Where Is [INSERT ITEM HERE] ???

In the chaos of moving, many items have been misplaced.  The most important item? My camera charger. And my camera can't take regular AA batteries. It has a battery pack, like most digital cameras do now.

So, I've been using my mom's camera, but that also means that I haven't been able to upload the pictures from it yet.

I have been getting a lot done, and have drafted up some posts of projects that I have been completing, but I just need to add the pictures in and then post them.

We're in the last week now, and I can't even believe that I can finally say, "I'm getting married this weekend!"

When It's One, It's Not the Other

Progress is being made very quickly in the house, and not at all in terms of the wedding, hence the title of this post.

Family Room / Personal Picture

My To-Do List is still a mile long, and I really hope that we are able to pull it off.

Today is officially 21 days until the wedding.  This is crazy stuff, people. Crazy.

I am hoping to have some time this week to start working on the centerpieces, as I still have to try to cut the wine bottles.  If that doesn't work, it seems as though I will be going out to buy some vases.  Thankfully, all our RSVP numbers are in, and we're exactly where we wanted to be.  I'll do an RSVP Statistics post next, so you can all see how our numbers added up.

Hopefully my sister/MOH will be able to try some hairstyles out on me this week. I have a lot of hair, and we need to figure out really soon if she is going to be able to work with it.

Tuesday we are meeting with the DJ to go over music selections, and ironically, none of the ones that I mentioned previously are ones that we chose! You will have to wait until recaps to figure out our songs.

Between that and our next appointment, I will be figuring out the last of the must-have shots for our photographer.  I have the formals narrowed down, but do you have any suggestions on some non-formal picture ideas?

Next Saturday, ironically my parent's wedding anniversary, FI and I are going to meet with our officiant for the first time. We will hopefully get a good understanding of what the ceremony will be like, and possibly even decide on some readings.  We are really trying to keep it to under 20 minutes, so I really hope that he is able to accomplish that.

Lastly, I would really like to try to get the rag rug done, but I know that it is such low priority compared to everything else on the To-Do List.

Lots and lots to do - thankfully I have my mom and my sister up here now to lend a hand. I think it's finally time to ask for help, what do you think?

Only 1 Month Away!!

I can't believe that we are at the one month mark already!!

The big day is fast approaching, and if you take a look at my To-Do List, things are being crossed off, just not as quickly as I had hoped they would be.  Then again, I also thought we'd be in our house by now, but we're not. Surprise, surprise.

But, with meetings scheduled with vendors, and some projects to complete (and begin!) we're going to be really busy for the next 30 days!

What's your countdown?

A Pretty Significant Point

We've reached the 6 month mark!

Most of the wedding to-do lists have a lot of things to cover between this point and the wedding day, and I am so excited to finally be able to start working on some more significant items for our wedding.  Oh, and in case you haven't noticed, I've added a To-Do List page, where I will be crossing items off, and linking them to posts that I've written. This will hopefully keep you updated, and is an easier way for you to find a past post of mine, since it somewhat categorized them.

There's only one thing holding me back.  School.

I only have 12 more days left in this semester before all my assignments are due (and no finals!!!) so I have to really focus on that for the next almost two weeks, and then I can start giving the wedding a bit more attention.

This weekend we are probably going to go suit shopping for the Mr., since Men's Wearhouse is having their BOGO sale.  If we do, I'll be sure to get some pictures, even though FI will likely want any taken.

In One Year

Today is October 6, 2011.  One year from today will be our wedding day.

FI,

I cannot wait to stand up in front of our guests and proclaim my love to you. These last almost six years have been a beautiful journey, and I cannot wait to make it even more special by becoming your wife.

I love you!


On a less mushy and serious note, HOLY COW! One year from today, I will be getting married!  That means that the countdown on my phone (What, you DON'T have one? Yeah, right!) will finally read under 365 days!

But, that also means that I really have to get cracking on all these DIY projects I have planned.  Yikes!
