Three Months

Last month ended on a roll and so this month started with quite a bang.  And then it stopped for a few weeks.  Now, it’s starting to roll again.

-   -We ordered our proposal photo in large format.  This was my ‘birthday gift’ from D.  It was something we wanted to have in our house, but also something we want to showcase at the wedding.  And I just love that photo of us.

-   -We picked out our music for the progression, recessional, and when grandparents are walked down the aisle.  We also fine-tuned the schedule for the day.  It is pretty much done, but it was suggested I plan the photos out in more detail.

-   -I ordered our invitations!  They came in and look fabulous!  It took me about 2 hours to figure out how to use the pen tool on my silhouette machine.  I couldn’t quite figure out how I wanted the address part of the text to look, but I went with how it was printing (with double lines) and I kinda like it.   My goal is to have all the invitations addressed and stuffed by the end of next week.  And then stamp and add the return labels when I get back from vacation.  This one is a big deadline and I have a lot going on between now and the deadline, so I really need to keep up with it.  So far, so good!  And to show my nerdy-ness, I cannot wait to get all the RSVPs back.  Ha!

-  -I ordered the last part of the girl’s bridal gifts.  I can’t wait to get this item and share it with them.  I think (hope) they really like it as much as I do!

-  -D’s wedding band came in.  The brush/finish didn’t come in correctly, so they had to send it back to be how I wanted it.  On the inside, I hand-wrote a message to him.  He got to try on the band (and it fits!), but can’t read the inside (or know that it is in my own handwriting) until the wedding day.  I think he will like it J  It turned out really great!

-  -I scheduled my hair trial and make-up trial (the original one got re-scheduled)

-  -I e-mailed the guest list for the first 2 bridal showers.

-  -We had our monthly meeting with our pastor.

-  -I scheduled the second tasting with caterer.

-  -Ballroom classes have been scheduled.

-  -We met with our florist, aka my future mother-in-law.  I can’t wait to see all those flowers together.  It’s really going to pull the reception together.

Dreams :

-The guests arrived a day before and since I had my dress we went ahead with the wedding.  So we got married with me in my wedding dress and D in a blue t-shirt and jeans.  We had the real ceremony with the bridal party the next day with everyone dressed up.

Realizations: 

-There are some friends I haven’t seen in a long time (over a year) and I will see them in 4 months!

-In 4 months my bedroom will no longer be my bedroom.

-As much as I love having the extra time with my parents and I really do enjoy living with them, I’m also looking forward to the time when I don’t have to say goodnight to D as he drives back to his house.
