Wow, I cannot believe all of the things that have taken place over the past few days!
I was so stressed out about my invitations and programs because I hadn't sent them out yet and they were going to cost a small fortune to print. (not according to Lori's when she got married! She told me that when she got hers printed for her wedding they cost a grand mouth-dropping price of $4,000!!) But all is now well on that end of invitations and programs! The files went to the printer, and FRIDAY I got to sit down with Derick (I stopped by and picked him up from work on his break), Lori and the printer and I all looked at the proof from the printer! The invitations and programs were beautiful! They were not printed on a glossy cardstock as both Lori and myself thought that they were going to be, but nevertheless, they still looked and felt amazing! They should be mailed and to the house no later than Wednesday afternoon! Which will be pretty good timing because I have a floorset this week! Whew! As if enough wasn't going on!
I also got to play Mario Kart on the Wii with Jenny and Paul :) That was a lot of fun, but a lot harder than it looks!
I think that I am actually in a pretty good place as far as getting things ready for the wedding and the only thing that has stressed me out so far were the invitations and programs!
I went to my grandma's house the other day to try on my wedding dress and veil so far that she is altering/making for me. I am so excited about that!
Today I made/put the finishing touches on Cassie's headpiece, my tiara and my shoes! things are for sure getting checked off the list! whoo hoo! I like that feeling of accomplishment!
Well, I think that is about all for now! I think I am going to take a little break from being so productive this afternoon!

Wedding bliss...or bills??
One thing that I really wish I would have known or listened to more before planning a wedding is how much they freaking cost!!
We are trying to figure out how much more money we will need. I am guessing that we will have to take out a loan to achieve what we want with this wedding. And by no means are we being extravagant. My parents are already being a HUGE help with everything but I think that I will have to take a loan out to pay for the remainder of the wedding expenses.
But money aside, I am getting really excited for the 'big day!' Everything seems to be falling into place! My grandma just emailed me and said that my dress is at a good point for me to come and try it on again! It is pretty much down to the little things on the list that are left to do! Exciting!
I will have two wedding showers as well. My aunt is throwing one for me at her house on September 20th and my sister and other bridesmaid are throwing one for me the weekend after that. They are also planning my bachelorette party as well! I am going to be very 'showered' haha!
On another note, I cannot believe that it is already September! Yikes! The weather here really felt like it too!
Well, I guess that is all for the moment. I shall be back!

The Great Minnesota Get-Together
I am SO excited for the State Fair! The people-watching, the art building, the horse stables, the baby animals, and the FOOD! YAY!
Derick, Paul, Jenny and myself are planning on heading off to the State Fair after Jenny gets off work this afternoon. It has already been a great weekend and it is about to get even better!
I think something that also helps that is the fact that next week is a short week for me. I will only be at work Monday and Tuesday. Derick and I are taking off for Medford, WI Thursday night to spend some time with his family, and I believe that a wedding shower will also be taking place!
I am getting super excited to start getting things on our registry. The sad part is that I have already forgotten some of the things that we had put on our list! I went back to update and add some things that we had forgotten. Thank goodness that both stores are accessible online!
The date is getting closer!! October 18, 2008! That is kind of scary and exciting at the same time! There still feels like there is a lot to get done. A lot of the little things, which takes up time!
Oh well, after it is all done with, I am going to have a lot more free time and not know what to do with myself! I am looking forward to that :)
