BRGR

Sunday Adam and I were trying our best to figure out a place to eat that was cheap, and we remembered all of our friends RAVING about this place called "Cheddars" that they ate at down in Springfield at the wedding. Well, we found out we have a Cheddars here, so we decided to make the drive out there to see if it really did live up to the hype. Well, on the way we had to swing by the bank, and at the particular branch we stopped at, there was a strip mall nearby and we saw this intriguing place called "BRGR" and decided to stop over and see the menu. It was filled with different burgers, and we both thought that sounded good, so we detoured from Cheddars and ate at this unique little shop instead.

It was very different inside, metal chairs with a super rustic charm. We ordered a couple of waters, and they bring us back this bottle, it made me laugh!

All in all the place was pretty good. I liked my burger and Adam liked his, though I kind of wish we would have done Cheddars since we drove all the way out there! But it was definitely good. Yum.

cooking time!

So much food!

We've spent the day yesterday cooking all of the deserts and it's been crazyy!  I have powdered sugar in places powdered sugar should not be!  Ah!

But everything looks great.  The apples are done and in  their baggies, the puppy chow is bagged, my grandma is doing the caramel corn and peanut butter balls, and my mom is finishing up the cookies this morning.  Her dining room is filled with all of the things ready to go tomorrow to the rehearsal and it's a bit crazy.  We are getting our nails done today and then Adam should be here tomorrow and then the craziness starts...ahh!  Its actually here...everyone keeps saying how calm I look, but inside I'm jittery and honestly just feel like it all isnt real...eep!

I hope I remembered to pack everything...

dessert bar!

Since we already decided that we dont want a big cake and that we are doing a dessert bar, we've been trying to come up with various desserts that we can lay out. We are thinking of maybe doing a bunch of different tortes and goodies and of course my mom's cookies and peanut butter balls! I picked up something similar to this that I think might be a good idea for the chocolate goodies...



And then of course we are doing the candy buffet! We've been super lucky and I was given a ton of candy buffet things from one of my amazing brides, and the rest we found for super cheap on Craigslist (which, btw, I am in love with.). We are planning on setting it up in our colors, so the fact that all of the fall/halloween candies will be out the month of our wedding just works out amazing. And saves us money!



And then I came across this idea. I am in love.



Although I'm worried about the messiness of an open ice cream bar...I'm thinking that just sounds like alot of melty ice cream and toppings everywhere. So I went to Dippin Dot's website, and low and behold THEY SHIP! And they are affordable! How awesome would that be?! Get the disposable martini glasses and have a Dippin Dots bar! Ahh! I dont know the details or how that will exactly happen, but if it's possible, oh, it's happening.
