190 Days to go....
Alright, so in almost 6 months from now I am getting married. Holy %&!@! When the hell did this sneak up on me?? I mean I have been totally anal wedding girl from the getgo making sure I was getting stuff done WAAAAY ahead of time and now with six months left, I have so much left to do!!! I cannot believe that six months of engagement has gone by. I know time flies the older you get, but I think there is some special way that time passes when you are engaged. It goes by 1.1 times faster than normal, just enough to make things go by faster but not enough to really notice it!
So the bridesmaid dresses are in woohoo! Very glad about that since all my girls are spread out across America. Now the next thing that needs to be done is to order my rehearsal dress. Since it's actually a bridesmaid dress it needs to be ordered way ahead of time. Ahh the dillemna of a bride. I'll have to look back and laugh at all the things that I stressed over. Who the hell cares what flavor the cake is or if my shoes match my dress exactly!? But tell that to me now and I'll bite your head off!

229 Days and Counting....
When the heck did December get here? I mean the holidays usually fly by, but this is a little ridiculous. Is there some special space-time continuom that happens the year that you are engaged? I just hope that this means winter will fly by. As I stated before, I am not winter's biggest fan. Especially since it took me four hours to get to work yesterday. Did I mention that I live 9 miles away from work? It snowed all of 1 inch and people forget that they should drive with extreme caution, so needless to say if this is the start of the dark season I am NOT happy!
Ok, on to wedding stuff...the Save The Dates are out (will be referred to as STDs now, so don't think I have The Clap when speaking of it) and I managed to get most of the addresses from my Fiance's family, but not too many from FI himself. Of course 25 year old guys really don't care about STDs, so I'm not going to bother to harrass him (anymore). There seemed to be an overall positive response to them from what I've heard and I need all the positive reinforcement I can get! It just helps me to justify my anal-retentiveness to my FI.
THE DRESS IS IN!!! Woo Hoo! I have two weeks to pick it up, so now my only worry is that it won't fit. I have been dieting for three weeks now (Weight Watchers=WW) on WW and have lost over 5 lbs now, but since I can't stress about it not being here I need something else to stress about. Or that it's the wrong dress...oooh wouldn't that suck! I'm not sure why I like to torture myself so much over this, but the dress is probably one of the biggest deals. I definitely don't want to look like a stuffed sausage on my wedding day! I'm only asking for 20lbs in 8 months, that's not too much to ask...right?
I also scheduled my wedding related (wedding relate=WR) appointments for when I go home for Christmas. Since I am planning from afar, you do as many things as possible in the short jaunts you make home. Thankfully, I'll be home for about a week, so it won't be nearly as stressful as seeing 12 reception sites in three days! Plus on top of the WR appointments, my mom and I will be making votive candles. I have had these glass votives in my trunk since I bought them two months ago and have been praying that I don't get rear ended (you'd think I'd move them, but of course not...too lazy) and hopefully my luck will stay with me until I get home.
Maybe I'll move them to at least the back seat....grrrr something else to stress about, great...

Only 248 Days to go…
Day 1 of my blog. Never had a blog before and am still not quite sure what blog stands for, but I will forge on anyway pretending I am a blog genius. Not sure of the technicalities of this, but I will try to post pics and websites once I do gain that learning.
It’s now almost mid November and the cold weather has quickly approached. I hate winter so much (go figure, I live in New England) and the only thing that will keep me sane through the 4 months of darkness and snow is the fact that my wedding will be swiftly approaching. Of course that won’t mean winter will go by any slower, but that will be the one bright spot. I wish I was a bear and could sleep through this misery and wake up to spring flowers and chirping birds. Instead I will go to work in the dark and come home in the dark, completely missing the small chance of experiencing sunlight.
Let’s see, wedding plans are running fairly smoothly, but when you are as far away as I am not too much can go wrong right now. See me in 5 months and it may be a different story. You see, I am not the luckiest person alive and neither is my fiancé. We always joke that if we didn’t have bad luck, we just wouldn’t have any luck at all. Not that we aren’t happy, we are very blessed, but I know God has a very good sense of humor about the little things in my life and I hope that one day he will share it with me so we can both laugh.
One stress I do have is waiting on my dress.
I ordered it exactly 8 weeks ago and was told anywhere from 12-16 weeks. Now what I want to know is, what happens if they lost my order and I don’t find out until 8 weeks from now when the dress still hasn’t shown up? I am not a stressing type of person, but I hate when things are completely out of my control. I do admit that I have had a few wedding related nightmares, but nothing that has shaken me to the bone quite yet. But then again, ask me how I feel in 5 months…
