WEDDING WEEK COMMENCES!

It's finally here and I am so excited! After having a rough couple of weeks - for many reasons - the week of the wedding has finally arrived and at this moment I am NOT stressed and am totally excited!! We drove up to Raleigh yesterday and are staying at Jason's parents early this week. We spent the whole day relaxing and sunning by the pool and then went to see the Hangover tonight. (I mean ... there's a jungle cat in the bathroom!!!) So we are doing pretty good. Tomorrow I will hopefully get to see two of my lovely bridesmaids who came in early (Yay Crystal and Jess!) and then running errands. We need to deliver final checks to the vendors and print the programs. And if we get those things done -- we will be set! Oh yeah, and we have to get our marriage liscence too :) Don't want to forget that!

I will try to keep you all updated this week! And to bring it back to where this whole crazy thing started ... the night we got engaged at Canoe!

6 days!!!!

Two weeks from tomorrow ...

I'll be a married woman. In the words of Joey Lawrence: Whoa.

At the beginning of this week I was totally fine. I mean not fine because I am getting over a nasty cold, but not freaking out about everything I have left to do. But then it caught up with me today. I don't know why I'm getting so worked up - bottom line is that the wedding can happen and I not do another thing. That's a pretty good feeling. Yet I can't leave it at that. I realized that I really have no vision for my centerpieces and that I just have a random collection of candleholders that I have no idea how they will go together. I just this morning ordered the bridesmaids shoes. And I have all these cute ideas for gifts for them, but I haven't actually done anything about it. I just get so annoyed with myself sometime as to how I let my thoughts run away with me, but then no actions follow. And as you can tell by the time of this post, my worries have led to insomnia. I cannot get to sleep, but once I finally do, I can NOT wake up in the morning - therefore wasting my whole day when I could be productive.

So, I am going to try my very best to keep things in perspective. The wedding will go on. And it will be wonderful. I can not do anything else and it will be just fine. I get the things on my to-do list done, and if I don't, it probably wasn't that important. In two weeks, I get to have a moment that I will never again have in my whole life --- every person in the world that I love dearly will be in the room celebrating with me at the same time. I am sooooooo excited for all the events and time we have planned to spend with our guests, that once Thursday gets here, it will be all fun and laughs and love from there on out. And most importantly - I get to finally marry the person I love more than anything. I cannot wait. BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!


And to remind me of why we are doing this whole crazy thing ....
