Oops....

So, I have not been very good lately at blogging...I am sorry!  I had a whole lot going on though...between moving to the new house, Thanksgiving, my family coming to visit for Christmas, getting things ready for Christmas, getting Christmas put away, changing positions at work, and finally feeling a little settled at all things, I have just gotten back over here.  When you mix in trying to work on wedding stuff along the way, you can see there wasn't much time for writing!

The realization is setting in that in 3 short months I will be within 2 weeks of my wedding day!  WHOA! And I am just 1 week away from the t-minus 100 days mark.  The realization has kicked my butt in to over drive.  I have been working on the ceremony alot lately, and there is a huge trend in changing up the traditional vows and making them more personal.  And I have looked at a LOT of vows lately, but at the end of the day, I am leaning towards a more traditional take on the vows.  I like the idea of standing up there and saying vows that have been said a million times by a million couples.  Some may think it trite and so "done" already, but I love the idea that we will be joining our lives in s tradition that has stood a test of time.

In addition to the ceremony, I have been busy working on the "little details" aspect of the whole shebang...it seems like the more you look in to it, the more little details there are.  And it is no wonder people get so out of control.  But if you step back, and ask, will people remember this 2 months after the wedding, the answer is usually no.  Then, I try and ask myself if I will remember it 2 months after the wedding, and if I can't for sure say a yes, then I am cutting it.  Which is hard for me to do- I am definitely a details kind of a person, but I think it is important for me to get this reality check or else I will spiral out of control. 

And I would love to take this moment to thank my friends & family that I have picked your brains and asked a million times "what do you think of" this and that....your input has meant so much to me, and I am so appreciative that you have been willing to offer your input.  I hope I have not bored you to tears with all the wedding details and know that in a few months, the wedding will be over, and I will be back to normal...I love you guys!
