swoozies is closing!

I just called the Swoozies in Charlotte and they will be closing in 60-75 days. This breaks my heart. I will definately be going though and getting as much as I can before the wedding. This store has all of the super cute stuff you could ever ask for when throwing a shower. Well, back to job searching for now.

settling in...

well we have arrived in north carolina and, i love it! it's been so nice to set up our first place together. his house just never felt like mine, so this has been wonderful. ikea is a lot emptier now, but our apartment is just too cute, or at least, it's getting there :) we now have our dresser, two night stands, a tv stand, and a mirror, along with kitchen stuff and knick knacks galore. the line we've used is the hemnes line.

we also have his daughters for spring break right now, so today will be lunch out, pedicures, and maybe a museum. they are so cute and so excited to be here, which is wonderful.

and the move is over...

Well, we have returned the uhaul and made at least one trip to the recycle center with boxes, but there's still a lot more to do. The kitchen and our bath are done, for the most part... Now just 2 bedrooms and the office to go... And by the way- I LOVE it so far! Now, to find a job...

Where to stay?

We don't expect to have enough out of town guests to reserve a block of rooms, however, after looking at different hotels in the area, I wanted to post three hotels that I have found and wanted to recommed to anyone needing to stay in the Franklin, TN area.

Aloft Hotel
7109 South Springs Dr
Franklin, TN 37067

Courtyard Franklin Cool Springs
2001 Meridian Blvd
Franklin, TN 37067

Hyatt Place Nashville Franklin Cool Springs
650 Bakers Bridge Ave
Franklin, TN 37067

All of these are VERY nice and I would recommend them for anyone. I hope I can get the future hubby to get our rooms reserved at Aloft :) It's SUPER nice, SUPER new, and VERY modern. Sounds perfect for us!!!

bird's the word

Ok, you've probably picked up on my obsession with Swoozies by now- but I just found something new! They have "wording suggestions" on their website, which is such a big help. It isn't just wedding invitation wording either, they have everything from stock the bar showers, bridal luncheons, lawn showers, etc. AWESOME resource to "hint" at for those loved ones that are throwing your shower. Sign up for their emails, too. They constantly give away free personalization and shipping offers.

On a personal note, I called and signed up with a staffing agency in Charlotte for when we move there. I think it will be a little easier to get a feel for the different parts of town to see where I would want to work. Still trying to get on full time at a pharmacy, but hey- some work is better than no work!!!

Till next time!
