It's the Weekly Recap! (And the Wedding Day!)

Well, y'all, before I launch into what I've been up to this week, I'll tell any of you who may have forgotten....today is our wedding day!!!! Yes, indeed! As you read through this list of leading-up-to-the-big-day details, yours truly will be preparing to walk down the aisle. Can't wait to tell you all about it. Seriously. Can't wait.

* Last Sunday afternoon, Ryan and I did wedding crafts all afternoon. Yes. He helped. (Melt.) And that evening, I had my (hopefully sole) bridezilla moment while we were packing. We worked so hard to pack everything we would need for the wedding and honeymoon. He wanted to see how much room it appeared to take up. You can be the judge of that:

* Monday I woke up with a serious case of the nerves!! Not nerves like "I'm so scared to do this" but nerves like "AAAAAAHHHH I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!" Had to pray my way through that! After work, I got busy putting together the activity pack for our trip (because we are overgrown two year olds) - and then I did my wedding pedicure. I did it myself because in truth, I really don't like salon pedicures. I am incredibly self conscious about my feet and hate to have them touched (except for by Ryan). So I wasn't paying however many dollars to be self-conscious for two hours! (Part of my something blue.)

* Tuesday evening I got my wedding manicure. This one was a trip-to-the-salon adventure. Oh how I have missed my Shellac manicures!! It was such a treat to go and be pampered for the evening...and as always, Debbie did a FABULOUS job. This is exactly what I wanted.


* Wednesday night I was absolutely pooped, so I came home and rested. After all, there's no time for the bride to be sick on her wedding day, right? So I decided to respect my need for rest and...rest!

* Thursday was my last full day of work before the wedding, so I spent the day crazy busy working to make sure everything was set for my absence. I got some GREAT gifts from my co-workers that day too. Seriously. The best co-workers ever. They showed up with gift cards and snacks and all kinds of stuff! And Jeri (you know, the one that made me believe 10K's are fun??) brought us these to use at our party the night before the wedding:
 * Friday I worked a half day (who does that the day they leave for their wedding?) and after Mid-Morning, I went home and hopped in the car with Ryan - and off we went for our wedding palooza! Nothing tests love like 24 hours in a car together right before a wedding, right? Nevertheless, we had a great time on the road!
* Saturday was the longest day OF MY LIFE. And not because it was the day before our wedding. It was largely because I had two hours of sleep and spent 2 hours and 45 minutes on the interstate waiting for a line of traffic to exit. MAMA. But we finally arrived at our destination and got all settled in...had dinner with our bridal party, and enjoyed a little party with our families too!

No Pinterest Inspiration this week.  I'm getting married. Everything came from Pinterest. :)
