Sorry it has yet again been such a long time since I posted! Life has officially become SWAMPED! The wedding is in 46 days and we are getting to the point where we ca do all the little things...and all the things that haven't been done yet. The priest at the church here has not been getting back to us, so we're trying to get all our paperwork sent back to St. Martha's where we're getting married so we can finish with the priest there. But nobody is returning phone calls or emails right now.
The house is still great, but we are def starting to find all the little things that are wrong with it. We got our bedroom set and we are FINALLY supposed to be getting our fridge tomorrow! Who knew getting a fridge would be so exciting?

HOUSE!
Thank God we didn't buy a "fixer-upper!" We have already spent over $200 on little things for the house. We haven't even started buying paint or the "big" things yet. Nobody told me buying a house would be so expensive!!
Friday is closing and I couldn't be more excited! We do our finaly walk-through at 1 and close at 2! Tanner has already started planning what we'll be bringing first...while I'm trying to organize 2 places merging at one time with the least ammount of drama and frustration. It's not working in my head which means it's going to be even worse in real life.
It still hasn't hit me that in 2 months I will be married! I had my first wedding gown fitting on Friday. It took all I had to make myself get out of bed after going home sick from work to go to the fitting. once I got there and had my dress on, however, I remembered the joy I had and that FEELING I had the first time I put the dress on and never wanted to take it off. I just stood there and smiled while she put pins everywhere.
We still have a few things left before the big day. We picked our readings but haven't fully decided on everyone who will be reading. oops! We also have our tastings (both cake and food) next Saturday, so thats 2 things to cross off the list. We're making baskets for our out of state guests, so we need to finalize and start buying everything or the baskets in June (don't want the food to go bad!)
School is over in 22 days. This year surprisingly flew by pretty quick. While I had my slow days/weeks, I am amazed that it is already May! My kids are ready for summer as well, but I don't think it has fully hit them either. They keep asking me why we're reviewing our DOG (Daily Oral Grammar ~ Language) already when I said we would be reviewing the last 6 weeks of school.
