I'm going to work on updating my previous posts with photos. I haven't taken photos of the invitations but I have a bunch of extras that I can do a step-by-step photo tutorial maybe. I'll include a few wedding pics that I have as well.
Other than that, I am switching gears a bit. This blog was all about our wedding. I want to migrate into the homemaker/crafter/nester/whatever. I will keep this blog for any interested readers out there.
My "new" blog is https://triple-dot-designs.blogspot.com/ and will feature my journey and struggles and triumphs in my creative processes... Welcome!

Job Update and Christmas Plans
So I have been doing well. Just really busy. It seems like we thought after we got married, life would slow down a bit but it's turned out that we are either busier or about the same amount of busy as before we got married (minus the wedding planning - which, oddly, I miss doing).
I did well at that Craft Fair back in November. Made some spending money and got a couple orders for more things. It's kind of exciting :)
Jeremy is doing well. He is working in town now (Yay!) for Jim's Electric. He's finding it challenging because there's a lot of jobs that require him to work on things that he's never done before and because Jim's is so busy, Jeremy is working by himself quite a bit and isn't able to always ask for help or advice.
It's good though. He appreciates the blessing of having a job where he's home every night (I do too!) and he's enjoying the lack of fast food for supper.
I'm still working at the retirement home 4 days a week and then on Friday's, I either travel to Tilley and work at the shop for Dad. If the roads are bad or if plans change, I am able to work at home using a program that connects my computer at work to my laptop. It works great and it saves gas :)
Christmas this year I think will work out pretty good. On the 22nd, we are going to Jeremy's parents' house and having Christmas with his family (that's when everyone could be there this year).
Christmas Eve is going to be our traditional Fondue Party with Aunt Lene and Mike at Mom and Dad's house in Tilley. I love it because it's not a heavy meal and you don't feel gross afterwards. We bring out fondue pots, raclettes and small grills and we make steak, chicken, shrimp, and then we have different kinds of vegetables, seasonings, etc. And for dessert, we do chocolate and fruit. It's a really good way to not overeat over the holidays because while you wait for your food to cook, your food settles and your body registers that you're full faster than if you're stuffing your face with turkey, potatoes, stuffing, sweet potatoes, etc.
For Christmas Day, there's going to be a large "Wester" gathering. My mom is thinking of renting out the Community Hall. That way, they have the large kitchen to work with, plenty of space for everyone to go, etc. It should be good. This is our first Christmas as a married couple!
Anyway, since it's Friday, I have to get to working on the Wester's Website.
Until next time!!

Marriage/Life Mini-Update
So things have been good since the wedding day. Jeremy had been working out of town since before the wedding. Well, we were blessed with the good news that he has been hired on where his brother works, Jim's Electric, here in Medicine Hat so he'll be home every night starting mid-November. We're both really excited and glad that he won't be away so much.
I am still at my same job as a receptionist at a retirement home and it's been going well... things are a bit tense in some situations but I think I'm handling it as best I can.
Anyway, I'm going into this Craft Fair my sister is hosting in Tilley. I am making a bunch of crafts and stuff. I'll have to post about that at some point too... stay tuned :)

We're Back!
So the wedding - as far as I know - went great. We all had a great time. The ceremony was great, pictures went awesome, the reception and food and program turned out well and everyone has had nothing but complements for us. We had an amazing day. I just think it went by too fast.
Well, now I'll be working on uploading pictures to all the posts. Stay tuned and remember to keep checking back for them!

In the Home Stretch
So life has been crazy. We just got back from Summerland from a family reunion this past weekend. The weekend before was a Bible School reunion. The week before that was a wedding in Waldheim. This coming weekend I'm hoping to not do anything so that I can wind down a bit.
So far, this week is already ridiculous. I have to finish payroll for work, have a church Bridal Shower, meet with our Pastor, work on favours, centerpieces, prepare for people to see our condo, seating plan, and more.
Now, I'm working on finding some things I put away and need to get. I'm going to go through my lists as well and email the bridal party and MC's the info that I have too.
Here I go.....

Coming Down To It
Well, it's less than 3 weeks to the wedding and it's getting real. I am doing up some little things - finishing touches - and I'm thinking more and more about the logistics for things and other little things that have to get done. I think I'm getting there, I just wish that I had more time to do some things. Next weekend is full. We're having a Putici family reunion in Summerland so that weekend is a write-off and the next weekend is the last weekend before the wedding so it's going to be a frantic finishing up of all other details.
I just wish that Jeremy was home. He would be such a comfort that no one else could be. I'm glad that he is able to come back home for the family reunion.
Well, back to wedding stuff, I am just working on putting together some activity baskets for the kids at the reception. I don't think there are going to be too many kids but it'll be good to have just in case.
I do have a few other things that I want to do ahead of time so I am going to be working on those things this week as much as I can.
Talk to you all later!

Wedding Bands
Did I mention that I got our wedding bands? I will post pictures afterwards but I have been carrying them around in my purse since the beginning of July. I'm so impressed. They look amazing.
Jeremy wasn't able to pick his out because he was away for work but we had gone through some jewelry stores ahead of time and he showed me what he liked. I had gone in to pick our rings at the beginning of June and I got the call that they had come in on July 5th.
I went to pick them up on the 6th and I was so excited. I love how they turned out and I can't wait to wear mine forever.
Stay tuned readers!
