Day 31

Well, we went out today and bought our rings. And after three hours of looking and comparing, we chose them. =) I don't have a picture of Myles's, since they are bringing in two more from another store so he can choose which one (er, diamonds), he likes the best. And mine, well, Myles basically chose it for me, and it's AMAZING.

The only part that sucks about it? I just got a fantastic new ring that looks wonderful with my killer engagement ring, and I can't freaking wear it for another month. LOL Yeah, that kinda blows. Myles's is similar to mine, only his is bigger, cuz, well, he's a guy. If he wore something the exact same as mine, he'd look pretty effeminate. That's just no good for me.

And in other wedding news, well, there is none. We've been busy lately and we haven't really done anything, but we know we have to get it done and it's all good. Nothing too major to do other than meet with some people, order a few things and so on and so forth.

Day Thirty-Something

Okay, I'm not re-doing it, so everyone go here for the post for today. =)

Day 38

As the wedding day and festivities get closer, I'm pretty much doing at least something wedding related every day. =) Yesterday it was getting some invites ready for Myles to take to work this morning and going over some RSVP stuffs. And we've also been in cleaning/project mood this week to get ready for Saturday. We don't really need to do any cleaning and such, since we're not filthy pigs, it just gives us an excuse to get things done that we normally wouldn't...like putting chair rail up and getting the carpets cleaned. =) Oh, and Myles cleaning his office. LOL It's his man cave, so I never say anything about it, but I LOVE it when he cleans it all up nice. hahah.

So much for which day it is

I've sucked lately at keeping this up, mostly because we've had so much going on. This weekend has been all about wedding stuff actually, in some form or another. We've been working on getting some home improvement projects done before Saturday so we don't have a bunch of unfinished stuff. =) I'm moved into my office and the chair rail will be going up one night this week, so that's all done. It's really nice to have everything in one place, all of my reference books and all that good stuff. I've been needing to seperate work from everything else anyway. Writing and editing is always done in front of the TV and that's no good. So, from now on, that's no longer an issue. I'll be holed up in my office most of the time, and I'm okay with that. It's MUCH less distracting this way.

Misty and I headed down to South Bend on Saturday for my final dress fitting. It went great! =) Much better than I had anticipated, and a lot cheaper than we had thought it would be, too. The dress zipped up fine, but I ended up having them take out a half an inch on both sides of my ribcage justs so I could breathe a little easier. I'm sure I'm going to want to be able to take deep breaths on the day of the wedding. LOL I'll have to actually go back on Wednesday October 1 to try it on and pick it up, which kind of sucks, but, oh well. =P I'll get to have $1 margaritas with Mom and Dad afterward. I'll just stay the night and drive to work in the morning.

The rest of the wedding stuff is pretty much done, just a few straggling RSVPs that I need to get, of people that I know for a fact will be in the wedding, because, well, they're in it. LOL I need to send an email out to my bridesmaids about some final things, but that's no big deal. We need to make the programs and order the cardstock for the place cards, since the color of the card will determine for the waiters/waitresses what entree that person is eating. It'll be much easier for them that way. And fear not, we're not seating anyone other than a few tables up front by the head table for the spouses and children of people in the wedding, and our parents and my grandparents. Everyone else can sit where they want. =)

We're getting down to the wire here, but there's really not that much to do. I can't believe my bridal shower is this Saturday. Unbelievable!

I still have to think about bridesmaid gifts, too, but I'm just not sure what to do about that. The only person I know what I'm absolutely going to do for is Misty. Finding a gift to get four other people is difficult, since it's hard to choose one that that everyone will like and won't shove in a drawer or throw away when they get home. I've seen a lot of things I like, but I'm not sure everyone else would like, but it's not like I have $100 per person to spend. So, we'll see what happens. Just not sure.

Day 51 - 47

Amazingly enough, I haven't been consumed with wedding stuffs. The only thing I did was cancel our DJ so that Jason, Misty's cousin, can DJ for us. I'd rather have someone I know do it. And it's a bonus that we're friends with him. I sat down last night to get him the information he needs about the big day, songs lists, people, etc. All of the pertinent stuff. I'm really needing to sit down and go over my To Do lists and see what all I can get done this week, since from here on out I'm sure things are going to be pretty hectic. This coming weekend is my final dress fitting, the weekend after that is my bridal shower, and the rest of september is shaping up to be darn busy, too. Then comes the first two weeks of October, which are jam packed for me.

I'm crossing my fingers about the dress this weekend. I've really been watching what I eat and trying to do some back exercises to work on the back flab. LOL That's what's making me unable to take a deep breath. It zips fine, I just have to be able to breathe in the damn thing. I've been wanting to go on walks with Myles, but we've just been so busy that it hasn't happened. So, cross your fingers for me!

Day 52

I got a few wedding things done today, but nothing major. Myles and I got Stephanie's dress sent out to her in Hawaii. She should get it on Thursday. And a piece of advice...only send VERY SMALL THINGS to Hawaii. Like, um, cards and letters. LOL Anywho...The cake topper also came in yesterday. It's very Myles and Tera. LOL I let Myles pick it out since he's kind of been in charge of the cake, since he's always had a very specific idea of what he wants. The cake of all things is what he's picky about. *shrug* Odd to me, but, hey, it's his wedding too. =)

I meant to get the DJ info out to Jason last night, but we ran a few errands and after I got home and get dinner made and out of the way, it was pushing 8:30, and I had to call my dad. =) Last night was his very last night of school. He has his MBA now!! That is so awesome and I'm so proud of him. When Mom and Dad are up for the 6th and we go out, we'll have more to celebrate!!! This is a huge accomplishment for him, and I just thinks it's really awesome. =)

Day 53

Today ended up being a crazy day. I won't go into details. At one point, I was starting to get an email done to send to Jason about the deets for DJing the wedding and reception, but then Misty decided to leave again, so that idea flew out the window. =) Other than that, nothing. Oh, wait, I got a couple of RSVPs in the mail and logged them into the spreadsheet. =) And that's it.
