Wedding Dance & Save the Dates!

So much excitement to share! I know it's been awhile since I checked in, but there has been a lot going on!

Wedding Dance

So, as I have forgotten to tell you, multiple times, Josh and I have been taking ballroom dance classes through Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Chandler. It has been a WONDERFUL experience! What started out as a birthday Groupon, ended up becoming five private lessons with their wedding specialist, Bo (he's amazing! We love him!) We've learned the waltz, rumba, swing, and foxtrot, and I have to say, we've gotten pretty good! We can do turns and everything! Bo even choreographed our wedding song! It is amazing! We love it! We are so excited for you all to see it, but of course, we can't tell you what it is because we want it to be a surprise. :D <3 

Save the Dates

We finally finished our final photo shoot at the beginning of the month, got our pictures back, and created our Save the Dates! We have ordered them, they should be coming in soon, along with a return address stamp (that seems to be taking forever), and we just need to finish compiling our guest list and get some Save the Dates out! If you receive a Save the Date, if you would please RSVP (whether you can go, or cannot go), that would be great. You see, I've finally started to look into the cost of actual invitations, and (unless you yourself have purchased, or even looked into the cost of wedding invitations), you would be amazed at how much those suckers cost. Our Save the Dates are so cute though, I am so sure you all will love them! We will even have a STD packing party! (lol) Which brings me to my next topic! 

House guest! 

On Sunday, my cousin Nadia called me and told me she needed a place to stay for a few weeks, so we told her to come on down (she was coming all the way from CA!) She got a really great job right away and has been doing really well! It's been so great to spend time with her, doing girl-stuff. <3 We have also started working on her Princess In Waiting dress, and it's coming along nicely! :) Lots of work, but it will be worth it. On Saturday, she and I went out with Gage, Josh & I's friend and one of his groomsmen, to go sing karaoke at Fuller's. I sang Belle, from B&TB. I must say, it was not my most shining karaoke moment, but it was fun none the less. 

Surprise Trip

My sister and POH (Princess of Honor) Julie is in Germany for the year and she had a big trip planned for someone to go visit her, however it didn't end up working out with the person. She didn't want it to go to waste, so she invited me to go! I didn't think it would be possible, because of school, but amazingly, everything seemed to just line up! I was able to make arrangements with school, and work, and with my service learning, and it's actually happening! I'm going to Germany, taking a 12 hour bus ride with my sister to Italy, and then going on a week long cruise! I don't know much about the cruise, but I know it goes to Croatia, and it stops at the site where they film the King's Landing scenes in GOT!!! I got so excited when I heard this! I feel like I should make myself a Cersei Lannister dress, and get all Cersei'd out for when we get there and take pictures so that everyone on FB can be jelly. (Ha) Who knows if I will have the time for this though. In order to make the trip work, I'm super cramming with homework! I have a half-semester class that ends in the middle of the trip, so I really have to get to work to get this all done! It would be cool if that did happen though. I am so excited, I really can't believe this is happening! 

So much excitement in the future!
