50 days until the wedding....
It's been super rainy here and we are sick of it! Cold and rainy makes it hard to get up in the morning!
Everything is going great with us! It's been 2 weeks since I posted, and still nothing much has changed!
RSVPs are slowing down-so send them in!!! Also-the wedding block prices will end May 17th-so get your room ASAP if you want one.
We have our appointment with the pastor in 2 weeks and that will help us finalize plans such as what the day of the wedding will look like and allow us to work on our programs.
We are working on the loose ends now: paying off all the vendors (only the flowers left!) buying ceremony decor, and gifts for attendants.
Blake's side of the family is having a shower a week from Saturday. We are super excited to spend time with them and celebrate :)
My work is throwing me a shower next Wednesday which will be a lot of fun as well!
Sorry for the boring posts-just not too much going on right now!

Bridal Shower Weekend :)
64 days to go....
I can't believe that my bridal shower has come and gone. It was the most beautiful day and celebration I could have ever asked for. It was such a special time to see my friends and family. Even my sister flew up :) Pictures to come soon!
I wish I had lots to update but it's been a slower time the last few weeks. RSVPs are coming in so we have been working on those! Also, we are working on putting away the wonderful gifts we received. Which, of course, entails thank you cards! Which is where we have been working hard!
All but one bridesmaids dress is in, so a trip to Lake Geneva to pick them up with be happening soon.
Sorry for the boring, nothing super new post! Lots should be picking up soon. Please be praying for my Uncle-he has been on and off life support.
Yay for Friday tomorrow!

My dreams have turned to good!
76 days left!!!!!
For the last year, I've had terrible wedding dreams: my stepdad pushing me down the aisle, me wearing blue jeans, forgetting to do my hair and make-up. One after another...but last night it was a GREAT dream. Everything turned out great :) So glad I got to wake up that way!
Dinner has been picked. It will remain a surprise :) It won't be anything wedding cliche- no chicken marsala or cream of mushroom soup!
The next step is the cake. We know the flavor and what we want, we just have to pick the design- super easy right? NOT! I was all ready on Wednesday to pick one out of a book but the options were endless!
One more week until my first shower, I can hardly believe it. We are excited to celebrate with our friends and family. My sister is even flying in!
Blake has been busy working and shopping for ceremony decorations. We have to meet with our insurance guy and sign those papers. And picking out bridesmaid shoes NEEDS to get done, who knew it would be so hard!
Unfortunately, my weekend has been hit by a cold. I'm going to balance some rest into my weekend so I can get better for my shower next week. Wedding stuff might slow down the next week, Blake will be helping me out a little today :)
Have a GREAT weekend!

Week Long Summary....
83 Days.....
So the 3rd dress fitting has come and gone. It's fitting every day a little better-not sure if it's my talented seamstress or my 5K training. I will give both credit :) Next visit: April 16th. That should be it before the final!!!!
The tasting was fun-lots of good food. For everyone that knows Blake and I will expect dinner to be...chicken! We love chicken and neither of us eats Steak...so it was an easy choice. We will be pondering it a week and having a final decision SOON!
Invites = DONE. I just finished up the finishing touches and now contemplating a nap. The details jobs are tiresome!
Wedding stuff will be put on hold for the weekend: lesson planning and grading will take over. Hoping to get a fast 2.5 mile run in a couple of more times before the week sneaks up on us. The "ex-tree" room is painted! The bed is back in, now for a little more furniture moving and it will be where we hoped it would be! My mom will be glad to get her stool back :)
Still working on a song list and life insurance. Two weeks from today is Shower #1 and I bought a cute dress yesterday!
Here's to a great weekend!

Checking off the list!
86 Days and Counting....
A mid-week update!
We bought stamps and that was a little hectic-We needed 28 cent stamps for the RSVP cards and they only print polar bears! Oh well :)
Tuxedos are ready to go! We went with Jos A Bank- Men's Wearhouse was a nightmare and I would never recommend going there!
Invites are being done today! We are so excited :)

Day 1 of Spring Break
Day 1 of spring break....90 days until the wedding...starting to feel the crunch time coming!
Nothing incredibly new this past week. This week we have a lot to look ahead to!
Today, we bought new bedroom furniture. I love it! Here is a link to check it out!
http://bigfurniturewebsite.com/item.aspx?itemid=-467968677&itemnum=B130Q
Blake also primed the "tree room" and it is already 100x brighter. I will post a picture soon. The next step it painting! After the room is put back together, and the bedroom furniture is delievered, we will have accomplished everything we wanted to in the first year of being home owners! It will be ready for us to start our life together!
Monday: I'm going to buy stamps for the invites to get those ready to be sent out!
Tuesday: We have an appointment at Men's Wearhouse to get the ball rolling with men's wear.
Wednesday: I'm hoping to have all the invitiations together to send to all our guests!
Friday: I have my THIRD dress fitting-I know many of you are wondering why so many fittings. Well, it is VERY detailed and we have done it step by step. Right now it is being dropped a 1/2 inch more, and she is hemming the satin. On Friday, we will see how that fits, then hem the lace and fix the sleeves if needed!
Saturday: We are tasting the food options at The Concorde and picking our meal. We are looking forward to this!
In the meantime, I'm still hunting accessories for the bridesmaids and myself. We've been working on life insurance which is crazy! And we are starting to put a song list together-any suggestions?
Tomorrow is a HIGE rivarly game for Blake and I- U of A and UT. Hook 'Em Horns :)
