-- I'm going to... --

Since today is exactly 30 days until the day of our wedding I'm setting a pretty high goal for myself...

Especially because I really have NOTHING going on...right.

I'm going to blog at least 1x a day for the next 30 days...

I know I've said this before, but this time I mean it! 

REALLY!

They may not all be long, but they will be here so come on back and see them!

And they'll all be something regarding the wedding...sneak peaks, questions, worries, you name it!

Today's post...

War Wounds --

Last night we had a great time shooting around town with Amanda and Kyle.  They rock!  Can't wait to see what they come up with!  :)  However, this morning I woke up with these crazy welts on my arm?!?  I'm guessing I must have been allergic to some of the grasses we were laying in or something...IDK.  Oh well...War wounds for the artwork to give to friends and have around the house!  Well worth it!  At least they don't itch!

Days remaining of unwedded bliss (wink) -- 30

-- Any Readers Out there? --

Just wondering if there were any readers out there...

I'm always looking for New and Exciting blogs!

-- Thoughts on Bridal Jewelry --

Not sure what to blog about today... I think I'll have to start a blog calendar. Some days I have so much, and others, not so much.

I think I'll write about what I'm wearing today... Today I'm wearing this lovely gorgeous Stella Ring! It's the Vintage Cluster Ring! The one on the right with all the pearls on it! 
 
I'm getting so excited to wear my jewels!!! 30 days can't be over soon enough!  I think that's what we are down to.  I'm going to be wearing all Stella & Dot Jewelry which really worked out well for me...  I was longing for a STATEMENT necklace.  Does anyone remember me on my search?  I know Stacey does.  She offered up so many ideas and I think I said "No, that's not really it," to every single one.  Thanks for the constant enduring through my looking though Stace!  You sure are a trooper!  I wanted something that was a statement, but still had that classic elegance and didn't take away from my dress...because lets face it.  I love my dress!  And if you didn't get a chance to read about my dress and the drama that unfolded with that, then you should...see here. 
 

But I'd seen many of the Stella necklaces before...I just never really thought they were for me.  Or wait...I should rephrase that.  I ALWAYS thought they were for me, but I always thought...no, I'll wait.  I'm a waiter...Not literally waiting on people, well, sometimes 5 year olds in Snowplow Sam classes (ice skating) but I mean like I wait so long to get things that they are usually gone.  Except antiques, those seem to stick around for a while.  Wierd, I know.  Anyways, I digress...I'm good at that.

Which one do you think I'll be wearing???

I'm still looking for some paisley fabric to use as table runners or something to break up the look of the tables and add some interest.  I also need to figure out how to decorate the church...any ideas?  I'm at a loss.  I had a ton of GREAT ideas and they've all just gone kind of kuplutz.  That's enough for today since this was supposed to be posted like 8 hours ago! 

I hope everyone had a great Tuesday! 

-- Semi-Successes and Bridal Shower --

Well the garage sale was a semi-success.  We made more than I did at the last one, but we still didn't do very well.  The weather was a major bummer, I think the fact that it stormed, it was so HOT AND HUMID, and our garage was in the back all played major factors in the lessening of our successes, but oh well.  I kept what I didn't really want to sell and everything else was loaded on up into the cars and taken immediately to goodwill once we were done selling! 

This is Lex just hanging out in the driveway waiting for customers.

Then Sunday I had a bridal shower that my Aunt Karen and Grandma hosted for me.  Again, it was HOT.  Hot, sticky, and stormy.  Lovely.  But all in all, it was a good time.  I got many of the things on my Registries --- for those of you who are wondering I registered at Crate and Barrel, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Target.  There was great food, great company, and NO GAMES!!!  Love it! 

My Aunt also made this cake for me! 

It's made out of towels. 

And here's the bouquet that we'll use for the rehearsal! 

All in all it was a good weekend while Mike was having his fun in Vegas.  I'm  hoping he makes it home OK today!
