Triumphs!

So, I just went online to my handy dandy wedding checklister thing of all the little tiny details that need to be done for the wedding and realized a couple of things:

1. I am the worst as sending out Save the Dates (they're a month late)
2. I did make some serious dents in the list over Christmas holiday
3. I ONLY HAVE 4 MONTHS LEFT UNTIL MY WEDDING!

I know... to Josh (and any other guy who has/had 4 months left) it's an eternity. For me, I feel like my time is flying by!

A small triumph I had was getting all the menu cards and programs typed up and formatted how I want them. Praise the Lord for MS Word and my font website. This website lets you download a LOT of different fonts all for free! Which has, in turned, let me save a LOT of money by making my own save the dates, programs, and other things while still using fonts that aren't limited to Lucinda Calligraphy. I will warn you, there are some shady fonts (I know... people have no shame) but if you stick to the calligraphy, handwritten, retro, etc fonts, you steer clear of all that gunk.

Another achievement was getting Josh fitted for his tux, as well as getting all of the groomsmen, usher, and dad's tuxes picked out! Now, it's just up to the boys to go get measured and remember to pick up their stuff on time. The girls all have their dresses ordered, and only a few shoes need to be picked out, but other than that... everyone is going to have their outfits ready with 3 months to go! Yes!

Upcoming projects include figuring out jewelry for my girls, getting their gifts together, and finishing up my outfit(s). If you didn't know... I'm changing after the reception... and I still need to find a dress. Or make a dress... I'm not sure which. Other items on the list are getting the aisle runner painted and finishing the centerpieces.

Good stuff, good stuff.

This weekend I'll head to Austin to take care of some things, such as centerpieces and save the dates with Katherine, who is coming in on Saturday from Dallas. Woohoo! I love that I've gotten to see her at least every 6 weeks since she moved. I wish I saw her more, but I'm grateful for seeing her as much as I have.
