Activity for FutureMrs.DCT

I have't been on much the last 2 weeks due to holidays. My mom came for Christmas (that's a whole other vent), and I had surgery yesterday. I had my tubes removed (no more babies for us. Still sore and a little bloated but feeling good. I have a...

So FH got the call from his mom today to vent about not inviting step-brother and clan to wedding. You may remember I mentioned this was coming. Her first argument was we were invited to his wedding. Umm, no we never got an invitation. Apparently the...

So on Black Friday I ordered our STDs (60% discount) and the vases (heart shaped) for our sand ceremony. I ordered the STDs from Vistaprint and got 20 with upgraded envelopes with our return address pre-printed on them for $23.72. The vases...

I just had to share this. Our venue contracts with one particular bartending service, and if there is any alcohol you use this company. We told the wedding coordinator at the venue we wanted the "Gold" package even though the smallest size was 60-75...

So I created a Facebook group closed to everyone except for those invited to our wedding. It was a way to let everyone know that the location had changed, etc. FH does not want to invite his step-brother and his family (he just came back into the...

So I did order our STDs! I decided to go with the magnet ones since in the end they were just a few cents more than the postcards. I also got the upgraded envelopes with our return address printed on them. The total was just under $24. We only...

Just want to wish all of the WW ladies and gents Happy Thanksgiving! Course I'm also excited because I'm going to be purchasing our STDs tomorrow (hello Black Friday), and we're meeting with the the wedding coordinator at our venue tomorrow. So now...

We get a DJ with our venue. Since we aren't doing any of the traditional reception stuff we initially just wanted to make our own playlist and plug an Ipod or MP3 into it. Since we are getting a DJ I decided to make a list of artists that we like. I...

Him frustrating me, not me frustrating him (although he might disagree). I've started the search for a photographer. He is having major issues with understanding: 1) Why they cost so much, and 2) Why there has to be more than just 10 pictures. I...

Whew, that is done. We decided to go with venue #1, Saguaro Buttes. We put the deposit down yesterday (11/17) for our 3/17/17 wedding. LOL. The owner pointed out we must love the number 17. I'm so excited and happy to have that out of the way. This...

So I had a retirement plan at my previous employer. I left them a little over a year ago, and never did anything with it. Today I received mail from the company (TransAmerica) that took care of the retirement plans. Basically if I didn't have a place...

So yesterday we visited another venue. Lovely place, love the owner who is also the officiant, BUT it's about $**** more than the other venue we really like, AND it's a LOT further from our home. What is included is kind of equal. Venue 1 (the...

So I have to get this off my mind. In looking at venues I ruled out several places due to drink cost. Mainly because they are charging $18 a bottle for Martinelli Sparkling Cider. $18! Are you effing crazy?! I can get that at my grocery...

So FH and I finally officially agreed to switch our wedding from CA to AZ. I've emailed our planner (going to lose money there) and officiant (hadn't paid deposit yet) in California. I just did that this morning, so I haven't heard from them. What we...

Sorry for posting twice, but this has been a great week for my daughter. She voted for the first time on Tuesday, AND (most important) she was accepted into the University of Arizona today!!! I'm so proud of her for everything. She's just a super...
