Wedding Planning

Well even though we got married at the courthouse Allen and I still wanted to have an actual wedding. We have been planning for months. And so far so good. Still a lot to get done. I feel bad though. Because I am the bride my family pays for a lot but I know there isn't a whole lot of money right now. So I am doing my best to help my parents. They put down like $3000 for a down payment on the venue. I paid $120 for invitation kits. I know it's no where near what they paid. But any way I can help I want to. I am eternally grateful to them. They do a lot for everyone here who still lives at the house. Plus I know how much my sisters wedding cost I added it up for my mom annnnd yeah. Hahaha not going to be that much. But moneys tight and it's going to be tough. But we will make a way. We already have a venue, Cake is ordered, ordered the topper,DJ, making the invites. The venue provides a lot for us so a lot of the decorations and things we wont need to buy. Although I feel guilty shes even doing this, my mom is set on taking from her 401k to give us a small cushion. But then she will have to pay it back over 5 years :( I told her not to but she says it's fine and that she has had to do it before when money was tight. It will be ok. I hate this economy and I hate that I am not rich. If I were I would do so much for my parents. But for now life is what it is and I am doing the best I can.

Kitties are so big now!!!!

Well it's been 3-4 months and the kitties are getting so big! Helios is the largest one out of all of them and he is Heavy! The male cheetah twin Peace is right behind him. It seems like Allen and I have the daintiest 2 out of the bunch. But it's ok they are our little girls :) All these kitties went from being tiny underweight fluffs they needed to be at least 1 lbs I think when we got them. They were only ounces. Now they are about 4-6 pounds. They just look like small cats now rather than tiny babies that probably shouldn't have left mom yet. But man are they little terrors when they aren't napping. It's like they live to destroy. If they aren't climbing curtains they are off shredding something or knocking things over or trying to get Allen's goldfish. *Sigh* But we love them! They certainly make life more interesting. Here are some recent up to date pictures of them from then and now:
