Where have I been?

Is it possible the last time I blogged was in 2009??? Truthfully, it's absolutely possible! In the past six months I have completed my master's degree, been diligently planning a wedding and working my tail off at work. I have barely had the time to read all my favorite blogs, let alone write in one myself. But that's all done and over with now and I feel like I have a lot to say. So on we go.

As far as a wedding update is concerned, we're almost there. 116 days or just under 4 months. I'm knee deep in details and all the little things that make weddings so infinitely special. At this stage in the game we have all the big stuff booked. Limo, DJ, Florist, Reception, Church, Cake, the whole nine yards! I'm thrilled with all our decisions so far and as we go, but now it's all the tough stuff. We have to make all the little decisions and start to make the day really come together. We're transitioning between my dreams of my wedding nad making those dreams into reality.

For now, I'm focused on this week. So far I have already started the assembly process on my invitations and started getting those put together. My thoughts are if I start now, mailing them will be a breeze. For some reason they freak me out. I think it's because it's the first taste of our wedding style and I want it to be perfect.

My mom comes into town this weekend. We have our cupcake consultation and my very first dress fitting. I'm petrified about the dress. I have these visions it's not going to fit and I'm going to be horrified. As much as you try to tell yourself it will all be okay, it's no less stressful. I'm sure all you other brides out there can understand, right?

So that's that. I'm excited about what's to come and I want to capture it. Weddings are truly an awesome event. It's such a process and although we focus on how special and monumental the occasion is, there is a lot of tough stuff. There is a lot of stress and sometimes tears and I don't want to loose sight of that either. The emotion is raw and it's something you only have once. I don't want to forget a single minute.
