Bridesmaids...and men...some of them

Hello....

Long time no chat right. Ok so if reading my short novel I just finished wasn't painful enough I will now make you look at my maids. Actually you'll probably skip over my last post and head for the pics. I tend to do that as well so I will forgive!

This would be blonde and spaz. Blonde is Lisa in the yellow( I know the blonde one right???) and Spaz is Sara ( oh and you guessed it...the brunette)



Egad!!! She is gonna kill me if she sees this!! Lovers you my Ashley!! This be my Maid o' Honor!!!!! Really she's normal....just like me!! : )

My little cousin Julia....juju bean as I call her!
Ok had to sneak these guys in here...this is AJ( in red) and Short Stub(aka Sean aka Vin Diesel) They are groomsmen

This would be my crazy brother who is also a groomsmen!!! Hi Adam!As if you didn't think my family was crazy enough...here is sister Ali who is a bridesmaid and then we have the flower girl Amanda...then Adam again!

Blllaaaahhhhh!!!

Seriously, where has the time gone! I am getting married in 22 days!! I am so excited I can hardley contain myself! I am ready for the day to be here already. I am really just excited to dissapear with Nick for 9 whole days in sunny Mexico! Not that I am not looking forward to the actual wedding, but I am one of those people that likes to handle thing myself and that isn't really a good thing when it comes to planning an event like this. It's not like people haven't been offering. I just don't ever ask for help unless it's from my mom, my aunt, or Nick. I don't have an explanation for that type of nonsense, it's just the way I am. I had a moment of weakness when I hired a wedding planner and then realized that would NEVER work so I fired her. Ok we left on good terms, I just want a fun casual day that spends as little money as possible and we weren't seeing eye to eye on that! So instead I have been doing invites and dragging Nick ( not really) to every single bb-q place around Western Washington to find the caterer. By the end of that three month food fest I was in dire need of the gym. : )
Wow...I got off topic there. Ok where was I....oh right....I can't believe it's almost here! We have our engagement session tomorrow. I know, a bit late but better late than never right? Just agree! Now I have to find the perfect outfits....oh Nick is gonna kill me. He just cleaned the house and when I am searching for the perfect outfit or five....I manage to make my closet and all of it's many contents spill out onto the floor of our bedroom and into the bathroom and over the banister. This of course gives my soon to be hubby a nervouse twitch and he just shakes his head and heads downstairs. I have to try on all of the clothes and then mix and match to see what works best! Then I must model this for him, like he can tell the difference between my navy striped shirt with the half sleeve and my Navy short sleeved shirt. All the while he is calculating how many clothes will be strewn all over the floor when he finally manages to make it up stairs and try not to pop a blood vessel!
I promise, I really am not some crazed bridezilla...I just sound like that!! No really....you believe me right...............do not answer that!

The Ring Bearers and the Flower Girl

These crazy kids are going to be our Ringbearers and the flower girl. Jacob and Camden are my cousins and my little sisters best friends. Amanda is obviously going to be the flower girl.

A bit about us

Hello everyone:

I am Andrea, hopefully you knew that by now. I work at Costco in the buying department.

I am pretty easy going, my family might be laughing at this point because I am easy going to a certain point. I have my anxious moments. I am loud in front of family and close friends, other than that I can be pretty quiet.

I like to sew and be crafty. Nick's only complaint about that is when my "stuff" is laying out and he has to look at it. Ok so I leave it there for a few days or more. I am waiting for the creativity...you really can't rush these things you know. It's not my fault that he is slightly OCD'ish.

My other hobby is shopping. I have no idea where this came from as my mom and sister are fine with dressing in jeans and a t-shirt with little to no make-up everyday and my dad dresses in slacks and a button up 6 days a week with the exeption of jeans on Sunday. I am in love with shoes and clothes and make-up. My brother is the only really big shopper besides me. He has a shoe collection that rivals mine!! At 14!!!

Moving on to Nick:

He is not a clothes shopper. His closet is mostly black t-shirts, jeans, and sweatshirts! He does like to shop, just not clothing, car parts! He works at Divers Street Rods. They build custom cars.

Nick likes anything that has a motor in it. He rides a Honda 954 when we get the occasional sunny dry day here in Seattle and the rest of the time he can be found in his Nissan 350Z.

If you know Nick you know he likes clean. His car is perfect at all times. I think he washes it by hand (we are NOT aloud to go through a car wash) twice a week and wipes it down in between washes. The house has to be clutter free as well. That is something I am working on. Luckily I have my own closet.....I don't think I have seen the floor since the day we moved in!

Here we are on New Years: That would be my parents dog Gigi in the background....she is attatched to his side when he comes over. I am like chopped liver now.

Ok so we are not your average couple and decided that we want our guests to be comfortable. Dress in whatever you like and enjoy yourself. Obviously dress respectfully, no super short dresses, no cut offs, no white, etc. Arrive in jeans, cocktail wear, a suit, a full length dress, whatever! We will be in traditional wedding wear but you are free to dress in a style of your own!

Also: We are going to be eating messy food so don't wear something that your worried about getting a stain on!
