4 days... what?!

OMGosh! We're getting thisclose to the big day. My head has been a jumbled mess, mostly with everything going on and trying to get my head wrapped around the fact that everything is organized, we have a schedule of events, and if anything goes awry, it won't be a big deal. Andy and the boys are out on the town for his bachelor party, and I'm here at home watching Sex and the City while crafting. I'm feeling quite relaxed this evening, and am looking forward to hitting the sack early.

The wedding gifts have also been arriving via snail mail. Gifts = mini surprises = awesome! We're pretty giddy when we open the front door to find a random box of love from a family member or friend. I'd say it's as exciting as receiving RSVPs in the mailbox! YEAH!

I'm tired... excuse me if I start to ramble. All that's left for me to finish are the programs. Wow. I didn't think things would be so sane the week of. I'm really excited to start seeing everybody. Kyle (the BEST man) flew in last night, and we promptly took him out for beers. Cassie and Hannah arrived this evening, April & Sarah will arrive tomorrow, and Amy & Jason will arrive on Thursday. We've got a lot to do between now and Saturday (cooking/decorating/par-tay-ing), but I'll try to schedule a post or two if I don't get to sit down to blog.

Well, to answer a question I've received a couple of times in the last few days - What should I wear? DANCING SHOES! Also, something cool, comfortable, and casual. It's a summer wedding in the park, but don't fret if you're not too fancy. We'll be fancy, but that's just because we're awesome. :P But seriously folks, get ready to dance, dance, dance! You know we will be!

Okay, this bride-to-be needs to hit the sack. One of the most awesome hints I've read in this whole planning process is to get plenty of rest!

21 days!

We're only 3 weeks out from the big day. OMG! Andy is sick with a stomach bug (most likely the same thing I had last weekend), so we've been chilling indoors all day watching No Reservations, Pineapple Express (not good), Good Eats, and the Mariners/Rangers game (we won!). I've been trying my best to keep him properly hydrated and fed, even if he's not feeling up to it. I've just recently put him to bed, even though he'd fallen asleep an hour before. Other than that, my Grandma Peterson recently passed away on 7/18/09, and we had a wonderful memorial service for her this last week. It was great to visit with family in town; especially those who won't be in attendance for the wedding. My grandparents' old pastor even flew in from Idaho to meet with the family and officiate the service. What a treat! My Grandmother was such an amazing woman! It'll be hard to not have her with us physically at the wedding, but I know she will be their in spirit.

Working backwards yet again, my bridal shower was last Saturday, which was fantastic! Everyone in attendance had a wonderful time, and it was again, a great place to connect and reconnect with those I don't get to see as often as I'd like. My Aunt Sue hosted the luncheon, planned a few great games, and made some wonderful food! We scored some awesome gifts and a little cash for the honeymoon as well. Here are a few photos for your viewing pleasure!
