I'm back! Now there's a lot to talk about!

Hello! long time no blog! I've been quite busy! I had 3 exams last week, I had to do a practice counsel on poison ivy, had group meetings, and of course I attended all of my classes. Yes! It was a busy week!! But, now I'm home all week for Spring Break! I have been saving basically pushing everything wedding-related back to this week!

This is my to-do list for or wedding this week...

1. paint flower pots
2. figure out something old, new, borrowed, and blue
3. book our salon for the day of the wedding
4. blog...yes I have to put it on the to-do list to make sure I do it!
5. scrapbook (not necessarily wedding-related but want to do)
6. finish invitations
7. appointments: decorator, cake, dress, tuxes, caterer, rehearsal dinner caterer
8. shopping for ties, flower girl dress, and shoes
9. make a map of the Enrichment center
10. figure our escort cards and guestbook
11. and a few other detail things that I'm going to keep secret

We have crossed a few things off the list already and I feel a little accomplished!! I still have the whole rest of the week left, too! I'm really excited about the weather this week; it's going to be gorgeous!!

So here is about our cake meeting....it was a little bit of an adventure if you wanna ask sometime :) It was my mom, Katie, Sean, and I that all went out to our cake lady's house last Saturday morning. We had a lot of fun visiting and trying her 9 DELICIOUS cakes!! I would have been pleased with any flavor she has, but we were able to narrow it down to 4 flavors. I may have spoiled by diet, but I'm not going to spoil what our cake will look like :)  I did post some pretty ones that we like in the cake post from last September.

After the cake tasting we ran a few errands then went to Bridal Connection here in Ankeny for Sean to pick out his and his guys' tuxes. He didn't really want a picture taken, but we made him. Like always :)

Later that night, Sean and I headed to Boone to hang out with his family.

After church on Sunday all of us girls went shopping to look for ties, shoes, and flower girl dresses! I was extremely pleased to see all the coral in all the stores!! Well, all stores EXCEPT for men's stores for ties :( We are still on the look out for coral striped ties if any one sees some!! Here are some pictures of all the coral we saw on Sunday
