today was a great day. tomorrow i'll post my "wordless weekend" entailing all of the pictures from the night with my sweet family. it was a wonderful night tonight.
today, mom and i headed out and got our wedding game faces on. as of today, we have 12 weeks - i just screamed like the girl in father of the bride after her shpeal - i met a man in rome, and he's wonderful and brilliant, and we're getting married - AHHHHHHHH! hope y'all got that. but yes, 12 weeks. dad would mathematically give that to me in hours and make me sweat, but 12 weeks does it justice enough.
so for me, the whole planning thing was much more fun in the beginning. i loved planning the big things - honeymoon, wedding place, flowers, dresses, photographers, and so on - but this little nitty gritty detail creativity mess just hurts my head. i'm not creative, not by any stretch of the imagination.
but today was so good. mom and i went out to montague lake, where we're getting married, and just walked around and looked around, and envisioned, and laughed, and froze our noses. it made it more real. like wow, 12 weeks from today here's where i'll stand, here's where jonno will stand, here's where my girls will stand. it was great.
then we went out just wedding snooping. we went to jo-anns, a.c.moore, michaels, back to jo-anns. we have finally decided on our centerpieces, and we made our sample one tonight. i kept shrieking, and i'm not a shrieker. i love them really. then we decided on our wedding favors, and we bought materials for that. it just seems like the creative juices actually fell out today, and i liked it. mom and i had such a great time and just enjoyed planning, and saying oh how bout this, or oh gosh never that, or wow i feel nervous just thinking about it. it was a great day. here's a sneak preview of some of our centerpieces:
we just LOVE watermelon and sunflowers. who doesn't? i'm praying you caught the sarcasm on that and would knock me out if that was my centerpiece idea.
well i'm off to bathe. hope you liked that honesty there. then i'm going to start my two new bible study books - crazy love and the 5 love languages. see a theme?
