So M.I.A...but tons of checks!

RaeRae1126

I've been on the Knot zero times in almost a month! Finals are next week, we've been installing hardwood floors in our house...by ourselves, and then Thanksgiving and my bday on the 26th...life is so nuts right now.

I have however managed to take engagement pics, order/receive/mail STDSr, bought my dress! It comes in in early January, FINALLY booked videographer and makeup. We chose bridesmaids dresses and formalwear for the guys. And finalized my flowers/reception decor...all this in the month of November!! I'm exhausted. I think after we get the last few STDs out, I will take a break until Christmas is over.

Here's a pic of our STD and also the dress I chose. Not the greatest pic b/c it was a little big b/c it was a sample but you get the idea

Glad to hear you're getting things done despite the madness! I know how you feel. Our finals are next week too and I'm graduating! EEEK!

Oh, congrats! Are you walking in the graduation? When I got my bachelor's degree I didn't. I was just glad to be finished!!

yay for all the checks! your STDs are great! I LOVE that pic of you "kicking" your FI! I've never seen that before! And your dress is gorgeous. I'm taking a break myself until after the holidays, but not because I want to... I just need more $! lol

Haha..thanks! That pic is our fave and just came from us goofing off. Our photographer saw us messing around and asked us to do it again..Im always up for throwing out a karate kick and my FI is excellent at timing the "jump" photos! LOL

</div><div>Yeah I'm walking, but since it's the winter ceremony, there are waaay fewer grads and they separate it by college rather than do all of the university's grads. If I was graduating in the summer, then I probably would not be walking!

 <div>Oh, how cool! Yes, we have great taste for sure. I wasnt sold on the sash that came with the dress.The one in the pic is just a plain ivory sash with a brooch pinned on. I may go that route with my dress, not sure yet!</div>
