3 months and 3 days left!

Spring break has come and gone and we are now down to 95 days until the wedding. Holy moly! Spring break was crazy. I got a lot done, but I still have lots of things still left on my to-do list. I feel like every time I went to mark something off my list, I was adding 3 more things to it. Here are some things I did get to mark off my list. I was able to paint 5 pieces of furniture that will go in our new home as well as meet with our minister, doctor, wedding planner, and reception venue. We also picked out our wedding cake which will be super yummy and met with the florist again. Mom and I printed the invitations...they look great. And lastly I attended my bridal shower that my future sister-in-laws hosted for me. Everything was so pretty and I was showered with gifts and love. (Boy that sounds cheesy!)
The next Saturday we held a garage sale and made $163 which will go towards something for our home. James and I were at Lowes last night looking for a lawn mower and as we were leaving, I noticed they had their swings on display outside and so of course I had to go sit in all of them. I fell in love with one right away. I asked James to sit with me to show him how comfy it was and the necessity of owning it. Twenty minutes later, we were still sitting there, no longer talking about buying the swing but discussing the events of our day and what we had on our agendas and so on. We were so relaxed that we totally forgot we were sitting in a store parking lot. I love that swing! I am thinking that is where the $163 will be spent.
When I returned back to Valdosta Sunday night, I came home to find my bathroom sink had backed up and water had overflowed creating a flood that ran down the hall and into my bedroom. It is funny how quick your landlord will send a plumber over when you tell them there is a flood destroying the place, but it took two days to get a locksmith out to un-jam my front door. Luckily, there wasn’t much damage, even though I did have to throw away everything on my counter and my bathroom rugs. Plus, my carpet smells horrific now. I just keep telling myself that I am moving out in a month and I won’t ever have to deal with this mess again (hopefully). Speaking of moving…James and I are “house hunting” tomorrow. I can’t wait to finally get an idea of what our future will look like, even if it is just the house we will be living in!

  1. Sounds like you were busy! You've gotta have a swing! One day Aaron and I sat down in the gliders at Babies R Us and rocked for a good half hour talking about nothing that had to do with shopping! It was fun! Good luck with house hunting! How exciting to think that you are so close to being a married girl!

  2. Wow, you were busier than a one-armed paper hanger! I remember having energy and spunk like you but it is a very distant memory. I'm so happy for you and James.

    You gotta get a swing!

    I love you.
