Wedding week is here!

So, I get married on Saturday!! How crazy is that! I'm pretty excited though! The week officially started yesterday! The weekend was some what relaxing. I did quite a bit of shopping for wedding stuff and gifts. Yesterday I went shopping with my friend Sheryl and we stopped by American Signature...just to "look." Well...since we are moving next week and we don't have a dining room table now...we "looked" at those. SK and I had talked about getting a counter-height dining room table because Jackjack is a counter surfer. Yes, I know that he will still be able to jump up onto this but I'm hoping that it will at least be better than if it was at his nose level. :) And so we came across this:


Yes, isn't it beautiful! It's a counter-height I think Cherry wood table with granite inlays! We looked and they were selling the floor model for cheap!!! It has a couple scratches on the corner of the wood where the leaf is but otherwise it's perfect!!! I didn't have SK with me so I took a picture and showed him last night! He liked it and said I should get it.

So, I called today and they still had it. I ran over during lunch and bought it. Since I told them my being a bride this weekend story and that we are moving next week and have NO room for it, they said it would be ok to store and let us pick up next Tuesday! PERFECT!! So...we have our very own dining room table!! It's the first one I've ever bought and I'm excited we got such a great price!!!

When I went by today I took a picture of it without the leaf!! It's so pretty!!! The leaf folds down inside the table so there is no need to store it!We'll probably buy some stools or chairs for it next week when we pick it up. They weren't on sale so no rush on those! So...more things taken care of!!

My dad came in today so I'm really excited to see him! I miss him and am so glad he's here. I'm getting ready to head to meet up with my sister CZbrats so we can go buy the wine, sangria, sodas, water, and etc at Sam's Club! I'm just hoping we get enough so we don't run out. :) That's the goal. I know quite a few drinkers coming to my wedding so don't want to get them drunk but don't want to disappoint them either. SK is taking care of the beer so don't have to think about that.

Well...I work tomorrow until noon and then I'm off until next tuesday! I'm so ready! I have so much to do this week but am trying to stick with my mantra.."One Task/Day at a time!"

For some knitting news, I cast on yesterday for my Cubbie Wedding Socks. I'll take pictures tonight. They are knitting up nicely and I forgot how fast and fun socks were to knit!! I'm past the 1 in cuff on the first sock!

Ok...well...hope everyone is doing well! Keep in touch and hope you are having a great week!!
