It seems like the days are just flying by right now. Between school, work, and wedding plans there just don't seem to be enough hours in the day. To make sure that John and I stay in touch with our families, we have designated different nights of the week to different family members. Monday night is dinner with John's mom and family, Wednesday night is dinner with John's dad and family, and Saturday is spent with my family. What with my night classes and John's day classes, if it weren't for these weekly dinners, we would never get to see anyone and we would probably be very hungry. And just to make sure that John and I have some time alone, he and I have set aside Friday nights as our date night.
As you can see, we are extremely busy! Luckily, we just got our wedding invitations in yesterday so we have a while to work on them before we have to send them out. The invitations turned out beautifully, even better than I expected. Unfortunately, the ribbon that looks so great in the pictures, that I thought came pre-tied, is actually something that I have to do. And you would think that because it came with directions it would be really easy. Well you would be wrong. The directions tell you how to get the ribbon lined up evenly but the part that would actually be nice to have directions on is the part that it skips over. It very casually says just to tie a bow once you have the ribbon in place and expects that you can do this. Well, they just don't know who they are talking to because when I tried to tie a bow, it ended up sideways and looked nothing like the picture! Thank goodness for my mom who showed me how to do it right! Obviously, I have only done 1 so far because that one took me 15 minutes to do. Only 124 more to go...
