T-minus 3 MONTHS!

Whoa y'all.. I'm not quite sure where the time has gone!! Last month we celebrated a year since fiance popped the question in Chicago and I can't believe that was OVER a year ago now..

Engagement, Chicago, July 6, 2011

We are really starting to get into crunch time but I feel pretty good. It was my goal from the beginning to get as much done as early as possible and I have done that for the most part. We still have the details we're ironing through but progress has been made in a month!

What's been done since last month:

Invitation proofs are IN and ordering this weekend! sigh.. I DID decide!
Invites will be pre-addressed! WOO!

I got a different pair of wedding shoes - post coming soon

I also purchased my wedding jewelry - officially!

To Do:

It's really all coming together and I'm so excited!! It's really crazy to think how soon it is. I was thinking yesterday how I'm ready for the details to be over but I think I'm going to miss being a "bride". But there's nothing more I look forward to than being husband and wife with the best man in the world. (Really, he is!)
