ONE MONTH!!!

I am getting MARRIED one month from today!!!! I am so excited!!!

Cooking and Cards....

I have realized that work is the PERFECT time to write thank you cards! haha Not sure my boss is LOVIN' it......but since I only have 17 more days of work Im sure he will live =)
I have already rec'd so many wonderful gifts from all of my bridal showers (and I still have one more party on the 18th with work) and have rec'd some very NICE wedding presents as well from people unable to attend!!

I can't believe I am getting married one month from tomorrow!!!! I feel like the last 8 months have flown by so fast! I have to turn in everything to my DJ, florist and the final numbers on Friday!!! So if you didn't RSVP........you will miss a wonderful day!

And with only one month to go, my roommate and I have been taking turns cooking.....well, she probably cooks 6 days and I cook one.....but common, anyone who knows me knows that I can't cook......I burned down one kitchen already! :X
She is a vegetarian so I have been learning to cook healthy meals and I gotta say.....I am loving it! Its Monday tradition to cook dinner and then watch Gossip Girl! Monday was an easy night....frozen foods we just heated up! And last night she and I went out to dinner and then treated ourselves to some awesome frozen yogurt!! Sad thing is, I have lived in my apt for 2 years and I have all these wonderful different places to eat that I didn't know were there.....So before I leave Cali we are going to try them all out!

This is a picture of me PROVING to Kris I was cooking......it was the first night I think....so it was months ago! haha

A Month of Bridal Showers...........

What a month this has been!!!!



Last weekend my best friend Angie threw me a bridal shower at her house! It was such a blast! We had the shower with the girls and around 5 all the boys (husbands, fiances, boyfriends, friends) and kids came over and we went in the pool/spa and BBQ'd. My coworker Roger also brought his karaoke setup over and we all sang the night away! It was definitely what I needed after all this stress I have been under!



Then this last Saturday one of my moms best friends (who is like a second mom to me) threw me another shower. This one was more family and my moms friends. It was very nice! I got to see some old friends!!! The best part about it was seeing Vauri!! I miss her so much! She was one of my bestest friends in high school and with school and marriage and kids (well for her) we have just kinda lost touch =( Im so happy for her and her cute lil family!! She is the bestest!!! =)


I will post pics once I get them from Mia......she is so good at making sure I get pictures to remember everything!!!

And its here!!!

So so soooooo relieved that the flower girl dress came in!!! We had to do a special order on the dress and it was supposed to be here only a few days before the wedding.....BUT its already here and is sooo adorable! Summer came over to try it on and she looks just like a little princess!!! Such a relief. It was not the original one I wanted, but it is just as perfect!

Then, on the way to work I found out my cousin Jessica just got engaged!!! CONGRATS Jess andTodd. There are gonna be a ton of weddings this year with the family! My cousin Greg and Karina are getting married about 2 weeks after me! I unfortunately will be in ARUBA, but wish them all the best!

Today is going to be a wondeful day!!!! =)

The Stress Continues.......

So Im having a hard time figuring out what to use as my centerpieces. I've come up with a TON of ideas, but none seem to be "the one." Ideas anyone????? The flowers in my wedding are tulips and lillies.

I feel like everything the last 2 weeks has been stressing me out!! Almost everything is/WAS done....but I seem to be coming across more and more problems. I am now to the point of not caring what we use for stuff in the wedding!! All I know is, I can't WAIT to get to Aruba for our honeymoon! A nice RELAXING vacation!

Then I think of moving....which involves packing...... and I realize how much stuff I have!!! Then I think about living so far away.....I have never lived away from my family. I think that will be the hardest part for me! But I am so thankful to have Kris!

Kris is the most amazing man in my life.....well other than my dad. He knows just what to say and do to cheer me up! He does and will always support me 100% in everything I do. When I am super stressed and have my little "freak outs" he always calms me down and makes me realize that it really isn't that bad. Most importantly, he makes me laugh =) He is my best friend and I would be sooooooo lost without him! Yesterday I checked the mail ...and there was a card from him. (which could not have come on a better day) In it, was a love poem from him......very cute, but lets be glad he isn't writing for Hallmark!! haha I love him more and more everyday!!! He has shown me what a true friend really is and has helped me realize who I am as a person and what kind of people I want to surround myself with.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIA!

Today is my wonderful little sister's bday!! So since I do EVERYTHING last minute, I need to think of something spectacular to get her and run to the store after work. I tried to yesterday but couldn't find anything I thought she would want/like. Its sad, but this is probably the last birthday I will spend with her, as I leave for Boston in 7 weeks!! How time flies!

So my 5 favorite things about Mia are:
1. She is a beautiful person inside and out!
2. She is always there when I call her with my midnight crisis' and shows up with a sleepy smile to help!
3. I absolutely LOVE the way she does my hair! (and will be flying home every other month to have her do my hair!) Kris is already aware! haha =)
4. Mia is a THINKER! She thinks of everything! Anytime I didn't know what to do or use for the wedding, she would come up with a wonderful idea! Im so LUCKY to have her as my sister!
5. And of course, my FAVORITE thing about Mia is.......she is MY little sister! =)

What are you 5 FAVORITE things about Mia????

Time Sure Does Fly!!!

Im getting MARRIED 2 months from today!!! How crazy is that!!! I feel like it was yesterday I got engaged. (although I will be sooooo relieved to NEVER have to plan another wedding again!)
