Day 45....

So Robert proposed about a week or so ago... maybe 2 by now but that's besides the point. Anyways. We set a date and for alot of good reasons we decided May 22. I know what you are thinking, that's only 45 days away, but we will make it happen.

I have to give kudos for all the awesome people in my life that are super helping me get this thing done. Felicia thank you so much for volunteering to help organize all this. Jill thank you for volunteering some of your decorations. Davey and April thank you for doing the cake and the invites, you guys freakin ROCK. (Robert's) mom and dad, thank you for having an awesome son that I love so very much, and for helping me with the whole temple thing. Mary and Neil, thank you for everything... literally... everything... you guys are my whole world! Wanda, thank you for just being you, and for agreeing to be my maid of honor... you are amazing. This means you have to come out now. lol

So I know 45 days until the apocalypse, just kidding, but on a serious note it is not nearly as much time as you would think. So far, I have an idea for the food, just need help with the purchase and the execution. I am thinking heavy hors d'oeuvres, something along the lines of meatballs in sauce, ooh maybe I can get MB to make her mozzarella stuffed meatballs. and the weenies in bbq sauce, Robert has been talking about them for days. Also, Sam's club has these little quiche, they are so bomb. I was thinking about getting a big fruit arrangement from Edible Arrangements but I think that might be a little more than I want to spend, also a veggie tray from somewhere, maybe Sam's or Costco. I kinda want to find some foods that can't some how mysteriously destroy the chest of my dress by falling and staining. I have a good habit with doing things like that.

The dress that I am looking at is a really pretty one, the only fear that I have is that I am going to order it and it is going to come in the wrong size or it is going to come in late. I am so scared of that. It's all good though I have faith that it will all work out. I have been pretty lucky with finding cheap things for the dresses. I found the temple dress I really like and it's cheaper than I was expecting.

I also have come up with some ideas as to how I want it decorated but I think I am going to wait a bit to cover that as the future groom has arrived and I need to discuss a few things with him. Ciao for now...

45 days and counting!
