March Plans/Goals

BMcLeodTeam

Ok ladies, as per request I am going to do a monthly Goals/Plans post. This will be stickied at the top for the duration of the month of March to reference back to. I will start a new one the last week of March for April, and so on and so forth.

This is for any goals or plans you have for the month whether its vendor related, DIY, fitness/weightloss. Its a chance for us to put it all out there and hold ourselves accountable.

SOOOO on that note, I'll start

1) Complete 100 ribbon roses
2) Complete corsages for both mothers and both FSIL and SIL
3) Lose 1.5" off my waist
4) Pay off photographer (first vendor completed)

Copying and updating my list from the original post:

• Order wedding bands
• Contact venue to set up first planning meeting
• Draft ceremony
• Order shoes 
• Find a time when my Dad can visit so we can do the tasting at our venue
• Register for in store items at Macy's
• "Finish" online registry
• Make a damn decision about my hair so I can pick out jewelry and hair accessories
• Possibly book the rest of our hotels for the honeymoon

Italicized items are complete.
