Yesterday was a blur of activity.  We cleaned the house, moved furniture around, opened all the boxes of goodies we’ve recieved, cleaned the garage and took a bunch of stuff to the storage unit, dug a hole, built a cinderblock retaining wall, and met with our DJ and planned the music for the reception and ceremony!

It was a solid 12 hours of work.  I did not do anything to the dress, but we pretty much got everything else done that I’ve been needing to help with.  So, I’m really excited.

So, I’m going to go create a dress, and later we need to finish writing the vows and ceremony text.  Also, I have to drop off ribbons for the cake. 

I better get started.

and still no dress.  At least I have a plan though. 

We actually have 900 of the 1000 cranes!  Yay!

The pond and stream are almost installed! Yay!

Many a person has RSVPed.  Yay!

Most of the stuff is coming together.  I just need to get the dress put together… which I am going to work on right after I get back from a Home Depot run!

Woooh… we’ve been busy doing lots and lots of stuff.  I am actually going to start working on the dress today.  About time!

I just wanted to make a quick update… I’ll try and post more later (including and info page).

Well… we’ve been busy sorting through the piles of junk in the garage to make sure we have a “staging point” for anything we need to organize in correlation to the wedding.  Great fun!

I have been hearing responses to invitations and am still blushing at the lovely compliments!  I’m very happy they are appreciated.

I actually plan on starting on my dress tomorrow… I really do kinda need to get that done…

Well, today nothing productive happened… other than picking up Michael’s brother from the airport.  So, the 2 of them get to dig a hole and play with pond equipment this week.

 I actually did mail out invitations yesterday though!  I am amazed I FINALLY finished them. 

Tomorrow… I start on the dress.

Oh yeah, and yesterday my two sisters came over and we folded many an origami crane.  We definitely will have the 1000 for the wedding!  YAY!

Yay… with less than a month to go I actually have invitations to mail.  Woohoo.  Looks like I’m going to the post office first thing in the morning.

 Now… I need a dress.

=^_^=

Wow… so I’ve been working REALLY hard to get the invitations finished.  I’ve spent about 12-14 hours this past week on them.  I have a large group ready for the printed vellum.  So, tomorrow we will print vellum, then I’ll hand address them.  Hopefully Tuesday I really will have a large portion of them in the mail.  I feel really awful that it has taken so long for me to finish them.  Its not all that surprising though, I’m generally overambitious. 

 We have 94 of the 1000 cranes needed for the ceremony.  We plan on getting the rest folded this weekend at our “folding party.”  I also have to scope out the links my wonderful friend sent me for sakura origami.  I’m hoping there is bouquet potential.  Every girl needs a partially paper bouquet… >.>

 I’m going to sleep now… we have Taekwondo summer camp early in the morning… yay!
