Sweet Home Alabama

So, I have big news...I am moving home to Alabama. Recently, my former boss decided to throw his hat into the ring to represent Alabama's 5th Congressional district. Since I was already planning on heading down to Alabama a few weeks before the wedding to prepare, I figured why not bump that up and go home  to help out on the campaign. Not only will I be able to get plenty of wedding related things done, I can also help make sure the 5th district has, in my opinion, the best representation in the 113th Congress.

I will be travelling to Alabama, as scheduled, for wedding showers the first weekend of February. However, my little brother will be flying back with me to help me pack up and move me and the Arch-Man back to Alabama. S will stay here and work until the wedding. It will be hard, considering we've been living together for almost 2 years, but it'll be good practice for the 7 months we'll be apart during deployments. Hopefully he'll be getting orders soon and we can find out where Uncle Sam wants us to go next!

Wedding Win: Wedding Day Gift Replacement

Yes, I realize this is the third straight post about a wedding day gift for Steve. I found one, then I blew the surprise and gave it to him early, leaving me empty handed. Well, problem solved! Thanks to ideeli, a discounted shopping site like RueLaLa, I was able to find a great gift for Steve. I found a mini Packers helmet, signed by Clay Matthews! I'm hoping he really loves it...too bad the Packers blew the season  in their game against the Giants Sunday.

Wedding Woe: Wedding Day Gift

Some of you may find yourself doing a double take on tonight's topic. Yes, my last post was about a wedding day gift for S. And yes...I broke down and gave it to him. After unwrapping both of my wonderful gifts (exactly what I asked for), my little gift felt crappy so I supplemented it with my planned wedding day gift. I did wrap it up in a vintage Packers shirt (thanks Mom)! So now I'm back to square one and am trying to think of another gift idea. It needs to be almost as awesome as the first gift...I say almost as awesome, because I just don't think you can top NFL ownership. All suggestions are welcome!
