    Holy crap!  I can't believe it's almost here!  FI is leaving tonight for bachelor party in Key West...lucky dog!  We planned on getting everything done before he left, what a shock a lot still needs to get done.  We finally finalized the seating chart Monday night and we didn't even start printing out place cards yet.  So, guess who's working on it this weekend?!  Please God, don't give me any printing problems when Matt is gone, he's my computer tech.   What do you still have to do?
    Are you done with your classes yet or is next week your last week? 
    What's going on with the house situation?
    Sorry one more question, what's going on w/ your honeymoon? Can you fly out now?

    I'll be sending you good printing vibes this weekend! I'm sure it will go without a hiccup. I can't believe he gets a weekend in Key West - that doesn't seem fair lol.

    We still have to finalize the seating chart, make the programs,  shop (and pack) for the honeymoon, pick up our 'fixed' marriage license (the dumbasses at Wayne Co. put incorrect information on the address section) and I'm DIYing our flowers with real stuff so its all coming to my house Thursday. I HAVE to get the house cleaned/organized before Thursday so I have someplace for aforementioned flowers. Plus my FMIL is feeding our cats/getting our mail while we're gone so I need to make sure there's nothing for her to find should she feel the urge to snoop. 

    On top of all that mess, I have my final exam Monday (bleh) but then I'm done!!!

    We got the house, now its just waiting to get a closing date - its looking like mid-May. We had to submit a few papers, and they are doing the title work and appraisal stuff so we should be all set to close when we get back from the honeymoon. Then we move in!

    The honeymoon - as of right now, transatlantic flights are going. Provided that stupid volcano keeps itself from spewing more ash we should be good to go.

    How's everything going with you? Besides the place cards, what else do you have left? You said you're coming to MI on Wednesday next week right? When do you guys leave for your honeymoon - right after? Mexico should be fabulous! Do you guys plan to go to see stuff off the resort or just beach lounging? I feel like I just asked you 101 questions lol!

    Thank you for the vibes...lol! 

    Congratulations on the house!  I'm so excited for you.  At the closing you will feel like you're signing your life away.  There is so much to sign and read.  When I closed on my condo years ago, I was so nervous that I thought I was going to pass out. 

    I'm giving you good vibes on the volcano and hopefully it cooperates! 

    We fly home next Tuesday morning and I'm an idiot!  I told my work I would work Monday.  I'm already regretting that big time!  DJ is supposed to call on Monday to confirm everything and somehow Matt & I need to do confession that day as well.  Shot me now!!!!
    We got the Programs done last weekend and I applied for the marriage license last night.  Hope they don't screw like they did for you....what jerks!  Hopefully I'll finish place cards this weekend and start packing.  This week I've been trying to confirm with all the vendors and make sure everyone is on the same page. (crossing fingers)

    We leave for our honeymoon on Monday (May 3rd).  We fly back to Houston on Sunday night and leave Monday morning.  We haven't planned any excursions yet.  Waiting to see how we feel once we get there.  However, I am demanding a massage.  Haha.  I seriously can't wait to relax with a drink in hand and on the beach.

    Katie ---

    Excursions - ZIPLINING.  Selvatica...you won't regret it...I swear.  Tell Jungle Boy I say hi...LOL!

    Massage - Don't forget the class on Friday...totally worth it.

    Relaxing - Try out the swinging beds.  The one furthest from the water is better.

    Oh, and whatever you do, DO NOT miss the Michael Jackson show on Friday night.  It is 100000% worth it.

    I do what I can. :)

    Also, not sure if you'd want to use it or not, but there is an awesome gym behind the theatre (just go straight through and out the back door of the theatre)...it's kind of off the beaten path.  If you can't find it, just ask anyone and they'll point it out.  We spent some time there trying to balance out the insane amount of food we were eating.  LOL!

    That stinks about work, is it possible for you to get out of it and take one more day?

    You are so much more on top of things than me. And I got NOTHING accomplished yesterday except going to bed early. And I haven't started studying for my final - whoops! But just over a week and then none of it matters because we'll be on our honeymoon having fun.

    It sounds like you'll have a blast, plus you've got a personal TA aka Taryn lol!

    Taryn - I think FI/I plan to take a anniversary trip to an all-inclusive at some point. I may or may not be asking for travel tips :)

    And I may or may not (you can bet on may) push HARD for an Excellence resort. :)
