STRESS!

We are 42 days away and the STRESS is starting to hit.

My biggest stress: HAIR

I want it to be perfect, which makes me SO NERVOUS! Please, everyone, calm me with your comforting words (jk jk).


I'm not much of an up-do person, I'm thinking that I want curly to the side...but not a side ponytail. Also, I don't want a part. Here are a few pictures of IDEAS, I just don't LOVE anything yet. AHHHH!

So, I'm thinking....the front like picture number one, and the side/back like picture number two (minus the flowers). Then, once I know what I want, WHO IS GOING TO MAKE MY HAIR LOOK LIKE THIS??? Deep breaths. Also, how is it going to stay pretty all day long. Oh boy.

Second stress: CENTERPIECES

Why are we not finished with these suckers yet?! Oh, probably because they take about an hour PER flower and we have to make 90 of them (not including the bridesmaid's and niece's hair things).

But they are SO worth the time, they are gorgeous. I guess I'll give you a sneak peek of them...

I got the idea from etsy.com. I instantly fell in love with the bouquets but NOT the price of them. That was when I decided I needed to become CRAFTY and i figured out how to make them from scratch. All together (all 100 or however many we've made) we have spent about $35. WHICH IS AMAZING BECAUSE TO BUY 1 BOUQUET ON ETSY IT IS $110 PLUS SHIPPING! We made 12 bouquets for $35. It has taken a ridiculous amount of time though.

This is the picture that inspired it all.

Third stress: EVERYTHING COMING TOGETHER What if it doesn't, what if it is a huge disaster? I know it won't be, but I always think of ALL the 'what if's in the world.

Ok, that's all. I'm sorry to vent via blog. I'm just getting nervous. We have had SO long to plan all of this - "Oh we have time" - "No rush, we have all the time in the world" - and now it's becoming a reality VERY quickly!

I had my family shower on Saturday, it was amazing! I couldn't believe how many people came, it made me feel so happy and grateful that people were willing to come just for me. So, if you came (and you're reading this) THANK YOU, you will be getting a thank you card...sometime haha!

One more thing. Chris, Ty, and I started a bet: who can eat the healthiest for the longest. CLEARLY I'm going to win. The person who goes the longest gets $15 from the 2 losers. We have 3 days off: Christmas, Christmas Eve, and my birthday dinner. It's SO much easier to do a diet when other people do it with you.

WOW, long blog, thanks for reading! XO!

PS: I'm so proud of my sweet Chris, he will officially be finished with his bachelors degree TOMORROW at 2pm. I have a surprise date planned all out for him to celebrate. GREAT JOB CHRISTOPHER!
