April 2009 Archives

We got through the first two speed bumps we have had this week.

1. We got our replacement invitations in and they look great.

2. The ring fits and looks great. They had to make some small changed to both rings but its hardly noticeable and when they are mated together they look AWESOME! Very happy now.

In other news we found a new place to start our married life in. Its a three bedroom just down the road and is easily twice the amount of space we have not for just a little more than we are paying currently. So now we will have a spare bedroom and a separate office for me. Plus Meili will have a backyard with a nice grassy spot for her to sit and soak up the sun. I'm really excited since it feels like we are starting everything new in October when we get back from the honeymoon.

Our invitations came in last week. They looked great...at first glance. After reading them, Alan noticed that our beautiful invites said "...Amanda Marie Widmer vand Alan Ray Hawkins, Jr." AWESOME! A quick email to the stationary company, and our order was reprinted. The corrected invites should be here on Friday.

Also, my wedding ring came in after weeks of uncertainty. It is beautiful as well, but doesn't even remotely fit with the engagement ring. Again...AWESOME!! The jeweler has the ring now, hopefully working miracles. We're supposed to pick it up on Thursday. I believe Alan is going into Robbins Brothers tomorrow to check on that.

Some good news is that our bridal store called. The bridesmaid dresses are officially ordered with an expected delivery date of July 17th.

Alan and I ordered a cake topper last night. I didn't want a cake topper originally, but now that we have the safari cake, we bought an indigenous carving for the topper. Unfortunately, it's Indonesian, not African. The shortest African carving we could find was 11-13 inches tall. The Indonesian one we found is 8 inches tall. There's wild animals in Indonesia too.
