More wedding updates

We have gotten so much more done in the past few days.
The tuxedos have been ordered, just waiting for the groomsmen, ushers and father to go get measured.
Adam & Owen (our ring bearer) will be wearing white shirts, vests and ties.
Groomsmen will be wearing black dress shirts, horizon vests and ties.
Ushers will be wearing black dress shirts, silver vests and ties.
Fathers/Grandfather will be wearing white dress shirts, black vests and ties.

We look into rings and have found the ones that we think that we will be buying.  All we have to do is go back and purchase them.
Vikki's engagement ring will be enhanced with the wedding band and Adam's ring will have some bling!

Save the Dates came in with today's mail, so Vikki has been working on them so that they can be mailed out on Monday.

Visits and more visits

During the week/weekend of July 13th-18th we were blessed with having a good family that Vikki has known for a long time visit with us.  Unfortunately Adam was working so he was not able to spend time with the Ayers'.  Vikki was able to spend all of the time with them.  They spent time at the Bush Bean's factory, Dollywood, the Knoxville Zoo and putt-putting.


While they were here the girls were able to help Vikki finish the boutineers for the wedding.  And we also had another change of heart about the Save the Dates.  We were having a ton of questions about the date, so we made one.

Our last visit was an impromptu trip to Mount Pleasant to visit with Adam's uncle Paul.  On one of Adam's very few days off we went to see the Iowa Cubs (the Triple-A team for the Chicago Cubs) play the Nashville Sound.  The Cubs lost, but it was still a great time with uncle Paul.

It is really July?!?!?!

Well, the 4th of July weekend was very busy for us.  The Smokies were home for 6 days and Friday through Sunday there were fireworks after each game.
We spent the 4th of July with our friends the Blue's.  We had a BBQ and went swimming.

We were looking into finishing our Save the Dates, but we have given up.  We were unable to make our dream out so there will be no Save the Dates.  Vikki is disappointed but will get over it one day.
We are 5 months and 5 days away from the wedding.  We finally have everything worked out with the church.  The wedding will be held at 2 p.m.
We looked into a local hall instead of a banquet hall and have found what we need.  Now all we have to do is send out our deposit.

We have friends coming to stay with us on Wednesday and will be staying for the weekend.  These friends will be helping with some wedding items while they are here.  We can hardly wait to have all the flowers finished.

Vikki got a job in North Knoxville.  It is 0.3 miles from our apartment.  She starts the job on Monday, August 1st.  And then starting in the middle of August she will be continuing her dual enrollment at The University of Tennessee and Pellissippi State CC with having three classes at both schools.
