It's starting to sink in now....

Well Chris and I officially finished out marriage prep class with the church and stuff. I feel like it is all going to be here so quick. According to the church, we are now prepared to walk down the aisle. :-) We were given a lot of great information and tools to success. I think that we are going to have a good solid base to start our lives on. But I am not going to lie, the nerves are starting get me. I get excited one minute, and then the next I get nervous thinking about all the things that I just want to go right so that the day is amazing.

And on an even better note, our dumb roommate has officially packed up half his stuff and started to get the hell out of our space. I am thrilled about that, Chris and I are finally going to get to be a couple and not have to worry about what we say or how we act underneath our own roof. We are finally going to have a HOME for us to live in and start our lives. We bought the most awesome bedroom set for an early wedding present to ourselves. I can't wait for it to get here (this weekend) because it is going to give us sooooooo much storage for all our (ok, maybe my) stuff. We aren't going to have to shove stuff in corners and let things just pile up everywhere because they don't have a real home. As soon as that comes in and we get that put together we will get to move back into our master bedroom. Which also means, we are finally going to have a guest bedroom for all our wonderful friends who want to come over here and drink cocktails and not have to worry about driving home. That will be nice. And the best part about our dumb roommate moving out is that I will no longer have to clean up after his stinky, dirty, disrespectful ass. I am so tired of putting his dishes away and cleaning his bathroom just so that the house is presentable when someone decides to come over and visit.

Well that's about all I have for today, just waiting for my dear friend to call and tell me to rush to the hospital to see my nephew Colin :-) I guess I am going to go lay down and watch some TV now, so I hope that I will have something fun to talk about again soon.

Getting prepared......

Well i am going to keep this one short and sweet.......chris and i sat down tonight and started discussing some pretty in-depth topics preparing for our marriage retreat we are going to be attending ALL day on saturday. It is going to be at the church we are going to be getting married at and i am pretty excited now. I think we are going to be a much more knowledgeable and we rounded couple come sunday. I am going to go into with a completely open mind and plan to take a ton of information away from it. I have got my little binder together with tons of paper to take notes in and plan to take lots of pink and black pens with me to ensure that i don't miss one single tid bit of information. :-) So come saturday at 8:00am everyone cross your fingers for me and maybe sunday i will be teaching someone close to me the wonderful information i am going to absorb. And on that note, i am now going to watch American Idol group night!!

Time is ticking away......

Well it is official.....the clock is ticking down so quickly as I fast approach my wedding day. I have finally been able to complete all the little creative projects i created for myself. I am so happy with how everything has turned out and can't wait to be able to share all of them with everyone in my life. I chose to take a tremendous amount of time, effort, and thought to make my wedding day as personal as i possibly could, without completely killing myself. If it has paper on it, in it, or around it I made it. I figured this way if something wasn't exactly the way i had imagined i would have no one to blame but myself. :-)

As for the most important parts that all the guests are going to be concerned about are done as well. We are going to have a fabulous caterer (from my graduation party for those of you who were able to enjoy the food then), the cake is going to be delightful (white w/ strawberry and chocolate w/ toffee and chocolate mousse), and i have decided to create a fun candy bar for you all to be able to take home some of our favorite candies. I saw that in some bridal magazines and fell in love with the idea. So we will see how it all comes out.

Before i know it i am going to be meeting my mom at the post office to send out all the bridal shower and wedding invitations. We only have 87 days left until the big day. It is finally starting to sink in that i am going to be a married woman soon. I have days where i am so excited, then i have some where i am completely nervous, then days where i am scared, then days where i am just content. It is a weird cycle of emotions that i am experiencing, but i know that as time gets closer i am going to mellow out and be just fine. I will begin to completely surround myself with friends, family, and loved ones so that i can keep myself sane.

When i am excited and sharing all of that with those around me, i can only hope that all those that are going to be part of my big day are just as happy for me and they are to be part of it. I want everyone to look back on my special day and have great, fun, and everlasting memories just as Chris and I will.

SO the countdown is continuing and if i start to freak out please just remind me that it is only one day of the rest of my life and that i am crazy. :-) I love you all and can't wait to keep you all posted on the upcoming events and landmark moments.
