The Dress

Today we had Keith and Nancy over. Nancy's one of my bridesmaids, and I've had her dress here, waiting for her to come get it. So tonight she and I locked ourselves in my bedroom to try on our Dresses. She put hers on first to make sure it still fits. It does! (She's super skinny, so we wanted to make sure it wasn't too big.) She'll need to have it hemmed, but that's about it.

So then we got out my Dress. I've been concerned about it fitting. When I bought it, it fit. But that was a semester ago, and this has been a stressful semester. (nuff said) But good news! It still fits! And I only need the bodice fitted. The length, with my shoes, is perfect... just perfect!!! I was so giddy wearing That Dress... ahhhh, I can't wait!

42 days to go!

The Countdown....

... is finally to a place where it makes sense to count down!

We are 45 days away from the Big Day. Many things have come together rapidly. All dresses, tuxes, flowers, cakes... we're getting so close!

Jordan and i are finishing up finals this week. Mine are already done, Jordan finishes up tomorrow. Now that school is out of the way, we are going to try to post more here. In the meantime, if we can't post every day, we set up my twitter account on here, so you can follow what we're doing that way.

We want to get this more up-to-date, but that might take forever and a day. So how about we just pick up right here?

We mailed out our first batch of invitations this week. We have more to come, but not everything is finished yet. But watch for your invite in the mail soon!

Jordan will be moving out of the dorm this week as well. Everything but himself will be moving in to our apartment... somehow. We're still figuring out how we are going to fit everything. We need a couple of extra furniture pieces, such as a dresser for him, and possibly another bookcase. But we've been slowly acquiring things to make it like home here.

My Dad is coming down to visit this week and to help us get the cars running. Yes, 3 out of 4 of our running vehicles are currently out of order. We are surviving solely on Jordan's Mom's van, which we are also trying to sell for her. So say a prayer that the cars will be easily fixed now that we have the time and the extra hands to work on them.

We have set up our bed frame, which will eventually hold a waterbed mattress. Currently my queen size box spring and mattress are, ahem, swimming in the waterbed frame.

Alcott, our cat, has sprouted to almost 10 lbs. When we got him, he was 3 lbs. He is still trouble, but also very sweet. Much like a child! He's our baby, and the only one we're planning on for a few years.

In other news, we have settled on a honeymoon location, and have the reservation booked! Thanks to Gram Cheney who had an extra time share, which was still available for us to use! We are only telling those who need to know where we are going. If you know, don't tell. :-)

Well, I think that is about all for now. This next month I'm sure will go by fast as we finish up wedding details, plan travel, visit with friends, and bask in the schoollessness of summer. We're hoping to go on at least one camping trip with friends. We have decided to keep a travel diary, beginning this month, of all of our escapades. We may post the journal entries here, or we may just wait until the journal is full, then publish it, make lots of money and take a second honeymoon...hmm, that sounds pretty nice!

Anyways, keep checking back for updates on the wedding and just on us! You can also check out my blog at Inimitable Introspection.
