Okay, okay, okay. I've become a terrible blogger. I guess I just got a little bored with all the posting of every minute wedding detail, plus life itself is keeping us plenty busy! But, at 4 weeks out, here's the standings:
TACA is paid in full.
The menu has been set with MCL. They just need a final head count.
I have all jewelry and makeup, and my dress is currently at the tailor's, to be picked up next Friday.
My shower and bachelorette party are on Saturday!
Devin has his suit, but it still needs to be altered (mostly just a hem).
I've started paying obsessive attention to my skin and have made several (non-expensive) purchases of items that will hopefully ensure its PERFECTION.
Guestbook has been purchased and delivered from The Guestbook Store (previously mentioned - I decided not to DIY because, well, this was just way more convenient!)
Devin's Uncle Tim will be our officiant, which is just solid awesome.
My former guitar teacher, Gary Rhum, will provide our ceremony music, and that's LIQUID awesome (which is better? You decide!).
Cake design is taken care of. Thanks, Aunt Rita!
Honeymoon is booked for Hawaii, Jan 24-Feb 1, 2012. Thanks, Amy & Travis!
...and there are quite a few more things that could go on this list, but you're probably bored by now. We definitely still have some to-dos, but they're pretty minor and will get taken care of in time.
In non-wedding news, The Chewydog has been neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped, and is happily munching on a giant rawhide bone behind me. He has become quite the goofy cuddlebug and we love him dearly. We've taught him to shake, speak, stay, and wait. He's such a quick learner on top of being adorable and happy-go-lucky that I think he'd make a wonderful therapy dog. We'll just have to wait a few more years for him to chill out a little bit...
Here's a more recent picture - we've done a lot of trimming on his face and ears!
I now volunteer at the Humane Society of Indianapolis for 2 hours a week as a Canine Companion, but I'm going to try to switch to photography soon because, hey, they need some good ones. We'll see how long I can resist bringing home a new addition...
Speaking of photography, I'm also getting involved with a new organization called the Indianapolis Photography Cooperative. The goal is to provide volunteer photography services for local non-profits as well as photography workshops. It's hard to balance everything right now, but I hope with the new year I'll be able to do some great volunteer work, get my name out there and maybe even do some teaching! Not to mention the great benefit of being a "founding member" and helping to build from the ground up - could lead to a (dare I say it?!) real career...
I'd say that's enough for now. Will I manage to post again before I'm a married woman?! We'll see :-p
