Tomorrow!
I am ready for bed. Tomorrow I wake up and I get to be the bride. How exciting!!! I can't believe the day we have planned so long for is finally here!
I want to take a moment to thank everyone for everything they have done. We had a wonderful rehearsal dinner tonight and it was great to see everyone together and having fun. Matt and I are ready to "take the plunge" tomorrow!
Please keep checking the blog after the wedding. I will post wedding pictures, reception pictures and honeymoon pictures when we get back.
Also, the announcement for our wedding will be in Sunday's Sanford Herald and The Fayetteville Observer. Pick one up and check us out!

3 Days!
We're getting so close to the big day! I am shocked!
Looks like this hippo is shocked too!
Got the programs to pick up tomorrow, need to meet with Dana tomorrow and get all the things lined up to go to the reception. Portrait is here, write-ups have been sent to the papers, and other little odds and ends have been done.
So there are a few more things to get done (packing for Vegas is #1 priority right this second), instead of blogging I should really get on that.
Hopefully I will blog a little more before Saturday!

1 Week!
We are one week away from the big vows! I am very excited!!!
I finally found my dress for the rehearsal! I had found this particular one online and had planned to ordered it, forgot about it and then when I remembered today I was like "Ahh! It will never get here on time!" So after a few phone calls I have one on hold! Sweet!
All appointments have been made and setup, I am evening getting a massage on our wedding day, an awesome gift from a friend! Thank you Dixie!
Well that's about all for now, I need to continue doing a few odds and ends here and there... so here's to 7 days!

We are getting very very close! Almost to the single digit days... wow! Instead of counting days I have started saying, "Next Saturday..." Crazy!
So I am a scheduling fool these days! I feel good about everything that will be done the day before and the day of. Both are busy days... nails, hair, makeup, luncheons, dinners, and thanks to an awesome friend a massage! Woo Hoo! Hope I can make it down the aisle after that! Haha!
This week and next consist of last minute checking on things and packing for Vegas!

With less than 2 weeks till our wedding Matt and I are busy busy! I am getting ready to start a new school year (Open House Monday Night, first day of school Wednesday). With that said, this coming week is Matt's last at work, so he has graciously offered to take on the task of wedding planner the week before the wedding. I will work the Monday and Tuesday the week of the wedding, just because it is the first full week of school and I feel bad leaving the kiddies.
Today has been a whirlwind of wedding hoopla! All day in Raleigh fetching this that and the other, but a lot was crossed off the list! Including some needed luggage and other Vegas necessities.
But the biggest task today has been music. Matt has really done a stellar job with this. He sat and preview dozens of songs for us, and played them over and over and over again. He found the most perfect song for this blushing bride to walk down the aisle to... it brought tears to my eyes. I can't wait for the big day!
Well here's to hopes that I can post many more times before the wedding!

Picked up the wedding bands today (gorgeous) and our paperwork for Vegas! Woot Woot! Got the airline tickets, hotel voucher, show tickets and travel arrangements to and from the airport. I feel like everything is coming together.
Also talked to Joan today, the flowers have been ordered and everything is moving right along with that. I am excited!
Matt and I completed a Myers Briggs personality test last night for our pre-marriage counseling and we should have the results Saturday. We will have to post those when we get them! :)
Well that is about all for right now. I go back to school tomorrow so here's to a new year and a new group of 1st graders!

In 25 days our wedding will be here! We've been super busy with lots of things, some dealing with our wedding and some not. We've just returned from Greenwood, SC where we attended Jason and Beth's wedding (Congrats)! Beautiful! And in just a few days we will be at Kari and Nathan's wedding! Sunday is super close guys!
We got to taste test our cake on Sunday, yummy! And it looked great too! I can wait to see it on its grand scale! I am supposed to get the girls dresses sometime this week, they said they would be complete by the 4th. So I can't wait to get them and have them in hand for the big day. Hmm, what else... I think that is about it right now. We have meetings scheduled with the preacher, the director, the florist, the photographer and the caterer. Whew! Its going to be a wild month!

I want to start of by saying that I love my caterer Aaron. He is so awesome and if you want a great caterer you should totally call him, love that guy. Here's one reason why.
Had planned to call the Wilrik, Joan, and Aaron today to sort through how many tables there were, how many flowers we would need etc. So I picked up the phone and called the Wilrik, I asked to speak to the office manager who I have talked to many many times before and paid a deposit to and I was told she no longer worked there. My heart sank. So I started to ask the new lady some questions and was told that I no longer had linens for my tables (the previous lady owned them and took them with her along with other decorations I was told I could use). So I started to panic. I called Dad and said, "You wanna go get some lunch?" So Dad and I rode over to Aaron's restaurant and had some lunch and I told Aaron about my phone call and how I didn't have linens and all this other madness. He goes, "Don't worry. I have linens for the food tables." So we chit chatted and he is going to do this awesome strawberry topiary thing for us that I saw on FoodNetwork.
Dad has been fitted for his tux and I bought him a nice new suit for Father's Day (he knew that is what I was going to do, wrote it in a card). Looked great on him, an olive color. He fussed and complained when I made him rent dress shoes to go with his tux. He wants to wear his boots. We'll see what happens there...
I am in the final stages of things. I was going through my wedding planning book and checking things off and there is not too much more to be done, thank goodness. My sweet flower girl turns 4 tomorrow! Speaking of her I need to schedule our hair and nails soon. Seems like I can't do to much of anything until July 1st when we meet with the preacher and decide what time the rehearsal will be at. Ugh, I wish I knew that now so I could go ahead and get things scheduled around it.
Well tomorrow marks 1 month left. I can't believe it is so close! Yes!!!

Matt and I went Sunday and picked out the tuxedos and he was fitted. I am planning on taking Daddy up to Cary tomorrow to have him fitted. I just love checking things off the list!
The cake has also been more than half way decided on. The look and decorations has been picked but we still need to think of flavors... yum cake!
I went and talked to the man at the printing place about the programs today, very helpful. He said I have plenty of time to get those printed and not to worry. I love it when people say, "you have plenty of time" and "not to worry".
I plan to see Aaron the caterer tomorrow to ask him if he could make this thing I saw on TV the other day. He said if I saw something on FoodNetwork I liked to come talk to him, so guess what... I found something cool I think he can totally make!
I think that about covers things that have been going on... RSVP's are starting to come back in, thank you to everyone that has sent their's in with a song request, we've gotten some great ones! Also a GIANT thank you to all my bridesmaids and gal pals who threw the BEST Bachelorette Party EVER!

Oh, I love weeks like this one! No work, all fun and getting a ton of things done! Yay! Kari and I had lots of fun going to Fayetteville yesterday and getting her dress fitted, fits perfectly! Just a bit of adjustment in the shoulders. I think they purposely make those shoulders too big so that you have to have a fitting done. All my girls had to have their straps fixed. Today Amy and I are hitting the mall for bachelorette party outfit shopping! I am so excited about the big party tomorrow!!! Saturday will be very busy though, dress fitting in the morning for Stephanie and Amy and then some shopping and then PARTY! Woo Hoo!
I am hoping to get Matt up to the Cary Mall on Sunday to be fitted for his tux and go ahead and pick out everything so that the other guys can go up there and be fitted as well. Once that is done I will feel 100% better...
Our calendar is FULL from now until the wedding, this weekend my bachelorette party, next weekend SC for Jason and Beth's wedding, the weekend after that is Kari and Nathan's Wedding and then school starts back for me and 2 weeks later is our wedding! Whoa!
Well, I will keep everyone as posted as possible without ruining to many surprises!

Our wedding is getting closer and closer! I am very excited. I don't have too much new news to report, things are kind of in a lull around here... thank goodness!
The report from Macon, GA is that the flowergirl dress has arrived and needs just a bit of adjustment to fit Miss Ava. I can't wait to see her in all her flowergirl glory! We hear that she is practicing her duties, mostly being quiet... ; )
This weekend will bring my batcheolorette party, woo hoo!!! Watch out! I can't wait to see what the girls have planned, I know we are going to have a great time!
Frankie and I went through twenty some photo albums this weekend looking for pictures of Matt in his younger years. Found some great ones! Now to make copies of those and copies of mine and get those ready for the reception. Thanks for all the help with that Frankie!
Well I am going to sign off for now! Hope everyone has had a great week!

The wedding is getting closer and closer! Wedding responses are starting to come back to us, we've had some great song requests! If you have more than one feel free to message us on here and we can add it to the list! :)
Ordered my garter tonight, woo woo! I am so excited, it is being made from a seller on Etsy If you have never checked out www.etsy.com you really should! They offer handmade items, anything you can really think of and the options are awesome! I love to check them out daily to see what's new.
Hmmm, what else... Oh, Matt and I should have our wedding bands next week! Yay! I can't wait to see them. My engagement ring is currently at the jewelers to have the bands matched up against them perfectly. We went with two small bands to wrap around my engagement rings and Matt went with a traditional band for his. Hopefully we will be able to get our marriage certificate this coming week, it is on the to do list.
Hope everyone is having a great week!

They're Gone!
Invitations are out! Mailed them this morning... Here I am so happy to be done with them.
Here's a sneak peek at the full box...
Also the flowers have been ordered and the bridedsmaid's dresses are safe and secure at Mom and Dad's house. So now the only thing really left is to get the guys fitted for their tuxs.

Been Awhile... 55 days left!
Sorry its been so long since I have posted last. It has been very busy around here! This past week has brought lots of events, 2 showers, invitations arriving and my bridal portraits coming in! Fun stuff!
My dear students had a surprise bridal shower for me at school. It was too cute! They had kept the secret for 2 whole weeks, I couldn't believe it. We had cookies, M&M's, lemonade, and chips all on polka dotted plates. It was very sweet.
Then afterschool I was given a shower from all the staff at school. We had a great time and I received some wonderful things! I also received a ton of yummy recipes! Yay! A big thanks to 1st grade for throwing such an awesome shower!
And the invitations are in and they are awesome! Just what we wanted! Sadly, the post office has really let me down though. I mean you change the price of stamps for some crazy reason yet the only 42 cent stamps you offer are Frank Sinatra, a flag, and the liberty bell. Yeah, those really say Wedding to me... ugh. They also informed me that since my envelope was 1/8 an inch bigger than the regular size envelopes that it would cost a dollar to mail each one! Can you believe it?! Ugh! And you wouldn't believe what the dollar stamp looks like... it is a greek god. A half naked man on a stamp, oh yeah that is what I want to mail out to all my friends and family! So Amy the wonderful person she is researched online to help me find something and we came up with 2 of last years 2 ounce wedding stamps per envelope. But Mom and I had to drive to some teeny tiny post office in Fayetteville just to find them. But I have them now, thank goodness.
Oh and a date has been set for a Bachelorette Party! Woop Woop!
Well that's the latest. Hope all is well with everyone else out there!

Bridal Portrait, Invitations, and Napkins... Oh My!
Whew! What a week! It started out with my bridal portrait on Monday. I had a beautiful bouquet (thanks Joan) of pink Gerber Daisies. Had my hair done by Joy, it looked perfect and didn't move an inch! The dress fit great, the alterations were perfect!
So Dana took me to The House in the Horseshoe for an outside session. It was AWESOME! I can't wait to see the proofs. We also did some outside shots at The Old Mill and some inside shots at her studio.
I will tell you that when I put on the dress at the studio I had a bit of a "moment". I hadn't seen everything together, and when I saw the dress, the hair, the shoes, the jewelry, the makeup, the flowers, the everything... my heart skipped... I am getting married... whoa. It was a neat moment. Wonder when Matt will have his moment... at the alter when he falls out cold probably.
Matt and I also just sent the order in for our invitations. I can't wait to get them back. They are going to be perfect! Brandi was so awesome, if you ever need anything printed she's the one to go to! We also ordered cake napkins through her. They are super cute and Matt picked the design out.
Tomorrow we are going back to the jewelers to really pick out the bands (haha). As many of you know this has been something we can't decide on. So tomorrow is it, we are really going to do it (or so we claim). I can't decide about engraving though...
Well that is about it for now. I think as soon as I get these invitations sent out I will be on easy street (or at least that is what I am telling myself).
