Timeline: 9 weeks til Aruba!
Wow! 9 weeks from now we will be IN Aruba making final preparations for the wedding weekend. Seems so much more real to see that number in the single digits. That’s just over two months. Why do I keep thinking I still have three months?
- Accomplished in the last week: not much I’m afraid to say… We did FINALLY place that invitation order and put together our list of addresses. I had intended to have this done a month ago, but ‘life at home’ doesn’t stop because we’re getting married. We had a stretch of ‘one thing after another’ of things not related to the wedding. Also, skipped a workout and partied a bit so I’ve probably lost a week when it comes to getting in shape. (Am I the only one who’s one night of partying leads to days of bad behavior?)
- Unproductive time: spent many more hours looking for decorating inspiration. Really all I have to decorate is two long dinner tables. Should be easy right? Well since that’s the only decorating I really have control over I’m totally driving myself crazy and WAY over-thinking this. Last night on the ProjectWedding website I looked at 300 pages of photos (8 photos per page)! Then spent another hour looking at updos, even though I know I don’t have a lot of options with my baby fine hair. My biggest real decisions will be flower or no flower?
- Goals for this week: Get back on track with the workouts. No partying this weekend! Select a DJ — the DJ drama continues — I’ll fill you in later, find a welcome party outfit (ya, I know I’ve been saying that). Continue looking for some fun bhangra music for the Welcome Party and Reception – have maybe 10 songs so far…
