39 days till our vow renewal!!!

I took my dress in for alterations yesterday. It zips up, but I would love for it not to be so snug when zipped so I'm going to get rid of the 10lbs I put on since buying the dress (ugh stress eating). I have 1month 1wk 1day to do it (lol). I'm honestly stressed out thinking of it, but I know I've lost 10lbs quickly b4 so i can do it over 5wks. I'm going to just kick up my workouts a bit. Since DH is home I can leave the kids w/ him and go workout more. Plus I can wake up when he does and do some work outs in the garage on my gazelle. I hate doing them here at the house but its better than nothing. I need the low impact because of a screwed up knee. So, yeah deff need to get 10lbs down.

Now, the length of the dress is what I got altered yesterday. It was like 5-6in too long. Thankfully since we took 4 things to her (my dress, DH's pants, DH jacket, and a pair of jeans) she cut me a deal on my dress. $80 to hem what DB wanted $200 to do. I trust her completely because she is the one who does all my ball gowns for military ball. She thought it was so cute that I"m wearing blue shoes. The congratulations coming from the other patrons was kind of fun. I didnt get that last time I was prepping for a wedding. It was all "Arent you too young" or "Oh you are going to regret that in a few years." It was nice. Even though we have been married for 9yrs it really does feel like this is the first time we are doing this.
 
Woohoo!! It's getting SO CLOSE!! :cool1:

I really love your hair idea, it looks beautiful. It will be a great choice in the heat too! And the boys suits are absolutely adorable!! The blue will look fantastic.

Glad to hear you got a good deal on your dress alterantions!

It's going to be here before you know it!! :banana: YAY!

Absolutely beautiful hairstyle Lil!! Just take your list and split it up into days...16 things to do, 35 days to do them...that's only one thing to do every-other-day! Everything will work out fine. Take a deep breath, and everything will fall into place!!
 
Ok, so so far we have

Picked out hairstyle
Gotten kids suits (woohoo)
taken dress in for alterations
Taken uniform in for alterations
Started packing
3 of 6 shirts done
my shorts ordered (lets hope they fit..i got them online)
My flip flops ordered to wear w/ my "reception" dress
Oh and the seamstress told me I dont need a crinoline because mine has one built in (despite what DB told me). She said it would make it too poofy.

Now, to get the rest of it done. I CAN DO IT.

D thinks I'm crazy stressing right now. Funny thing is his mom is stressing too. She cant figure out what she is going to wear yet, and she sends me messages like "I'm glad you figured your outfit out....I'm still lost." LOL. She kills me. I'm so excited for this to happen in a few weeks. Still pissy at my family for not coming and going on a cruise instead, but its ok. This will be fun. D is hoping to start leave April 2nd so that we can have time to really get things together. We still have to change the tires on the car (well, at least get a new spare since I had a tire blow out on me on the interstate 2wks ago), so he might take the car to get that done too while on leave. I really am super super excited. The closer it gets the more hyped up I get.

Oh and D has decided that his guys day (well more like 1/2 day) is to go Turkey hunting w/ his step dad and cousin. My girls night is going to be mani/pedis and dinner (maybe some drinks after). Yeah we are a boring group...LOL.
 
OMG I really cant believe we are 3wks from leaving for Florida, and next week promises to be a busy week. I am just floored at how quickly time is flying.

Last week we had to make up invites for D's COC and so we made some extra too to have fun with. We sent one of course to Mickey and Minnie, One to the White House, and then some to other celebrities. Today we actually got a response back (which we weren't expecting anything...just did it for fun to see if we actually would get a response). It was a no, but it was still pretty cool. The response was from George W. Bush. It was kind of exciting for both D & I. He goes "Wow we got a response from the Bush family". I knew what it was b4 opening it, but still...FUN!!!!

Here is a picture of the Invitations we sent

Here is a picture of our first response card...LOL

Now, we have been dealing w/ a lot of drama from so called friends etc over the past 1.5wks, and it involved our trip, but honestly I have felt so much better since we parted ways with them than I did b4. IDK what it was, but I feel a lot more relaxed. I will say it made me so stressed during it all that I broke out and had horrible stress days, so maybe that is why I feel better. But, I'm glad its done, and that Hopefully it wont hurt my vacation.

My friends and I are getting excited for our girls night out. We are going to dinner at a local Pub and then off to have drinks, but nothing major. We are going to just go have some fun. Its going to be the night b4 we leave for florida, so I cant get too drunk because I would like not to be traveling w/ a hangover. LOL. But, yeah I cant wait!!!! I know I need a night to relax.

We paid the rest that was due to our Harpist, arranged the hair and make up, got our stuff altered (OMG my dress fits great), got the boys' suits picked, sent the ceremony to Rev Knox, and I mailed off the cake topper. OMG Talk about nervous I'm so nervous that the cake topper wont make it. I emailed my planner last week asking for an address to send it to but got no response, so I just sent it to SOG's general address C/O her. I am really hoping she gets it. I did have a copy of the tracking number emailed to her so hopefully she will get it. I'm hoping it makes it in one piece too. UGH. STRESS.

Ok well, I have stuff to do. I cant believe we are down to 23days till ceremony (21 till we hit the road!!!). Off to shop for some capris
