It's been forever since I've blogged on here! I have several resolutions this year that I am really trying to stick to...updating this blog is one of them! I almost never make resolutions since I know I am not good at sticking to them, so this is why I am putting them in writing. One of the main resolutions I am trying very hard to keep is to eat healthier and exercise regularly. So far I have

Matt and I have been extremely busy with house projects! Before we officially moved in we refinished the hardwood floors in all three bedrooms and the dining room (we had to rip up the carpet in the dining room first though)! Then we took down the mirror above the fireplace, ran electricity to that wall, had to putty, sand and paint that surface, and mounted our TV there. It looks great! We also

We are officially homeowners as of Friday at 12:00. After closing, we drove over to our new house and got right to work! We are officially moving in to our house this Saturday, the 6th and have a lot to do before we get the furniture in. We made a TON of progress over the weekend. We ripped up the dining room carpet (we want to refinish the hardwoods that were underneath). We painted the bedroom

I had off from teaching this past week for February break. My week "off" wasn't much of a vacation. There was packing, lots of homework, and errands to run. I am currently taking a weekend course that meets every other weekend for four weeks. One of our major assignments in this class is a 20 page literature review. I think this counts for at least 60% of our grade...there are only 2 big

So, in the last post Kate told you we had cupboards... well, we found ones from lowe's we like better. we're getting our counter top from there, anyways... we started packing up all our stuff... less than 2 weeks to go.../

So, after complaining how overwhelming looking at cabinets was, we are pretty sure that we found the ones we want. We went to a place called Mr. Seconds...here is a link to the kitchen cabinets we like. http://www.bargain-outlets.com/kitchens.php?cabinet_id=20. There is still a lot do, but most of will wait until we move in.

We may be waiting a while to buy our cabinets. First- we had to make appointments to meet with the kitchen specialists at Lowes and Home Depot...should have realized that one! However, we did get a chance to talk to one of the specialists for a little while last night though, and he came up with a very unique floor plan which requires a little more work than we anticipated. His idea involved

Tonight we are going to measure our kitchen so that we can pick out our counter tops and cabinets. We are so excited! One of the people involved in selling the house (it's an estate) is going to meet us over there and has offered to leave a bunch of stuff there for us if we want it. He offered us a lawn mower, ladders, a bunch of cleaning supplies. He also told us that he found extra shingles ,

So it's been so long since I've posted I'm not too sure if anyone actually still follows our blog anymore or not! The second semester of Grad school was SUPER hard, but again, I got all A's and have a 3.9 GPA. My third semester is proving just as tough, but I know I can make it through. I'm taking 9 credits, subbing every day, working at Sylvan Learning Center and I just agreed to privately tutor

It has been way too long since either of us have posted a blog but I'll try to be much better about it. Here is a link to all of our wedding pictures! We are very happy with how they came out. There are a few that the photographer did some funky stuff in photoshop that i'm not crazy about, but over all I love them! www.pictage.com/694803.

My life has been particularly crazy since we got back from our honeymoon. I started grad school at St. John Fisher College July 6th (2 days after we got home). Since its a summer course it's only 6 weeks long and has been very intense. I'm in class every night Mon.-Thur. from 6-10. Hopefully I can plow through it and I'll be all done in 15 months. This weekend will be relaxing and fun though.

If you log on to facebook you can see a lot of pictures that our friends took at the wedding. We have also added pictures from our honeymoon on facebook too. We should be getting our professional pictures soon and will link to them once we have them.

Yesterday, we drove down to Corning to celebrate my Grandma's 89th birthday with her. Because she is in a nursing home now, she could not come to the wedding, so we brought some pictures and a program for her. We had a good time with her and its always great to see her. It can be hard to spend time with her because she's lost so much of her memory that she doesn't comprehend everything. I try to

I started grad school at St. John Fisher College on Monday. I'm going for my masters in special education. Several people have told me that they think I'm crazy for wanting to work with special ed. Yes, it is extremely challenging...but on the flip side, its also extremely rewarding. I'm taking 2 classes both 6-10pm. My evaluation, assessment, and diagnosis class meets Mon. and Wend. My

Cancun was breath taking! We could not have asked for a better honeymoon experience. Sun Palace, the hotel we stayed at, was all inclusive and couples only. We were immediately greeted with a carnation and 2 glasses of champagne. I obviously didn't drink mine, but it was a very romantic gesture. Every day we laid by the beach and the ocean. Waiters or waitress walked around and asked for drink

I've been fixing up the apartment the past few days and going crazy! Now all of our shower gifts and early wedding presents that we've received are put away and all of our old stuff is packed up and going into storage tomorrow. We've also hung curtains and picture frames. My hope chest and vanity are moved in and most of my clothes and shoes are put away. It finally looks like I really live here!

I am official on vacation! My co-workers threw me a party today complete with cake. Then, my boss let me leave 2 hours early. Now I do not have to step another foot into work until July 7th. It's been a crazy busy week so far organizing the apartment and moving Kaitlyn's stuff in and getting everything ready for the wedding.I'm looking forward to this weekend!

Matt and I have been incredibly busy this past week or so. We met with Wegmans who's doing out flowers, planned out a preliminary seating arrangement and last night we met with our photographer. Basically, everything is all set and ready to go. I have to pick up my dress and give a final head count to the cake baker and Crescent Beach. We have to start calling all our guests who haven't responded

Saturday was my bachelor Party. I went golfing with a bunch of my friends at Shadow Lake Country Club in Penfield. I played pretty well compared to how I normally do. After golfing we headed over to TC Hooligan's for some wings and beer. Later that night just couple of guys and I headed downtown and club hopped from bar to bar. It was a fun time! Thanks to everyone who could make it!

Today we took ballroom dance lessons. We had a really good time! The instructor had us practice the foxtrot, since that dance best fit our song. I think it will look really good...especially once we're all dressed up. We also went to the town hall yesterday to get our marriage license. That was a big a step that suddenly made this surreal event very real. I am so excited for the big day. We've

I though Kate was going to make a quick post about this but I guess I will. One month from right now, we will be sitting in the airport waiting for our flight to Cancun. This last month is going to be extremely busy. I can't believe how fast the engagement has gone.

Matt and I both had the entire day off yesterday. I can't tell you how nice it was to finally be able to see my fiancee and spend some quality time with him! Since we knew that we'd have the day off we decided to get as much wedding stuff done as possible. At 10:00am we met with Sue at elegant expressions who is making our cake. We gave her a picture of exactly what we wanted and told her what

I decided to add a poll over on the right column. I thought this would be a fun way to build up excitement for the wedding. If anyone wants to leave any comments regarding the poll, you can leave them on this post. I think this will generate some conversation and debate.

I wasn't able to make it because I had to work, but all of the Cole family is here in town for it and we're having a party here in Webster that I'll be able to make.

This weekend my family threw me another bridal shower. Everyone had an amazing time. The party went off without a hitch. I know my sister was going crazy to make sure that every detail was perfect. Thank you for all your hard effort Jen, and all of my family who helped! The day was perfect and we got sooooo many amazing gifts. We officially have no more room in the apartment to fit anything else.

All this swine flu stuff has me worried about our Honeymoon. We're supposed to be going to the Sun Palace in Cancun, Mexico. Hopefully, it will blow by in the next 2 months before we go. If not, I guess we'll have to buy some pretty damn sexy face masks. I think we should be fine when we go, but I will keep checking the news and hope for the best.4/28 9:50PM: I feel a little better after reading

Today is exactly 2 months until the wedding!! I am very excited about this. Time has flown by lately, but I still felt like it's taken a long time to get here! Next week is my last Bridal Shower. My family is hosting this one. I can't wait!We finished putting all of the invitations together in the envelopes today. This task took a lot longer that I thought it would! We spent a little over an hour

Matt asked me to marry him one year ago today! It's been a whirl wind since then. When we picked June 27 as our date it seemed like it was forever away. Time has just flown by! I can't believe it. The day is fast approaching and now we have to start planning all of the last minute details. One big thing we have to do is order favor boxes and send out the invitations. We've started a few drafts to

Today was our first bridal shower. Matt's Aunt Cindy, Cousin Alyssa and Sister Emily threw me a bridal shower for their side of the family. We had a lot of fun! We played Bridal Taboo (my team kicked butt with this game thanks to me!) and we made toilet paper brides. After having delicious appetizers and playing fun games I got to open lots of gifts! We now have a full set of our everyday dishes,

One Year ago today I bought the ring. I wasn't really expecting to buy it quite yet, I was more just looking at options. The one I bought Kaitlyn jumped out at me and I was like "I have to get it". I drove up to Buffalo on Friday, the 4th and had stayed the night with Jon and Theresa at their apartment. I had told them about my intentions of looking for a ring before staying the night. They were

Last night I tried on my wedding dress again for the first time in almost a year. Thankfully it still fits. I am so in love with my dress!! I do have to tone up a little bit and loose some weight because it was definetely more snug than it was when I first bought it. After that my Mom, Sister, Sister-in-law, my brothers girlfriend Laurie and I all went to Davids Bridal. They all still had to pick

We're finally done cleaning out the old apartment. We're so excited to get that monkey off our backs! The walk through will be Tuesday afternoon. We spent hours over there scrubbing on our hands and knees so we better get the entire deposit back. We'll update our blog when we find out how picky they are. I'm just looking forward to enjoying our apartment together. Everything is all unpacked. The

Matt and I are now all moved in. Many thanks to all of our friends and family that helped us!! We are all settled in and everything is almost all set up. I am in love with our new place and cannot wait to start our lives together. Only about 3 more months to go. There is so much to do between now and then. I've been extremely calm about the planning process, but I feel the stress when I think

I'm sitting right now in the new living room. The only furniture is a desk chair and my TV. We've moved a lot of stuff in but most of the furniture is waiting until saturday. Sears came and delivered the washer and dryer and I'm currently on my 3rd load tonight (I don't think I've ever done 3 loads in one week let alone in 1 day.

Life has been a little crazy lately! Matt and I have been packing up and getting ready for the move. There is so much to do and so little time. Emily (Matt's sister) came home for spring break and helped us pack up. We're headed up to Buffalo for a Sabers game this weekend and as soon as we get back we're going to get the key to our new apartment and officially begin moving. Before you know it,

I've started packing up my stuff to move into our apartment. The lease on the new place starts on Sunday, the 15th. Our big moving day is March 21st. If you wanna help us move on the 21st let us know! I can't believe how much crap I've accumulated in 3 years living in this apartment. In the bedroom alone, I've had 5 bags of crap I didn't need anymore.

We are officially done planning (for the most part). All of the major decisions have been made. All that's left is little, last minute things. Earlier this week I went to Crescent Beach and finalized our menu and all of the details that go along with the reception. I am getting SOOO excited. Today I went to Elegant Expressions and put a deposit on the cake. I guess that is one thing I still have

So today was a pretty big day. I sold my futon. I had bought my futon prior to my junior year of college at UB. This futon was my bed when I lived in the shithole of an apartment I had on Minnesota Street in Buffalo. When my senior year came around and I moved back on campus to the South Lake Village, I didn't really need the futon because it was furnished. My roomates and I found space on for it

So I did a search on Kaitlyn's name and came across our announcement from the Webster Post. This is the one I don't like as much as the Webster Herald because they called UB, SUNY at Buffalo.

A lot has been going on the last few weeks. Matt and I finally decided to live in Daniels Creek Apartments. We got our washer and dryer which will be delivered the day after we start moving into the new apartment. I think Matt already blogged about all that though! I am so excited to begin our new life together. I can't wait to set to decorate "our" apartment. We've slowly been going through his

We have chosen a new apartment for us to live in. Its down the street from where I live now on the other side of Webster. Send either of us an email if you want our new address. We move in March 15th. I'm overlapping the lease with my current lease so that we have 2 weeks to move everything from here to there. The biggest thing we were looking for was washer and dryer hookups. This place seem to

Matt and I finally settled on where we want to live! They're really nice town houses in Irondequoit. We saw them on-line and decided to go there tonight. We loved them. They're slightly bigger than the apartment Matt lives in now and it also has a big basement and tons of closets to store stuff. We are so excited!

I actually really don't want to let the cat too much out of the bag. All I know is it'll look good on us guys. We're getting closer and closer to the big day!

Merry Christmas, Everyone! Today is the start of a crazy couple days. We're about to head over to my parents to do Christmas with my extended family. We do an exchange with my aunts, uncles and cousins. We will then have a big dinner consisting of lasagna and cookies. After my extended family leaves we'll exchange presents with my parents & Emily.

Matt and I had a wonderful Christmas together! The brunch was amazing and when we got home we exchanged our gifts with eachother. I got a TomTom for my car and LOVE it! Its so much fun playing with it. I haven't gone anywhere where I've needed directions but I can't resist playing with it. I've already downloaded some new voices and other features to it.

Its become kind of our thing to celebrate on the Sunday before. Basically, our itinerary for today looks like this:1.

I noticed yesterday that the theme we were using was all screwed up (Some of the images that were used for it, no longer exist). I found a new theme to use. I like it because it allows 2 collumns to put links and widgets on instead of just one. Let me know what you think.

The resort, Sun Palace, looks perfect and has many, many things to do on the premise. I am looking forward to be able to enjoy the Mexican sun.

Here is pretty cool link. It's a wedding where all the invitaions, save the date cards, etc all had pixelated graphics on it. If you don't know what pixelated is, think the orginal Nintendo from the 80's. The pictures are pretty cool, but I have to admit a little nerdy. Both the bride and groom must be big video game fans.

Here is a cool site regarding clean bachelor party ideas from askmen.com. It's a pretty cool list, nothing out of the ordinary. Of course, my bachelor party won't be completely "clean" but there are some cool ideas. I'm gonna try to link to more stuff as I run past it online to add more content, if possible.

Next its time to start looking at bakeries for wedding cakes. I think this will be the most fun all...lets just hope I can still fit in my wedding dress!

8 months from today we're getting married!!! It seems like forever away still, but at the same time we've already been engaged almost 7...so time is going fast. I'm glad we have time to plan so that we can make everything exactly how we want it. We did a ton of running around saturday to Michaels, Jo-Anne's and A.C moore. We bought a few vases at Michaels for our centerpieces. They're small and

I am so lucky to have him and could not imagine my life without him. The best thing about our relationship is that we have so much fun together and he makes me laugh so hard some times. I can truly be myself around him.As far as

2 years ago today, Kaitlyn and I went on our first date. For those of you that don't know how we met, our mutual friend Lisa set us up on a blind date. Originally, we were supposed to go bowling for it, but Lisa decided to switch it up and go Salsa Dancing. I was a little frustrated with this switch at first because it was going to take me out of my comfort zone. The place we went to is called

Matt and I got goldfish for his apartment. The tank is really pretty! We need to think of some good names for the two fish. We put water Lilly bulbs in the tank and they should grow in about 20 days. Fish are a good pet for an apartment...we don't have to walk them (or change the littler) and they won't wake up any neighbors by barking in the middle of the night.

We've been engaged for 5 months, and been dating for 1 year and 11 months today!! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by!Yesterday my mom and I went to meet with a bridal consultant in the floral department of the Pittsford Wegmans. I absolutly loved the designer we worked with. They were very resonably priced too. They were the first florist that we met with, so I'm still going to look

Life has been a little crazy lately. I've been working a ton and a lot has been going on. My brother's baby was born 2 month prematurly so my whole family has been concerned about him. He's doing really well though and if all goes well he'll be able to come in about a month. We snuck in and decorated the baby's room for them. They obviously weren't planning on Noah being born yet and we figured

So I need help. I have no idea what song would be good to dance with my Mom to. I listen to hard rock music most of the time and there is not too many cheesy Mother/Son songs in Hard Rock (I could probably name more songs about how bad their mothers were). I can only think of one song and its not really that good: Mama Said by Metallica. I know you are saying "Hey, Metallica is definitely not

Emily (Matt's sister) is going back to school next week. We made plans to go dress shoping on monday. While we're there, I want to start looking at shoes to go with my dress. I can't believe how fast these past few months have gone since we've been engaged! It still feels like the wedding is too far away, but I know that it will go by fast.

Flowers are the next thing that I want to take care of. I have no idea what type of flowers I want though. I know I want my bouquet to be all roses (because my middle name is rose). It would be nice if my girls flowers were all roses too, but I'm thinking that's a little out of our budget. I made an appointment to go to a florist with my mom Aug. 20th. Another thing I have to think about is the

Today is Kaitlyn's 24th Birthday. We celebrated it last night with my friends camping at Stony Brook State Park. day, we are going to Bazil's for dinner and then having cake and ice cream with Kate's parents and grandparents. Tomorrow we are going to TC Hooligan's in Webster at 7 to celebrate with her friends. Hope you can come!

Matt and I chose a photographer. His name is Dave Justiniano. He's right in Greece and has done Weddings at Crescent Beach before. It was a tough decision because we liked every photographer that we met with, but he did really good work and was reasonably priced. I'm meeting with Dave tomorrow to sign the contract and give him the down payment.Things are moving right along...the next thing we

So it's been a while since we've posted anything. We've looked at a few photographers so far and have one more meeting tonight. We really like a photographer named Dave- his website is www.classicphotosbydave.com. One of the other photographers we liked had someone call and book him before we were ready to make a decision so...oh well! We'll try to update the blog once we make a decision. We're

Today was kind of a crazy day. Matt and I both had off work so we were very productive. We started out the day by going to Bed Bath and Beyond in Pittsford which is the largest one in the Rochester area. We spent about 3 and 1/2 hours going through the entire store deciding what we needed/wanted. We decided that our kitchen is going to be all stainless steel, our bathroom is going to be burgundy

So this blog thing has become a hobby of mine. During my free time I like to tweak it and stuff. What are some suggestions that you would like to see on our wedding blog. Is there something on another blog that you would like to see? I have a few ideas, but am welcome to more...

Well, we have less than a year to go....Yesterday, we went to Crescent Beach and watched a wedding happen there to kinda get what was going on. It's really pretty. Kate can give more details on that. We ate dinner there with my parents and Kate's parents...

So, we met with our first photographer... She seemed pretty good and her prices were reasonable... We then went to Littman's at Greece Ridge Mall... we picked out my wedding band... it is made out of Tungsten... Tungsten is a very strong and heavy metal and has a dark grey color....We got a few more photographer's we're going to meet with and hopefully we'll have one picked out in about a month

Matt and I went and picked out our engagement picture yesterday. We won a free 8x10 for his apartment and we also bought a 4x6 picture so we can announce our engagement in the local paper. For the most part the pictures came out really good, there were some that we definatly didn't like, but we're really happy with the ones we picked out. We can pick up the pictures in about 2-3 weeks.

I picked up my veil and wedding dress from David's Bridal last night! I feel like Cinderella in it! It is safely hanging at my grandparents house till its time for alterations in about 10 months.I also e-mailed all of my bridesmaids about their dresses. I think I've made the decision to go to Davids for the dresses, but I'm going to let the girls pick out the dress they like the best as long as

Last night Matt and I took engagement photos at A Touch Of Elegance. The photographer was really nice and we're really excited to see what the pictures look like. We got some information about their pricing for the wedding. They're on the more expensive side but we really like the albums they showed us. We want to start meeting with some more photographers and see what average prices are.

Yesterday we had and engagement party with all of our immediate family. All together there were 23 people! We had a great time despite the cold weather and rain. We rented a pavilion at Kent park. Because of the cold weather though we also borrowed a tent and put some tables under there and a heater. I was really happy that everyone had a great time and got along really well.

I bought my wedding dress last night at David's Bridal. I went with my sister last night to look and was not planning to buy it at all...but when I tried to gown on it was made for me. They had to order a new one in for me because the one they had on the rack had a few defects so it will be a few months before it comes in.

Matt and I went to a bridal show at Carey Lake...It was a small show but we got some good contact information. Through the show we won a free engagement session at a place called A Touch of Elegance. Basically we won a free 8x10 engagement photo and i'm sure they're going to try and get us to buy all sorts of stuff, but we can always say no. This whole thing sparked us into looking at

So everyone needs to save the date of June 27th 2009 for our wedding! I called Crescent Beach and they have the date open so we're making the down payment tomorrow. I can't believe this is all happening. I'm sure now that I'm back to work this week that I won't make too many plans till this summer...that's why it's nice to be engaged for a while so we have time and don't have to stress about

So we looked at reception halls all day...First we went to Golden Ponds, it was pretty nice and reasonably priced. But, there was nothing that was like wow, this is cool. It was your basic party house. It's Garden Area was a fenced in area about the size of a basketball court with a gazebo and a man made pond. It was pretty nice, but I am scared about cramming everyone in there for the

So my Mom and I went to Lake Shore Country Club. The pricing was comparable to Crescent Beach but I was not that impressed by the atmosphere there. At Crescent Beach the scenery and landscape is beautiful and we'd be right on the lake. The ceremony at Lake Shore would be on a cement Patio...at Crescent Beach it would be by a gazebo with gardens around it overlooking Lake Ontario. We've got a few
