The countdown...

So now that Christmas has come and gone, the wedding day ticker has begun in my head. 136 days until I get to stand on a dock in Cozumel and join my life to Bobby's forever.

This morning I started looking over checklists and trying to figure out what's left to do (and what money is left to spend)! All through the Christmas season people at parties would ask me how the wedding planning was going. My standard replay was, "I have my groom, my dress, and my plane tickets... That's all I really need, right?" HA! There's still so much left to do!

Let's see... I'm putting off getting my dress altered until REALLY close to the wedding because I've been losing weight and I don't intend to stop losing anytime soon. I've also got to find shoes and accessories.

We need to get my girls into the shop and get their dresses ordered.We need to get Bobby and his best man (if he would hurry up and ASK him to be his best man) into a Men's Warehouse or somewhere like that to pick out something nice (but not a tux!) for them to wear.

We have to find a photographer that is willing to work for free, or for the trade of a cheap place to stay in Coz.

We have to finalize the food and cake preparations.

We have to figure out the beauty situation. Go to a fancy salon at one of the resorts? Go to a local salon? 

Bobby has promised to put together a music list for the wedding and reception. I've gotta check in with him about that. Oh, we also need to take a dance lesson or two.

I have to write some vows that are both meaningful and fun. 

Ummmm.... What else? Am I forgetting anything?

Along with the wedding prep, I also find myself daydreaming (and planning) about babies. Uh oh. ;)

Two! Count em, TWO!!

This Friday I have a wedding to go to. I'm excited about the wedding but I've been freaking out because I have NOTHING nice enough to wear to an evening wedding. I borrowed a few dresses from my mom, one I was pretty sure would fit (snuggly) and one that I thought was going to depress me. But guess what!?!? Not only did it not depress me, it looked GOOD on me! It is TWO dress sizes smaller than I was when I started working out!

So I headed over to Macy's and rewarded myself with some sexy shoes to go with the dress!

As a side note, I put on some slacks on my way to Macy's because I needed to wash all of my blue jeans... I think their sizing must be some quirk of their brand - but they are size NINES and that made me feel super awesome!
