Good News/Bad News

Such an eventful day.

First and foremost:

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY RUSTY AND ONAWA!!

Onawa, the lovely lady behind the save-the-dates and the soon-to-be invites, married Mr. Rusty ten years ago today, and wouldn't you know it, they're not only the coolest married people I know, but they've been awesome Christian role models to Tay and I. LOVE YOU BOTH!

Good news:

I now have 25 mason jar lanterns "in the can" as they say in showbiz (they say that, right?). Take a look:

Yay! Only countless dozens to go!

Also good news:

I got the gravel colored envelopes for the invites today, and they are b-e-a-utiful! However, this brings me to the bad news-

Bad News:

I JUST SPENT AN UNGODLY AMOUNT OF MONEY ON POCKET-ENVELOPES.

A little back story.

I had originally purchased the lovely "pool" blue pocket envelopes from Paper source at half the cost of other retailers. Little did I know this was because they were EXTREMELY back ordered. They might not even exist anymore. Thank you very much, Mr. Paper-source. So, I got on the horn with a very nice lady who helped me go through all the A7 linear enclosures and pick out one with in a color appropriate for the invites. Sadly all of those on sale were back ordered (thus the sale). In summation: I just dropped over $200 on paper. PAPER.

I'm still getting used to this whole "weddings cost money" thing. Pair that with spending someone else's hard earned moolah and badda-bing, shopping induced guilt. Les sigh. BUT, these invites will look great, better even with the new color "moss" enclosures, which aren't even advertised on the site, but were made known to me on the phone. Silver lining. Also, I tend to forget that no matter how much money I spend on invites....I still get to marry the English Major of my dreams.

Looking forward to our tenth anniversary-
