I can't believe the wedding's coming up so fast. I only have five weeks of school left (six including finals week) and then I'll be home and the wedding will be on us before we know it. Eek! I'm getting excited, especially since Al and I managed to get some stuff done last week. Not much, but enough.
The patterns here are a clue--they'll be used in the wedding (somehow, but I'm not saying how) along with several other patterns. (Mom, I'll tell you if you want to know.) I'm going for a very loose garden theme (I guess) and, since I'm hoping to carry some sort of blue flowers, a blue/green theme. Blue is my favorite color, and it's Al's, too, so it only makes sense. Besides, I think blue flowers will look very pretty with my dress (which I have to call on, by the way--I ordered it in November and haven't heard a thing since).
So what did we get done? We found something to put the cards in (very unusual, but something we'll be able to use in the house later), a "guest book" of sorts, and placecards--at least, my version of them. We wanted to finish designing the invites, but my lovely, oh-so-unselfish friend Dana was sick so we didn't get to do that. Dana did help me last night (although she is still sick and has her own big, final project before graduation to do) and we've almost got the invites finalized. She's just got to do a few finishing tweaks and they'll be perfect. I owe her a lot, especially since I probably won't be in town for her birthday/graduation party. (I'll be here for your birthday, though! And I'll treat you and Steph to a real treat to make up for missing.) I need to be home for the summer on May 5th, because my dear sisters-in-law and sister are planning my (our, I guess, although Al won't want to come) shower. A no-games-allowed shower since I hate wedding showers (because of the games) and would rather just hang out with my family. (And anyone else we may invite, which I have to figure out fast, because I don't know. Al's family? Gotta ask him--again. Any friends? Do I want to put them through that torture? If any of you want to weigh in, let me know quick.)
I write long, run-on-y paragraphs, and I apologize for that, especially tonight. I am tired after working (including a work-out) for 17 hours straight today. All grading. Ugh. That's what I get for putting it off.
Oh yeah. One more thing. I did a trial run with some new makeup yesterday and hated it. Anyone have good suggestions for makeup that will stay on for hours? Even on combination skin such as mine? I'm planning on doing it myself and cajoling someone (my sister? someone else who thinks they're really, really good at it and wants me to send them a picture?) into doing my hair for me at home that day at home. Don't want to go anywhere since I'm hoping to have a morning brunch for some very close, special friends and my family. Anyway, that's all for tonight.
Coming soon (by Friday, I promise): hiking gear. And two choices for hiking dates. Gotta crash. Brain is fried. Love all around.
