6 weeks to go until the big day.
summer classes ended. finals over and done with. i’m all moved out. and i was on a flight home to GA yesterday.
i have about 10 days in town to figure this wedding stuff out before i’m back in UTAH for fall classes to start. james is busy being a world traveler right now in Argentina – visiting friends from his mission. i wish i could have gone with him, but the budget wouldn’t permit it.
budgets. booooo!
anyway… my first night/day home has been successful. Mom and I did some thrifting and found a few “gems” to use at the reception. then we ate ourselves sick of tacos from a couple places. though taste testing to find the best carne asada is rather fun! salsas and dips and chips…my tummy is happy/full. also, i’m pretty sure we found our winner.
…
seeing as we want to have more of a “wedding party”…
this little guy that we found at Mercado Jalisco will be joining us:
…yup, that’s a pinata!
i thought he was cute. a green bull!
he’ll really bring the FIESTA into it.
things are coming along nicely. i promise it’s all going to come together very well! – our country rustic bbq/mexican theme. Ha! odd? nah… we’re incorporating james and me very well into this. it’ll be a blast!
dress & shoes = puchased and perfectly fitted
suit & shoes = purchased (such a steal too!)
invites = printed… and now the fun fun addressing and stuffing needs to happen
menu = coming along nicely but needs some work still
cakes = it’s great having talented sisters and now sister-in-law!
decor = needs to be finalized with Lana
lots of little details to work out still…but i feel things are pretty under control and in good timing.
i’m excited for james to get home. and to go out and see Michael and June’s property (James’ brother+wife) where the reception will be held. i’ve seen pictures and have heard how ideal it is — finally i’m in town to see it!
.
bridal shower tonight!
i’m so blessed to have such great friends. My bestie, London, and her mom are throwing this for me. i feel very loved and grateful. can’t wait to see so many faces i’ve missed so much!
.
james needs to make it home from Argy not shot or robbed, plzkthanx…i miss him…
love, whit
p.s. – remind me later to tell you all about how i’ve decided to cut out all processed foods from my diet. hahaha…
