206 more days! Wedding Wednesday

First, I'll update everyone on wedding ideas, but first I want to show off some of my purchases from last night!

First, I bought this awesome pillow from Urban Merchant:

I love the way it fits on my bed - although I'm still working out how to arrange all my pillows...

                                              

I also received this precious card in the mail from a dear friend in Charleston - and another Bride-to-be! (I'll be a bridesmaid in her wedding in June):

So of course I had to pick up a card to send back! And I found the perfect one at Gladiola Girls:

And I found a Valentines card for Logan:

So much fun -- it was great hanging out with the roommates and we had the most delicious dinner afterwards!

So, onto the wedding! We officially have an appointment with the florist on the books and appointments in March to try on and order bridesmaid dresses! We'll go to three places in Richmond and since all of my maids will be there, I'm hoping we will come to a consensus that day. 

There is a SLIGHT possibility that the wedding will be bumped up to April, however. It's the only time I know Logan will be between sessions (finished with BOLC but not quite starting Ranger School yet) and it would give him all the time in the world to do Ranger School and Airborne. With the wedding in August right now, I'm so nervous he'll feel the pressure to either get through Ranger School faster or opt out altogether, and then we run the risk of his being deployed... it's all such a headache.

If we do bump it up, the only hitch will be bridesmaid dresses. And then things could get interesting :) But we'll know more by the end of this week what our timeline is. Is it so bad that I just want to marry this cutie already?

Grad school starts back up tonight - 15 credit hours until freedom! :) Have a great night!

A Case of the Tuesdays

Boy oh boy. Florida was a blast! The weather was perfect for the majority of the trip, and Disney was a blast. Here is me and a former teammate on Dumbo!

Coming back to work yesterday was so difficult - I had a case of the Mondays something awful. But, I had a productive day, got to the gym after work, made delicious egg white breakfast burritos for dinner, and crawled into bed.

Today is a little better - I wore my favorite Lilly scarf, a pink cardigan, and curled my hair - which makes it hard to be grumpy!

Bonnie, Emily and I are headed downtown tonight to enjoy an open house on Main St! Some of my favorite stores with all kinds of fun stuff happening.

I love being able to get out of the apartment, do a little shopping, enjoy the company of my roommates, and support local businesses! After shopping, we have a 7:30 reservation at Dish - one of my favorites! I cannot wait.

Logan is back in the field this week doing Land Nav, so I won't be able to talk to him again until Friday evening - I cannot WAIT for BOLC to be over! But, by the end of the week some of my wedding questions should be answered, which is very exciting.

I hope everyone is doing well - sorry for my hiatus!
