Time goes by... So slowly...

We are three months and one week away from the wedding... It seems like I've been saying that it's three months away FOR.E.VER! Time felt like it was going by quickly for quite a while but now it feels like we've kind of hit a wall... But I guess, the time will come. Things have been getting done one at a time and everything has gone smoothly to this point. I really hope that it stays that way!

Ever since we've started planning the wedding, I have I spent a lot of time reading a wedding blog site, weddingbee.com. I love reading all of these brides', called 'Bees,' posts as they plan their weddings. They hash out all of their ideas and feelings as they are planning their weddings, they post DIY tutorials, and then, after their weddings, they post recaps of their weddings. They tell all about the days leading up to their weddings with all their pre-wedding events and then go through their wedding day events as well. They post their professional pictures and walk all of the readers through all the feelings they were feeling on their special day. They let us in on all of the secrets of what didn't go perfectly and what they would have done differently if they had the chance. I have gotten a lot of great ideas from reading the numerous brides' ideas and experiences and taken some of their how-to's and done them myself. I also have made lists of things that they would do differently if they could go back, so I can hopefully plan my day and avoid doing things 'wrong.' It is really interesting to read all the different people's posts because of the fact that they all come from such different backgrounds. None of them seem to be planning a 250 guest, small-town Iowa wedding, though :)

I got a call on Friday that all of my bridesmaids' dresses are in at the bridal shop. That makes me very excited! I can't wait to see them in the right color and all in the right sizes and on the girls. (Even though I probably won't really ever see them all in their dresses until the actual wedding day) They are going to look so great! :) It makes me smile just to think about them all standing up at the front of the church with Trent and I.

I had always known from the beginning of the planning that I was going to be making our flower girl, Trent's niece, Taylor's flower girl skirt. I'm sure you've all seen the tutus that are made out of tulle, well this is the same thing except a skirt and not a tutu. I actually made the skirt today and I like it, but I don't love it. I will be seeing her next weekend, so I'll have her try it on and hopefully that makes me love it. Otherwise I guess we'll have to go to Plan B. (first I guess we'll have to figure out what Plan B is...)

That's all for now!
Oh, one more thing..... GO ROCKETS!!!
