40 Days

So, I think I have neglected this little blog of mine for way too long.  I could say that this is because I have been busy with wedding things or have been too exhausted to blog, but those would be lies.  Truthfully, I have been a lazy bum lately and have been watching copious amounts of Lost and Sherlock on Netflix.  Really though, Justin and I joined Planet Fitness and have been working out a bit, and I have been able to spend lots of times with friends and family before it starts to really sink in that I have a lot of planning to do!

I had my first shower on February 2^nd, and to say it was beautiful was an understatement- mason jars, a bunting banner, and stripey straws were all included, and it was oh-so-sweet! 

Mom even surprised me by making a cake for the shower!  She should be a full-time baker, right?  Right J

I was so glad to get to see a lot of my sweet friends and catch up!  I had forgotten how much I missed Columbus and seeing these girls every day, not to mention family that came from out of town.  Justin and I should find an excuse to get married every year just so I can see everyone!



Some of my sweet bridesmaids- excuse the blink!



Lovely Lockhearts!



After the shower, we had a little bachelorette party in which my only request was that I get to eat crab cakes for dinner.  So off to the Grill we went, and crab cakes were devoured.  Success!

And NOW we have 40 days!  40 days people!  And honestly, I really don’t have THAT much left to do.  Bridal party and family gifts have been ordered and wrapped, decorations have been gathered, color-coordinated stripey straws are here, and cute shoes have been purchased!   I am picking up my newly-altered wedding dress in two days, and will probably need to be dissuaded from wearing it around the house, and this also means I should probably stop giving in to all my pepperoni pizza Combo cravings I have had lately.  Sigh.  Thankfully, UA employees get the entire week of Spring Break off, which happens to be the week before the wedding, so I am saving major crafting time for then!  I have never been one to over-stress.  Rain or shine, goof-ups or none, at 3:00 on March 30^th, I will be a wife, and besides, Mom has already done enough stressing for the both of us!

So in celebration of the 40-day mark, I have a few things to look forward to until then!
