84 days!

it is gorgeous outside. i love it! sunny saturday mornings are my favorite (especially with pretty crazy daisies from my fiance gracing my table). i can't wait for when clint is here in the morning for us to share it. i would love to have a back porch to sit on and drink our coffee (because when we grow up, that's what we'll drink).

we have 84 days left and guess what. i'm just now motivated (but it's always easier to be motivated when you're just sitting there, thinking) to lose weight and get in shape. but i'm worried that if i lose a bunch of weight i'll have a hard time with my dress. i already bought it. i can get it altered, but what if i lose too much? i'm such a freakin' nerd. my mom yelled at me for this reasoning. but really, how late and how much can a girl get her dress altered?

i'm rockin' and rollin' with wedding planning. wedding dress: check. preacher: check. church: check. reception site: check. flowers: check. cake: check. food: check. start pre-marital counseling: check. cute shoes: check.

the list of things to do continues though: help clint pick out tuxes, centerpieces, find out about linens, invitations (do you really have to do reply cards? money, people.), gifts for wedding party, and i'm not sure what else, but i know this isn't all.

you know what advice i would give to all girls planning their wedding? ignore those checklists for brides. they will only freak you out. at least they did me. i got engaged january 9th (friday) and the following thursday, i was in tears because i was so stressed out, thinking i could never plan it all. so i ditched the list (totalling my car did a good job distracting me from it all, too. weird blessing from God.). i just prioritized and went at it. every now and then i get stressed out - especially when it comes to guest list size - but overall, i keep it at a steady hum of slight stress/excitement.

84 days, y'all!

  1. You are such a dork for worrying about loosing too much weight. You can always get it altered enough. Dork.

    Are you excited about your fabulous shower in two weeks?

  2. Hey, guess what? I just found your blog. I can't believe you've had one this whole time. Ok, I'm following it, now. Oh, and this comment is really from KRSITINA Rinard, not Sophie Rinard, as stated, in case you were getting confused. Maybe one day soon Sophie will comment on your blog. She likes to do that sometimes.
