I should be doing...something?

Ok, we are about T-minus a month away from the BIG day, and I cannot seem to think of one thing I need to do. I had to get up early to go into work today (gotta love mandatory stuff on Saturdays, right?), and now I am wide awake and cannot think of one thing to do. The problem is, most things are done. Laundry, check. Dishes done, check. Floors swept, check. Wedding guest list up to date, check. Toenails painted, check. And nothing on TV, check. I can't think of a thing! Ok, the bathroom needs cleaning and I could clean the litter box, but this will only take me half an hour!

If you can think of something for me to do, suggestions are welcome!

And here is the wedding update: My fitting for my wedding dress was canceled on Wednesday and rescheduled for this Monday. Have I mentioned how much I love my dress? So excited to wear it! Brad's gorgeous (and completely sexy) suit will be ready for pickup on Tuesday! So excited for that as well. I know my future mother and sisters in-law don't like to hear me rant and rave about how sexy Brad is...but oh man, he is SO sexy in that suit. I digress, sorry. I am hoping to get our engagement pictures from our photographer today or Monday so we can pick the picture that will go on the invitation, so we can send it to the printers and get our invitations. We get to start sending out invites soon! YAY! And tonight, I am having a girls night with some of my best girlfriends and we are going to prep the favors for assembly a couple of days before the wedding. (If you don't remember this, me and Brad are making our own chocolate favors for our guests. I blogged about it a while ago if you want to see what we are doing. I can't remember the post, so good luck finding it :)

I think that is all I have for a wedding update...more to come later...hopefully...if I can figure out what I need to get done ;)

Oh...my...dress!

My dress is absolutely amazing. I mean, I hate to brag, but it's stunning. Absolutely stunning. I went to try on my dress on Saturday to have my first fitting. Me and my wonderful mother and besty Lorraine went to the bridal shop, Danielle's, where me and about 6 other brides were trying on dresses, and getting fitted. The bridal enthusiasm and tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. I totally understand because picking your dress is uber important, and you want everything to be just right. I definitely felt the tension when I was wedding dress shopping. So, needless to say, I kind of re-lived all of that tension. It was refreshing to know that my dress was just in the back. As we went to the back of the store where the seamstress was, I saw my dress hanging in the back hallway. My heart melted. I said, "There it is!" I was so bloody excited, I just couldn't wait to put it on. They set us up in a room and I finally got to see the dress and be in the dress I ordered 12 long weeks ago. I have to say that the experience was very relieving. I felt at peace and very content with my decision about the dress. I felt that this dress was completely made for me and is exactly what I want. I just stood there and stared. I stared at myself, at the details of the dress, the fabric, the silhouette, everything. I probably looked extremely vain, but I just couldn't stop staring.

The dress looked better than I could have hoped for. 12 weeks ago, I tried on a white dress, but the dress I ordered is ivory...and it is spectacular. Seriously. Again, hate to brag, but holy cow, I looked good ;) The details were just perfect, the dress was just flawless...except it was a little big! WOOHOO!!!! I loved that the seamstress had to take the dress in, and not let it out! So, among my staring, the seamstress was pinning and tucking and fitting me for a jacket that I will wear over the dress. Oh, it was just fantastic. I am so excited for the finished product.

I am definitely going to knock Brad's socks off!

Brad was also in search of a suit that will knock my socks off this week! This was also quite the process. We went to a couple of stores and he tried on a few suits. Let me just say, my fiance looks fan-bloody-tastic in suits. I mean, WOW! I think I blushed a few times at his shear sexiness. Brad finally decided on a medium gray, pinstripe suit from Men's Wearhouse. Brad wanted his suit to stand out from the other men in the wedding party, and boy will he ever. There will be no doubt in my mind that everyone will know who the groom is on August 5th. I am so excited about his suit. I know he's going to make me cry on the wedding day, the only question remains, will I make him cry?

Stay tuned to find out!

Brad and I had such a FUN weekend!!! We went up to Logan. It's has only been a week since we have been up there. HAHA! The reason for our visit was to take some more engagements with our brilliant photographer Ashley. I have blogged about Ashley before, and what I said in that blog is so true, she is wonderful! We had such a fun time taking pictures with her! She is hilarious and heavy on the dirty jokes, which oddly enough, makes for fantastic pictures!

We went to a meadowy/forresty area near Hyrum. Don't ask me how we got there. I have no idea. Whenever we go up to Logan, I am nothing but lost. Brad usually does all of the driving when we're up there, so I never have to worry about direction. Anyway, I digress, the area was absolutely gorgeous, the weather, was not. You can't tell from the pictures but it was cloudy and rainy and freezing! My arms were seriously popsicles. But we were lucky enough that the rain let up just a bit when we started shooting. But we had a blast and the pictures turned out AMAZING! Granted, I have not seen all of them yet, but if this is what the "sneak peek" looks like, then I can't wait to see the finished product!

Thanks Ashley! You ROCK! Can't wait for you to capture our wedding day :)

Slimming...fast

What is it about a diet that makes you completely aware of every morsel of food around you? Seriously, yesterday at work, I can tell you what everyone had to eat. As a huge sandwich lover (yes, I will pay $9 for a delicious sandwich), everyone had a sandwich that I really wanted. Oh, they all looked so good. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I hate being hungry...I love food, way too much to be on a diet! A diet = death for a foodie.

I have decided to go on the "Slim Fast" diet because I need to slim...fast! My sweet grandmother gave me her unwanted Slim Fast shakes and I have been using them as two meal replacements during the day. Yesterday was my first full day on the Slim Fast plan, and needless to say, by the time I got home from work, I was hungry! The day wasn't too bad because I just snacked on fruits and veggies all day, but I was ready for some hearty, real food by the time I got home. Carrots can only take you so far, you know? Luckily, I have the world's most thoughtful fiance, and he made me a delicious and healthy dinner. Mojo pork with a black bean and corn salad. YUMMMM!!!!! I know you're jealous.

To be clear, my goal is to lose just a few pounds so I feel good about how I look on my wedding day. I am not looking to lose massive amounts of weight in only two months. That would be insane. But if I could lose just a few so I felt like I look better, it will make me feel better about the wedding day. The dress, my face, the pictures, the honeymoon (eek!), everything. It's really a win-win all around. I admit, this diet is a little bit crazy, but again, I need to slim...FAST! I can do it for two months. Anyone can do anything for two months...and it really hasn't been that bad. Granted, it's only day two, but I am optimistic.

Wish me luck in slimming....fast!

P.S. My dress ships out next week!!! WOOHOO!!! So I should have it in the next couple of weeks. So excited!

Gentlemen....start your engines!

Saturday officially marked the 2 month mark. 2 MONTHS!!!! Seriously, I cannot believe how quickly the time has gone by. And since we hit the 2 month mark, we have been running our hind ends off! It's as if someone pushed the "busy" button for both of us and we barely have time to sit down and talk. The 'to-do' list just seems to be getting longer and longer, instead of shorter. We get one thing done and put four more things one. Here is what Monday's schedule entailed:

Brad- work from 0700-1200

Jordan- internship from 0800-1200

Jordan- run errands around town including, getting rid of Comcast service (WOOHOO!), meeting Brad at Staples to pick up some labels, going to ACE Hardware to have keys made for the apartment, and calling everyone in the phone book.

Brad and Jordan- lunch

Brad and Jordan- go grocery shopping because today is the only day we could do it

Brad and Jordan- Clean the stairwell and prep for paint

Brad- laundry

Jordan- tanning

Brad and Jordan- dinner

Brad and Jordan- sleep

The list looks a lot shorter when you write it out, but trust me, it was a lot to do. And the fun continues tomorrow!

I'll let the pictures do the talking

Thanks Alisha! You did a great job!
