Yep, the countdown continues to the BIG wedding day - and I've been quite busy since my last visit with you. I'm not sure which is counting down quicker the days on the calendar or the balance in the checkbook (probably the balance in the checkbook!). I've paid the deposit on the flowers... we've measured Aaron for his tux and paid to order it... purchased the favors... and the plates for the reception... oh, and I bought his ring last night. Way cool!
The BIG issue this week is to work diligently on the housing issue. Currently we each live in a two-bedroom apartment - but soon there will be five of us (plus a scrapbooking room), and we'll need a bigger place. A big place on a small budget is a tall order to fill in southern California, but we're working on it.
I carry my wedding notebook with me everywhere - it's got my ideas for decorating, what I want and don't want, who's who, vendors, receipts, etc., etc., etc., I'm glad I've been taking notes - some things I would have already forgotten had I not had them written down. It's crazy, but I'm having fun, too. I finally decided on the invitation wording, though I've still got to nail down the RSVP cards. I've updated our wedding webpage on The Knot and have the save the date e-card ready to send. I've listened to wedding music... I think I've found the perfect cake server set and toasting glasses ... So, many things to choose from - so many decisions to make. I call my daughter-in-law, Melinda, almost daily with 'what do you think about...?' She's been a great person to bounce ideas off of and a good source of ideas, too. She laughs at me though - she says I don't sound like her 54-year-old mother-in-law, I sound like a young girl in love... I told her I am. That in your heart, you're always a young girl... that's why it's such a surprise when you look in the mirror!
