Almost there...

Wow. Four days away from being married. Agghhh! I don't really even have words to describe my feelings. Excited, anxious... hhhuuuuugggghhhhh. I've been filling my afternoons after work with random wedding details.

Sunday: Went on a major shopping spree and bought every last thing we needed for the wedding. Pedestals for ceremony, bubbles, mints (both of which Brooke is hard at work tying fall-colored bows around as I type), baskets. Even though we were out for around eight hours, everything was fairly easy to find. After all the wedding event things, it was tie to find personal stuff. I still needed a shirt for the rehearsal, a dress to leave in and wedding shoes. I was freakin' worried I would leave the mall crying because I hadn't found anything to wear. But Jesus decided to show that he loved me through an easy shopping day. Fourth dress on, bought it. first shirt at the third store (and only a few at the others), bought it. And I found shoes, finally! I found a pair I liked, but they were the same silver of the ones I had. I was disappointed, but moved on. As I was walking around thinking, "Ohhhhh, nooooooo, they don't have anything," and I saw a flash of ivory out of the corner of my eye. I zoom in and see a really cute pair of ivory shoes in a beat-up box on the clearance rack. "Oh please oh please oh please, wouldn't it be awesome if they were 10s..." I thought. And as I picked up the box, I saw the magic number. 10s!!!!! And they fit perfectly!!!! YAY! It was only the second pair of shoes I tried on all night!!!! Apparently great shoes deserve lots of exclamation marks!!!!! But anyway, they're actually the same shoes Brooke got, just a different color without sparkles. And after the shopping trip, I bought a few more last-minute items online. So I'm officially done with shopping for awhile. Still have to run a few errands that involve buying things (bridesmaid/parent gifts, etc.), but those don't count.

Monday: Tanning for the last time. Yeah, I got pinker this time than last. Not good. And the little things you put over your eyes for protection? Ummm, one slipped and I didn't realize it. I now have one raccoon eye. Who knows, maybe that could be attractive in pictures. And my legs still didn't get tan.

Tuesday: Legs waxed. Sort of. Apparently the hair wasn't long enough. Word to the wise. Beauty is not worth the pain. 'Nuff said.

So in the last few days until W-Day, I still have to design/print programs, run lots of errands, blah, blah, blah. Just think. In a few days, you might have something else to read about besides wedding crap. Don't worry, I have another post coming soon.
