Why do weekends go so fast? I feel like I barely left work on friday and now here I am back.
This weekend we didn't do much exciting. Got dinner on friday, ran errands on saturday and sunday, went out for drinks with dana and josh saturday night. We did buy a new tv which is very exciting. Our house has a cutout above the fireplace for the tv (dumbest idea ever if you ask me) and it's so small that we had been using my old 20". Craig complains all the time because he can't see it. So this weekend we bought a new 40" s@amsung which we can mount above the fireplace with a little engineering to put some beams across the cutout. It is exciting but took FOREVER to go between the couple of stores we were looking at. For now we have it set up on my old coffee table and Craig is very excited.
Sorry, there isn't any pictures online of the place we are getting married. It's at a golf course and the ceremony is at an outdoor gazebo that looks over a lake and then the reception is inside the clubhouse with an outdoor patio. So everyone must pray for good weather on sept 19! It's a risk to count on no rain in seattle but people say september usually has good weather so we will hope. My dress is going to remain a secret but here is the bridesmaid dress that I am leaning towards.(looks like my work computer won't let me post it so I will try to do it laster from home) It is a tea-length halter, chocolate brown with a fuscia accent.

update
I have a headache. I don't want to be here, I want to go home and climb into my bed. But since I'm stuck at work with no patient I might as well give you something to read. :)
I've been busy working, wedding planning, and painting the house.
We are almost done painting the downstairs with just the kitchen and possibly the entryway left. Why is it taking so long you ask? Because Craig is the world's WORST painter. I don't get what he does but it comes out all streaky. So he tries to help and it ends up making more work for me because then I have to give it yet another coat. And since the blue tape sucks I need to touch up along the base boards and straighten my wobbly line along the ceiling. We have quite the colorful downstairs with a burnt orange family room, mustard yellow bathroom, a purplish grayish blueish living/dining room, and a grey and crimson office. We are going to do the kitchen a mocha color and maybe the entry way a chocolate brown. I think it looks great, especially since I hate white walls from living in apartments for so many years now.
Wedding planning is going fine, I'm just sick of it consuming all my time and the lack of help I get. I have a ceremony/reception site booked, my dress ordered, bridesmaid dresses down to 2 picks, dj and photographer booked, and meeting with a florist tomorrow. Now for all the not fun stuff like centerpieces, invites, favors, programs, etc. yuck!
Otherwise I am fairly lame. Had a friend's b-day party last weekend. This weekend Craig's cousin and his wife are coming to visit and I think we are going to drag them bowling with some of our other friends. I don't quite understand how when he lived alone for the past 5 years not a one of them came up here but now that we bought a house they can't seem to get enough.
