How Time Flies!

Wow - the wedding is now less than 3 weeks away! We've been planning this event for so long that it doesn't seem like it is finally around the corner! It is slowly sinking it that it's almost our time to become husband and wife!

Our family and friends start to arrive in 2 weeks! I think at that point, we'll both start to feel like this is REALLY happening. We can't wait to see all of our loved ones and to have so many of them here all at once!

Planning has been going to well. I'm honestly bored most days because I did so many of these things forever ago so I'm not like most brides who are stressing and running around at this point. The only thing that has caused Matt and I some stress is our guestlist. Our food minimum at the hotel was for 131 guests. We invited 172 and figured that we would have close to 131 RSVP as acccepts....NOT THE CASE AT ALL! At this point, we have a grand 70 people coming. Yes, that is half of what we needed to meet our food minimum so we are praying so hard that some last minute RSVPs will come in!

Matt is up for a promotion so keep him in your thoughts/prayers. He is really passionate about what he does and I think he really deserves this promotion and would do a great job at it.

Life is going well! Can't wait to see what this month has in store for us!

Woah!

Life is so busy lately! Between the wedding planning, school, and working online...time is flying by!

Speaking of time flying by, we leave for SB tomorrow to meet with our wedding planner and the staff at the Fess Parker DoubleTree to go through our weddin details, choose the menu, and do a wlak through of the site. When we signed the contract, I thought it would seem like forever until May 29th rolled around and now, here we are! We are officially 3 months out an I get more and more excited with each passing day...well, at least when the stress from planning it doens't get in the way! Just kidding! I have been so lucky with it all and whatever problems that have come up, have worked themselves out in even more amazing ways.

We get to attend a wedding of a good friend of mine, Shellie Thomas and Brad Bowman, this Saturday. They are getting marrie don the same date and are having their reception at the same hotel that Matt and I would have been at if things had worked out the way we originally planned. Crazy!

I'll write more later!

Lastest Happenings

Matt and I went to see Paramore, Dear and the Head Lights, and Jimmy Eat World on Sunday which was so much fun. It was a great show and we were within 10 feet of the stage when JEW came out to perform...AMAZING! It was my birthday present from Matt but I wanted to take him even more because it was his first time seeing them live. Seriously one of the best times!

Matt and I had a pretty uneventful weekend. He was off for two days so we got to just hang out!

We get to go see Augustana on Thursday at another Klly Lounge and then Spill Campus on the 13th. My birthday is on the 15th so I'm going to try to get some people together on Monday I think.

Nothing has really changed since the last blog entry. If anything, I'm feeling more out of it. I'm at a great place in my life but would love for some people to share in it more than they are.

I'm so tried to reconnecting other friends and then feeling like I get pushed aside. I can't take it. It's seriously crushing to me. I just have this strong sense that I'm the third wheel. Maybe I'm just insecure about some of my friendships but this is how I feel. On the other hand, maybe I'm just in a rut and am feeling extra aware of everything. I don't know. I just know that I wish I could combined some aspects of my life from a couple of years ago with some aspects of my life now.

Enough complaining. I know it's got to be annoying...haha. I'm off to enjoy the rest of the night with my lovely fiance!
