Sorry for my hiatus -- My solider got his blue cord and has officially graduated from IBOLC! Here is a photo from before the ceremony:
But, now I'm back, and it's pedal to the metal!
The wedding is only (ONLY!) 130 days away and there is so much to do. For example:
- My wedding dress is in and I go in to try it on and pick it up today. I'm a little miffed because when I ordered it they told me they'd hold it for as long as I need, but now they're changing their tune. Additionally, my dress was 2 weeks late coming in, and I've heard nothing but awful things about the tailor they employ. Oy. But, at least it's here and I can take it to our family tailor and hopefully alterations won't take too long and I can get my bridal portraits scheduled!
- I pick up my wedding invites on Friday and am so happy with they way they turned out - I recommend Leen Jean if you're in the central Virginia area - she's great to work with and competitively priced! Plus, who doesn't love supporting local business?
- I reserved mine and Logan's room for the night of the wedding at the Craddock Terry Hotel in Lynchburg. I'm so happy THAT is done!
Things are slowly but surely falling together. My wedding shower is next month, and my sister is working so hard to make sure it's perfect.
I know everyone says to savor these months, that you'll never be engaged again, but with the move, work transitions, and wrapping up grad school I just can't wait for August to get here! I can't wait to settle into married life with Logan and start our life together.
Any other pre-wedding advice? It's all welcome!
