Well Hello 2010! I’ve been waiting for you for a looooonnnggg time. Luckily 2009 was pretty cool and we had some fun together…but you 2010…well I have a feeling you and I are going to be really great friends…maybe even BFFs.
And so it begins…the year of the wedding. I remember how long away 2010 sounded back when we got engaged in 2008…but what do you know…time flew and BAM…here we are!! Hooray!
So I may have taken a small break from doing anything productive for the wedding…ok so maybe it was more like a month. Anyways…waking up News Years day I realized that we were about to hit the 5 months-to-go mark. (holy bananas!) So I decided I should probably blow the dust off that planning binder and get back at it! Well much to my surprise that month I took off was a pretty important one in the land of planning check-lists…and now I suddenly feel behind! EEK! I guess I just kept telling myself I have TONS of TIME…what’s the rush?! Happens to the best of us right?
I declared this week “Get-Back-On-The-Wedding-Planning-Bandwagon” week.
First item of business…get in bridal shape! I already have a regular work-out schedule that consists mostly of running, so I decided to spice it up a bit by adding a little challenge that will help tone up my arms (hopefully). Push-ups…100 of them.
I saw this challenge a while back on a wedding blog (go figure…my go-to source for all things awesome) and figured what the heck…I can do that! So I am. Here’s to sexy wedding dress arms ladies!
Second order of business….or actually just a random hodgepodge of things going through my brain right now that I need to accomplish…
Invites:
invites by Kims Custom Gifts on Etsy
I’m loving this design with the two birds…what if we swap the tree for a windmill (similar to the poster)…yes? no?
Gift Registry:

Because yours truly has a little ol’ shower coming up in February!! I’m pretty stoked to start registering. 2 words… Kitchenaid. Mixer….nuff said.
Groom (& his Men) Attire:
suit from Jcrew, ties from Amazon
Now this one will take some work…luckily I have a life size model (AKA. Lance-the Groom) that I can drag from store to store and dress up like a doll. We know we want grey pants at least…maybe purple shirts with grey ties, or white with purple…or…well I could go on and on. I’ll save you the boredom and just let you know what we decide.
See what I mean…I have a lot to get done. I would like to cross these items off the To-Do list by the end of the month…we’ll see how it goes!
So 2010 brides… How ready are you??
