Crunch Time!

Well, I haven't posted in quite a while.... almost 4 months, actually. In reality I haven't really had much to post about because I've been a slacker bride. However, now that we are officially past the "100 days" mark, it's time to get serious. As of today we have 94 days until the wedding... and I'm SOOO far behind! Eeek!

I mean... seriously, where did all the time go?!?! We have had a long engagement (almost 23 months) so at times it seemed like we'd never get to this point. But now, here we are... a mere 94 days away. It feels unreal. I remember reading other wedding blogs and feeling so jealous that they were getting so close to their weddings. For the most part, everything is planned and picked. It's just the execution that I have to work on now. I think I may have taken on way too many DIY projects. I have eliminated a few that I decided that I could live without, but the others are important to me and I need to get them done. I realize that not many guests are going to really care about our ceremony programs or the pew decorations, etc. But those things are important to me. I want to set a tone for our wedding. I want to have no regrets when it's over. So while a lot of the projects are intended for other people to see, they really are for me too. It's my day and I want it to be fabulous and have lots of special details.

I've enlisted the help of my MOH (my little sister) and two bridesmaids to help me with the rest of the projects. We are having our second DIY "party" this weekend and then another DIY "party" in September. Hopefully we'll be able to get everything finished and I'll have lots of pictures.

I do have a few DIY projects to post that have been finished over the past few months... so hopefully I'll get a chance to post those soon!

Updates

Been too long since I last posted. Things are moving along these days. We are still about a 15 and a half months away from our wedding. Gosh, it seems SO far away... but I have to remind myself that we started out with almost 23 months away from the wedding so time is ticking by pretty good.

I have lots of DIY projects to post and recently have stepped up my DIY efforts as I realized that with as many as I have to do, I should probably get started.  I may be being a little over ambitious with the DIY projects but I just want to do as many as I can to make our wedding budget friendly and very personalized.

I've also been back on my healthy eating and exercise plan or the past 2 weeks. I took too much of a break during my birthday a few weeks ago. I'm back on it now though. Not just because I'm a bride-to-be but I've been attempting this for the past few years. I've lost about 35 pounds or so, but things kind of stalled after that point. I want to get back on it because I want to LOVE my wedding pictures and not look at them and think about how I hate my flabby arms and chubby face. I know it's not about how I look though, it's about the committment I am making that day. But I'd like to love the pictures that I'll be spending so much money on.  I also want to get healthier because we are planning on starting a family soon after we are married and I have already had some problems down in the lady parts with Fibroid tumors and such so I'd like to be healthy so I can be the best expectant mother that I can be. I want to give my future babies a good home for those 9 months and I want to be around a long, long time and watch them grow-up.

In other news, the fiance's sister is getting married 2 weeks from today. So that's exciting. We are considering using the same family friend as our DJ that she's using at her reception so I'll get to see him in action to know if we want to use him for our reception too. It'll be a fun time. I love my fiance's family. They are the greatest and I can't wait to be an official member of their family.

Anyway... have a great weekend, ladies! I'll try to start posting all my DIY and other post soon
