Last weekend we bought some stuff for our bathroom at Home Goods. We bought a soap dish, soap dispenser [yes, both], garbage can, and cup all made from recycled bamboo. Which makes me VERY happy! :)

And last but not least, I long for the day where I find a spot to use this in our apartment:


But in yellow! {{IKEA doesn't have a picture of the yellow one!}}

Weekend Update

I saw this picture and thought, "Hey! I like long rectangular tables. How can I incorporate this into MY wedding?"

My answer...

Make these the reserved tables for the immediate family! I just saw this picture today, so the idea is still fresh. It may change.

On another note, we might have found a DJ. We were researching the other night. Found one with a good deal. Had the DVD sent to us. It's a VERY VERY economical cost. AND ((my favorite part)), we can have a classical guitarist to play during dinner. LOVE it!

Another thing..

I JOINED A GYM!!!

I am so into working out right now.{It's kind of scary, actually} haha. I joined Fitness 19, which is right across the street from my work. I've been going every day after work. It's only been a week. My plan is to continue going every day after work and do arm and leg exercises at home afterwards. Then on the days I don't work, I will do videos or the elliptical at home. I even count calories! I never EVER thought I'd say that! haha. My goal is to lose at least 40 pounds for the wedding [hoping for more!] We'll see what happens.

Chris and I ran some... errands... today and were talking of wedding ideas. I love when we are both excited about the details! I think I mentioned before that we are not doing the traditional table numbers. We are going to be naming the tables by street names. We decided to make the street signs the same shape/look as they would be in their "natural country." I don't know how to explain it. I guess you'll have to wait and see!!! :)

A few things we want to complete this month:

1. Initial meeting with florist (friend's sister-in-law)
2. Initial meeting with ceremony musician (cousin)
3. Finalize choice for DJ and place deposit
4. Organize wedding photos/ideas
5. Follow-up meeting with parents [to finalize guest lists]
6. Continue working my ass out to lose more weight!!
