3 Days!

The days are going really fast! Sarah and I spent some time at the Arboretum today thinking through some things. If the weather is like it was today (which it sounds like it might be) it will be absolutely beautiful!

Sarah and I tested out our wedding video too in the Macmillen Auditorium! I choked up a little because the slide show is so beautiful on the two HUGE screens above the dance floor! Just think...I got choked up after about 10 seconds of video....imagine how it will be on the actual day! I think it is all starting to hit me a bit.

I picked up my suit and everything fit nice...so that was good news.

Now tonight is all about getting ready for Sarah's mom to come to town tomorrow and also putting some finishing touches on things. We both have to finish up our vows...they are almost done but we have to hand write them out.

Tomorrow...the bride and I have our pedicures and manicures for the wedding (yes...we both are getting them done...I am wearing flip flops during the ceremony) and a trip to Sam's Club to pick up some last minute snacks for the families to nibble on during the big day.

Here is hoping the weather continues to cooperate!

4 Days...soon to be 3! Yay!!

Today was another productive day! It sort of helps that we got up at 7:00 AM for a trip down to Dundas! Seriously...it is summer!! We had to be down to Dundas so Sarah could get the windows tinted on her new car and so that we could drop my car off for some upgrades (tinted windows, sun roof, heated seats)!! YAY!

While in Dundas (that is where my mom and Dan live), we borrowed my mom's kitchen for some early morning baking! Our hotel guests are going to get a little treat of our favorite cookies. My mom has a wonderful convection oven, a nice mixer, and lots of room to spread out our baked cookies! It worked out so well that we finished about 3 hours before we thought we would!

I apologize for the poor quality on the picture...we forgot the camera at home...so I had to use my cell phone!

When we got home with Sarah's hot new tinted windows, she napped and I finished up some of the little details that I had to email out. We also spent some time burning the cd with all of our prelude music for the wedding! It is coming so fast!

Sarah and I wanted a break from wedding stuff so we went out on one of our last hot dates as a pre-married couple! We hit up the science museum! We had a blast exploring the exhibits and seeing the Titanic stuff with no one there! It is so quite in the evenings! I would recommend an evening science museum date to anyone who wants to quietly enjoy the museum without screaming kids!

As I finish this blog, the time strikes midnight! That means 3 days! With that...it is off to bed!

10 Days and Counting!

WOW! We are almost to the single digits! Here you can see the chalk board in our kitchen that we use to keep a count down of the days. It seems like just yesterday that we were in the 20s!!

Sarah and I have been very busy this week doing tons of last minute stuff! We applied for our marriage license on Tuesday and today we did some shopping. I got my hair cut and Sarah did her practice hair run through also!

Yesterday, we spent some time getting ready for the groom's dinner. We wrapped all of the gifts for our best men and we made the menus for the restaurant. We are trying to have a fun time with all of the little stuff.

Of course, this week has also meant making a lot of the final payments on the bigger items! It can be a bit overwhelming, but we sure think it is going to be a fun day!

This weekend Sarah is going to head home to hang out at the farm with her family and I am going out of town with my mom and brother for a big volleyball tournament at Trent and Angie's campground. Both should be lots of fun and good QT with family before the big day!

Fan Programs!

We are in the wedding month now! Scary! Not scary because I am nervous about marrying Sarah, but scary because where does time go!! It seems like just last week that I proposed to Sarah at the Guthrie. Or yesterday that we booked the arboretum and were 6 months away (that seemed like such a long time to wait at that time!!)

We have been jamming this week on wedding stuff and we finished up our fan programs yesterday. My aunt Sue came over on Wednesday night and we whipped through them...but of course, we ran out of ribbon. We ran and got ribbon yesterday and it feels great to have them done! And I think they look great! Now it is on to favor boxes!!
