down in the dumps

So I am not having the best week, just down a little and pretty overwhelmed! Once May hits I am going to be going non stop with work & wedding stuff - I am trying to prepare myself. Everything right now is pretty low key though so I am getting kind of nervous that I won't be able to keep up once everything starts getting crazy!

The bridesmaid's dresses are in, I won't be able to see them for a week or two but I hope they look great! My dress is in between somewhere in China and Louisville, KY. Who knows! I hope it arrives soon cause it is getting down to crunch time for fittings and making sure everything is in order! The bridal store says that it should be there in a week or two.

Matt & I put down a deposit on our first apartment together! We are staying in BG, we had hoped to move towards Nashville but everything we looked at was way over priced for the amount of space we would be getting. We figured we might as well stay put until Matt graduates and we have more income to put towards a nice place close to Nashville.

Everyone is starting to get their invitations, my mom sent them out last week and she has gotten about 20 reply cards back which is exciting! I hope everyone replies so I don't have to call people... that would not be fun!

I have been doing my TurboFire workout for about a week now and it is crazy! At first I did not think it was that bad, but then I had my first HIIT workout yesterday (which means high intensity interval training) I almost died!!!! Oh my gosh, it was insane! I hope to keep it up and stay on track. Well that is what I have been up to lately! Cheers to a great week!

exciting things

I love me some Tori Spelling & all things wedding, so naturally I am super excited about her new show sToribook Weddings that starts tomorrow!



I am going back into my hair stylist next week to show her my veil & possibly do another run through of my hair. This is a picture of the first run through, not sure if I will keep it like this or not. I like it, but it is very heavy in the back cause I have a ton of hair! I am excited to see it all with the veil. I am waiting for my dress to come in also, I haven't called - I figure it would be better just to be patient but I am getting kind of nervous that neither my dress nor the bridesmaids dresses are in. I am getting ready to order the girls shoes & possibly make them some little stud earrings to wear.



If you know me, then you know that I am a night owl and I like to watch infomercials. I have seen infomercials for Chalene Johnson's TurboFire many many times and finally decided that I HAD TO HAVE IT!!! I started researching it - reading reviews, checking for the best price etc. I found a brand new set on ebay & bought it! Now I am just waiting for it to get here & bust my butt!



My mom is working on addressing the invites & I decided on the stamps which I love because I love flowers & purple is one of our colors!



In other news I have been emailing all my vendors like crazy - they are probably super annoyed by me, but I like to be informed and in control! Matt & I designed our gobo last night - which is a light design that will be on the wall at our reception with our monogram. I really like what we designed & can't wait to see it at the venue. We are also looking into doing some up lighting throughout the seating area at the reception - hopefully it is in the budget!! I am working on changing the centerpieces a little too, I will know more soon about that & will be sure to update you! Cheers to you all!
