invitations...

It's finally time to send them out!! We've had them for about 3 weeks now & we have been very busy assembling them with our team :) It was soo exciting to go pick them up from the printer!! We had approved all the proofs but to actually have them, all of them, sitting on our dining room table, was like wow! I was so excited that Drew really loved them! We both decided it was exciting & scary all at the same time because invitations means it's really happening, like soon!! The first step for me & Drew was addressing all the invites. He started w/ GW, me w/ Sinton & who ever got done first (me, of course) got to start with our friend list. This part was not all that exciting & I realized very quickly that Drew has better handwriting than me. Not cool & kinda annoying! He's a boy! ugh...! Bobbi & Roy were the first to offer their help. The job that night was gluing. Lots of gluing. We really had a good time & their help came cheap! All I had to do was make dinner :) Bobbi even taught Astro how to use the doggie door. Sort of. He's apparently not that bright & it took a long time!! He still refuses to use it if anyone is watching or in the room but he's trying. The next night it was Tiffany's turn. While the boys moved in the washer & dryer we got to tie bows & do what we do best, gossip. Unfortunately, or luckily for Tiffany, we only had 5 spools of ribbon so that was only enough for 75 invitations. Lots more to go!! Due to some bad events in Bryan, the next week I spent two nights at Leanne's, where lucky for her, I had gotten more ribbon. We were able to finish the last step of the assembly of almost all the invitations!! This week is crunch time. We want them to go out Friday. To achieve that, we have to get all the last minute address corrections, stuff, seal & stamp them! Drew has decided he likes to seal. So the last two nights it's been a little assembly line, I stuff, he seals. Tonight is the night they all get completed!! (I hope) By Friday night, I will be excited that they are on their way to our family & friends & he will be excited that we got our table back & that some of "my" mess is gone. A huge thank you to everyone who helped out in our invitation process! I love you all! And to Drew, you have been amazing help even though this is NOT the "fun part". I really hope you all love our invitations & send in those RSVPs! now :)
