Ooh! I forgot about my shower! Mines in a couple weeks and I have nothing to wear!

Jennifer – we’re actually doing a pub crawl. We’re going to get shirts made with about 10 bars listed on the back. The object is that everyone has to get a drink at each bar listed on the shirt and check it off. To make it a little more fun the first and last bars will be the same for the guys and girls but the middle bars are going to be different. That way we can be together but separate at the same time. I’m excited!

That would be fun! I wish we could do that but since FH is 23 and I'm 20, that wouldnt really work!I like the idea though! I'll have to find something like that we can do.

I also need to come up with some kind of memorial table thing. I was going to do photos of those who've passed but am having trouble getting the pics. Maybe I should just do a candle & little sign? Anyone else doing something?

I'm acutally putting pictures in seats. Mainly for my mom and Grandpa. I'm planning on lighting candles by their pictures and having like 10 minutes alone either with FH or alone with them.

Jennifer – aw yeah. You guys will figure it out. There are tons of fun things to do!

We're working on it! It's hard to coordinate work schedules too!

My invitations have finally shipped and they'll arrive tomorrow. I'm mailing them out Saturday AM.

Still to do:

*order roses for DIY bouquets and boutonnieres

*pay the balances to all my vendors

*gather pictures for our slide show

*decide on the location for dinner after the rehearsal

*book our room for Fri & Sat night

*book our time slot for Spa Day for my girls and our moms & aunts

*order my fan favors

*write up my program and send to the graphic designer then to the printers

*order our wedding bands

*purchase everything for the centerpieces

*wash the sand off of all our seashells for said centerpieces

And a crap load of other stuff I can't remember right now.
