8 Days and counting!













Yeah, tulips along the garage!! I planted them the fall before last and they get HUGE.
Anyways, today I drove to work to some classic MJ - Billie Jean, Don't Stop Til You Get Enough and Dancing Machine are just the best at putting a smile on my face. Then when I got to work I cut a couple big checks. I paid the balance I owed with the caterer in addition to paying the florist. It feels good to have everything paid for and not have a bunch of debt. I am so excited and kinda proud of myself for all the saving I did throughout the year. I put away 55% of every paycheck to pay for this wedding. I received help from my mom and Doug's parents and between that and the savings, everything is paid for! Woo hoo!!
Besides cutting checks, I didn't do a ton of wedding stuff. I filled out the tags for the guest bags. I also went to Kung Fu. It has been hard to make it with all the wedding stuff going on and work being a bit busy. Sifu was relating the 5 ways of being a great martial artist to how I could write my vows. It was very funny. After class, we talked a bit about the wedding and the honeymoon. He is so kind and such a wonderful teacher. I keep wishing I would have dragged myself in there sooner. At least I am there now.
We received the envelopes and cards for the guest book/jar table. They are so cute! I love the little envelopes. Paperpresentation.com had a great selection. We also received the stand for our hammock! I am SO excited to bust that out this summer. My aunt and cousins bought us the hammock itself for a shower gift. SO sweet! Then the Fitzpatricks were super kind and bought the stand and yesterday the picnic basket. I miss getting to see them. It has been too long since I have visted Alpena. It would be great to go up there this summer to visit with Doug. They are wonderful people.
Anyways, my mom and I are going to costco tomorrow to pick up some goodies for the 21 couples that are traveling for our wedding. I am hoping to find some sweet little vodkas and orange juices to throw in there. We will see what they have. Tomorrow is my final fitting for my dress as well! I can't wait.
