26 Days

Wow time is flying by and I cant believe in a few short weeks Bret and I will be married!
I am so lucky to have such an amazing man in my life
This weekend was pretty eventful and crazy
We got a lot done but I still feel warn out and like I need a full weekend to just relax and not go anywhere or do anything
I am so ready for this wedding! I cant wait to see how everything turns out, I cant want to see how great everyone looks and I cant wait to be married!
I get to go to my final dress fitting on Wednesday! I am so very excited!
I am way nervous though, what if it doesnt fit
what if something is ruined on it
I know that is a horrible way to think but I cant help it.
I am so ready to get all dressed up!

WE have the final draft of our wedding annoucement done! We made it together an I think it is perfect! I am so glad I have a man who is so involved in all the wedding stuff and wants to be there to do it together!

My Fiance is truly the best

I am so lucky to have such an amazing man who I get to spend the rest of my life with

Last night I came home from work and Bret had everything laid out for me to make dinner, He wrote a special message on the bathroom mirror and he got me a rose! He is so thoughtful and loving! He is always thinking of me and wants me to feel special all the time. I love him more than I could ever explain and I cant wait to be his wife.
I am truly a pain but he never gives up on me or us! He always pushes through and loves me more with each passing day! We only have 30 more days until our wedding and I can not wait

I love you Bret thank you so much for all that you do. You are my everything

Very sweet Gesture

Yesterday I recieved a text from Bret's Step mom saying that I needed to call her
I let her know that I would after I got off work.
I was a little nervous not knowing what it was she was needing to talk to me about because we havent really talked a lot, only when she has called Bret and I was there.
So I called her after work and was suprised by what she had to say

She wanted to throw me a Bridal Shower.. I thought this was so sweet
I never really thought about having one because since we had such a short amount of time to plan the wedding I couldnt imagine fitting in a bunch of different get to gethers either but I am happy that is trying to be a part of the wedding and do something special for Bret and I.
The Bridal shower will be co-ed so men and woman will be there with Bret and I and i think that will be great. I am pretty excited about it. I think that it will be a lot of fun.
The shower will be about a week before the wedding so that is putting a lot of stuff into a little bit of time but I think it will be great! I am getting really excited time is flying by we only have 36 days until the wedding

I changed my mind on what I wanted for the centerpieces but I think this idea will go so much better, it will actually save us money and be better for safety and more simple. Which is what I love!
MY WEDDING DRESS is done being altered so I need to go pick it up
My parents are kicking butt on getting the whole house put together for the wedding. They are going crazy on updating everything and making it so beautiful. I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful family who will do anything for me. My nana has been coming up everyday to pull the horrible weeds! I cant believe all that she has done either!
We need to buy gifts for the family, parents and I need to get something special for Bret
I am going to put together a wedding box to have all the little things I need for the wedding day because I am so scared I am going to forget something. I am also going to try my hardest to get the house totally organized before the wedding. I also need to start planning for our honey moon and make sure that I have everything ready for that so that we can have a great week together with no worries!
I am getting excited and it is starting to feel real, i have a hard time sleeping and i dream about my wedding all the time but its a lot of fun and I enjoy it. I know that I am going to be really sad once it is all over. I am really enjoying all the family time and doing something with my mom every week we will just have to keep it up and eventually start a baby wednesday :)
My mom and I have gotten a lot closer doing all this wedding stuff and I really enjoy it!
I hope everyone loves our wedding day and truly enjoys themselves and feels all the love because a lot of time and LOVE is going into it

My eyes are turning red...

FROM ALL THE CRYING


I have become the biggest cry baby ball of stress ever and I am about to fully explode. I am slowly exploding at the seams. I am so stressed with all this wedding stuff and yesterday only made it worst.
I went to my mom's house and we began our wedding Wednesday by running to the mall with my sister to try and find me some earrings but we ended up just getting my sister something and having to leave to go pick up my mom's friend Nancy who took the day off to spend with us shopping. We then went to the send out card tour which was really nice and inspiring and something that I really need to get more involved in because it is going to take off really soon, I can feel it. They served us lunch and some great snacks so I was ready for the day.
After leavings the SOC tour we went to my nan's to pick up some stuff for my mom and hang out with my Cooper puppy for a bit. We talked about the Arch that my nana is making us for the wedding and I know it will just be Beautiful!! Then we had to hurry home to get Nancy's daughter (who is so so cute) and wait because a man was coming to rent the boat.
I went with Nancy to get her daughter and when I got back to my mom's I was greeted with the horrible news that ruined the day!!!
We got the estimate back from the lady doing the food, cake, decorations, and service at the wedding!! $3400.00!! Then another $700.00 for the flowers! I freaked out I could not imagine that it would be that much since are not serving way expensive food at the wedding so I LOST IT!! I started calling other places and they were either not helpful or booked for the day of my wedding etc. I feel so bad that my parents are putting all this money into a wedding because I know they dont have it and thats why I wanted an at home wedding so that we could save money. I love my parents so much though because they would do anything for me and I know that they arent bothered by it that much.
I then called Bret to let him know and tell him the price of the flowers so that he could let his dad know ( who was ok with it but then it became sort of chaos for a moment). We then left my mom's house and went looking for my earrings and my sisters shoes for the wedding. We were able to find both and I am so excited everything is going to be beautiful. I ended the day with a snow cone, carmel corn and crying to Bret but he took care of it and made me feel better. I have such a great partner who will never give up on me or us.

I just want everything to be okay
I just want people to be excited and supportive
BUT
I cant control how they feel or act so I am just going to be happy for Bret and I and be happy for out wedding. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life who will always stand by me so I am not going to worry what about what someone might wear or what they may complain about this day is about Bret and my love and that is it!!

Final Head Count

We have turned our numbers in to lady that will be taking care of a lot of the wedding
We are so lucky to have her because she has taken a TON of the stress away

We are counting on 125 people for the wedding!

That seems like a huge number to me but thinking about it, it could be a lot bigger if we opened it up to more people
I am so excited to see how great the wedding turns out, I know it is going to be beautiful and elegant and everything I have ever dreamed of. My parents are working their butts off cleaning up the house and getting it all ready. I cant believe how much they are doing to make it look good! They must love me
I am going to go through our engagement pictures tonight and pick the final ones for editting and then hopefully we will get those back soon so we can start designing our wedding announcement! Its coming so fast but I am so excited and so happy that I get to spend the rest of my life with Bret!
Nothing new has really surfaced but tomorrow we are going to visit our dad's for Father's Day so I will let you know how it goes :)
