Hi everyone!  I haven't been posting much the past couple months, life got a little busy and it was easy to fall out of the wedding mindset.

I hope everyone's planning is going well.  I guarantee you I'll be back to see all the wedding pics of your girls that were around when I was posting.

:::waves back:::  Hey I was wondering what you've been up to lately!

How's the license plate challenge going?  Are you watching the Bachelor this season (Michelle is total BSC and I LOVE it.)  How's your hand doing?

License plate thing is slow...  42 down and the last few are coming in verrrry slowly.

Yes, watching Bachelor.  Michelle is PSYCHO.  I read the spoilers though so none of it is a surprise to me, yet I still get sucked into it every single week.

Hand is good.  All done with the hand doc and stuff....now just hoping I continue to get the feeling back in my finger.

How are wedding plans going?  Are you to the double digits yet????  And good job keeping this board under control, they can be a rowdy bunch...

I know what you mean about the license plate game.   It took me about 6 years to see a Rhode Island license plate (granted I started when I was, like, 8 so I wasn't out driving all the time.)  I was convinced that they did not allow people to leave the state.

I'm loving the Bachelor this season!  As far as Michelle is concerned, I seriously was distrubed by her last week where she was listing off the girls he was going to send home.  I can't wait for her to be gone because she is going to have one awesome farewell.

I am getting kind of sick of the talks with the therapist though.  We get it, he was in therapy for his commitment issues.  You don't have to keep showing it.

Plans are coming along.  We hit the double digits last week which is awesome but a little scary all at the same time.  Todd was trying to convince me yesterday that "Make It Rain" was an acceptable garter toss song.  I played about 30 seconds of it for him to change his mind.

Invites are all done and sitting in a box in our basement.  I'll be sending them out in a month which is incredibly weird to think about.  Mainly I just want it to be here already though.  And I can't wait for a week's vacation.

Um, yeah, Rhode Island is one of the few I need...  I may cause an accident when I finally see it.

Eye to eye with you on the Bachelor thing.  Although I doubt that's really his psychiatrist, I'm sure it's all an act.  And Brad -- he's as dumb as a brick.  Seriously.  Sometimes when he talks, he just sounds like a complete moron.  Also, setting up dates where they blatantly expose the girls insecurities/fears/weaknesses is getting a tad old, too.

Um, Make it Rain???  Not so much.  I mean, I do love that song, but totally not appropriate for a wedding!!  I can't believe your wedding is getting so close...it's very exciting.  I can't wait to see your pics. 

OH!  And I saw your post about how the dress from Glee is the same as your dress.  That's so crazy!!  I love that show.

Brad definitely isn't the brightest bulb on the tree but he is nice to look at.  Plus some of the girls aren't either so it works.

I agree with you about the fear stuff.  Just stop already.  And I can't believe the producers set up Emily with the Nascar stuff.  I mean I know Brad chose the women for the date but come on that's just mean.

And why do you read the spoilers?  Do you like to know ahead of time what's going to happen?  Or can you just not help yourself   I think it would ruin part of the show for me if I knew how it was going to happen.  Plus Todd and I usually have pony bets going as to who he is going to pick.

THIS!  When I first joined I was one of only a handful of 2011 brides.  Now I see the 2012 girls and think, "that was me!"

@Emily, I read the spoilers because I have no self control.  And because I love the guy's blog -- he's so hilarious about his comments and seriously makes me laugh out loud.

@Sam, hi.  :-)

@Rachel, I LOVED Liz from the Parsonage.  Are you going with her??  I didn't know a thing about flowers, but I took her pictures of things I like and she did an amazing job.

@Sue, I can't believe your wedding is getting so close!!!  Are you keeping yourself busy with all your DIY?

Hi Julie! Glad the hand is doing better and so happy to "see" you it has been forever but I am glad you can back to visit!!

P.S. I love make it rain too but not appropriate for the garter toss Liz lol

Yep! Booked them for flowers, linens, and invitations. I had no clue about flowers, so, they were a lifesaver!
