106 days...Yahoooooooooooo!

Wow! Time is really flying and we have just about 3 months until the big day!Josh has been out in San Diego for work for the past month and I've been slaving away moving my classroom and getting prepared for summer school, so the wedding planning has been really slow...When he gets home next week we have to register and find tuxes that he likes. Before he left we made a small list of things to register for (we really don't need much, but WANT a new living room--Flat screen, tv stand, and a sectional)! We also went to Mr. Tux in the mall to see what they had for brown tuxes. Well, they only had one and Josh didn't like it. He wasn't able to pinpoint why he didn't like it, but it did have a little bit of a pinstripe through it--maybe that was it? Since he's been gone I found a local tux shop and she had a brown tux (with a different pinstripe) in the store and said she can order others (solids) from a catalog. The same day we went to check out tuxes, we went back to Jared to look for a wedding band to match my engagement ring. Surprisingly they do not make a matching wedding band. They had a few bands that we liked, but none of them seem to wrap as tight to it as I want, so we may have to get it custom made. I think we are running out of time on this one though so we'll see...

With much hemming and hawing, we finalized our guest list! We have about 150 people on the list. We aren't super happy with our decisions, but since we both have large families we are unable to invite any cousins or coworkers :( The cousins and coworkers added another 35 people onto our list and we just couldn't do it for size and money. I'm finishing up getting the last few address' for my bridal party, because I know they are planning a SURPRISE shower sometime soon! :)

I met with Josh's aunt last week about flowers and she had some great ideas. Instead of just gerbera daisies, I may have sparkly white roses in my bouquet. The more sparkle the better!

I have finished collecting the picture frames I'm going to use as my centerpieces. I now need to get my polka dotted ribbon and print off lots and lots of pictures. I hope to get them totally put together during the month of July.

The girls dresses should be in soon...here is a sneak peek for you Nikki--




And here is sneak peek at my flower girls dresses:



















I also called Michaels last week and they said they would take back the invitations that I bought back in January as long as I have the receipt. The more I look at them the more I don't really care for them. They are brown and ivory--I want brown and pink!!! I'm fine if I have to go with brown OR pink but I don't like the ivory since I'm not using ivory anywhere in my wedding! So I am on the search for new invitations...if you come across any brown and pink ones let me know!!!

I guess I'll wrap this post up and try to be better with my postings in the coming weeks! Enjoy the summertime and HOPE for no more rain!!!!
