Lots of Updates!!

My FAVORITE part of our new place : the NEW kitchen. I should probably learn how to cook...

In the living room!

Our new "Welcome" Mat : )

So, as you can see we've made a HUGE step this week! We were really hoping to find a small place in Point Loma or Ocean Beach that we could call home after the wedding...and we found it! We weren't originally looking to nail down an apartment this early, but we found this one and it was the price we were looking for and the PERFECT location! It is in Point Loma, just walking distance from Ocean Beach. : ) Its a big blessing that we're getting it now, actually, because it will give us time to slowly move things in. That way, we can come home from our beautiful honeymoon in Maui to a beautiful new apartment!

Our NEW address is:

4350 West Point Loma Blvd.

Apt J

San Diego, CA 92107

We've been very busy lately with lots of fun aspects of the wedding. As you probably know, invites have gone out! That has been such a great relief...and we've already gotten lots of response cards! Its so fun to see a pile of cards on the Moss table every afternoon! : )

Also, we found an awesome DJ for the big day. In fact, they have a website where all of you can go to request songs to be played at the wedding! I thought that would be a great idea! Here's the link: http://www.djguyinc.djintelligence.com/request/

All you gotta do is enter the Group Name: jmiles and Password: djguy25 and then request away!!

Oh...and don't worry everyone - I found PERFECT shoes. : ) I know you were all worried about that bit on the check-off list.

Back at the homestead : )

It's official! We are one step closer to the reality of getting MARRIED! That means finding a new home that we will live in TOGETHER after the wedding! Wow. But first, it means that I, Ashley Renee, have moved back in with the fam. Yes. My poor parents had no idea what they were in for with my mounds of clothes and shoes...Oh yeah, and everything else I own. : ) But for better or worse, they have graciously agreed to let me stay with them to save some money before the wedding. This is awesome because it gives us time to look for a place we really like.


John and I have had lots of family time lately! My grandparents were able to come visit from Missouri last weekend, which was awesome! Plus, Johnny's parents were down in Vista to find a place for the rehersal dinner. They ended up finding a perfect spot at Shadowridge Country Club!! One more thing to check of the "to-do" list!


It feels like we have gotten SO MUCH done, but there are always more details to think about. Coming up we need to:
*Finish the invitations and mail them out **big one
*Pick music for the ceremony
*Pick a DJ
*Figure out all the elements of the ceremony
*Find somewhere to LIVE **bigger one
*Find shoes/accessories for me and my girls **biggest one...haha jk


Another big thing coming up for us is our pre-marital classes which I'm SOOOO excited about! We are taking a group class through The Flood Church here in San Diego. We get to do a Meyers Briggs test and I'm really interested to see how much John and I can learn about each other (that we don't already know), and how it will help our relationship. I'll be sure to share any morsels we get from the class that stick out! : )


79 days left! : )


P.S. The picture attatched to this post is of my darling little sister "helping" me move. haha.
