In a week I will finish my first coding class and start my second one, I am so looking forward to it, Then next semester I'll take medical billing, math, practical apps and one other course to finish up the program in May. Once I finish the program i will take my certification exam and hopeful get a job. For now I am going to focus on school and wedding planning

Wedding is coming together!

So it has been 2.5 months since i have given an update on the wedding. Since i last posted i have been dress shopping twice, to four different stores and tried on more dress then I can keep track of. I narrowed it down to 2 dresses after shopping on Thursday. Now after thinking about it for 2 days i have decided on which will be THE DRESS!!! I'm going to go back to the place to try it on again before i order it, but i found my dress. Its so beautiful, and I feel like a princess in it. No one will get to see what it looks like though until the wedding, i want it to be a surprise. I have also begun looking at bridesmaid dresses for the 4 lovely ladies that will join me up at the alter on my big day. I found some styles online that i liked, but they weren't as flattering as i thought they would be. But I did get some great ideas. My mom and I have been researching favor ideas. We seem to like clear heart shaped container that we would fill with m&ms or Jelly Bellies. Next on the agenda is invitations and registry, then after the new has begun we will focus on food, flowers, music, and finalize centerpiece ideas. In the spring Ryan will decided on tuxes and I'll work on the cake. Before I know it the big day will be here! I can't wait, I am so looking forward to becoming Mr. Ryan Mott.

Wedding Planning Update

So since the last time I posted about the wedding we have slowly be working on wedding stuff. We decided that we are going to do a beach theme. It made perfect sense, we both love the beach and it where we got engaged. So to go along with the beach theme our centerpieces are going to be short/fat candles on a tray surrounded by sand, shells and star fish. The table are going to be named after beaches in New York and Rhode Island (NY because its where are fathers are from). I am also thinking about getting leis for people to wear at the reception. We were thinking that for the favors we could get little sand pales and filling them with either M&M's or Jelly Belly's. We are really getting into wedding planning. In the next two months I will start shopping for my dress as well as my bridesmaids dresses. Once we get the girls dresses then we can decided on flowers. I am so excited, I am just over 9 months away from getting married to the man of my dreams.

What a great vaca

On Monday I returned home after spending 10 days with Ryan. It was a great vacation, Ryan arrived on Thus evening. Friday I spent by the pool while Ryan worked on his car. That evening we went to see Jeff Dunham at Mohegan Sun ( Ryan's uncle was awesome enough to get us tickets). We really enjoyed our night out, it was nice to spend time just the two of us. On Saturday we went to Ryan's cousin christening. It was so much fun, and i got to hold the baby! After the christening we went back to the house where Ryan's cousin Judith and our friends Katie and Jay came over to pick blueberries, have a cookout and go to the Washington County Fair. We had a blast. Sunday we went swimming and spent some quality time alone. Then in the evening we took the John H ferry from New London, Ct to Orient Point, NY. It was a beautiful night cruise.

We stayed in NY for 2 days, we went to the beach to get some sun. On our second day we went to East Hampton to check out Dylan's candy store, a place i saw on the food network. On wends we left new york and drove 8 hours to Frederick, MD. Ryan went back to work the following day. But still had time for fun over the following 4 days.

We have a place and date for the Wedding!

Ok, so i know in the previous post I said that i was having my wedding at The Tower in Narragansett on June 4th. But after looking at a few more places and comparing them my mom and I decided that the Towers just isn't the best place for the wedding. It was too expensive and their wasn't much space. Instead we have decided that we are going to have the wedding at Quidnessett Country Club (pictured below) on June 19th, 2010! I am so excited, the place is beautiful and as a great view of Narragansett Bay. 

It feel so good to finally have a place for wedding, now i can start really planning. I have decided that i would like to do a beach theme for my wedding. Ryan and I got engaged at the beach and it one of our favorite places. I have already found a centerpiece i love. If only trimming the guest list was as easy as finding a centerpiece, i be so happy!
