As of Sunday, I had every intention of cooking dinner tonight. I was sure that by Wednesday I would be inspired. I was sure. Granted, even on Sunday I didn't have a clue what I would be inspired to prepare for my soon-to-be.
So as of right now... I'm blogging with a glass of wine in my hand while Dan cooks. Isn't he wonderful? I'm sitting on the couch, watching TV, relaxing and he's slaving over some grilled salmon.
Ok - to the actual point of my post.
I've decided that I need a calendar. I have the suggested timeline (Real Simple Weddings gave me that.) So I'm going to plug all the "need to's" and "get done by's" into an online calendar with reminders and such. I'm not really an organized person. (that might be an understatement) If I'm proactive and have lists and timelines I shouldn't fall into that category of stressed, crazy bride, right?
So, if our Save the Date's are late, if the invitations aren't quite on time... you can either blame the disorganization OR the glass of wine in my hand. (Personally, I'm going to blame the wine.)
Cheers!

Officially Less Than a Year
I'm sure most of you saw my Facebook post. Yesterday was one year. I was SO excited.
I mean, I was really excited about it. So as I was driving back home after a 'lightening-ed' out football game and a wonderful post game gathering; I was thinking, "Ok, what are you excited about?"
I mean is it the wedding, vacation aspect, the big day' bride centered attention...
Then I started worrying, "Oh gosh, you are being one of those brides who is only concerned about her big day - not the meaning behind what the big day is..."
POOP!
But all my concerns were dashed away when I got home. There he was; sitting at his computer. I had brought him food from the post game gathering and he was very thankful. He and I talked about our days. We played a little Words by Post (it's Words with Friends but we can't seem to find the REAL Words with Friends on our phones.) Sat on the couch together...
Yes, I am excited about a tropical vacation with my friends and family. Seriously, who wouldn't be? Yes, I'm excited about the wedding. Yes, I'm excited/nervous being the "center of attention."
But at the end of the day, I get to come home to Dan.
When I think about it like that, I'm more excited. Save the dates, invitations, photographers, cakes, dresses... really the only thing that could go wrong is one of us not showing up. I solved that one - he's trapped at a resort.
So here's to me - figuring it out; I get to be excited because its going to be super fun AND because nothing is going to ruin what I already have.
OK - this was a sappy post. Sorry. I did order a sample save the dates (I can't bring myself to call them STDs like I've seen on some websites.) Pretty sure just about everyone I know, knows the date at this point. But they are cute and they'll have some additional information... maybe.
