And I have a lot to do. I have started all these DIY projects, but I have not finished a one of them! So that is my plan this weekend....to finish at least 1 thing on my list of to-do's.<br /><br />Here is my to-do list (Just for now, it will get longer):<br />- Find vases for centerpieces<br />- Glue lace around candles for tables(DIY)<br />- Programs (Im making them)<br />- Find and old mailbox<br />- Finish Guest Book cards (making them)<br />- Favor bags (Yup making those too)<br />- Start addressing wedding invitations<br />- Figure out songs for the ceremony, first dance, father-daughter, mother-son, and songs for the reception<br />- Call the church and book Pastor<br />- Bridesmaids details such as jewelry, hair and makeup<br />- Registries<br /><br />Who knew that registering would be so hard. I think that has been the hardest thing so far. I thought it would be really fun, but it is actually quite stressful and I do not enjoy doing it.<br /><br />So hopefully I can knock a few of these out this weekend! Wish me luck!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2457264935770949264-6116555202237189329?l=hollieblogger.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hollie Hayeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03041569383285638455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457264935770949264.post-66466741902410806682011-05-04T11:54:00.000-07:002011-05-04T12:34:33.308-07:00I have decided to start a blog....again. Hopefully things will go better this time than the last and I will keep up with this one. I watched Julia &amp; Julia this weekend and it got me pumped up about blogging. I want to keep everyone up to date on all the wedding details, as well as other things.<br /><br />We are halfway there. To the wedding day that is, and I could not be more excited! I feel like yesterday me and Matt got engaged, and I was looking 10 months down the road to September. It seemed so far away. But not anymore. We have just a little over 4 months to go. And it is time to kick wedding planning in high gear!<br /><br />I must say we have gotten a lot done, but I feel like there is so much more to do! I have not had a wedding-planning breakdown yet, and hopefully I wont have one. I did however get a bit stressed yesterday with the wedding invitations. They were shipped last week, so everyday I would track the package and see where it was at. The estimated delivery time was May 3, so all day yesterday I was waiting for them. Our usual FedEx guy came by after lunch, I rushed to the door but to my amazement there was no box for me. So I ran back to the computer and checked the status one more time. It said it was on a FedEx truck here in Houston and was supposed to be dropped off. As time got closer to leave work, I started to stress. Actually I was being selfish and wanted the invitations right away!<br /><br />When it was time to leave for work, I got in my car disappointed and frustrated with FedEx. As I pulled out of the driveway...guess what...here comes the FedEx truck. I rolled down my window and waved him down like a crazy woman. "Do you have a package for Hollie?" I asked, and he said yes and that he was trying to hurry to get here because he knew we closed early. I pulled back into the parking lot and all of my co-workers were staring at me. I was jumping around and smiling. I was very excited! I could not wait to see what they looked like.<br /><br />When I opened the box, I started crying. They were beautiful! Simple but beautiful.<br /><br />Reading it made me cry even more.<br /><br />Mr. and Mrs.....<br />request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Hollie to Matt.<br /><br />Wow, I am really getting married! I am getting to spend the rest of my life with the man I love!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2457264935770949264-6646674190241080668?l=hollieblogger.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hollie Hayeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03041569383285638455noreply@blogger.com0
