I've done a little blog makeover.  What do you think?  I'm not satisfied just yet...I will probably change it again, but this is good for now.  I think it is nice and fallish :)  Speaking of which, I am SO ready for Fall!  For many reasons (including our wedding!!), but mostly for the cool CRISP (love that word) weather.  This summer has had oppressive heat and I hate to admit it, but we stayed inside most of the time.  We took Bauer to the dog park quite a bit, but only lasted about 20 minutes at a time because Chris and I would be drenched from sweat. So, bring on the cool weather that with it comes jeans and sweatshirts and cozy nights on the couch cuddled up!


During the entire time I was just updating the blog I had a black man laying on my lap.



THIS guy.

It's a good thing he only weighs 75 pounds now.  That whole 95 pound thing was killing our cuddling game.  Don't be worried though; it is totally normal that he lost 20 pounds.  Most of the weight loss is from his change in diet.  As previously posted this little cuddle bug has a food allergy.  He eats this food:

Which smells horrendous and makes his breath smell awful too.  This 16 pound bag costs us $54 and lasts about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks.  Very pricey, but nothing is too good for our baby.  Plus, since he can't have treats of any kind anymore we save money by giving him baby carrots as treats.  He loves them, and to be honest other than the cheese I don't think he misses them.

Moving on...Chris and I are done with pre-cana and are now ready to get married in the Catholic church!!  I'm sooo excited and so thrilled that Chris was willing to go through the year program for me.  It really wasn't that bad.  Except for the meeting with the couple who told us to stop watching porn (we do NOT watch porn).  That was probably the most miserable 1 1/2 of my life and I would never do it again.  Other than that the program wasn't that bad and I really am super excited to get married in the Catholic church.  I think it's going to be beautiful and very touching and emotional.  With Grandma passing in May it has been very hard for me to go through the meetings with Father Bob.  The whole church, the readings, the smell, everything just remind me of Grandma and, God I still miss her.  I miss her everyday and sometimes I can't figure out if I'm more sad or angry about it.  I hate HATE that she won't be at the wedding.  I hate that she won't hold my babies.  I hate that she will never walk up to me, take my face in her hands, kiss me, and tell me how good-lookin I am.  She was such an amazing person and I will forever love her.  Great, now I'm crying...and so is Emily (I know you are!!).  Father Bob said my tears were a tribute to her life and that she would be telling everyone in heaven how proud she is of us on our wedding day.  I know that's true.  She'll have a front row seat. 

While on the wedding topic...  Our rsvp's were due yesterday and we are still missing 23 of them.  What the hell, people?!  We gave you 3 weeks to respond!!  I just don't understand it.  Hopefully we will get most of them this upcoming week.  Otherwise, they will be getting calls!  I hate people when people are late (Emily...) and this is no different.  On a good note we got our passports for the honeymoon.  On a bad note I look like a freaking weirdo. I've been so crazy with wedding planning that I haven't even had the chance to look forward to Antigua.  THAT will be amazing. I can't waittttt.

I think I'll eat breakfast now.

Toodles.
