14 more days how can it be!?!?!?

I've ordered the packaging for the wedding favors (it's a surprise) and some things to enhance the reception decor. This weekend will be devoted to working on paper projects for the wedding. I have my bachelorette party too!!!!!

Anyway...14 more days until the wedding! i'm starting to get a bit anxious. i had problems sleeping a few nights ago...it's pretty exciting!!!!!

Curt's excited because he accomplished 2 out of his 4 wedding projects. We have the marriage license and he has his wedding ring! It's super cool.

signing off!!!! cm

17 days and counting

hair trial 1...i'm not quite a fan

Yesterday I went in for a dress fitting with Kristen of the Dressmaker in Edina. After squeezing into the dress (it was alarmingly snug) i was able to look in the mirror and got super excited! I got even more excited when i completed the whole look with the veil. I'm happy about how everything looks together.

I also was able to see my dentist for a pre-wedding cleaning. My teeth will be extra sparkly for all the wedding pictures....hee hee.

The picture is from my 1st hair trial. The experience was fun, but i'm not super happy with the end result. It's a bit busy looking...which isn't quite me. What I had in mind was something a bit simpler....hope it all works out on THE day!!!!!

Shower with the Asleson Aunts

Sandy, Judy, and Linda
The Group

The two pictures are from my 1st shower in Mankato hosted by Curt's aunts. This happened late September. We played some fun games (a word scramble and a guess the cake game) and enjoyed some really yummy crossiant sandwiches. Curt's cousin Katrina was really helpful in helping with gifts too! Before the shower I met with Irene from Country Inn and Suites to do more planning for the reception.

we were once wee ones too

My guess is that we would have been friends....hee hee.

Back from Dallas!

What a whirlwind!!!! It's hard to believe that just one week ago we were in Dallas, Texas. Curt has a super nice recap on his blog. After a very logistically packed triathlon wknd we were back home in MN for a shorter, yet busy week of school. Both me and Curt had long nights of parent/teacher conferences. Since being back i've been recovering from a lingering cold...i can't believe how much mucus moves around in my nasal passages.

In other exciting news...we went to the Carver County offices to apply for a marriage license. We had to swear by oath that I was a woman, he was a man, and that we weren't married to anyone else living. While our right hands were raised I kind of thought...geez this is somewhat official now.... where's the music and celebration? In about 3 weeks we will be married!

Off to Dallas

It's been so long since i've blogged! Life has been great! The past month has been filled with lots of wedding festivities! Think lots of showers! Three! All in Mankato. I'll have to post pictures soon.

My days are spent making lists, crossing off items on my list, and making more lists. Between our wedding celebration and school it just never ends!!!! I'll have to give updates about the wedding prep soon...

In the more present moment....we are headed off to Dallas just for a few days. Curt has a triathlon. We're pretty excited to have a mini-vacation in the midst of this structured chaos!!!!

Other news...I got my flu shot yesterday...i'm feeling a bit worn down today...could be a combination of many things...right now I'm so tired my face feels like it's going to explode!!!
