Can't We just get Married Already!!!

It's just been one of those weeks ya' know... where you're going nuts about everything and truly just want to be married! To be with the one that you love.

I'm feeling EXACTLY like that!

I just want it to be the weekend already. Things feel like they're moving too slow.

We are going to be getting a lot done this weekend. We're going to measure/size the men for tuxes. That should be fun! I'm also hoping to get some wedding jewelry this weekend. I'm taking Bridal Portraits April 4th and want to have the jewelry before then... but... the next few weekends are PACKED!

Feb. 28th: Guys Tuxes/Jewelry...

March 7th: 2nd Fitting, mom's friend coming in town, maybe look at more jewelry

March 14th: (first weekend of spring break. I always call it spring break, no i'm not in school, but my brother is...): I WAS going to go skiing with the family... but I've been told I can't get off of work - bummer :(

March 21st: (last weekend of spring break) have no idea... but something's probably going to pop up

March 28th/29th: SHOWER!!!

April 4th/5th: BRIDAL PORTRAITS

So, as you can see... not much time to get my jewelry before April 4th.

Anybody have any luck finding their jewelry... where did you look? online? did you go to a certain store and find lots of selections, or any great deals??

Can't we just get married already :)

3 months and apartments...

OH MY GOODNESS!

It is so crazy to see an 8 in front - meaning 89 days until THE day! It's truly coming quickly. Exactly 3 months! AHHHH I'm so ready!

D and I will live together for the first time after we marry. We would not have it ANY other way... we have never lived together. I know that's not the "norm" now-a-days, but, it's something that we believe in and God has truly blessed us with.

Well, I've been stressing on the money front... but, again, God has blessed us and we are truly thankful!

We went to look at apartments on Saturday. We set out thinking we'd spend 2 hours looking at about 4 different places. Well, we went to 1 PLACE! We decided it was definitely for us. They have a great deal going on right now (again, God blessed us as I was worrying about finances) and we are more than happy. We will lease it starting beginning of May. That way we can start moving/setting things up... D will live there until I move in after the wedding - then we will BOTH live there!

When we were looking it just kept getting more and more surreal - like, this is SERIOUSLY happening... it is almost here!

Dress Fittings & Showers!

Why haven't I blogged about this. This should have been the first thing I talked about this week! I don't know where my head was. So, here we go...

I had my very FIRST dress fitting on V-Day. I was so excited to go... but it soon faded when I realized how much alterations are!!! gees! I was also told I needed to wear a bustier... which I wasn't planning on. Now, I had to buy yet something else... oh well... I know it's going to fit like a glove!

The excitement also faded because I am self-conscious in one area of my body. It's nothing I can really change... it is the way I am... uh ummm - you know - the girls :) I was just really blessed and I dont really like it. But, hey God made me this way and I shouldn't complain. But, regardless, I'm self-conscious and kept thinking that it showed to much and I didn't like it. So, I was a little frustated about that.

I hope that when I go next (March 7) that I will feel a lot better about it all! I love my dress - don't get me wrong... just wish my body worked the way I wanted it to (up there) :)

Ok - enough of that nonsense.

Our church has planned us a shower - my very FIRST shower - for March 29th! I CANNOT WAIT!

We're meeting with a possible DJ tomorrow - I really hope it works out.

In 3 weekends I think (the same weekend I do my next fitting) we're going to have the men measure for tuxes - that's exciting! we'll probably also do a tasting soon and block rooms for OOT guests.

I'm also working on invitation wording for our invitations and should get those MARCH 10th - it is coming ladies!!! AHHH!

So, here's where I'm at:
- Feb. 18: send invitation wording
- Feb 19: DJ meeting
- March 7: fitting
- March 7: tuxes
- March 7/8: tasting
- March 7/8: block OOT guest rooms at hotel
- March 10: receive invitations!
- March 29: Shower
- April 4: Bridal Portraits!!!!

I need to look for a "going-away" dress while I'm at it :)

I'll leave you with this:
