*I'm having quite an adventure with the wedding invitations. I ordered them a few weeks ago and they were supposed to call me to come look at the proof within a few days. Well, I didn't hear from them for over a week so I decided to give them a call. The girl assured me that the proof would be in the next day, but when they called me the next day, it wasn't the proof that was in, it was the invitations themselves! Well, I was excited, so I went up to get them and wouldn't you know it? They were all wrong! Thankfully, the manager was there and handled it very professionally since her clerk was the one who made the mistake. I got a proof today for the corrected invitations, but it was still wrong (but better than the first ones), so I'm supposed to get another proof tomorrow. Hopefully, it will be right and I can move ahead.
*My dress is coming together beautifully and I'm so excited about it!
*Stephen and I have our first shower this weekend. He's flying in for a VERY quick trip. I know the traveling won't be fun for him, but hopefully he'll still have a good time.
*I'm feeling very good about all the planning (for today anyway). Since my mom was here last week while my new niece was born, she was able to help me with a lot more things. My mom is a gem! (So is my new little Layla.)

Less Than Three Months To Go
Things are coming along, slowly but surely. If I think about the huge list of things still to be done, I panic, but when I take one thing at a time, all is well. The problem is that I take care of the things I don't mind doing, which leaves me a list of things I don't want to take care of. This is not good.
What is good? Well, I got to try on my dress yesterday which was really fun! Sophie (my 4 year old niece) came in to see it and she got a big smile on her face. My mom asked her is she thought it would work. She told us that she liked it, but she didn't think it would work because it didn't have any straps. She was concerned about that. Little girls are mystified by strapless clothing.
A few weeks ago, I bought jewelry to go with the dress and I was second guessing myself on my choice. Now that I've tried it on with the dress, I'm pleased with it. I got it at an antique store in West Monroe, so it can be my "something old". I think I'm going to try to modify the earrings from old-fashioned clip-ons to be more dangly. I'll try to rig them before I do anything permanent, so I can always go back to plan A.
I ordered the invitations today. My confidence in the clerk taking the order was not great, but that's why I get a proof copy before they print them. I'm anxious to get the invitations so I can start addressing them as as I have time. I'm only 3 addresses short of completing the list!
I'm having issues with photographers, so that's my next big thing to tackle. Why do they have to be so darn expensive? Rachel is going to shoot some engagements pictures for us in a few weeks. Too bad she can't do the wedding too!
Even though I feel completely stressed about all this planning sometimes, I am so excited about the wedding and more importantly, about being married to Stephen. He came to visit this past weekend and reminded me over and over why I love him so much.
