A good quarter of a year...

Wow, time is FLYING!

Wedding planning has significantly slowed and I am immensely glad for that. I had set my goal for April, and I met it! At least for the biggest stuff. Now it's down to the "fun" little things...

Officiant: booked!
Turning an artist into a day-of coordinator who happens to be married to said officiant and who also is an awesome artist: YAS QUEEN!
Commissioned artwork from said coordinator extraordinaire: yup!
Clean-up crew foreman picked: Yes and she's the best.
Family Engagement Party planning: done and done, my Aunt Cheryl is amazing and I love that we are having it at her house to have the spirit of Kelly with all of us too!
Save the dates: addressed and sent! (Sorry if you read this and didn't get one, my family is very, very large and they make lots of babies who have lots of babies)
Wedding invitation design: nailed down and sticking with the travel theme. Ditched the travel theme and landed among the stars...
Table name decor: started! No judgment on skill...I'm no artist though I love to pretend to be.
Seating cards: um....eventually?
First trip as an engaged couple: CHICAGO (post to eventually come)!

The table decor and ideas are slowly coming together and I am enjoying all of it. I've put my mom on a mission to find four leaf clovers which is the only clue I'll give to some of the table favors that may be present. It has been fun to reflect on our trips and travels to share with our tables and to pick who will be in what city/location. With each city (or place!) we plan to have some fun little things planned so choosing must be done wisely!

In this coming month, the final preparations for the engagement party will go down (gotta keep my dad pumped about making the cake because even though he psychs himself out he always does a great job and ends up loving it!) and I'll continue my quest to quit donuts. Successful so far but the temptation is there nearly every day. Doesn't help I can see a Shipley's out my office window...
