Bustin a Move




Today, my dad and I went to a dance lesson in Topeka. We thought it was a good idea to refresh our dances moves before the big day! It was so much fun! We just laughed and laughed! We had a great instructor to help us too, which is always a plus! I believe we are going to do the lesson one more time before D Day!! My dad was a great sport! Im so lucky to have such a fun, amazing dad!

Update

We have sent out our invitations and check the mail daily to see who is attending our wedding. We are anxious to see who will be there to celebrate the big day with us! We can't believe in just 4 short weeks that the day will be here! We have gotten a lot done this week...I had my first dress fitting, trial run on my makeup. We also picked out our wedding bands and got our marriage license...things seem to be coming together just great and surprisingly smooth!

Mr and Mrs Betty Crocker


So, As most of you know..B and I love Chocolate! We decided to try out our baking skills Sunday to make our very own barefoot contessa chocolate cake we had received as an engagement gift! With the items we had already received from the shower, we had everything to pull it off. It was definitely a team effort! The cake turned out perfect especially with the chocolate butter cream frosting we put on to top it all off! It was very yummy!! Our bellies thank mama ruth for the great gift!

Little Apple Trip!

This weekend we headed down to manhappy ville to do more wedding details. We booked our ceremony music which will be a brass ensemble, they sounded great! We had a meeting with our pastor to go over the ceremony. Then, we booked our wedding cake designer, this has been Brian's favorite part by far! Any of you that know B, know that he wouldn't miss a chance to eat cake for the world! He definitely got his fill...eating his and also helping with mine! haha. Even though we weren't in manhattan very long and had lots to do, we did find time to relax and play with the muts. Lets just say they had a good weekend too..they haven't moved all day from their beds, typically sunday at the abbott household!

Painting!

Not only are we getting things checked off the list for the wedding, but we are also checkin things off the list for our house. On Memorial Day we woke up and decided..."hey, lets the paint the 2 bedrooms downstairs!" So we did the whole home depot trip to pick out paint colors, got the rollers, paint brushes, etc...That afternoon was dedicated to re-decorating our basement. It actually looks pretty good! I'm very happy with it!
