Italian Suits

So Mr. Burnett and I went to Micheal's the other day. It's an upscale men's store in the crossroads that has been there for over 100 years! Woah! And might I say, it was awesome. The staff were REALLY knowledgeable and I think that's where we're going to buy Joe's suit. They have a really phenomenal deal where, at the end of the season, they give 20% off everything AND free tailoring. Joe tried on a few different Italian wool suits (and looked really handsome in them, of course.) Unfortunately, they were all either blue, grey, or black. Are brown suits tacky now? It may just be an out of season color maybe? Anyway we're waiting a few weeks for the spring collection to come in so we can take another gander. We're also thinking about getting a nice Stetson for him. Either way, things are shaping up to be classy!

We're also thinking about catering. Simple but manageable/ inexpensive: A pasta bar with different shapes of noodles, some fancy sauces, and meat options/ topping options with like a salad or something? What do you think? I think dressed up, it'll be really nice.

Well cheese and rice.

Hello! We're still here. Yes. I have since been hired and fired from a seasonal position. I joked with Joe about how we can just have kids NOW so I wont have to work. That's how this works... right?

Just kidding.


I've officially picked out bridesmaid dresses! Yay!!










Only they'll be pink. And I'm also thinking a ribbon sash with either a bow or something sparkly...


The house is coming along nicely, I'm utilizing this unemployment time to finish projects and begin refinishing the basement (by refinishing at this point I mean making it usable, and putting a small studio down there.

All in all I'm very optimistic about finding another job. I'm going to try and freelance and see how that goes, and we're starting a nice little nest egg for our wedding fund! Yay!

Things Joe and I have decided on with the wedding:
Bridesmaids, (I've asked mine already: Allison Spalter is MOH, Alexis and Sarah (my sisters) and Ila Medlin!) I hope they're as excited as I am!
Groomsmen (TBA. He hasn't asked them yet!)
Dresses for bridesmaids
Location
Officiant
Table decorations
Some decor


Things Joe and I are thinking about:

Writing our own vows
Bargain hunting for Invitations
Catering (suggestions are appreciated. It's a shame how limited Fairfield is!!)
Honeymoon (vital, I know)
Accommodations
Lighting
Everything else!!

Ah, yes. Life is good and all we can do is stay positive and forward-thinking!
