27 days and counting!

Lots going on! Lots going on!!!

Since I wrote last.... let's see...it's hard to keep up with what I have not written and what I have...

I know that the guys have been taken care of....they are all fitted for everything from their head to their toes and all they have to do is go pick it all up!

I have had some great showers and everyone has been wonderful! At school, my best friend and the Pre-K staff hosted a BEAUTIFUL and very classy shower there for me and I got a ton of neat stuff from my co-workers who are simply--the BEST!

Danny and I had a special dinner with some of his family. They bought dinner for us and gave us an awesome gift! Thanks April, Judi, & Bill! :-)

And one of my bridesmaids Lindsey hosted a beautiful shower at her house for me just last weekend. Can't say enough about my girls. They have just spoiled me rotten. he he he!

My dress and Kathryn's dress is being altered...and we're going to pick them up on March 24th.

I've got all my beauty appointments made....hair styles, slender wrap, nails, toes, eyebrows...and WHATEVER ELSE!!! :-)

I got my home-made wedding programs finished and I am very proud of them. I don't think they look like I did them at all...you'll have to judge for yourself.

Danny and I completed our wedding song vocals at the studio a couple of weekends ago. I think we are going to be pleased with it. It's not perfect...*GASP* :-) but for it to only be played at the wedding and then just a family keepsake...it will definitely do.

This past Monday, mom and I took a shopping trip together and she bought me some items for my wedding events. A black and white polka dotted dress for the bachelorette party and a pink blouse for the bridesmaids luncheon. Even found a pretty aqua ruffled blouse for the night of the rehearsal.

I finished putting together my wedding guide. Which includes all the documents I have composed, the 3 page agenda, a sample wedding program, a wedding contact list with all phone numbers and info on everyone involved, a processional overview document, a reception agenda, a photographer outline, a copy of the ceremony, and a 4 1/2 page DJ instruction list. :-) I feel sorry for Dave.

I had a meeting with the two ladies at Oakhurst this week that will be handling my event. I must say, they were the first folks to be pleased and overjoyed with seeing this "wedding guide" rather than just calling me crazy. :-) I felt proud...and they both seem like sweet ladies (Kristin & Maggie) and seem to really care whether or not my day is special. I felt as though I could relax a little more after I met with them.

I look one last look at the Oakhurst reception hall...spinning around in a full circle imagining my tables all decorated...and I could almost hear the music and laughter. I looked out at the bridge and gazebo knowing that the next time I'd be coming back to be married!

It felt extremely official when Kristin turned to write me in on the Oakhurst agenda board in the office...I think I squealed with glee! It's almost here!

Yesterday I bought some frames for my reserved signs... and I went to the mall to purchase the remaining make up items I still needed.

I am daily opening up reply cards and so I look forward to going to the mailbox! It is really a lot of fun. I made a YES and NO box and we are keeping a close watch on the guest list!

Everything is slowly coming together and I am starting to think that I may have everything paid for and maybe have some left over this month for groceries, praise the Lord! HA HA!!!!

I'll try to write back soon! It's hard being a busy bride....but pretty soon my main focus will be getting beauty rest, trying not to injure myself before the wedding (I'm SO paranoid about that), and more than anything just trying to soak in every moment!

Next big event: March 19th The LINGERIE shower @ Kylie's house :-)
