Bridal Shower and Lingerie!

This past Sunday was my Bridal shower, thrown by my wonderful "Mom", Maid of Honor, and my bridesmaids.

It was perfect. 

The food was amazing, the decor was perfect, there was a good mix of family (from both sides) and friends. 

Ty was wonderful, he wore his "Yes, Dear" shirt, helped keep tabs on Whimzy and helped with games.

I got some wonderful presents (Thank You notes are going out by Monday!), and got to spend some time with people I do not normally see as well as spend some time with my close friends.

It was perfect.

Thank you so much to the ladies who set this up for me <3

 

Also, tonight, I am going lingerie shopping with "Mom" and Angie.

I am so excited.  I love buying new bras!

Plus, possibly a corset-type thing.  I am not sure if I want to buy one for the honeymoon.  They are a pain to get on without help, and that would ruin the whole idea.

 

Eh, we shall see.

 

 

 

Well, I have enough to do to keep me busy for the next 3 months, so I will try to keep everybody updated!

So far we have about 55 people who have RSVP'd.

 

Please send yours in ASAP if you haven't already!

A First

After a rough couple of very overwhelming days and anxious nights, I am feeling perky again today.

You know why?

I laid in bed last night, thinking.

And I fgured something out.

This is the first time in my entire life that there has not been any family conflict in my life. 

Seriously.

We are on good terms with everybody!

It is awesome. 

No worrying about what might happen at the wedding, or

having to stress out about people playing nice.

It just blows me away that my life has taken such a dramatic turn around in the last few years.

I am so happy that I am getting closer to my family, including my Dad.

I am so happy that I get to build a relationship with my in-laws and that I am entering such a huge family.

I am lucky to have such an amazing set of psuedo parents that are helping me with the wedding, Whimzy, and life in general. 

I am even going to be re-meeting my step-family in the next month or so.

A few years ago I would have never been able to guess that I would be so surrounded with family that I enjoy being around.

I am so glad that I was wrong.

 

And on an unrelated note, Ty just stabbed a My Little Pony balloon to death.

It was terrifying.

;)

I Hate Sundays

I hate Sundays.

After a whole weekend of being able to snuggle up to Ty, pass some Whimzy duties off to him, tell him stupid jokes, kiss him whenever I want, and make him find things for me,

he has to return to work on Sundays.

We spent most of this past weekend in our pj's, on the couch, all cuddled up and playing with Whimzy.  When we did have to put real clothes on, it was to grocery shop or spend a couple hours out to eat with good friends and family.

It was, essentially, a perfect weekend.  I would have not changed a single thing.

Then, this morning we cleaned and really made up for the fact that we really did not do anything productive all weekend.

Then, he had to leave.

And that ^ is the face and reaction that Whimzy has every, single time Ty gets ready to go to work.

I feel the same way, but I have to be all grown-up and kiss him good-bye and then wish him a good night at work.

 

So, yeah, I hate Sundays. 

I hate the drop back into reality, and I hate missing Ty.

54 Days

As my wonderful Aunt pointed out to me today,

I have 54 days until my wedding.

54 days.

54 days until I become Mrs. Ty Christensen.

Exciting...

But also extrememly overwhelming.

I feel like there is still so much to do,

so much to think about,
so much to finish.

 

In 55 days, over a year of planning will be done.

I will have time to relax and I will be getting a 90-minute massage in front of a fireplace.

 

I just have to keep reminding myself that this is completely worth it.

This is my wedding. 

It symbolizes the relationship between Ty and I.

It symbolizes our love, and our lives together.

It is going to be perfect.

 

 

Deep breaths.

Take a step back.

Put things in perspective.

<3
