Happy Weekend!

It's finally Friday! For me, that means that tonight I will head out with my girls (the ones that couldn't make last week's party) and we will have some dinner and some a lot of drinks. Tomorrow will be a day of recovery and Sunday will be my Harry Potter themed shower. Yes, I am having a Harry Potter themed shower, and yes, I am super excited about it. Hope everyone has a good weekend and I will be back to post on Monday. Have a good weekend everyone!

Exhaused

This weekend was just that exhausting. Emotionally, physically, mentally, I feel a drained. We got a lot done, crafts, shopping, decisions, it was productive of course, but just kind of exhausing. Where to even start? I guess at the beginning, which as Friday night.

Friday night we decided to go shopping, usually a favorite activity of mine, it wasn't that much fun. We were looking for cardigans to go over my dress for my showers, an easy way to change the look (and save some money). We ended up getting some honeymoon clothes for Mr. Tal first before finding something for me. I also got some cute jammies on sale for the sleepover bachelorette this weekend.

Saturday morning and afternoon we ended up running around looking for groomsmens and bridesmaids gifts along with stuff for the kids bags, success. Saturday we ended up going out to dinner which was suppose to be our relxing time, but it wasn't so much. We ended up running around Toledo trying to find a place to eat where the wait wasn't 2 hours.

Finally, Sunday, was the mother of all craft days. My mom and sisters came up and we headed to Momma Tal's abode to work. Five hours and about 4 or 5 projects later, we returned, vicorious and exhaused. That exhaustion has stuck with me until today. Possibly also a result of the cold I am getting, goody.

Anyway, I will post the results of the weekend later this week. I am too tired to do it today.

Tune in next time for more tales from a DIY bride.

What to do?

This weekend is literally our last weekend of "freedom" until Easter. By freedom, I mean that Mr. Tal and I both have some sort of commitment every weekend from now until Easter, and I think that includes Easter. Oy. Don't get me wrong, it is all fun stuff, here's the list: next weekend is our (seperate) bachelor and bachelorette parties, the weekend after that is another bachelorette for those that can't make it to the first and a shower, the weekend after that is an engagement shoot with our new photographer, and the weekend after that is another shower. We are both  really excited about all of these activities. It's just when you have that much scheduled it makes you feel a little overwhelmed. Especially when there are a lot of projects and things to get done for the wedding. So what are a bride and groom to do? I guess I can only answer that question for us.

We decided to take this weekend and make it both work and fun. Today and tomorrow we are going to do something fun, we haven't decided what. Kalahari was thrown out there, which is an indoor water park that's about an hour away but I don't think it is decided, we both just want some alone together time before the weekend marathons begin. Then Sunday, my Mom and sister 'maids are going to go to Momma Tal's house to work our tails off on some wedding projects. I really hope we get a lot checked off the list and we get some project pictures so I have some DIY posts next week.

Anyone else have a boatload of weekend activities before the wedding?

Have a good weekend everyone, I'll be back on Monday to hopefully share some finished projects.
