So I lied when I said I would blog on Friday. Splory came home Friday and was with Ella and I all day! Then after school my sister came over and played with her too! Both of them were such a HUGE help, they gave me a chance to shower, and make banana bread. Lauren and I took Ella to the vet on Friday to get her frontline, so I wouldn’t be nervous about leaving her outside in our yard. We also took her over to Erik’s parents house to play with Abby, there is a video of them playing on facebook. They seemed to like each other; at first Ella would walk around Abby with her butt facing her. It was too funny.
All weekend, every time we would put Ella in her crate or in the basement and close the gate, she would scream and cry like someone was trying to kill her. What a dramatic little puppy, haha. Lauren came over Saturday night and watched Ella while Erik and I were at my cousin’s wedding; thanks Splory! Then on Sunday we took Ella to Petsmart to sign her up for her puppy classes, which she starts on Thursday. After our little Petsmart adventure we came home and I made chili for the Redskins game (which we won!) and Erik did some much needed weed whacking.
We were so nervous to leave her at home alone all day while we are at work, but so far this week Erik’s mom and Anya have been coming over and playing with her and letting her play in the backyard. And after a few nights of barely any sleep, last night Ella finally slept through the night! Erik and I went to bed at 10:30 and woke up at 5:15am and she was still sleeping! It was glorious, hopefully it wasn’t a fluke and she will sleep through the nights now.
On another note we are still awaiting our professional wedding pictures and will post the link and all the information as soon as we get it! We can’t wait to see them!
I think that is all for now, more later!

Ella Seubert
She came over Sunday night with Sean and Brandy for a few hours to get accustomed to our house. We played with her a lot and she ran around sniffing things. She followed Erik and I around most of the time, it was so cute. By the end of the night she was soo pooped, Erik took her to her crate and laid down in front of her until she fell asleep. She slept down there for a good 30 min, then woke up and was sitting at the bottom of the stairs looking up at us. Oh it was so cute. We played with her a little while longer and took her outside, fed her and then she passed out on the floor again. Haha, here are a few pictures.
We get to take her home for good Thursday night I have Friday off, and Lauren is coming home from VCU to be with us . I will report from home on Friday to let you know how she is doing!

White Water Rafting!!
Labor day weekend:
After a long sad goodbye with my cousins, Erik and I headed over to Sean and Brandy’s house to start off our Labor Day weekend trip to West va. Yes you read correctly I said West Virginia. Bleh! Despite being in West Virginia we had such an amazing time! We were in a beautiful cabin in the middle of the mountains. We went white water rafting on Sunday. I was sooooo scared, but once we got into the water I was much more relaxed.
Our guide’s name was Redneck! Haha and boy was he, he had cut off jorts for goodness sake! For those of you who do not know what cut off jorts are they are cut of jean shorts. After rafting we had a nice dinner and took a few pictures from the outlook high atop the mountains. Here are a few pictures from our trip! YAY

17 days and counting!!!!
Whoa, the big day is quickly approaching and we couldn’t be more excited! We have been so busy trying to finish up the house and the last few wedding details. Diana has been super busy designing and printing our programs for the ceremony and the menu for dinner. Well actually she has also been planning my awesomely amazing bachelorette party! We are going to a Redskins game!! For Erik’s bachelor party, they are going tubing in Harpers Ferry. Yay!!
My mom and grandma have been busy making the wedding favors (they are so cute). I can’t wait to see them all completed. Erik’s mom just finished writing all the names on the placecards, now all I have to do is put the finishing touches on them. What else? Cherie is in the process of ordering our wedding flowers; they are going to be b-e-a-utiful. We are so grateful to have such wonderful help; we couldn’t have planned this wedding without our family and friends!
YAY, more later…

ONE MONTH LEFT!!!!
Holy banana bread! Four more weeks until our wedding day!!!! The last couple of months completely flew by. We are definitely on track as far as wedding planning is concerned. All we really have left to do is finalize the seating chart; we are still waiting on a few RSVPs. After we finalize the seating chart, we can start making the place cards, yippie!
Lets see, oh yes our friends Sean and Brandy have a boxer named Dolly and she just had puppies! They are giving us one as a wedding present and we might be getting another one as well, we have yet to decide. Here are a few pictures they sent us.
Aren't they so cute?!

I have my final dress fitting next Friday the 7th, lets hope I still fit into my dress haha. And this past Friday I went in for my trial make-up appointment with Ava and Lauren. We had a lot of fun, and I looooved my make-up, and we are set for my appointment on the day of the wedding.
We now have to pick out our songs and get the sheet music for the piano songs we choose, other than that I really don’t know what else I have left to do…hmm…

Ramsey just informed me that if you book your hotel room through the Virginian Suites website the price for the rooms is only $76, plus tax, instead of the $109 price they gave us for our wedding block.
Please go here https://reservations.synxis.com/LBE/rez.aspx?Hotel=10082&Chain=5130 and reserve your rooms. Let me know if you have any problems.
Thanks Ramsey!

updatessss
Sorry it has been a while since the last update, we have been super busy. The week after the bridal shower we left to go to Lake Geneva/Chicago with Erik’s family. We had a wonderfully relaxing week, thank you to Aunt Sue and Uncle Kevin for their hospitality. We had so much fun it was sad to come back, but it had to be done!
As soon as we returned to Virginia I was back in the swing of wedding planning. One of the first things I did was order our wedding cake, and let me tell you this cake is going to be one to remember. The only setback with the cake is that we have to arrange for someone to pick it up the day of the wedding. We have 180 people coming to the wedding surely someone will be able to go pick up the cake right??
I do not know what time the rehearsal is going to be but the rehearsal dinner is going to be at Fort Hunt Park in Alexandria at 3pm. This park is right near the GW parkway and overlooks the Potomac River. It should be a really nice setting for a sweet summer BBQ! Depending on the church we will either be having the rehearsal before the BBQ at around noon or after, let’s say around 6. I will post all the details about the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner/BBQ when I get confirmation from the church.
I had my trial hair appointment this past Saturday and I loved it. Now to find a make-up artist who will come to the church, that is the key. I have also started some preliminary seating charts for the reception, if you have any special requests please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate them.
YAY.. only 44 more days!!!!!
