The Countdown is on

There are only 46 days until our wedding. I cannot believe it!!! Time is going by so fast, and I know that before we know it August 2, 2008 will be here. There are still so many things left to do, but yet they are so small that it just seems like there isn 't much, and I already catch myself putting things off. I am such a procrastinator, and always have been. I think it runs in the family. My lovely maid of honor and sister, Kaytlyn, sent out shower and bachelorette party invitations, but the poor recipients have less than a week to RSVP. But hey, at least we got out the letter and its better than nothing and I know we will have a ton of fun.



This past weekend Lamar and I attended the wedding of Brad and Katy McDaniel. It was such a simple yet elegant wedding. Here are a few pictures from the wedding (more of the after party, called the reception)...

Both of my sister's are coming into town on Wednesday. I am so excited to have them both here. We are going to have my bachelorette party on Saturday and a shower on Sunday. I can't thank Kaytlyn, Rachel, Crystal, and Michelle for being such great friends and doing all of this for me. I have the best friends in the world!!! I will definitely keep everyone posted on the upcoming events and hopefully get pictures of my tea party shower posted soon.

My labor of love

The invitations are finished, mailed out, and most everyone has received them. So I figured why not go ahead and show everyone the final product. I am so very proud of these. I did everything you see myself. Everything was made by hand, including the envelope (which I actually don't have a picture).

So without further ado....

This is the folder that I created for the invitations to go into.

Once opened this is what you saw. The invitation at the top with the RSVP, Accomodation, Event Details, and Directions card on the bottom. I don't have a close up version of the cards, but if you would like to see any of it better, just let me know.

As stated in the title, these truly were a labor of love and I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I do.

My apologies...

for not being a good blogger lately. I can't believe it has almost been a month since I've posted anything. I have just been so busy with moving back to Memphis, changing jobs, unpacking, planning a wedding, and the list just goes on, that I have forgotten to post.

Well, let me get you up to date on all the happenings.

1. The invitations are finished and have been mailed out. These were truly a labor of love. I will post a picture of them in a couple of days. I want to make sure that the guests receive them before I put a picture of them here.
2. Kaytlyn (my maid of honor and sister) recently threw me a Tea Party Bridal Shower in Nebraska. We had so much fun. I will also go into more details about this later and post pictures (once she brings me her camera with the pictures on it).
3. Planning is still going full speed, we are working on finalizing details with the church, DJ, photographer, and attire.

Well I believe that is the gest of most things going on. I cannot believe we only have 52 days until the wedding. This month and a half are going to go by SOOOOO quickly.

Again, sorry it has been so long since I've posted. I promise next time I will put some pictures on here so I won't bore you with all the wording.
