To Do list

I have a few more things I can check off my wedding To Do list:

1)We finalized the photographer and are signing the contract this weekend, hopefully. We are going with a friend from college, Jenai Talkington. She is very talented and I am so excited to have her photograph the wedding! We might even have a “photobooth” area, which will be so fun.

2)I think I found a place for my family to stay, which is such a relief. They will be about 10 minutes away from me, and the place is very nice and affordable and really the ideal situation.

3)We more or less nailed down what songs we want to play for the processional, “exit”, first dance, etc.

I’m really happy because the wedding is turning out to be a big collaborative effort between friends and family, and I love that so many parts of my wedding are being executed by people I know and love. My cousin Jenna is doing the cake, my friend Elliott is designing the invitations, my friend Kevin is drawing/creating the guestbook, my long-time family friend Patrick is officiating the ceremony, my friend Dana is helping me with my jewelry, my Grandma is going to help me put together the bouquets. We have really tried to make the wedding about things we love, not the things you are “expected” to do, and I am so happy with how it’s turning out. My only complaint is I wish it was sooner than October!

V-diet news, in case you are wondering: The last 3 days have sucked. I’ve been sticking to it 100%, but I have not been as positive/happy about it. But I will keep on keeping on. I just need to focus on the results I’m seeing, that I’m achieving a goal, blah blah blah so on and so forth. HSM in 3 days, so that’s something to look forward too.
