The Start of the Rollercoaster

I previously stated that I was going to have everything ready to go as soon as the priest gave us the go-ahead. I wasn't lying. Here's what we have gotten done in the last week.

Invites ordered, printed, and shipped to us (not received yet)

Deposit paid on church, signed up for the classes needed for getting married

Questionnaires done and sent, waiting on sponsor couple info (rec'd on 2/25)

Free Play booked, deposit paid

Photographer chosen, deposit paid

Talked to hairdresser, booked makeup trial

Booked rooms for wedding party

Wedding website live

Gift registry live 

Brides stuff was already done, rings are bought, we need to still purchase some favors for our guests

Really, I guess that is a lot. I'm trying to not focus on the things I can't control (one class and the sponsor couple (update, we have had contact with the sponsor couple, so down to 1)). The things I can control have been done... and the stuff I can't are things I have to be patient about. Darn it all. 

We did go look at apartments on Saturday and of the 3 we looked at, one is starting to pull ahead as the winner. They are all too darn expensive and with far too many fees, but this one had the best floor plan, room for a dining table, and tons of storage. Every one we looked at had washers and dryers included in every unit, which was new. No more laundromat for these peoples! Hehehe. Now to make the final decision and start that process, too. Burleson has plenty of city benefits, and each apt complex is within walking distance of a grocery store, which is nice. I'm excited to live near an HEB! Best grocery store, ever!

After chatting with J, I'm feeling better about us being able to get all our paperwork in and get married on 4/26. We've got this! I've got to get rid of a lot of my crap that we won't need in the new place. All is good... we can do this.

in other news, I got a seester visit on National Margarita day! 

Complete with A and both of them brought their dogs! 

I finished jewel painting #2 and started on #3.

Fun with jewels. 

We need to drop some stuff off at thrift stores... I have too much stuff!! Also, aldi sells some knock off girl scout cookies which are AMAZING and taste 100% the same. Soooo yummy.
