Less than one month

Oh boy.

Two days ago Drew and I passed one month until we get married. I have no idea where the time went!

Additionally I get married 4 weeks from today.

I hope that the weather is nice, it's playing this cat and mouse game with me right now. It's FREEZING in the mornings but then absolutely lovely and HOT in the afternoons.

Seriously, I got a sunburn today. I haven't burned since Galilee...in JULY. I guess it's the thin atmosphere and the more direct sunlight. Boo.

So we've finally gotten to the point where we're getting the final last minute details done of our wedding. It's nice to know that the major stuff has been taken care of finally.

However, my big dilemma at the moment is what shoes am I going to get?

Backtrack, I'm normally not the type of girl who obsesses over shoes. I like them, but I'm super-picky about getting them and once I buy them, I wear them forever. So... the wedding day should warrant some previously researched and nice shoes right?

Well, over the summer I found this little gem and fell in love:

However, once I got back from Israel I was dismayed to find that they are being discontinued and therefore they only had weird sizes...i.e. they don't have mine.

:(

So then I was on the search for more yellow shoes. It is SUPER hard to find good yellow shoes. Especially since as much as I love the pastel yellow above, I prefer mustard. The bright yellow is too yellow for me. So I'm searching and searching and searching and I find this:

Oh my, they're PERFECT! They have the cute chunky heel that I love, they're a beautiful mustard leather, they have a cute little checkered design and a bow. AND they're closed toe which is useful for an October wedding.

Then I checked the price. $99.98.

Eep. I have NEVER paid that much for a pair of shoes before. I'm agonizing over it. I know I should go with something cheaper, but I LOVE them. And I know that I would wear these until there were holes in them. Even then I'd probably just get them resoled.

I've been trying to find them cheaper but apparently they're SUPER popular right now. They sold out of anthropologie within the first 48 hours.

So I'm debating whether or not to wait (I don't have much time) or just resign myself to another pair of shoes.

*sigh* We'll see!

In other news, Drew and I are FINALLY going to a football game on saturday. Huzzah! We've never been to a BYU game. We should probably remedy that...

Thank goodness it's the weekend.

Wedding things

So Saturday was spent in pursuit of trying to get all things wedding organized.

...

Why can't I just elope? It's such a HUGE stress figuring out the cake, flowers, invitations, photography, the location and everyone making sure that everything is on time.

*sigh* I know that it'll be worth it. And I'm super excited to marry Drew.

Speaking of wedding things, here is our photo for our invitations!

It came out really well. :)

But yeah... I'm stressed. 32 Days! That's it! Holy cow!

Then we'll get married here:

I'm doing a small cake and cupcakes. The cake is kinda a topsy turvy cake with a Dr. Seuss theme. :)))

The cupcakes will look like this:

My flowers are:

Daisy Mums

Blue Dendrobian Orchids and...

Sunflowers!!! :) (of course for anyone who knows me...)

So yeah... there are some things from my wedding coming up. Woo!!

In other news, insomnia = bad before a school day.

Oh well, onwards!!!

Our Apartment!!!

So... Drew has finally moved into our apartment!

I'm so excited! We finished cleaning up the living room and the kitchen and so here are some pictures. We're getting the bed this weekend! :)))

Only 42 more days until we get married!
