Crunch Time.. almost

With almost 6 months left to plan and only one more visit home before the big day, I'm feeling a little anxious. To some, 6 months might seem like a long time, but since I work at an accounting firm, I will be out of commission from Feb 1- April 15th. This means I better get most of the planning done before Feb 1. I'll be leaving for California next Thursday and I need to make a few appointments before I get there. I would like to set up an appt with a makeup artist, the bakery, the officiant and purchase all my vases for the centerpieces. Other things I need to accomplish include: finishing my save the dates (I have about 40 left to do), get Mr. Groom's finger sized to order his ring, and to get a hold of my florist to finalize the flowers.

Besides stressing myself out worrying if ill get everything done, I'm so excited because the reason I'm going home is to attend the wedding of my dear friend Kim. I also will be celebrating my bridal shower that my wonderful mother is putting on for me. It will be a great week and lots of fun events, but I do wish Mr. Groom could come :( This will be the first Thanksgiving we will be spending apart. I've already planned a thanksgiving meal for just the two of us the wednesday before I leave home. We'll be able to have our own little mini turkey day.
