Warm fuzzies...

mixed with a little bit of frustration. The engagement party was this weekend and it was nice. I liked seeing the room full of people there to support us as we embark on this journey together. I just wish that my mom would chill out. I mean seriously, it's ridiculous. There were plenty of people on-hand to help her set up and clean up but she was still having a fit over getting stuff done. I am soooooo glad that we hired a wedding coordinator because she would have a melt down on the wedding day if she had to handle it.

On another note, I think that the combining of families will be quite interesting. We are so different from each other. One glaring difference is my family is on time to stuff and his.. not so much.

As we delve more into this process I feel the pressures from various family members to move the wedding up or to have it at a church or to have children there. I know it may be difficult for a lot of my family to understand, but we (as in myself and my fiance) are going to do this thing the way we see fit.

Weddings bring out the best and the worse in people and I am really grateful that I have people in my life to ground me (thanks bridesmaids)

Awww.. you're welcome! And I think (especially after this weekend) that you and the Mr. will do just fine handling the family thing. I'm so happy for you two.

Oh sorry meant to say it in the other comment. Maybe Stef and I could spearhead the bridal shower when it comes to help with the stress level. That'll be so close to the actual wedding and we don't want anyone to stress too much.

Wedding lessons learned

I'm back and I'm a Mrs! The ceremony was beautiful. The reception was fun. I learned a few things that I will take into my future work as a wedding coordinator (something I have always wanted to to). I have a few things that I wished we would have done differently. I kinda wish we had hired a different wedding coordinator. She did do her job and she pulled the day together but... I don't feel like we were really heard during the whole planning process. So, my advice to anyone who is still in the planning process: 1. If you hire a coordinator, pick someone who respects your budget no matter what it is. 2. Be really detailed with what your vision is for each element of your wedding. Make sure that the person who is in charge of the day has a thorough understanding of that vision. 3. Things will go wrong. Don't sweat it. The morning of the wedding I woke up to a text from my hair and makeup person saying instead of her arriving at 8:00 she would be there at 12:00. I didn...

Where does the time go?

16 days until I make the change from Ms. to Mrs. I feel like I am not yet getting the chance to soak it in. I am still trying to adjust to the new job and keep up with my normal household tasks. I guess I will fully realize it when I put on the dress.

Cookie monster

That is what I feel like right now. The one thing I have no business eating right now is calling my name as I sit in Panera. I just finished my chicken noodle soup and salad and I want a big ole chocolate chip cookie! But if I were to eat one it would mean no more food for the rest of the day due to using up all of my points. Must.....resist.....temptation........
