Making Progress!

Well, there is still a lot of wedding plans to finish, but I finally feel like I'm making progress! haha!
Me and my mom went today to meet with our florist, ( LOVE the florist too! His name is Martin @ Jimmy's Floral in Layton/Ogden, you have to request him, otherwise he doesn't normally do weddings, which I don't know why, he is AMAZING!)
- first of all he kept complimenting me, he loved my eyes, haha, and he was certain James and I would have cute kids! hahah... (hey, compliments are always nice to hear! lol)
- second, he knows everything, we ended up asking him for advice on the cake, the photographer, and many un-floral related wedding things hahah! It was great, and he was just fun! So use him for sure when you need flowers, plus I felt like once we picked the flowers, he could just put it together and make it amazing, so I'm just not even worried!

*I totally thought we would be asked what flowers we wanted and then for the florist to be like "okay so how do you want them?!"... umm...not sure thats why you are the florist! hellooo... I just want them to look pretty! LOL and I had no idea what I wanted... and I have spent HOURS trying to decide incase thats what happened! Luckily it worked out great!

We also had my first fitting for my dress last week, so the second fitting is coming up! YAY!

We still need to officially book a photographer lol... but we are getting there!

James and I also narrowed down honeymoon ideas, and set up our "group" for the tuxes and picked out the tuxes, and all that fun stuff!

And.. I finished designing my invites with Lindsay @ nonsensicalinvites.com! YAY I love them! We just have to make sure on the times and then we can print them! :)

We even have cute frames too for the reception to put some engagements and bridals in! so the extra decorations are all done too!

I'm getting so excited! I can hardly wait! I think its about 50 days now!
(we even have dates for the bridal showers! yay!) I'm excited for that too, I'm gonna be like a little kid at christmas, getting all that fun stuff for our own place! haha!

p.s. I'm sorry my posts are just about wedding planning right now, but it pretty much consumes my life at the moment, other wise I just work! hahah. But at least in a month or two I will have a ton of pictures to post to make up for my long posts without any pics!

67 days and counting!!!

I can't believe how soon it seems like our wedding day is... it has taken forver to feel this way! And now... well I'm starting to feel a little overwhelmed! hahah! 2 months and 8 days is going to go by so fast!

I still have to:

• book a photographer
• make a complete guest list
• get addresses
• finish designing my invites with Lindsay Wall (YAY!) ... they are going to be so cute! :)
• send out invites after typing in addresses and printing labels
• try on my dress & do alterations ... (p.s. it came in 3 weeks early! yay!)
• bridals
• figure out where we are going to live... yeah, we aren't sure yet.. hoping we can get into a house! We will see!
• and then all the other little things, changing my last name for bills, etc. and getting our own car insurance, getting stuff ready so I can be on his medical/dental insurance, bridal showers, etc.!

I'm way excited for all of this but wow.. its still alot to do! hahah. I'm really feeling relieved that I decided to take this semester off. I did that because I'm not totally sure if I want to continue the degree I started working on, or if I want to find something else. I just wasn't loving it. I mean... its school, and I have never been a fan lol... but I just don't find it as interesting as I thought I would, and I'm just not sure if the jobs it could get me are what I want, or if it gives me that many career choices. So I decided some time off would be beneficial to my sanity! :) haha. I hope I can decide soon what I want to do, but for now I have a lot of other things to worry about, especially if we can/ decide to try and get into a house by the end of april for the tax credit deadline.

Anyways, 2010 is off to a pretty good start and I have a feeling it will be a great year! :) I can't wait!
