Planes, Trains and Automobiles

What a nightmare! I just have to share my troubled travels this week. Here is a rough break down...
Thursday: (Indy to cleveland via chicago)
4:25 a.m. leave for the airport
6:15 a.m. depart Indy (a little late)
6:15 a.m. (chicago time) land and sit on the runway for 15 minutes because luggage carts were in the way of the plane-yep, you heard me, how does that happen?
6:30 a.m. deplane and run to connecting
6:40 a.m. miss connecting flight to Cleveland, get put on a 7:50 flight
7:50 a.m. board new plane
8:40 a.m. deboard new plane due to mechanical problems
9:20 a.m. they declare our flght closed and attempt to put us on another plane
10:15 a.m. board the 2nd plane (actually 3rd of the day!) and take off!
12:30 p.m. (ohio time) finally LAND!

Friday: (one way cleveland to chicago)
1:00 p.m. arrive at airport
3:15 p.m. attempt to fly standby, don't get on the plane
6:46 p.m. my original flight departure time
7:10 p.m. the first delay of many. our pilot calls in sick-can they even do that?
9:50 p.m. we finally take off

Yes, that is 9 hours in the airport on friday.

Needless to say I was WAY late to get into Chicago and meet up with David, Matt & Jenny...but it felt so good to touch down at Midway and get into a car.

I am currently boycotting planes, airports and Cleveland.

This Can't Be True!

But it is...5 months until the wedding! I feel like I just wrote the 6 month countdown post...boy how time flies. As I think back on the 6 month milestone, I am not sure that we have made that much progress in the past month. But here is what is going on in our wedding world. I have narrowed down the wedding invites to 4 choices and am simply waiting on a sample, we have ordered the bridesmaid dresses, registered fully at 1 location and even gone band shopping for David. We actually might finish that today-yeah!

And how could I forget!! The "king of the ring" and little miss flower girl have their outfits-and they are adorable!! If you follow my sister's blog too, you know it will be very interesting!! Watch out on the dance floor, Jack is sure to take over :) Now I am just worried they might steal our thunder...they are too darn cute!

We are lucky that time flies because the wedding will be here before we know it. But, it can't go by too fast...there is still lots to do!!

The best part is visiting Bloomington during this process!! We get to go on Sunday and then again on Feb. 28th!

Dishes and Gadgets and Gizmo's oh my!

David and I had a great time on Sunday registering at Crate & Barrel. They do these neat wedding events where you get to go in before the store opens, drink mimosas & coffee and eat goodies then go on your way to scanner heaven! You can take your time and there are so many people to help you, its great. We highly recommend doing this if you are going to register there! We went with Matt & Jenny and then did breakfast afterwards-thanks guys for a fun morning!

I will say I have the best fiance for putting up with my LOVE of green. Most of you know it as a sickness, but either way, it must be growing on him :) C&B has lots of green right now so I was in heaven!

Now onto Macy's sometime soon...this is way more fun that we thought it would be!

I will share one of my favorite items:

The cutest charger EVER! It will look so great with white dishes and fun linens...I just can't help it!

The Next Big Thing

A new year, a new job! Starting on Feb. 19, I will be a campaign coordinator for special events at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!

I will be working on their black tie event, the Diamond Ball, and the Greater Lafayette Area Light the Night walk.

I am so excited! I knew that the right job was out there if I continued to look and although there was more time between IDI and this than I imagined, it all worked out!

Thank you to everyone who helped me in my job search!
