Wedding Check List: Church and Hotel

DONE!!!!!


DONE!!!! I got the reception hall contract finished! Yay... I had the wedding cordinator put everything in the contract down to the tiniest detail, thanks to my awesome maid of honor, so I wont get screwed. That is one of the biggest things to get done. I am going to pay the deposit tommorrow! YAY!!! I also reserved the church with a deposit.
So if you couldnt guess the date has been set for November 22, 2008, and this time I cannot change my mind since the church and hotel have been booked~ Zac said he is proud that I have gotten so much done already. I am trying to get as much done as soon as possible so I do not tuen into a BRIDEZILLA! LMAO. Guess all those wedding shows paid off~~~
Well that is it for now!!

The planning begins

So today I really started hitting the wedding planning hard. I think I have hamered out a budget. I called a few hotels for the reception, and I am going to go look at one on Thursday. We are shooting for the end of the year 2008. I know. I know. I changed the date again, well, after going to a wedding in the summer this year I decided that winter was the best choice for a wedding in Texas. Once I have the church and hotel booked I will make sure I send everyone save the date cards. I know I have found teh chruch where we want the wedding hands down. It is a church in Irving. Zac and I attended our friends, Matt, wedding this weekend there and I was so amazed at how gorgeous the ceremony was, i decided that was the place. It is a hsitoric church with gorgeous stained glass windows and such a beautiful sanctuary, it made me cry!!! I cant wait!!! Let the crazyness begin!!!

Its a Monday

Well as you can tell its a Monday!!! Cold, Rainy, and blah is what seems to run through my mind. As most of you know from my previous blog, I fell last Friday, and my shoulder is still killing me. I go to the doctor on this Friday for a follow up on my blood work, so I will have her look at it then. Lord only knows what I most likely did.... I am so so clumsy sometimes I amaze myself. Any who that is all I have for now, better get back wo work...

Clutzy is as Clutzy does

So as you can tell from the title I am a total clutz to say the least. Well last night while I was attempting to walk up the stairs at our apartments, I slipped on the wet concrete and totally busted ass....My blackjack went flying and I attempted to catch myself. In the process I sliced my big toe open, fell on my bad knee which is now black and blue and scraped, shredded my left palm, and totally jacked up my left shoulder! I have the worse luck when it come to hurting myself. Sometimes I wonder if God left that little part of my common sense out! LOL....

On another note, my PaPa is back in the hospital and is not doing so hot. I know he is old and not able to heal as well as he has in the past so I know all I can do at this point is pray. My dad is trying to protect me and keep it from me how bad he is doing, which is sweet but I know to always be prepared for the worse. This morning they transferred him to CCU because his blood pressure dropped and his temp was going up. They now have him stable, which is a good thing, so thank god for that.

Any who that is what is going on right now in the life of the soon to be Mrs. Alston!!! Sorry to all who I haven't had time to keep in touch with on a regular basis, as you can tell things have been hectic. I promise I will try harder to make sure I keep up with everyone! Love ya'll!!

Long time, No Post!

So obviuosly I have not posted in a while! Sorry about that. Life has been so crazy. Well a small update to a major change, I bought a new car, a 2006 Chevy Malibu LT. I love it! It is so much more roomy than my last car and gets alot better gas milage. Best of all it is new. Zac and I went to Los Angeles this summer for my 21st birthday and vacation. While we were there he proposed on Santa Monica beach!!!! It was sooooo awesome. Not only that, it was friday the 13th. My ring is so so so gorgeous, simple but amazing. 1ct marquis cut diamond set in a simple white gold band.


Othen than that we are about to move from Las Colinas to the prestigous Valley Ranch, Home of the Dallas Cowboys!! Speaking of which they did horrible last game but I wont hold that against them, I still love em!
