Wedding Programs

On Sunday, Matt and I put in many hours trying to make the "guts" of the wedding program on Word.  When I made the outside covers I didn't really think ahead to make them a nice convenient printing size, so Matt had his work cut out.  Good thing he is so patient!  (With me and Word...).  

So yesterday we printed the final copy from my printer and headed off to FedEx Office to print them!  We brought our supplies with us there to make sure it would all work before we pushed "copy 200".  

Here is our pile of originals and then (on top of the laminator) is the first stacks of massive copies.
Matt and the copy machine.
Then lucky Matt got to come home and cut!  He borrowed the paper cutter from his office, and since it had to be back today, we had to cut all 450 pages we printed (each cut 3 times).  Yup 1350 times he sliced that chopper.

I was putting the papers into stacks of 5 for him to cut, and then sorting them into their respective page piles after he cut them.  I was also attempting to cut the ribbon, but that didn't go over too well.  As you can see below, we have 9 stacks of 200 pages each.

That meant this morning I got to start sorting the stacks into...more stacks!  This time I am taking one of each page and making into a program stack.  The nine stacks on the bottom of the picture are the pages, the 5 on the top are the start of my "program stacks".  This picture is about half way sorted.

Next comes finishing stacking, hole punching through the pages and the covers, then ribbon-ing it all together.

To be continued...maybe

I REALLY need Laura back.

PS.  I guess since they were in stacks of 5 he didn't slice it 1350 times...Oh well.  It was a lot.

Friday and Saturday

On Friday Matt and I went skiing out in Cypress with Bob.  Matt ran 32 off which is his best, so that was exciting.  It was a very nice day, I felt a little guilty about tanning because thats why Laura came, but oh well.  I don't even remember what else we did Friday and that was only 2 days ago.  I think we watched a Monk where he goes on an airplane, and it was a pretty good episode.

Yesterday we played softball with the church league.  It is all sunday school classes that play against each other, and we won both of our games.  It was a hot and humid day out, we are getting to the point where we need to bring two water jugs for the 2 hours.

We then watched Michigan State win against UConn which was so exciting!!!  I wished the crowd was a little louder, but I was very excited whenever they did get nice and loud.  We have to use that to our advantage!  Matt and I will have to tape 24 and watch that on Tuesday.

It is super windy out right now, but we might go skiing anyway, then church tonight.

Fogo de Chao

On Wednesday night, Matt took Laura and I to Fogo de Chao.  It was so good.

Here is how it looks in the front window of the meats turning around the firepit.  Yum!

Me and Laura.  The rolls were sooooooooooooooooo good oh man.  We would take one out of the basket and then they would replace the basket!

You flipped your coaster to red if you were good or green if you wanted them to give you more meat.  Here is Laura getting some.

Me and Matt.

Laura wanted to get a picture of their boots and pants.

You took the tongs and grabbed the piece of meat that they sliced off for you.

Nancy, we think Bill needs to go here!!

Attempt at a Pool Day

On Wednesday the weather didn't really cooperate either, it was mostly cloudy and only about 70, but we went to the pool anyway.

We brought cards and I beat Laura in Phase 10 twice woo go me.  We also brought a picnic to eat at the pool - including the fun fetti cupcakes we made!

It was a little cold to lay in our swimsuits, but oh well, we dealt.  We also had guac and chicken salad...mmm good.

After staring at our toes for awhile, I decided they were in serious need of not being ugly, so we went to the nail place and got pedicures!  We both got flowers on our big toes, so we match.

And we did get a little red, the sun just came right through the clouds!

Putt Putt

Tuesday night after Matt got home, we went to Katy to go putt-putting.  Laura was ahead, but then choked and Matt ended up winning.

We came home and had a huge dinner of burgers, hushpuppies and guac.

Bike Ride and Turtles

Laura came down to tan and sadly I couldn't provide any sun for her, but on Tuesday for a few hours it wasn't raining and was decent out, so we decided to go on a bike ride.

I showed her my lovely drainage ditch that has a nice path along side of it.

And because she has never seen turtles before... I showed her our local turtle population.  They all came up for us - probably around 20!

We then continued our ride to Sonic because Laura had never been there either.  We got some popcorn chicken and limeades.

And I know how much you all love kitty pictures.

Assembling Invites

Laura was a good little worker and helped me assemble my wedding invitations.

Then we stuffed them all in the envelopes.  Now they are sitting in a box waiting to go out!

Thanks Laura!
