Dresses are ready!

Just called New Natalie's and the bridesmaid dresses will arrive this Friday (see pic above). I can't wait to pick them up and see how they look on the girls. My dress will be ready in two to three weeks, and my mom and I are going shopping for her dress tomorrow night. I'm going to try to get a few wedding related errands done this weekend. This month will get busy towards the end of the month as bridal shower and wedding invites will be going out. Wedding invitations will be in the mail in about three weeks---CRAZY!!! I'm still getting the question: Are you excited? Yes, I'm still incredibly excited about marrying Warren. We make a great team.

100 Days To Go!

I told Warren I would write a blog when we were at the 100 day countdown. Well, here it is. 100 days to go before I'm Mrs. Thomas. There are days when I feel like we still have lots to do before the wedding, and other days I feel like it is still far enough away that I don't have to worry about getting everything done any time soon. The bridal shower date is set for Nov. 15th at my maid of honor's house and the bridesmaid luncheon is going to be in the KatyDid room at the Swan House (see pic). Bachelor/Bachelorette party plans are still in the works as are the plans for the rehearsal dinner. Everything is coming along nicely :) In other news....the vet found a cancer spot on my dog Tally. My parents adopted Tally when I moved in with Warren, and my mom has grown especially attached to her. Tally will have surgery next week to have the tumors removed. Please send out your prayers.

P-M-C/S

Warren and I started our PMC on Saturday (pre-marital counseling). Probably not the best week to start it as I was in high PMS mode and sensitive to everything. I flat out told the therapist "I'm a cryer and it's that time of the month". So, when he asked Warren to describe why he fell in love with me, I was thankful there were tissues within arm reach. Our initial visit was us telling the therapist our story, how we met, how Warren proposed, our challenges as a couple, etc. As this is an out of pocket expense on a super tight budget, I'm hoping we get a lot out of it. If any of you want to know how I have been feeling for the last week, watch this and hold onto your hats.... http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/annuale/221774/

Rock Band

This weekend Warren and I picked up our wedding bands. Mine has 9 beautiful diamonds across..... Check it out! I danced out of Solomon Brothers with a stupid grin on my face hugging, kissing, and thanking Warren. We keep chipping away at all the planning. We met last week with Morgan to go over the flow of the ceremony. This week we are meeting with Katie to pick out our invitations. Piece by piece, it is all coming together. Still over 100 days to go. I'm really enjoying this time of being engaged. Life with Warren has really been clicking well lately. This weekend was one of my favorite weekends in a long time. We went out Friday night with a group of friends and then watched football most of the day Saturday together and then I spent most of yesterday at a tennis match. Monday mornings always come too quickly!

Birthday Girl!

I had a fabulous birthday yesterday despite the horrible cold I've had. It started in the wee hours of the morning when I heard Warren whisper happy birthday to me since he came to bed after midnight. I briefly woke up then went back to sleep. When I got to work, my coworkers came into my office to sing happy birthday to me and I had a birthday sign posted to my door. I met up with Warren, Morgan (who will be marrying us) and her hubby, Robert for lunch at Golden Buddha--one of my favorite lunch spots. Then I headed home to relax the rest of the afternoon. My night ended with a wonderful date night to Fritti for dinner and then Yoforia for dessert. If you haven't been to Yoforia, you need to go. It's yummy frozen yogurt with many toppings to pick from. When we got home, I still had a present to open :) My future hubby likes to take care of me, and I really appreciate all that he does. Tonight we are meeting up with a group of friends to continue celebrating. So happy where this past year has taken me.

Just call me sneezy

The weekend was a lot of fun at the GA game, but somehow I caught a cold. Despite my attempts of fighting through it with a dose of Airborne last night, I have sneezed more times than I can count today. I may just need to stop by the store and get some NyQuil. I'm a huge fan of doping myself up in order to make it through a night of sleep when I have a stuffed up nose. Maybe I'll try to go to bed early if I can pull myself away from the Wii. Last night my mission was to make it to pro status on the tennis game before going to bed. I did it! My arm hurts from playing many hours last night, and I have real tennis practice tonight. I better rest my arm before my match this weekend. I hope to feel better by Thursday...my birthday!!!

Two months down, a lifetime to go

Last night it just hit me that Warren and I have officially been living together for a little over two months (though I started nesting much earlier). I'm all settled in and pretty much unpacked (all but one box that remains on top of the book case in the dining room--no clue what's in there). And my curling iron mysteriously disappeared sometime during the move. This is it, my home for the next 3-5 years. I love the location and how close I am to work. And on a good day I can make it to my parent's house in 10-15 minutes. Tomorrow we are getting up early and headed to Athens for the UGA vs. GA Southern game. This time last year Adam was prepping me for what was about to happen. I was about to meet the crazy UGA fan, WarrenT. A year later I'm going to the games as the crazy UGA Warren's fiance, and next year I'll go as Mrs. crazy UGA Warren. I'm ready for many more years of the crazy UGA fans, and maybe many years down the road we'll be watching one of our own become a UGA grad. How fun!
