The year is here! 2012!!!

So here we go!  2012 is here and Jason and I had the opportunity to bring in the New Year together in Myrtle Beach thanks to my wonderful sister and brother-in-law who generously gave us a night at their timeshare.  We had a wonderful time and found it very excited that this was the last time we would ring in the New Year without sharing the same last name.  :-)

We have made more progress with planning as well!

My sister, Mom and I went to A Carolina Wedding and had a blast trying on about 20 different bridesmaids dresses that were about 6 sizes to small!  :-)  However, we found three dresses that we all loved! I am excited to have similar, but different style dresses.

We just committed to a caterer today which is a HUGE stress relief!  Jason spoke with a nurse friend of his who said that she heard Sweet & Savory did similar catering to Pine Valley Market which we loved.  Sweet and Savory is delicious, so we gave it a shot and WOW were we surprised about the price.  Cheaper, menu sounds delicious, and the caterer was just as personable.  Sold!  We asked for a contract today.

We got to see our DJ in action December 17th at Beth's graduation party...which also happened to be at the marina where we will be married.  We loved him!  I contacted him soon after and we are good to go!  PS- be ready for a few hours of karaoke on Friday at the rehearsal!!!

We blocked off rooms at the Best Western Plus in Wilmington. They hotel is nice, close to the beach, and close to the marina.  Rooms are $119 a night and under Underwood/Roy Wedding.  :-) http://bestwesternnorthcarolina.com/hotels/best-western-plus-wilmington-inn

Nicole and I will be meeting with a florist hopefully next week and that is the LAST vendor!!!  Yeah!!!  Unless of course we get a videographer...which we do both want, but we were waiting to get all the other costs first to see if we could afford it.  Fingers crossed!

On the future home-front, we are working to prepare Jason's house to go on the market.  In a perfect world it would sell quickly so that we can buy one of these amazing homes that we've been browsing...however...we are realistic in that it could take much, much, much longer in this market.  Whatever is supposed to happen will happen...we are just excited that we will be sharing a home a few short months!

205 days to go!!!
