is this crunch time????

Today at 3 p.m. we will be 63 days away from WEDDING DAY.

We've accomplished a lot of things but at the same time we have SO MUCH to do.

I was reminded by my BFF/ maid of honor that this is crunch time. Sunday will be the 2 month mark.

2 months. oh man. I should have done things a bit differently. Like made a game plan from the get go. But I didn't.

This is what I gathered from our conversation last night. I need to do the following

1. Get bra and slip
2. pick a hair style
3. make dress appointment so i can get my alterations started.
4. send out invites (would be going out today  but I'm still waiting for one last detail)
5. buy shoes
6. guys need to go for their tux fittings
7. Finish centerpieces thankfully I unloaded my maid of honor is helping with that
8. Figure out who will be walking me down

#8 has been a thorn in my side since Jeremy uttered the words "will you marry me". Conversations with my mom have consisted of "Have you decided yet" "What are you going to do" "You aren't replacing your dad" "You need to figure it out, you don't have much time" "If it's not your brother you need to give the person time to get a tux" "I told the minster you need to talk about this" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Last night my BFF/maid of honor said "Have you decide who's going to walk you down yet, cause it's crunch time Amy"

My answer every time is I'm not concerned about it. Not because it's to hard for me to deal with....don't get me wrong it breaks my heart that my dad isn't here, but since he can't do it I don't really care. i don't have a strong feeling towards who i want to do it. My brother is already in the wedding so he can do it. my uncle is the only other person I would consider asking but honestly it doesn't matter to me anymore. No one can replace my Dad, so I don't care who does it. I love my brother and my uncle so either would be great for me. But I don't have a preference. So i wish they would just figure it out on their own.

Other stuff we need to do

1. Buy candy, bags and containers for the candy bar.
2. Take Scott to pick out the sand we need for the sand ceremony.
3. find a hair dresser.
4. go shopping with mom for her dress
5. put together favor type things
6. order flowers
7. get grooms gift
8. grooms cake
9. SHIT!!!!!! That's a lot of stuff

SMILE!!

So we had our first real family photo taken. We have a few candid shots of Jeremy, Scott and myself, but it;s nice to have a real family photo. We also got a few shots of Scott alone and then with each of us. All in All they turned out very nicely. Enjoy

 Scott and I. I really like this picture :)

He seems so grown up in this picture. this was my favorite of him by his self.

My Top 6

I picked the easy peasy topic today

The 6 best things about being an ADULT.

Hmmm...... adult suddenly sounds to grown up a word to describe myself.......but a las at 30 I'm pretty much past the "social acceptable" age to be a KID.

So my top 6 things about being an adult are (drum roll please) bbabdabhaahhadhadhammm

6. I can watch rated R movies......without needing to be accompanied to the theater.

5. I wont hear any lectures that start out "As long as you live in my house......" until further down the road when I'm USING it to brow beat my children into compliance.

4. I never liked cleaning my room anyway. Thank goodness that's a thing of the past.

3.You wont believe the weird stuff that's on tv at 4 a.m.

2. Sometimes after a long hard day it's nice to kick back, put my feet up on the table and sip on a nice cold beer...........some how an apple juice box just never did the trick for me.

And the #1 thing about being an adult..........as told to me one evening by my 9 year old cousin......brace yourself.

1. "You mean to tell me you can have ice cream for dinner and hash browns for desert and it's ok......You don't even have to ask your mom???!!!"

That's right I don't even have to ask my mom........you should have saw her poor young face when i said "Yup, and I can stay home....all by myself and do whatever I want!"

It was almost earth shattering for her!

So swing over and see what everyone else at Mama Kat's page.

Time is ticking down

WOW 77 days!

77 DAYS!

77 DAYS!!!!!

When did that happen. I have soooooo much to do. SO MUCH.

Things to do yet

1. Buy wedding shoes
2. schedule first dress fit (way behind on that)
3. Get officiant ASAP
4. Finish putting programs together
5. Meet with photographer (thankfully she works with me so we get to talk whenever)
6. Order Flowers
7. Figure out center pieces and get on that for sure
8. Figure out ceremony decorations

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Deep breaths, deep breaths, OK count slower from 10.. 10, 9, 8, 7..........77 days to go AHHH.

My cake server came today in the mail. I order a gift for my mom and the flower girls and picked up a few things online for the reception. I'm going ot give myself a good freak out.....I'm checking the "to do list" in my weddings binder!

Step right up....pick a cake......any cake! No really PLEASE!

So we have our meeting this Saturday with the nice people at the venue for our wedding. We need to give them our food choices, alcohol choices...etc.

So we picked out what we wanted. Well most of what we wanted. My wonderful soon to be husband likes one style of cake and I like a different style. We know we aren't using fondant. while it looks pretty it's not really that great. So butter cream ALL the way for us. We know the flavors we want so it's just the style and design. Here are the two we are down to at the moment.

Option 1

His pick. I don't know why but he's been talking about the whole ribbon the cake style right from Jump Street. Yeah it's nice (remember butter cream icing not this fake smooth fondant) We wouldn't use the pearls. but the flowers on the side could stay and we have a cool topper. it's OK, but I've seen these EVERYWHERE lately.

Option 2

My choice. I think it's very pretty and different. I'm not dumb i realize this one would be SUPER easy to mess up and it could be a disaster but it's still so COOL.

Apparently I'm the only one in the WORLD because everyone else likes option 1. grrr.

Might have to rock, paper, scissor it on Saturday.
