Wedding Planning

I am so lost when it comes to planning my wedding. I spent TWO entire HOURS at Michaels Craft Store today searching for centerpieces and left the store empty-handed. I had some ideas, but I thought they were all boring ideas- if I weren't such a perfectionist this wedding planning thing might actually be considered fun. I think I'll just have to have my sisters and Rachel tell me what to do as far as decorations beacuse if it's left up to me it'll never get done...

This wedding is so expensive as well. Ryan and I save and save and I try to not get discouraged but it's difficult. I don't want an all-out wedding, but I want it to be beautiful and representative of the love and life Ryan and I share. Did you know that the average wedding cost is $22 THOUSAND dollars? I was shocked when I first heard that statistic but then when I started planning my own I realized how easy it would be to reach that number. No, I haven't even spent a fourth of that amount, but it would be easy...

Three months and and thirteen days...

Anyway...the rest of my life is going well. I'm happy, a bit overworked, busy, and tired. I worked twelve hours days for the last three days and boy did I work. The ladies I serve kept me running all twelve hours.

I didn't watch the superbowl, instead I watched a "Little House on the Prairie" marathon on Hallmark. I started to watch the marathon of "America's Next Top Model" starring Tyra Banks, but then I got disgusted and found the "Little House on the Prairie" marathon.

I'm working on writing my first book. I'm excited, I just wish I had more time to work on it. It'll take a long time to finish, but I know it will be worth it.

My little sister (age 10) sent me a few hand-made pictures of the wedding cake she wants me to have...she is insistent that I told her that she could pick out the wedding cake, I don't remember saying that, but I'll try to include her :-)

Life is Good.
