Valentine Cast

Yesterday was such a fantastic day that I had to blog about it. I have been getting more and more exciting about the wedding. I can’t believe I’ll be married in six days! I am so excited about it!

So yesterday was FULL of wedding stuff.

Dropped off our programs to be printed
We paid and talked to photographer for the final time.
Got engagement ring cleaned.
Paid and talked to caterer for the last time.
Talked to the cinnabon people mmmmm cinnabons.
I experimented with my makeup (fabulous if I must say so).
Did the leaves for the flower girl.
Tested out the Ustream for the wedding (which turned out great! If you don’t know about the Ustream for the wedding, be sure to send me a message! I love that people who aren’t close can participate!)

So after all that (which we got done by 4:00), it was time for our last official hot date as unmarried folk (J’s words). We had hummus and Shiraz salad at Shiraz Mediterranean Grill which was fabulous as always.

Then on to El Mundo’s to try that. It was ok but we’ll be back to try that quesadilla and burrito that the couple next to us had! They had a self service area and a table seating area. Of course the laid back people that we are, we ate at the self service area which was hilarious. Water out of a water cooler and grab your own forks and napkins. Let me say this, their margaritas are not for the faint of heart. More like sweet and sour flavored tequila. And I know my margaritas!

So after that, we went to the double feature at the Baxter Theater. First up: The Muppet Movie! I never knew that I would enjoy that movie so much as an adult. The jokes were just as snappy and catchy that I remember and I even laughed at parts I wouldn’t have as a kid. And what made it even more epic, the theater served frog legs before the show. Poor Kermit!

Then intermission (in which they bought Spinelli’s pizza for all), then it was time for…(drum roll) Labyrinth! With David Bowie’s crotch! Seriously, I have never seen so many crotch shots of the man! I had never seen it but It fit right in with the times that it was made. J told me it tanked at the box office which is so funny since it’s now a cult favorite. We were Hoggled J!

So it was a great night and the best last date as unmarried folk I have ever had (and my only one also!)

I hope after the wedding business dies down I can go back to my regularly scheduled posts. If I don’t post before Saturday, next time I talk to you I’ll be Mrs. Valentine! Yay!

Me: Let’s go get our marriage license today (since I’ve been procrastinating.)

Him: Sure! I’ll meet you there.

Me (standing in front of closed sign at Fiscal Court): I forgot government offices are closed on Veteran’s Day.

Him: *laughs and gives me a big hug*

We are officially going to be awesome together lol.

Discussing how many bottles of sparkling cider we need for the wedding.

Me: Yea, so we have about 9 tables so about 12 bottles should be good. I need to get flutes for everybody.

Him: and garland to put around them

Me: garland?

Him: Yeah. And we should design each flute.

Me: …

Him: with glue and glitter

Me: Ass

Him: Put everyone’s name on it. ^^

Me: /flips the bird

So I can be a little detailed oriented. :p Sue me!

Received a text from J today:

“Renee no puedo esperar a ser su marido. Te quiero!”

My spanish a bit rusty so I had to translate the first part.

Me:
lol you sent me something in spanich
hmmmm
I know the last part is that you want, I have to translate the other part

J:
lol
i like spinach too
😉

Translated it’s:
I can’t wait to be your husband. I love you!

/sigh. I love that man. Only one more month! *cheer*

(Setting: Middle of the night. J and I are both asleep in bed.)

Me: (waking up immediately and saying loudly) OMG!!! WHAT DAY IS IT!!! IS IT THE NINTH!!!!

J: (waking up and thoroughly confused) No, it’s not the ninth.

Me: IT’S NOT! ARE YOU SURE!

J: (even more confused) No, the ninth is friday.

Me: (with immensely relief) Oh..good, I thought it was today and I missed my Dad’s birthday

(We both go back to sleep and laugh about it the next day. FYI: My dad’s birthday IS this coming friday.)

J: Contacts are just goggles for your eyeballs.

Me: /laughs

(Discussing various places for our pet to spend the night while we are out of town. And mentioning my sister’s dog Beckham in the convo.)

J: Petsmart can’t be all that bad. Beckham stays there.

Me: Yea.

J: Beck Ham. NOM NOM NOM.

Me: /facepalm lol. I’m going to tell Deidre that you are trying to eat her dog.

J: I wouldn’t say that to D. But I would eat him. He’s all plumpy.

Me: /guffaw

Ribs in the crockpot? Ahhhhh yea 😀 Good job babe. Just another one of J’s excellent creations. Can’t wait to go home and try them out!

So I had the brilliant idea of having an ice cream Sundae party because…well just because! J had been wanting one for awhile and every time we went to get one, wherever we got it from would fall off the mark just slightly. So I decided to take matters into my own hands.

We went and got some fixins…

From Ice Cream Sundae Party

Sundae #1, Apple Pie Sundae (apple pie, cinnamon apple topping, whipped cream)

From Ice Cream Sundae Party

Sundae #2, Renee’s Bomb Ass Surprise! (brownie, cookie dough, caramel, whipped cream)

So J and I spent a night with India and John last night. No, it wasn’t a personal night like we would have liked, but it was awesome nevertheless.

It wasn’t hot, it didn’t rain and India sang beautifully.

John wasn’t too thuggish, he was dressed to the nines…and omg is that man short.

All in all, We danced, laughed, and had a great time.
