Fun with Coach and Other Adventures

Hi ladies! So, as mentioned, I got my marriage license yesterday! Yay! So now whatever happens, I can officially get married... I have a guy, a pastor, a dress (okay, that's not necessary but important to me), and the official okay from the State of NY. I'm good to go. All the rest is just details.

Some things to report... my guest list is incredibly down. We invited ~240 people. It now looks like, getting into the final week (responses were due on Monday), with all our surprise nos and some actual cancellations, we're down to about 135 attending- and that includes the B&G, and the photographers/DJ (they have to eat too!). I'm really surprised. We were originally planning on around 175! But, as hard as it is not to take it personally, I realize I won't be thinking about the people who aren't there at all on the big day, we are saving money, and I know I'll get to spend just a little more time with my guests that day. So, in the end, I realize it's all great. :)

Target... sent me a double gift from one of my friends. I've emailed to make sure she didn't get charged twice, but if not, bonus!

My computer.... decided last night to refuse to charge with the charger. So, I'm running on my fiance's six-hour battery, and he's charging our other batteries in his computer. <> Of course! At least it didn't die, and I'll be able to back everything up to CD before the fix-it guy comes. (Note.... now my fiance's computer is acting up. Great.)

And as promised- FUN AT COACH! We had to drive to NY to get our license, so we just went right over the border at the end of the Pike. This isn't really that far from us, so it wasn't bad at all. On the way back we stopped at the Lee Outlets so I could get my bridal party and mom's gifts. Weeee! I can't even tell you how exciting it was to walk into the Coach outlet and buy 8 bags. The prices were unbelievable.... on my final receipt I saved about $150-200 more than I spent!! My biggest bargains were the purple bag for one of my BMs (super discount of 60%) and the big cream bag for my mom (~55% discount), although all the discounts were great. I leave you with a picture of my triumph:
