My mind won't be still...
I can finally see a little light at the end of the tunnel! My shows are coming down in rehearsals as are the days until I'm married! Yahoo!!!
13 more Cinderella, 17 more Aladdin, and 76 (she says with a question) more days until the wedding! I still have a ton of things to do, but for now...I'm doing okay! The biggest thing on my list is getting my invites out! I have had them ready to go (minus sealing the envelopes) since New Year's Eve! I do this a lot! I feel like it's going to take a while so I put it off! I'm about 2 weeks behind from where I would like to be with them.
Oh well! I will get them out by this weekend (that is the goal)! And I will still be over 2 months out! Most people were a little shocked that I was going to send them out so soon! So, I it's fine! It will be really fine once they are gone and away from me!
The other thing that is really weighing on me are the table numbers. Only because I have to get pictures put together and I have not done that at all! Curt's mom got me some of his pictures. But I will probably need more. However- I have a few of him- 20 and older. So, that might work. Do you all mind when I type my thinking out loud thoughts? Wow, does that even make sense?
This weekend I'm so excited because I get to have my first fitting! I can not believe that things are coming together! So excited! Quick thought- when ordering your pictures take the time to get the matte finishes. That way they will send them to your house and they won't be shiny.
Other thoughts besides the wedding- What?!?!? I'm shocked! Ha ha ha
I'm not sure how anyone else's mind works, but my mind moves at 1000 thoughts per minute! I am talking about one idea and another idea pops into my head. Then I have a 3rd idea that pops into my head, that will go a long with the first idea and sort of with the second idea. If I could just figure out how to connect the three.
Anyway- that was a really simplified way of looking at it! I guess use the above thought process with about 75 separate ideas. Ha ha ha!
I guess for me, I need to slow it down! I need to focus on one thing and once that one thing is done, then we can move on to the next thing. Doing this will help my schedule claustrophobia! I can't look at the whole week and what I have to do every day. I should only look at one day at a time! Or look at the entire week on Sunday- but then focus on the individual days! Slow it down! My goal for this week is to work on the invites! To get them mailed out! It won't be hard once I get started! So what am I waiting for! Just start!
I will start once everyone leaves for the day 1:10! Bye for now!

A list, I needed a list!
I know that I should post about the 2nd week of spring break, but I'm too focused on making a game plan for the wedding! It's only 89 days away! And I have 2 shows, Parent/Teacher Conferences, Progress Reports, 3rd Quarter Grades, Enrollment, Bridal showers...all of this on top of planning a wedding! My mind is screaming- make a list! Make a list! You just need to know exactly what you are going to do and when! Okay, so exactly seems extreme! I just need to have a time line...so that I don't forget anything!
So, here we go!
1. Centerpieces- spray paint the tall vases and that one lone one- this weekend is supposed to be 50's outside. So, I will try to get those painted this next weekend (Saturday, Sunday, or Monday)
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.

17. Ceremony Decorations- Lanterns, Chests, Fabric Draping?
18. Ceremony Readings

The first half of winter break!
So, winter break is over! The second semester has begun and we are at 95 days and counting! There are times when I think- 95 days until the wedding! That is way to much time! Then I have the panic moments, when I think...I have got to get starting doing stuff!!! Oh my goodness...I'm going to be so behind!
So, let me see!
Winter Break-
I watched my nephews and niece! We had a sleep over! I like to do this over the holiday season! It gives my sister and BIL a chance to go Christmas shopping, wrap gifts, and do anything they need to do before the big day! It's normally earlier in the month, but this year our schedules did not match up! But it worked out perfectly! We had a blast!
I made a pinterest skirt! It was amazing! I'm very proud of making it...it was not easy! 7 yards of tool is never going to be easy! But it turned out great! I even wore it for my bachelorette party, but we will talk about that later!
Alderman Christmas- we had 2.5 days of relaxation with my future family! I love them to death! We actually took a family picture! It was the first one that I have seen them take in the 6 years that we have been dating! We also took some couple pictures as well! It was just great!
Arnott Christmas- We left Christmas Eve and headed to my church for the Christmas Eve service.
We then went and enjoyed a nice Christmas Eve dinner! During that dinner we decided to save the worlds problems! Love is the solution for all! If everyone loved everyone else, then no one would find the need to hurt anyone! Done, thank you, I will bill you all later! The next day we had Christmas at the Peterson's house! Curt had to work, but was able to hang out for a bit in the morning and then come over after work! He is a real trooper!
It had been three years since everyone was together for a major holiday! A family picture with everyone...amazing! We had a wonderful day and I feel very blessed that I have 2 amazing families!
Okay, enough with the super cheesy, sappy stuff!
Christmas was on a Thursday, my cousin turned 21 on Friday! So of course we had to go out and celebrate! It's not every day that my cousin/bridesmaid turns 21! We went out to dinner with the fam and then danced the night away at Kanza! Good times!
Saturday was my Bachelorette Party!!! It was a Barbie themed party! And it was amazing!
I was "Workout Barbie"! Which included some 80's leggings and an amazing "Bride" sweatshirt! When I first got it, I didn't realize that it said Bride. I thought it said Barbie. After I put it on, I looked in the mirror and thought "I think they spelled Barbie" wrong. That was a special moment for me! It was early, we went out the night before for Nicole's birthday...okay, it was just a dumb blonde moment!
My sisters and I before the workout...or maybe after! I can't remember! They are wearing their amazing MOH socks that I got them! I was mad for a while that I forgot mine, but was then happy since I got so hot while working out!
Here is the group that took the class with us! My wonderful friend Annie was our instructor! Here you can see my mom, my sisters, my bridesmaids Nicole, Celia and Betsy, and my amazing friends Emily, Ashley, and Melissa! Each event had a select group of people! To mix things up and to make it so that not everyone had to be there all day long!
After our workout, a lunch at Panera was the only smart thing to do! I won't show you pictures of that...my face is so red and I look all sweaty! Ha ha ha! We were able to go home after lunch, shower and get ready to be "Movie Star Barbie"!
My sisters rented out a small theatre to watch the movie Bridesmaids! I love that movie and it just makes everyone laugh! There was movie popcorn, movie candy, and my movie star family!
Above you can see some of the snacks! My dad and other male family members help set this up! Dana's friend, Angela, was our connection to the small theatre! It was perfect! You can also see the amazing outfit that I was provided to wear!
To the Right you can see my family- Heather, Megan, Nicole, Dana, myself, and Sarah acting out the cover of the movie! So amazing!
To the left you can see the picture of the small theatre that we were in! So cute and a pefectly relaxing afternoon with wonderful people and a funny movie!
The final Barbie of the evening was "Bridal Barbie"! After the movie we went back to my sister's house for the big event! Everyone was paiting canvas' for Curt and I to hang (I'm into the do it yourself stuff...ha ha ha)! Then we went to dinner, took pictures in a Barbie Box, and I opened my gifts! Below you can see a few of the pictures of us in the Barbie box! Everyone dressed as their favorite barbie! It was the perfect night for me!
Here is the amazing Barbie Box! My Dad, BIL Mike, and BIL Mishi put it together! They spray painted the letters, Mishi hand drew the Barbie head, and they wrapped the box itself! Brilliant! Brilliant!! Brilliant!!!
We ended the night playing "Cards Against Humanity- the Marriage Version"! I had a blast! It was amazing and I can not thank my sisters enough for putting this together! Here are a few more pictures! I will write more about the rest of winter break! But I was so excited to get this written down! One week of winter break blogged! So much was done, so much fun was had...at least by me! I think my sisters might have been relieved when it was over!
So, let me see!

Be aware and safe this holiday season!
Holiday Warning
Look there are things that are stressful during this holiday season. For me, it's money! I mean, money is always stressing me out!
Here is the thing, it's the holiday's and we can't let these type of things stress us out. Not the little things at least...that will all be okay!
Here is why I'm warning you all!
Last night, I went and bought a few more things for the wedding! I bought a few more gifts, and I bought dinner for Curt and myself. When I was buying dinner one of my cards got declined (I knew there had to be money on it...I had just gotten paid. Oh well, I will check when I get home.) So I used my other card. Then I started to panic about how much I have been spending! It's been so much! With the wedding and then Christmas! I mean, I feel a little out of control!
So, I pull up to a stop sign...getting more and more annoyed with my spending. The guy in front of me goes. Then I pull forward. Look at the car across from me and think "Hey buddy, you were here first, but if you aren't going to go...then I will"
And because I was distracted by this little thing called money...which in the big scheme of things is so not important. I went ahead and went. What I didn't see was the guy coming from my left. Being distracted I had forgotten that it wasn't a 4-way stop. Only a 2 way stop. And the guy across from me was waiting for the car to pass before going.
I am lucky! The other driver was paying attention! I'm lucky that they weren't on their phone or worried about money. I would be worried about a lot more today if they had been distracted like me! They honked, slowed down, I sped up! And I was so mad at myself! I wanted to pull over and cry! I wanted to follow the other person and say "I'm sorry" and "thank you for not being distracted"! But I didn't! I drove home angry with myself (yet paying attention) and saying things like...it's not that important! Money is not that important! Just be a little more conservative...or don't go out to eat so much!
So, this holiday season...relax! Enjoy the time you have with your family and friends! Don't let the little things get you down! This is the time for hope, love, and excitement over the future! Pay attention when you need too! Don't be stupid! And spread love everywhere you go! You never know what the other person has been through!
Thank you to the other person who was driving and to my guardian angel who was there protecting me!

4 months
Holy Cow! It's 4 months until the wedding! I can't believe how fast things are moving! I also can't believe how calm I feel! I know that over the past few weeks/months there have been a few stressful moments! But over all things are coming together nicely!
1. Invitations- they are in being shipped to me as we speak! They will arrive and be sent out at the three month mark!
2. Centerpieces- I have to spray paint some vases, but this Winter Break we will put those together and then those will be done until the wedding day!
3. Bridesmaids dresses are chosen!
4. The flowers are in the process of being designed and put together!
Winter break things to do:
Put Centerpieces together
Put Invitations together
Make Flowers for Bouquets
Put Flower Bouquets together
Make contact for alterations...and maybe even have a dress fitting!
There are probably more things to think about...but that is not possible at the moment! Okay bye!

The last 2 weeks into centerpieces
Wow, it has been a few crazy weeks since I have posted anything! Yikes! Let me see here:
November 6th- Diagnosed with walking pneumonia
November 7th- stayed home from school and slept literally all day! I mean like 20 hours!
November 8th- Jamberry Event 7-3pm and Jamberry party at 6pm
November 9th- Stayed home and slept
November 10th- stayed home and slept
November 11th- Tech week for Gardner
November 12th- Opening night for Gardner
November 13th- Show night for Garnder
November 14th- Date night
November 15th- Show night for Gardner
November 16th- Show day for Gardner
All of that was done on top of working my normal 40 hours!
I'm telling you all of this because I was grounded 2 weeks ago! Who grounded me? My mom and fiance! Okay, and I will put myself in there as well! It was the first time since August that I did not have anything planned in the evening! So, I was then told/and I agreed that I would not do anything but go to work and then come home and rest. No cleaning, no working out, no doing anything except resting and going to be super early!
So, I did that for a week and it was pretty fun actually! Overall, I feel much better, but am still super tired still! So, I'm trying to go to bed as early as I can and not do too much when I go home! A crazy time in my life is about to start and I don't want to get sick again!
Then it was the week of Thanksgiving! I love this time of year! I went down to visit with Curt's parents! We went out and looked for wedding rings and Christmas gifts! Then I had Thanksgiving with my family and once again went out shopping! I bought- a fitbit, a camera, a dress form, and some fabric!
Here is the big news: We bought everything we will need for the centerpieces at the reception!!!
So, I took my glittered tree over to my folks house. I wanted a second opinion on them. I just wasn't feeling it. And my family agreed with me. So, I went looking for some stuff Friday night. I bought some glittered stuff from JoAnn's, took it home, and it was a huge hit! Saturday morning my parents met me at JoAnn's around 7:45am! We went into the isle of Christmas glitter decorations and went to town! We figured out what we wanted for the lantern vase- now we need 13 of each orange, purple, and silver! Done! Now let's move on to the brass centerpiece. I went to get some fabric cut and when I was back my folks had figured out what each centerpiece will look like! Now we need 13 of these silver and 13 of these silver...13 orange and 13 purple!- We were short a few silver and 2 twirly orange things! Then it was onto the tall centerpieces! We need 8 purple, 5 Orange, and 8 silver! There is no more orange at this store. On to silver- there were 8! Yahoo, we wiped them out of silver! Now it's onto Purple...they have 7? Are you kidding me? We are short one purple? Then I go down onto my hands and knees and found 2 more purple things under the set up! Yahoo! We now have 10 purple...and yes, I took all 10!
Later that afternoon, we went to another JoAnn's and found most of the stuff we needed! We are still missing 2 twirlies...but we are pretty sure we can figure out something else! We also started looking for the tall vases! We found 5 at one store and then 3 at another store! Everything was brought down to my folks basement and a table was set up! Once Megan is here (21 short days) we will start putting them together! We also went to IKEA and bought 35 picture frames that will be used for table numbers!
My Goals for Winter Break
1. Put 35 centerpieces together
2. Put Invitations together
3. Put table numbers together
4. Put Bridal bouquets together
Can you imagine getting all of that done? I would feel so ahead of the game if all of that get done! I am hopeful and just excited to get the opportunity to hang out with my mom, sisters, and anyone else who will be joining us for the centerpiece celebration!
Okay, I'm out for now! Have a great rest of your day!
November 6th- Diagnosed with walking pneumonia

2. Put Invitations together
3. Put table numbers together
4. Put Bridal bouquets together
Can you imagine getting all of that done? I would feel so ahead of the game if all of that get done! I am hopeful and just excited to get the opportunity to hang out with my mom, sisters, and anyone else who will be joining us for the centerpiece celebration!
Okay, I'm out for now! Have a great rest of your day!
