It's A Girl!

Finding out the sex of Baby Barnett was an adventure in itself! First of all, we took more people with us than we were supposed to; however we were all TOOOOO excited! Brittney, Larry, Myself, Mom, Dad, Paula, and Larry were all waiting very patiently in the waiting room, laughing, hollering and telling jokes! (Praying we would not be kicked out). I was able to capture some good pictures of the gang!







We are so excited and counting down the arrival of little Miss Addison! We can't wait to meet her!!! Only 134 days!

Sugarland Concert/Kentucky State Fair

Mackenzie, Codi and I went to the Sugarland Concert at the Kentucky State Fair and had an amazing time!! Of course we splurged and had wonderful, expensive corn dogs and beer; however it was well worth it!! I didn't take too many pictures, but here are a few!

Busy Weekend Ahead!

Needless to say that after 10 straight days of work I am in need of a couple days off! I will be off of work Thursday-Sunday and am looking forward to it because I have soooo much planned back home! Thursday I will be attending the Sugarland concert with Mackenzie and I am looking forward to it so much! Friday I will going to Avalon for lunch with my parents and sister, followed by heading to Brittney's OB to find out the sex of Baby Barnett!!! We are so excited to find out the sex and to start buying all kinds of goodies! I am sure I will spoil Baby Barnett! Saturday is my bachelorette party, and Sunday will be a relaxing day for me!

Bryan is celebrating his bachelor party this weekend as well, he will be heading to Chicago with the guys!

I will definitely have a post after this fun-filled weekend with plenty of pictures!

ONLY 38 MORE DAYS UNTIL THE WEDDING!!

Invitation Party

Thanks to everyone that helped us put together our wedding invitations! They definitely were time consuming; however I love the way they turned out! My mom and sister came up last weekend and we worked on invitations for about 4 hours! It was exhausting but felt great when we accomplished a lot. This past weekend we worked on them again for multiple hours with Debbie and they were finally almost finished!

Lastly, my mother, sister, Brittney Wardlaw and my Aunt Marcia completed addressing all of the invites this week. Thank you so much for all of your help! Bryan and I definitely wouldn't be able to have the wedding we are going to have if it weren't for the help of EVERYONE!

THANK YOU!

Bryan's New Truck!

After 2 months of searching, Bryan finally found the truck he wanted!! We absolutely love the new truck!!

Wedding Showers

I've been very busy this summer trying to get everything ready for the wedding; however my friends and family have been just as busy! I had 2 wedding showers in July that were both amazing! More than I ever expected and I appreciate everyone that was involved in both of them.

My first shower was a family shower at Hanover Beach! Special thanks to Brittney Wardlaw and Brittney Barnett for helping put the shower together. Brandon was able to put a tent up along the river, Ed was able to get the margarita machine going and of course we had a lot of great food! Thanks again to all that attended..Bryan and I appreciate our family more than anyone can realize.










A couple weeks after my family shower, all of my bridesmaids put together the most amazing shower I've ever been to! From the "wedding dress cupcake" cake, personalized koozies, fine games, to the amazing food, the girls pulled out all of the stops for me and I couldn't be more thankful! I don't know how I will ever repay the favor! We had such a great night and I love you all!!

Ashley

What a great weekend it has been! Ashley made the trip from Charleston, IL to visit Bryan and I. She is on Spring Break next week and wanted to come hang out for a couple of days. It has been way to long since we have seen each other and we couldn't have been any happier to see her. On Saturday night we went to Kilroy's downtown Indianapolis for some drinks and had breadsticks as an appetizer! We ended up heading to Jillian's later on to hang out with some of the District Managers I work with. We had a great night!

Today, we're having a fun-filled day of relaxing! We went out to lunch and then came home to relax on the couch, watch basketball and movies!

We are so glad Ashley came to visit!

Caterer and Wedding Cake!

Bryan and I have been extremely busy lately with wedding planning! Last weekend we were very productive! After many taste testings and reviewing menus, we decided on Chardeau's Catering and we couldn't be happier with our selection! I would love to share the menu with all of you, but I want to keep it a surprise.

In addition to the caterer we also finalized our wedding cake! A few weeks ago I found a picture of the cake I want in a magazine so it was very easy to get exactly what we wanted! We met with Tina Konkler (located in Scottsburg, Indiana), and did some taste testing. Less than an hour later we had the entire cake planned out and we LOVE IT!!! All I can say is save room for dessert because you will not want to miss out!

Wedding Planning

The wedding planning is coming right along, thanks to the help of my mother and sister, my wedding planners!

CEREMONY AND RECEPTION
We are getting married on September 24th, 2010 at Second Presbyterian Church in Louisville, KY. The reception is immediately following at The Gillespie, which is located downtown Louisville on Market. We are in the process of finding a caterer and deciding on the decor of the beautiful Gillespie. We will not be revealing all the details so you will just have to wait for the big day!

DRESS
For those of you that may not know, I did find my wedding dress a couple weeks ago. My mom, sister, and Layne came up to Indianapolis and we began the search! After going to one boutique and finding nothing that caught my eye, we went to Nancy's Bridal on the north side of Indianapolis. Each of the girls picked up a few dresses they wanted me to try on and after a couple of hours in the dressing room I found the ONE! I LOVE my dress and can't wait to wear it again! It will take approximately 4-5 months to come in, then I will get it fitted and ready for the big day.

HONEYMOON
Bryan and I have been spending many hours looking at honeymoon destinations. Our favorite destination thus far has been Cabo San Lucas, Mexico! We are currently talking to multiple travel agents to determine where the best place is for us to stay! If you have any advice, feel free to let us know!




FLOWER GIRL PRACTICE
While home last weekend, Bryan and I were able to spend some time with our favorite little niece and flower girl, Kaidyn Nicole. Brittney got out her box of wedding stuff and we started practicing with Kaidyn already. She was adorable and had a wonderful time placing the flowers on the coffee table as well as the floor. The cutest part, she felt the need to pick up all the flowers after she threw them down! It may take her a while to get down the aisle; however she is so adorable that nobody will mind.

Welcome To Our Blog!

Yay! I'm going to make another attempt at keeping everyone informed on not only the wedding planning, but on Bryan and I as well! How exciting for all of you that will be following us. :) I'm crossing my fingers that this will be more successful and a little bit easier than the wedding website!
