5..4..3..2..1...

It's almost here. I can't believe that in the next few days we will be welcoming my family and friends to our celebration! What joy this weekend is blessed with! I'm spending with week with Mom to prepare. So far she's made sure I'm well rested, well fed, relaxed and PAMPERED. She took my to the salon to get our nails done together and they look goooooood! And we bought some good smelling stuff at Bath and Bodyworks so our house smells like tropical flowers! Yum! The Wedding Party House is ready for all those Bridesmaids- stocked with good food, good smells and everything PINK :) Last night we went to the Choclate Cafe in Old Town for a Mothers Day party! It was delicious and special because she gave me advice on how to be a good wife, which she is really good at. As I tie up some of the final details of the wedding, like the Ceremony programs that didn't come yet, the RSVPs that didn't work on our website, and what swimsuits to wear on our cruise, I am full of anticipation about the coming days. So much love is surrounding me and Josh. We are a blessed couple!

Eleven days left and the Bride 2 Be is without a care in the world :) 


The rings are ready, the cake is ordered, the guests are counted. Everything is ready and now all I have to do is shave my legs and curl my hair! Today my loving parents treated me to a highlight at our salon in Old Town. I had to call in sick to work to get to it, but that was just part of the fun! It looks pretty good.

Today the Mother of the Bride and I put on our dresses, figured out how to wear our hair and enjoyed how pretty we we're going to look on May 13th:) In case you didn't know, Mother of the Bride is a big deal too, so she also needs to look GOOD. And mine does! We're going to have a little more fun next week getting manicures and putting finishing touches on the party planning. 


I'm sooooooooo excited to see all my friends and family. My Dad, my bridesmaids, my Aunt Pam and Uncle Dale are all so loving and generous, half of them are flying across the country to be here. What a gift to have everyone around! Thank you everybody.

I never thought I'd be ready to get married. I thought I'd be kind of freaking out or at least incredibly anxious but it's just solid and real. I'm not quite ready to call myself a wife yet (it sounds so old!) but I haven't really had cold feet- because Josh Taves is CRAZY AWESOME! He's so interesting that I'm going to spend most of my time listening to what's in his head and in his heart. I'm excited to relax with him and listen to him. In the mean time, I'm really excited for the party. 


11 days to go :)
