I'm glad things are working out!

RELAX!!!!!! LOL

BTW KY isnt bad. I live down at Ft. Campbell. Just know people here CAN NOT drive in the snow. I moved to ND at 19, so I know you can do it. Just keep that head up, say calm and go get a quick massage.

thanks lol. My anxiety disorder makes it easy for me to feel overwhelmed. knox isn't too bad (I stayed for a week with hubby late dec/early jan last year) but it's just not going to be the same. I HATE the cold, so that'll be a hard one to tackle.

I know I will be one of those people who doesn't know how to drive in the snow. lol in FL we've never had to deal with that

I think what makes me nervous is knowing that I have so much here in orlando that will need to transfer. I will have to get a new dr, new gyno, new psychologist, new psychiatrist, new rheumetoid dr, new pediatrist, new orthopedic, and who knows who else. I've had the same doctors that many of them have literally watched me grow up for the past 5 or 6 years.

So I know I posted it on the dis facebook but I'll post it here.

Tuesday I was on the phone with my planner when she told me that we have someone call and donate $4,000 towards our wedding. She cannot tell me who it is because the person asked to stay anonymous, but at this point I don't really care who donated it because it makes such a difference.

I'm getting closer and closer to hubby coming home from deployment. So much is going on in th next month! EEK! I'm excited and nervous.

I've been following your updates on FB, how awesome that someone donated towards your wedding! I hope that takes a bit of the stress off so you can enjoy the rest of the planning!

You are going to have the time of your life and all the stress going on right now won't matter! I am so happy for you that someone donated money to help you guys out. What great news!! You are getting so close, try to take a deep breath and enjoy everything, you are so close.

Good luck with the move!!!

Ok so I have some time to let you all know how things were.

Rehearsal day 1/2/2012:

I got up around 8am, had a cup of coffee, and started to gather everything I'd need for the next two days. I'd made some favors the night before and packed the boxes to drop off during our rehearsal with the unity candle and all the other little elements. 10-11am I had a wonderful massage at massage envy. Perfect for relaxing and helping relieve stress. Mom picked me up and we headed to Disney. While in the car I did hair, make up, and changed (I wear pjs to massages) into my rehearsal dress.
We arrived at Disney around 11:55 and we were to start at noon. Everyone arrived around the same time. I was shocked they all managed to make it on time as my husband and his groomsmen are HORRIBLE at being on time. We met Ron our officiant and got started. My flower girl usually doesn't do well with strangers, so she did a lot of wanting to be with my aunt or her dad/my aunts partner. The rehearsal went well and then we were off to pointe Orlando to have our rehearsal lunch at Maggiano's (an Italian restaurant).
Lunch was amazing. The food was soooo good. I surprised Chris with a grooms cake. He had no idea. I'd won it at a bridal show and no one knew about it. It was great. We had so much cake and desserts that I still have 3 banquet size tins filled with cake. After lunch the race was on. Chris was to stay with his family and do whatever last minute stuff he needed. My family rushed home since we hadn't been able to pack at all earlier. We got home, rushed to pack, then got back in the car and drove the 45 miles back to Disney to check in to the Allstar music. By he time we got to the hotel the temperature had dropped dramatically. It was roughly 30 degrees outside with a wind chill of about 20. We were shivering so bad and bumped the hotel heat up to 80! It was about 8pm at this point. Lunch had been 2-4. I had brought a French manicure nail kit that had guides for the white tip. Myself and my moh sat to do our toenails. We hung the dresses and were off to bed around 11.

Wedding day post soon to come

Congrats on getting married!!
