i won't lie- these days i've been wanting to throw myself into oncoming traffic with the insanity of everything....but i have resisted mostly at the thought of leaving happy motherless
so a few quick updates! we are FINALLY in our new apt (well as of Jan 1) slowly we are buying new furniture and getting settled. there are still boxes everywhere, clothes strewn about, piles of messes here and there- it is driving me crazy every time i see it! my mattress is finally arriving this weekend and i will now get to sleep in a bed! we have a few short- term house guests with us (LiNK interns...haha) so until they move out, john feels we cannot fully unpack and get "settled." in the meantime, john lives downstairs with his friends (gene, aaron and sam), and i get the whole apt to myself (plus the intern, for now). happy likes the new place but he definitely doesn't like being home alone all day while we're at work...he let's us know that with the secret piece of poo he like's to put somewhere different every day. *sigh* maybe he really is stupid?
all in all- how come no one told us moving (starting from scratch) was SO MUCH WORK?? i ain't gonna lie- it's been hard to graduate from ikea..
so onto wedding things. you will be so proud to know that i have finally accomplished all of the major "to-do's" as of today (more or less....haha). on top of that, my mom now calls me at least once a day to talk about "wedding stuffs" and to stress me out. jowah jowah.
finally gots me a photographer!! her work is so beautiful and i'm super excited because she will be shooting the majority of the wedding in film rather than just digital!
wedding invitations: samples coming soon- i will post them as soon as i get them....but in the meantime i just thought i'd tell you that truly smitten is truly awesome! i'll share pictures from her wedding next time (her color scheme was black + yellow)....seriously beautiful wedding! cannot wait to see our invitations....
cake: liking these-
shoes: check out these badboys....i decided to return the other ones and go with these!
flowers: met a florist over the holidays and sat down with her for 15 minutes- she was able to work within my budget [cheap] so i booked her right away and told her i'd just email her pictures....hope it turns out ok (oops oops oops). how pretty are ranunculus, peonies and hydrangeas! i'm hoping to use these for the bouquets and centerpieces. keep it simple... like my life.
guys: go for gray (light or dark?) or just stick to the simple black?
that's all for now! it's crunchtime now so i'll likely update more frequently for my 1 reader (jane :P) haha
homework:
1) yellow dresses for bm's- where are you all hiding??
2) any tips on how to cut down the guestlist? (mama song decided to invite 100 people!)

i love ur color scheme! so cute!
for bmaid dresses there's always jcrew but i'm sure you've looked there already.
for tux, i would do dark grey rather than light grey. altho i like light grey, i think it tends to look weird on asian men. hahaha.
lastly, i don't know how you're going to cut down the guestlist except pray that some people will decline? hahaha...
oooohhhhhhhh u KNOWWWWWWW i approve of that photographer. as soon as i saw the words "majority" and "film" i was VERY happy. thats AWESOME! i wanna be her friend.
ok and the guys tux....dark grey! the light grey is so nice, but you know, dark grey, slimming. and it'll make you stand out more :)
