Planning

ok, so i'm already a bad blogger. it's hard to find time to actually update this thing! what have i been doing with all of my spare time you might ask? wait... what is spare time??? i've been planning a wedding! and i've gotten a lot of accomplished (patting myself on the back). so far i've:

~ booked the church
~ found a preacher man
~ hired a trumpet player... or trumpist?? haha. well, actually jacob did this for me without even asking. props to the fiancé!!!
~ found a reception site and planned a menu. however, we might be changing that location tomorrow afternoon after visiting another venue (i'm praying this one will work!! i'm excited!)
~ bought my dress, veil, slip, shoes, and traveling bag for the dress (all i need now is my bra!)
~ found a bakery... just have to design cakes now
~ found a photographer that's available!!
~ bought the guest book
~ bought flowers for the flower girl to throw
~ visited hotels and received prices on rooms to block for guest
~ booked the honeymoon!!!

no bad for only being engaged for 15 days!!! and i'm exhausted already. i used to want to be a wedding planner when i was in college. i'm so glad i changed my mind! one wedding is enough for me!

jacob and i tried to register the other day at Lowe's. i'm not sure yet what color schemes i want to use in the kitchen and bathrooms, so i'm not quite ready to register for those household items, but he's been ready to register for tools. so we decided to go to Lowe's last weekend and register. even stopped at Sonic (during Happy Hour of course) and bought a medium diet coke to keep me hydrated during the process. well, we get there and find out they no longer do registries. then we tried Sears in Troy, which was closed. finally we headed to walmart, and found out that they no longer do in-store registries... you have to register online!! we were disappointed and i felt bad for jacob. he was really excited about it! we ate at Crowe's instead to make up for it! ahhh... if only they catered to weddings!

not much else is going on. work sucks, as usual. i'm trying to transfer to Pike County now, but to tell you the truth, i'm getting burned out with DHR. we'll see though.

i'm so excited about the future. i can't wait to be married and spend my life with my best friend. we have a lot to do until then however.... plan the wedding, buy a house, find me a new job in troy. wow. and all of this in only 121 days. i better stop blogging and get back to planning.

have a great night!
