Discussed all the flowers we would need for the wedding with Joan today. Whew, that is going to be a lot of daisies! I am pleased with all the ideas that everyone came up with. Matt's mom, Matt's grandma, my grandma and my mom were all there to help. It was nice.
Saturday Stephanie and I are going to head to Smithfield to get her opinion and size for the shoes. We picked out the same basic thing online, guess that is why we are best friends! So it just all depends what looks best on her foot...
Tomorrow Matt and I are going to look at wedding bands! I am super excited about doing that. I am also getting very excited about our party on Saturday night... I got the perfect dress yesterday! I am really pumped to wear it, even if I am not a "dress" girl, all these events might just turn me into one!

Fun Times!
I am officially very excited about all the happenings coming Matt and I's way! Engagement Party this month, Bridal Shower #1 in April, Bridal Shower #2 sometime in May, a His and Her's shower in June and a wedding in July! Whew! Something every month, I am tickled!
I found the cutest goodies for my bridesmaids this week, I am so pleased! I have to find a date next week that we can get together with Joan on the flowers for the church and the Wilrik. I have to get back with the caterer sometime after Easter about the food and I am still looking at hairstyles! I also need to start wearing my contacts more often so people are not like, "Who is that girl Matt is marrying and where is Courtney!?" Haha!
Saw my buddy Dana yesterday, ordered our Engagement pictures, can't wait until those come in. She sent us the most beautiful daisies. I will have to get a picture up for everyone to see.
Matt and I are going to dive into Honeymoon plans next week hopefully. They say the sooner we book the more $$ we can save. So that is moving up the ladder of importance...
Just 136 till were married and 2 more days until 3 weeks of peace and relaxation and wedding planning! Yay year round school!

10 Days Later...
Its a new month and 145 days until Matt and I say "I Do"!
Things have slowed down a bit... but I hear that is how it goes, the planning comes in waves. I need to let the florist know by the end of the month what my flower choices are for sure. I have to pick a hairstyle by the end of the month and we are deciding on invitations soon too (which means I have to go back to that guest list, oh boy). I hope that we can look at wedding bands sometime before the month is out. Matt and I have an appointment with the church tomorrow for our first session of pre-marriage counseling. I am also still on the hunt for shoes for my dear bridesmaids... but for some reason all silver shoes are metallic and that just won't work. I think it is going to come down to dye-able shoes... and if that is the case, that needs to be done ASAP as well.
My apologies about the not so frequent posting here lately... I was away from the computer for the most of last week. Oh, how I missed it!

155 Days
I can't believe the wedding in 155 days away! Whew!
I am so glad to be "flu free" now. It was awful. I am so happy that Matt has not gotten sick (knock on wood). I guess Hot Pockets are great for the immune system. Haha!
As far as wedding plans go the bridesmaids dresses have been ordered! They are so pretty, I can't wait for them to come in. Now the hunt for the shoes to match starts.
I've also talked to a travel agent about Vegas for our Honeymoon, talked to Joy about doing my hair for the wedding, ordered samples of some invitations we like and spoke to the bridal shop about fitting my dress. We also have a meeting with the church the first week of March for pre-marriage counseling. And I have to call about tanning this week, thank you Stephanie for mentioning my paleness...
3 more weeks until intersession, I imagine there will be lots of wedding planning during that time.

Busy C
Yesterday was a whrilwind! Whew! Mom and I traveled all the way to Smithfield to pick up my shoes! Yay! And then drove to Fayetteville to pick up my veil, but when I got their mine was not in the order... so they are going to call me later in the week. So I guess when I pick that up I will schedule my fitting. Fun times!
Also picked up the unity candle yesterday, something totally different. Matt and I are really excited about it. Picked up the cake pans for Melinda, got a great deal on those. Picked up some ribbon that PERFECTLY matches the sash in the bridesmaids dresses. Look at a zillion invitations yesterday and this morning but I think we have found the perfect one, if the colors can be tweaked... I should hear back about that soon.
I am also very pleased that I bought a wedding scrapbook. I love to scrapbook and it has been awhile since I have done any since, well, I had nothing to scrapbook about! I have been looking for a great scrapbook and I finally found it last night at Joann's. Perfect. I can't wait to get started on it. I think it is going to be something I play with today. Also on today's plate is talking to Chef Paul about food. I am meeting with her later today. I wonder how much pigs in a blanket and cheese sticks will cost? Just kidding...
Tomorrow is wedding planning busy as well. Haircut after school and talking to Joy about doing my hair the day of the wedding. Checking with Sanford Rent-All about somethings. Whew!
Matt and I also decided that the Wilrik is going to be the spot for our reception. I need to get the paperwork to Lydia soon. I am just really happy that we had another great option so close to our wedding date. There are 2 big rooms but I only have decent pictures of the front room. Here are some pictures...

Oh Yeah...
What a wild week last week. I forgot to post these hilarious pictures on the blog! Matt was made Editor-in-Chief of Campbell's Law Review the same night Trace burned down, talk about timing. So since all that happened I never got around to posting these.
I was so proud of Matt I decided to get him a surprise, it was late and I had no time to bake a cake so I went to Super Walmart and bought a little cake and asked the lady if she would personalize it for me.
Here's the cake:
It says "Editor -n- Chef" and I LOVE it! When Matt came home I presented it to him and he didn't say a word. I inquired if he noticed something about the cake and he goes, "No what?" and I pointed out the "chef" part and he said, "Whew, you bought this? I wasn't going to say anything because I thought you mis-spelled it!" Hahaha! The sad thing is I am a horrible speller, but I would have checked spell check before writing it on the cake if I would have made it.
It is a really cute cake though, and makes for a great story! Notice the awesome yellow Fiestaware plate it is on?
Oh, I changed the background again. I love geometrics a great deal, stripes, dots, shapes, etc. So when this one popped up on the template page I had to put it on the blog.
