Um, Spring Break was amazing!

Holy Spring Break!  It's almost over, but I'm feeling so great!!!  I have worked my fanny off to get a ton of stuff done!  The amazing thing is that tomorrow I get to relax!  And I mean really relax!  I might do one load of laundry, but besides that...it's a do nothing kind of day!

As of right now we have 193 people coming to the wedding.  With 30 some people still waiting to hear from!  Then it's been a total crafty sort of week!  To show how much I have gotten done, I will highlight what was done this week!

2.  Table numbers- I need to find pictures of myself and start converting them to 4x6's.  Then I need to take all of Curt's pictures and make them 4x6's and see how many more of them we need.- I have a few pictures of me, but a lot of Curt!  So, I'm not feeling too bad about this!- I still have a few more to scan, but I'm feeling pretty great!

I feel like I did stuff today!

Last night was a bit rough.  Chandler was bleeding and it took a long time (okay, so maybe a few minutes, but it seemed like a very long time).  I think it was a popped hemorrhoid or something.  He stopped bleeding and acted fine all last night and this morning.  Since he has to get his rabies shot, I decided to schedule that for tomorrow- so that we can take him to get that done and have the Vet look at him.
I don't like it when something is wrong with Chandler.  He is already getting older...it just makes me tear up!  Hopefully it won't be anything too crazy!  I will let you all know once we know something!

Then last night I had some really weird dreams.  The kind that linger with you after you wake up.  You know, give you weird feelings during the day.  There was about 20 min this morning when I couldn't remember the dream...but knew it was a weird/bad one...then it hit me when I was in the shower.  Very strange- a guy following me and a circus theme.  Anyone would be scared with that!  At least there were no clowns!  Yikes!

Alright, so in trying to move on from feeling weird from the dream/nervous about Chandler/ and well life...I decided to get some stuff done!  Things I have gotten done today:

1.  Found a wedding topper and ordered it!
2.  Got my days off approved (okay, so I didn't really have to do anything for that)
3.  I found a gal in Olathe that rents wedding items!  She has lanterns- which I want to use for the Church!  We have a meeting set up over Spring Break!
Hmmm, well I thought there were more things that I had gotten done.  Oh well, I'm so excited...wait I'm going back to type #3.  Okay, I feel better with my list!  Checking things off one item at a time!

I'm feeling better, still a little weird, but I also just might be hungry.  Ha ha ha!  Okay, I'm off to fix up my lunch!  Have a wonderful rest of your day and peace out!

It's not personal

IT'S NOT PERSONAL!!!

When people aren't coming to the wedding- it's not personal!

When people have family plans or weird plans or stupid (I mean come on...just say you don't want to go to a wedding) plans...it's not personal.  Well, that last one might be personal, but they also might just hate weddings.  Which would not be personal.

I have to keep telling myself that...especially since I feel like right now we have a lot of people saying "no".  It's not personal!  

I have to keep telling myself that the people that I really care about- nothing personal on that either to the other people- will be there!  I know that if I host a party with 50 people, how many do I actually hang out with?  About 10...so I'm doing okay!

We are at 128 people out of the 310 that we invited!  

We are still waiting on a ton of invites as well!  The good news is...the less people- the less money we spend!  So, maybe I will re-think being upset and really just enjoy the lower cost!

So, it's not personal in either direction!
