19 days and counting...

Yes, it's 19 days from today that I will be a Mrs. and Mr. will be a married Mr. I really can't believe it's so close. I guess every day I will probably think that since it's getting closer and closer and closer.

We got a lot done over the weekend. Mr. got crazy with the spray paint and painted our cupcake tree and basket for the programs.



Now all I have to do is buy some ribbon to put around the outside edges of the cupcake tree and maybe a little skirt on the bottom--not sure about that yet.


We did lots of cleaning up around here, too. I haven't mentioned Mr's other male child who is in the Air Force. He is coming home next Friday to stay for 3 weeks and then he's off to Italy for 3 years! He's very excited about Italy, but that's a long time to be away from home. I guess if you had to be somewhere for that long, Italy is a good place to be. It really worked out well as far as timing. If we'd decided to get married in the fall, he would've already been in Italy and I'm not sure if he would've been able to come home for the wedding. It's amazing how things are completely meant to be and God's timing is always perfect...that's just hard to remember in other times when things aren't happening the way I think they should or I want them to!


I hung another shower curtain this weekend. I was trying to wait until I moved my stuff because I want to use the silver hangers not these gold ones, but I decided it's not that hard to change them and I was excited to get it hung. This is in our bathroom.


Still trying to decide on the color of the rugs. I kinda like the tan, but I registered for brown and then these really cool ones with blue, brown and tan squares on them. Those might be the best since eventually the walls will be blue. Hanging there on the right side of the picture is one of our new towels, too! I am so digging using this new stuff.
The open house at my house went really well yesterday. There were 4 groups of people who went through and the realtor thinks out of 2 of the couples, 1 might be our buyer. The bad part is the last 3 steps in the basement broke yesterday when the first clients went through! Because the basement leaks, the steps had rotted. We went down yesterday afternoon and Mr. measured for the kind of wood we'll need to fix them with. She also told me that there was something wrong with the garage door. Turns out there was just a piece of wood that had moved and it was getting caught on that. That was an easy fix. I hope this house sells soon before more stuff starts breaking. I don't think I've had this many problems the whole 6 1/2 years I've lived there!!
Today is the meeting with the preacher to discuss the flow of the ceremony. I've got all kinds of readings, vows, suggested ceremonies that I've collected. Now it's just going through all of them to find one we really like. Tomorrow night should be a really fun meeting--the DJ--when we get to talk about the details of the party part of all of this!
