What have you accomplished over the weekend?

Check: Had my bachelorette weekend! Bar on Friday and girls camping trip on Saturday - it was a wonderful thundery/lighteningy/rainy night. Whil I was doing that FI met with the officiant to go over the ceremony. (I have ZERO part in that and i'm nervous)

Still to do (with 12 days before): GET FI'S RING (yeah... don't ask), find a new DJ as our "friend" bailed on us, write down a "must play" list, pick out the ring bearer's and flower girl outfits (department store route), finalize flowers, get bridesmaid gifts, clean my entire house for the arrival of my OOT people, get fabric for table squares (for centerpieces to sit on).

I'm freaking out....

Checks: picked up wedding dress, picked up rest of items for reception,

Still to do: wrap BP ty gifts, mail some that won't be at rehearsal, FI pick up GM gifts, put together center pieces, clean house, pack for honeymoon, get FI to agree w/final reception song list, confirm with flowers, photos and cake people.

Struggling with: fatigue.  Doctor still can't figure out why I hurt everywhere, get migraines and am drained of energy.  Not good 12 days out!  Hoping and praying the new med she's trying works magic...and fast!

Checks- Ordered my engagement ring. Hahahaha I know I am like 13 months away still so I really haven't done anything  not like I need to. Went to venue with FI. (He tried to convince me we should get married at the top of the lighthouse in Mukilteo I said no. I want my parents to see/hear everything... so I won that one). We are going to put down a deposit in September.

I ran the warrior dash and didn't die

Still to do- everything...

Struggles- Poor FI's gpa passed away last night in Bulgaria and I feel so bad for him. He is trying  to be there for his mom. His brother irritates me- he came home last night after he heardthe news and just went with his gf to his room and didn't even give his mom a hug. I know he is probably hurting too but his poor mom was in tears in the living room. She can't fly back to BUlgaria for health reasons and so is really upset.

So anyways it was a high dramam night and now I am exhausted...

Jales and Sharingourlove we are getting soooo close!  Eek!

Checks:
- Finalized all the details with the baker this weekend, and splurged on a grooms cake to surprise FI with at the rehearsal dinner. 
- FMIL FINALLY reserved a place for the RD, that was really really stressing me out, so I'm glad it was taken care of and I can relax about that now.
- We had our last dance lesson, so now we just have to practice. 
- Finshed the bathroom baskets for the reception, I was really happy with the way they turned out!


To Do: 
- Hair Trial this weekend--cutting it really close but it's a friend doing it, hopefully we get it on the first try!
- Print Programs
- Make Seating Chart
- Print tags for favors (mom and grandmas are putting them together)
- Buy GM gifts (I think we're just going with booze)
- Wrap/write cards for all attendant presents
- Pack for the HM

I accomplished 3 blisters, a plit toenail, a bandaged knee, and about 60 mosquito bites.. maybe more.. not quite sure.
Oh snoqualmie is a beautiful place to backpack.. until you have to ford a river and climb through snow. />_< haha! 20 miles for the first backpacking trip of the season may have been a little overzealous of us.. :P

Wow~ now my 3.5 mi run is like moot I would be super whiney after 15 miles lol. 

firsttimersluck

haha sparent... Fi was super winey, and he's the backpacker! This is all new to me, but it's so pretty and distracting that it flies by!
After abou 5g of REI backpacking gear and now that it's getting sunny, it's time to utilize it all! Since FI deploys next summer and then we will be moving, this is our only summer to play.

Also, ironically, I couldn't run 3.5 miles. screw that. I can't even run 1. I mean.. I COULD, but you wouldn't catch me doing it.. EVER. I hit the gym 3-6 times a week, and NEVER does it involve a tredmill O.o So go you!! haha

That looks lke an awesoem hike though... I will have to drag FI on a hike now

I am mostly whiney when I get hungry. The more hungry I am the more grouchy I get lol.
