Changes

I made a few changes to my link list this morning. I added some blogs I find interesting to my sidebar :)

Things are going really well for me, things have been a little stressful with the end of the semester, and the whole arm thing. But God is doing amazing things in my life, and in my heart. So I'm handling it much better!

Next week its back to wedding planning, as well as making the invitations, and getting our guest list together! I can't wait to start REALLY planning this stuff over the summer. :-D

Things I need to do for my wedding:
~ Find a photographer. This has been REALLY hard for me, since I have three friends who are professional level photographers, and one who is an official wedding photographer. Its hard to pay thousands for a photographer, knowing my friends will be taking pictures too. But I don't want to make any of them work on my wedding day, they're too good of friends and sisters for that! :)
~ Decide what flowers I want. I know I want calla lilies, but I don't know what I want with them, or how I want to do this. The goal is to not spend a lot of money, but to have beautiful flowers that will make the pictures better!
~ Pick out a cake, and find a design we like. This is all Jim. The only thing he's been picky about so far is the cake, so I will let him have this. :) As long as he doesn't pick chocolate! lol
~ Work on making more invitations, We have the design down, we just need to figure out the most cost effective way to make them, since they are going to be expensive, and they will take a lot of time to make! I LOVE the design though! Thanks Amanda. Your the greatest, but you knew that :-D
~ I need a veil, shoes, and a tiara, but I'm not too worried about this. Plenty of friends have offered the use of their veil, and it could be my something borrowed! Tiara I'm planning to get from Claire's or something, I'm NOT paying $100+ for a tiara I'm going to wear once.
~ Find the girls dresses, this has been the most challenging part for me thus far. I haven't found much I like.

I'm sure there is other stuff too! But this is all I plan to worry about over the summer :-D Its nice to have it written down!
