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!

 =^.^=

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!

I realize I’ve still be slacking on updating this.  I’m going to try to go back to actually updating daily.

I am going to finish the invitations and mail them this week.  Really, I am!!!!  Also, we are starting on the dress this weekend.  After the invitations are mailed, I will probably scan on and post on here (obviously with some of the info removed for privacy).  I’d also like to journal the progress of the dress.  The new project is getting 1000 paper cranes folded in time. 

 I have lots of people interested in helping with various craft projects.  I just need to figure out what I really want to do.  Oh… and one friend knows how to fold origami sakura!!!  I think that will become the bouquet. 

I have some homework to do today and a couple errands.  I hope to be able to do some work on the invites before class though.  Otherwise, I’ll just work on them during class. ^_~

So… we’re working on invitations.  Can’t quite work it out though.  I’m going back to playing with colors and rubber stamps… I’m hoping before I sleep that I’ll have an idea I want to work with.

 We’re still tweaking the site.  Though, it is mostly the way we want it.  Yay!  Progress is good.

Ok, so… now we have changed our date back to 8 August 2008!  This is good because things won’t be so crazy hectic.  I do still plan on getting invitations out by the end of next week.  Now I have to redo my day count…. LOL

Today has gone well.  Had a lovely French test this afternoon… then Astro-Calc.  We spent some time working on the background for this page.  Maybe by the time I go to sleep it will be close to complete!  Played with the supplies for the invites a bit.  We have some ideas churning for that.  Also, I spoke with both my best friends today and made plans to get together later in the week.  Yay!  Actually progress is being made.  I’m so excited! 

Oh yeah, and I’m feeling (slightly) better today.

Well, today did not go at all the way one would expect.  I got up this morning and prepared to go to class when I started having lower abdominal pain.  7 hours later, I was out of the ER and found an ovarian cyst was the culprit.  Some resting followed. 

 I did manage to at least go buy the componants to create the invitations.  So, today wasn’t a total loss.  Tomorrow, I’ll try to actually work on them.  After the French test and Astrocalc class.

So, today has been mostly unproductive.  Well, that’s actually not true at all.  We had a great Easter dinner with my parents.   Several plans and ideas were altered, stream-lined to some degree.  Everything will now happen at one location and my daddy will prepare food.  Also, landscape plans were discussed.  The reason the day has felt unproductive is due to my lack of even starting on the invitations (because its Easter and all the stores were closed), and discussions dealing with attire being revised.  My dress is going to be the major problem.  I have some very specific ideas in mind… but since I wanted to surprise Michael with the “embellishments” I can’t tell him what the “exact” plan is.  At the same time, he has some ideas of what he thinks is an ultra-pretty dress.  He definitely has good taste, but the “secret plan” has to be doable.  So, we’ll see what happens.  At the moment, the guest list and invitation is top priority!  Gotta get them started tomorrow!  HAVE TO!!!!
