i saw the sign

yep...did this blog's title take you back to the days of ace of base?  me too.  :)

i was looking around on the knot one night and found some cute ideas for signs at the wedding.

 i've actually made us these already except mine are much cuter.  not to brag.  but it's true! :)

another cute idea but our chairs aren't going to be facing this way.

i really like this idea, especially since our ceremony and reception will be at the same venue just in different locations.

this one's cute too.  just a little too small.

we are going to have one of these.  we already registered for it at bed bath & beyond.  looking for a wedding gift?  hint hint... :)  i have a vision of hanging it over our "soon to be" fireplace!

this sign would go along with my other blog about the candy bars.  it's cute though!

so i leave you with a little reminder from 1994.  ohhh the middle school days! :)

need a laugh?

i stole this from a friend's wedding blog.  i couldn't help it!  it looks absolutley hysterical!  i hope i can get some girls together to go see it when it comes out!

welcome to the world cletus j.!!

baby daniel finally decided to make his way into the world around 6:00 pm hawaii time!  i am so excited to become aunt stephy!  if you don't know, he's the son of my best friend and matron of honor!!  also my future ring bearer! 

when leah told me she was pregnant, i had to come up with a nickname for the baby!  i tossed around fetus and poppy but for some reason "cletus j. pomykal" stuck with me!  i also enjoyed saying "cletus the fetus can't wait to meet us".  i work with a bunch of 7 and 8 year olds.  what do you expect?  :)  sometimes it's cletus.  sometimes it's cletus j.  sometimes it's just c.j.  i don't think i'm going to be able to call him by his real name.  poor kid.  my hope is that one day, he'll look at leah and say "mommy, why does aunt stephy call me cletus?"  all she'll be able to say is "ohh, that's just crazy aunt stephy!" :)

i love you cletus and i can't wait to meet you!

how sweet it is

i've been playing around with the idea of a candy bar for our reception.  our pta at school set up a candy bar for the staff this past week.  it was so cute and seemed like an easy idea!  here are some of the cutest candy bars i found online.

now my only questions are...

1.  what kinds of candy would i use?

2.  would people like this or would it be a waste of money?



happy 30th birthday johnathan!

happy birthday fancy!  i love you!

save the date!



we have a videographer!!

video was another thing that i knew nothing about.  i mean, i have a tripod and a video camera...but i've never paid anyone to do it.  some people said "do you really need a video?"  my answer is "OF COURSE!"  if you know me at all then you know how much i love pictures.  well, i have the same obsession with video.  i still watch my junior/senior prom video.  (ooh.  i think it's time for another viewing party!)  there's also a pretty entertaining video of leah and i in the mountains.  have you ever had a mouse fall through a spiral staircase onto your back?  i have.  :)

this was my senior prom.  why did we have such a hard time posing for pictures?  so awkward!!

after emailing lots of videographers and getting some VERY outrageous prices, i found a guy out of wilmington.  check out, aria moon.  i really like steve's laid back attitude.  it's not like i need some hollywood production but i do need a video of the whole day.  and he gurantees to have your video to you in 30 days or you get a full refund.  that's great, cause i'm very impatient!  leah tells me "patience is a virtue." i'm still learning.
