Since we have not decided on a venue yet I figured I could post some of the ideas I'm working on. We (or shall I say I) decided on a theme and Justin is fine with it. I wanted something that could represent us, be a little whimsical but yet have a meaning and I found that with.......

Love Birds

I had seen a real wedding on the knot that had similiar birds and since I couldn't get those a very kind graphic designer created them for me. I love them.

Here is a sneak peak of them, you actually have already seen them, you just don't realize it. {points up to blog header & giggles} I created a little label that I may or may not use but I do think it turned out cute.

for a venue.

The places we visited over the weekend did not make the cut, we're still searching. I'm back to square one. I'm going back through my potential list, making more calls and setting up more appointments for this weekend. We have given ourselves two weeks from yesterday to make a decision. Keep your fingers crossed that we can find the perfect place.

This is our weekend without the kids so what are we going to do? All things wedding related....

Yes I know it's V-day but I highly doubt we will be doing to much but dinner and a movie so that leaves plenty of time for planning.

Tonight he might be working a little late and then needs to go get haircut, so after the kids leave it will be me and me only. I've got some more ideas to jot down, a few things to research and some sites I've got book marked to look through.

Saturday we have two more venues to look at. Hopefully soon we can nail this venue part down and move on. I am so ready to begin the process since there is so much I want to make but I feel wierd starting early.

Oh an it's a 3 day weekend for me!! Plus my best friend is moving back to Houston this Sunday...this weekend will be great!

No worries though I am a super being that can handle the tasks at hand, well in this case a super squirrel.

So now I have a new Planning Bio, this is where the quick info regarding the planning of my wedding will be put. All the details and ideas I am coming up with will be posted there, so it's a work in progress, you'll have to check it often.

So I'm sure you are asking, why have this blog in addition to a planning bio? Well, I really don't want to put each and every detail on the planning bio, I just want to show examples and ideas and then here on the blog is where I will go into details about where I found ideas or how I did this or that, the blog will have way more detail then the Planning Bio.

Then after the wedding I really would like to print the blog and planning bio into a keepsake for myself.

So you can either visit the link above that says Planning Bio or you can click here to go straight to it.

I'll be updating this blog much more in the days to come, I'm gathering plenty of ideas and really want to stary showcasing them here. I've just been so hesitant because we haven't booked the venue yet and I feel like I'm putting the cart before the horse. However I think I would rather find a venue that fits well with my theme versus a theme that fits well with my venue, so I got the theme now I just need the venue.

More on the theme to come soon!
