Hi Jodi!
That workout schedule ROCKS! You are kicking some major butt!!
Like the others I will chime in... be sure and take a step back every once in a while and decide WHAT is worth stressing and sweating over. Sometimes we can get caught up on 1 tiny detail that no one would notice either way. Remember the BIG picture and think about what you will remember about your wedding and make those items important.
Just an example: my sister in law was freaked out weird about getting the bathrooms at the reception hall decorated. I mean FREAKING OUT. STRESSED to the Max!! I know the bathrooms weren't the prettiest. They were just bathrooms. She spent hours upon hours trying to find a way to decorate them and make sure they looked nice (and they did), but she missed the big picture. They didn't check to see if there were enough chairs for the number of guests invited, and MY FAMILY (yes - the GROOM's family) had nowhere to sit. Since we were all delayed for picture taking, we were the last to arrive. She is an only child, so just her parents needed a place to sit and her aunt had saved seats for them. We are a large family (5 kids plus spouses and children) and everyone assumed a place was saved for all of us. Nope. And no seats = no food.
Anyway, my point is... don't worry or stress about the little stuff. No one will remember if the ribbon is the exact right color, or if all the girls have the same earrings... They will notice the glowing beautiful bride and the beaming groom, joining their lives together in front of family and friends.
Now where did this soap box come from? How the heck did I get up here? A ladder? Can someone find me a ladder?? Whew... I am down, and slinking back to my journal.
