Hello 2011!!!

Goodbye 2010, Hello 2011!!!

Can you believe I will be married this year?!?!?! WOW. What an awesome feeling. I have SO much to do between now and May 21st. But I also must say that I have gotten alot done as well...

A few weeks ago I picked up my dress!!!!! Let me just tell you, that was the most excited I have been about wedding stuff since the day I got engaged. I had all these fears that I would not like the dress, it wouldnt fit, I would have second thoughts, etc. But I put the dress on at the shop, it fit me perfectly, and I loved it even MORE than the day I picked it out! I am STOKED!! It needs minor alterations, as most all dresses do, but other than that, its ready to rock and roll!!

I have been working on invitations alot longer than I want to admit. It has been by far the LEAST fun thing to work on. There are so many etiquette rules you are supposed to follow, and wording you're supposed to use, and design options, and this and that. I got my final sample in the mail last week and luckily I am really happy with it. They will be ready to be printed as soon as I can finalize the direction card. Stupid construction on I-75 is throwing a wrench in my original directions....

Mike got me a nice computer printer for Christmas so I have been using it to experiment with a few DIY wedding projects. Mom is excited to be able to help with some of those as well so I am happy to have an extra hand!

On our final day of winter vacation, Mike and I went to James Free and ordered my wedding ring and I purchased his wedding band. That didnt take long at all but at least its something else thats done and off the list.

We left there and went to Bed, Bath, & Beyond to start our registry. Holy WOW. Who knew it would be so draining to pick out stuff that you want??!! LOL! Trying to agree on what stuff to scan, what color, what style, etc. 3 hours later, we were finally out of there. Geesh.

Although I can't believe 2011 is here, I know its going to fly. With 2 of my good friends getting married around the same time as we are, we have bridal showers, bachelor parties, and weddings out the yin yang! I just need to remember to breathe deep, take time to relax and take it all in, and enjoy it :-)
