Too Good Not to Share

I got a fun little package in the mail today from Heather Is Crafty, a pretty fantastic Etsy seller. She made us 1,000 adorable little buttons to pass out at the reception. I am sooo oooooo excited for these!



Cameo by the e-ring :)

My Last Monday at Work as a Single Gal

wooooooooo! That's the thought that got me out of bed when the alarm went off this A.M.

And how precious is this? If I had about 28 more little girls in my family, I would totally rock this. Adorable.



From Southern Weddings. One of my favs.

Happy Monday to all!

Sunday Sevens

1. We have a first dance song. Finally.

2. My dad wants to dance to three songs for the Father Daughter Dance. So now I am trying to splice these three together. It reminds me of my drill team days... splicing songs.

3. Did you know there is a new Baby Sitter Club book?!? It just came out in April and it's a prequel to the series. O. M. Geeeee. I will have to grab this one.

4. Hobby Lobby is closed on Sundays. Who knew? Guess I'm heading to Michael's today!

5. I ate four bowls of Honey Nut Cheerios yesterday.

6. In four days, we'll be able to officially check the weather for the wedding day. I don't think I'll even bother.. I'm pretty sure it's going to be HOT.

7. I'm off to Mark's office for the afternoon. He's working, so I figured I'd keep him company and work on programs from there!

Happy end of the weekend!

Details, Details, Details...

I just got back from Hobby Lobby (yes, again) where all their frames were half off! Woo! So I grabbed me a bunch and set out to make some little signs to set out at the wedding. Remember where I was self-teaching myself Adobe Illustrator? Well I finally figured out how to add some text and then how to save a file as a PDF, so I'm in business now. I'll just sneak some of these out on the office printer tomorrow and we'll be in business!



This sign will be for our favors. Which just might be my most favorite part of the wedding. I used the template my sister made for the invitations, so everything matches. Imagine that! It's like I do this stuff on purpose or something...

Hi Internets! *wave*

Well.. I'm back. For now, at least. The wedding is a mere 18 days away. Whoa. I can't believe our countdown is a) in the double digits, much less b) starting with the number one. (!!) I go from being beyond excited that It's here!! to being sick to my stomach that.... ohmygosh. people are going to come. what if they don't have a good time?! One thing's for sure. I know I am ready to marry this boy and start this new life together.

With the countdown dropping and my To Do List staring me in the face, I find myself trying to speed-learn adobe illustrator, bargain with Mark to add one more detail, tie a bow that doesn't look limp and lifeless and finally read the fine print on all our vendor contracts (what do you mean we can't bring our own chairs to the reception site?! [mini heart attack follows.]) I am putting out fires with some wacky small-town church ladies, making the trip to Hobby Lobby for the 14th time this week and waking up in the middle of the night thinking "what if the piano player doesn't know our version of this-and-that song?!?"

The closer it gets, the more surreal it feels. I'm used to going to other people's weddings. I can't even imagine what it's going to be like to be my wedding. Will everything get done between now and then? Probably not. But that's okay. Because even if every pew doesn't have a pomander on it, or if every table doesn't have a candle on it, or if every person doesn't leave with a program, at the end of the day, I'll still get to be a wife. A wife. Wow.
