Merry Christmas!

How's this Christmas treating everyone? I love being able to be home and relax. I went to bed at 8:30 last night...innnncredible. Slept until 7:15 the next morning and I plan on repeating the same schedule sometime soon. Getting old, haha. Guess that's what turning 22 will do to you.

Tomorrow the whole gang of us will be heading up to Grandma's house. We haven't been up there in a couple of years, so I'm looking forward to it. Seriously, though, this eating thing has to stop. I'll never get into that wedding dress in two months.

Eloping is looking better than ever. Weddings are a pain. I just want to get married to the man I love and enjoy my day. The end. Every other little detail is unnecessary and too expensive.

My Wedding Site

My brother is incredible and put together a site (click here) for our wedding. It looks great, and soon will have some more information on it for you to enjoy!

School is keeping me very busy, but I am attempting to find a part-time job for the rest of the year as well, so if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I played some IM volleyball last night. That was a lot of fun! It's been a while since I have been able to play. The teams weren't very good, but I got to hit once and just touching a volleyball again was nice.

Christmas break is in two weeks, which I'm really looking forward to! I haven't finished my shopping yet, darn it. And I think it's only one or two more gifts, but still...I think some people enjoy finding gifts for other people, but for me it's kind of stressful. I love to give gifts, but only if I am sure they will love what I'm giving them.

We booked the White Chapel and the Ohio Building and photographer are almost booked, and we meet with the caterer on Sunday to finalize the food and cake with her. Then over the rest of the weekend we are hoping to register and possibly find wedding bands as well. :) Exciting stuff, we'll be keeping busy! I'll try to post more later, maybe with pictures.

Here's a summery one. Mm, Florida!

!!!!!!

I have a dress!!!!!

That's all.

December Already?!

Time is flying by. School makes it seem reeeeally slow sometimes, but wedding plans make it seem like I don't have time for anything and tomorrow is always here before I'm ready for it. I think I kind of like things this way. I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off, but I'm certainly not bored!

We have locations for the ceremony and reception booked, invitations bought, the invitation list almost complete, tuxes ordered, and a caterer almost booked. I have another photographer meeting on Thursday and tomorrow I will be going wedding dress/bridesmaid dress shopping. This weekend we will be placing a flower order and designing the bouquets/corsages/boutonnieres, as well as addressing invitations. Our program is almost done and we have ideas for entertaining people at the reception...our wedding music is coming together as well.

Things are really happening! It's exciting and can be lots of fun. I just need to remember that when things get stressful. If school didn't feel the need to butt in on my plans, things would be fine and dandy.

I am still looking for full-time employment after graduation and part-time employment for the rest of the school year. If anyone hears of any openings, let me know! Thanks for all the support. I'll see some of you this weekend. Later!
