Randy got a telephone call from his best man at 1:30 a.m. – from the emergency room.
It seems Jamie broke his ankle kicking a heavy bag last night. Eek! After Randy asked if he was okay, he said, “Guess you didn’t have enough beer in you, huh?”
Only men. Haha!
He didn’t know the extent of the break or how long he’d be in a cast, but he’s supposed to let Randy know today.
I’m sure you had (or have) one.
Mine just happens to be the living room.
Randy and I rent a small house with a total of five rooms – including the bathroom. Trust me when I tell you it’s nothing fancy (it’s very old and could stand a face lift); however, it serves its purpose. So many other people in this world don’t have somewhere to call “home,” so we’re quite fortunate.
Behold, Wedding Central:
That would be my bridal shower and wedding dresses hanging in the doorway. You also see two large storage containers with various items.
In this picture, you can see some wrapped presents, and several boxes full of other random stuff (cardbox, jewelry, flower girl gifts, etc.). And one lonely plant. Haha! But, do you see that box all the way to the right? This one:
Organizing it was my midnight task Saturday while hyper on caffeine. It contains the beginnings of our guest boxes (separated by singles and couples), our stamps, invitations, recipe cards, table numbers and thank you stickers. All sections are separated by the flaps of cardboard boxes that were laying around the house.
I knew if I didn’t organize now – while the piles are manageable (HA!) – I would get overwhelmed as it got closer to the day. 🙂
What did you do to stay organized?
The weather was yucky in Morgantown today and I was feeling lazy, so I decided to accomplish a wedding task that required me to sit on the couch with the laptop. 🙂
As I mentioned before, we’re going to have very few out-of-town guests who actually spend the night. However, I want to create guest boxes for those who do. I plan on including some snacks, informational brochures, easily forgotten items (toothpaste, Tylenol, etc.), WVU souvenir, bottles of water, and the above newsletter.
I tried to be a skilled designer and create the document in Adobe InDesign, but that was a big fat FAIL. Google, practice and lots of patience taught me a lot about Photoshop over the years, but I wasn’t in the learning mood today. I abandoned the advanced program and went back to the trusty Microsoft Word. The newsletter isn’t flashy by any means, but it will serve its purpose.
I included a note from us, history of Morgantown, several pictures, and important information. I also suggested things to do, places to eat and bars to visit. Hopefully people will be able to put it to good use!
