Well, I'm about 98% packed now, which is a good thing since the moving truck will be here later this week. I thought I had overestimated how many boxes I would have, but as it turns out, my supposed over estimate was a bit too optimistic. I've got tons of stuff. In my defense: a lot of the boxes are full of shower gifts that I didn't take out of their original boxes.
We had two showers last week where we got so many nice things! It's overwhelming to see how kind people are to us. Thanks everybody!

The Calm Before the Storm?
Most of the wedding planning seems really low-key these days. When I think about it one step at a time instead of thinking of the whole pictures, it's a lot easier to deal with.
Most of the major things are done, or at least planned. I finally got the invitations last week and they're ready to be mailed. I also finally talked to the DJ I want. I don't have him scheduled for sure, but hopefully that will all work out this week. My mom has been working on many things and I'm SO grateful for her! I really only have one big-ish task left that I don't want to do, but after that, everything should be set until the week before the wedding when all the planning gets put to the test.
Stephen moved into our new apartment yesterday. That's very exciting to think about! The moving company will be at my house on either November 1st, 2nd, or 3rd (I'll know which day 24-48 hours before they get here), so I'm trying to get things packed up now so I'm not overwhelmed that week. I feel like I'm making progress, but I have a lot more to do and I'll be gone the only 2 weekends between now and then, so I'll have to do it on weeknights after work. I'll get it done, though.
We've got two showers coming up at the end of this month, too: one in Monroe and one in Nacogdoches. After that, I'll have one more shower in November, but I don't imagine the gifts from that one will be very difficult to pack and move.

Still No Wedding Invitations
Word to the wise: don't order your wedding invitations from Paper Shack. This has been a complete hassle over something that should be very simple. This seems to be the way things are for me right now: if someone tells me something will take two weeks, they actually mean 4 or 5 weeks. Grr.
Other than that, thing are going okay. I have 1 month to get all my worldly possessions packed up to send across the country, so other wedding planning may take a back seat for a week or two until I get things packed and organized. And by "a week or two", I probably mean 4 or 5 weeks : )
I've had other fun things going on lately, too. A few weeks ago, we had our first shower/party. Stephen came in for it and we really had a great time. Our hosts really put together a fun party for us and we got lost of nice gifts. I'm very blessed to have so many wonderful friends.
I got to spend this past weekend in California. We had an excellent weekend together and I'm glad that I get to go back again next weekend! Both of us are getting very tired of flying, but it's worth the hassle. Only two more months to go!
