Good morning everyone! This will be a P&R, since 1. I'm deathly ill, 2. I have class at 8:30 and 3. I don't have much to update lol other than that we set an appointment to see a venue for next weekend. How's planning going for everyone!?

We booked our florist and Photographer.

I am SUPER psyched about my florist, she's like my decorating soul mate! MY photographer not so much, I really dragged my feet on this and I know I'm settling, but what can you do?

I ordered my STDs, and started working with designer on our invites, our return address stamp is already in the mail.

Blocked hotel rooms for our guests and worked on registry.  Thats about it for last week(end)

My MOH drove out here for the weekend, and we went shopping for bridesmaids dresses.  We wrote down our 3 favorites from Alfred Angelo.  She's going to check out David's Bridal in Albany, and hopefully I'm free and can join her.  I'd like to order them in January, so we still have time to search.

Side note, today is my 7 month mark!  I'm just a smidge excited :P  My day countdown is at 213, can't wait to be under 200.

Megan, your dress is BEAUTIFUL!

We've finalized the guest list (and it's grown significantly from where it started, yikes).

I'm finishing up the website so that save the dates can be sent this weekend or early next week. Our save the dates came out amazing - I highly recommend Brooke at Cloudless Sky Studios for all your paper and unique gift needs.

I'll be home for a week around Christmas so I've been setting up appointments with different vendors including our DJ and potential makeup artists.

My mom picked up my dress last weekend! And I'm reasearching ways to add sleeves to it.

We booked our Honeymoon!!!!!! So excited; we are going to a small private island in the British Virgin Islands- Peter Island Resort. I really wanted a quiet, relaxing honeymoon and this seems perfect!

Also have lost 5lbs since starting on my healthy eating plan 2 weeks ago! I am pretty pumped and once I get to 10 I'm going to try my dress on again! (it is at my mom's already!!) It fit before, but I know I'll be more comfortable a few (well, more than a few but less than a ton) pounds slimmer.

That's it for this week! 185 days to go! Yikes!

Oh yes, the honeymoon! That's FI's job and he started seriously looking into it this week. Right now, we're leaning toward a two-week trip to Santorini, Mykonos and Istanbul. He wants to be able to explore different parts of the world while I want to relax so this seems like a wonderful compromise that we'll both love!

Haven't done a thing and feel kinda lousy about it! We did a lot a few weeks ago, though. Engagement pictures, booked the DJ and the photographer, bought the dress, bought everything for my centerpieces and lots for more reception decor. I'm pretty much okay with taking a break for awhile, we are 100% focused on the house!
