Fun evening....
I stopped by Katie's on the way home from work. I got to play and visit with the twins (7 months), and I video-taped momma feeding them. Hank was hilarious with his avacado - he was almost completely green. Lil was so sleepy she wasn't super interested in food at the time.
Then I swung by my Dad's to pick up some pictures for our wedding slide show. We chatted and looked through very old photos. It was really fun. I talked to him a bit about the decorations for the reception, and we confirmed that he'll come to our caterer's Open House on Wednesday night to try the food.
I gave in to my pre-period food cravings as soon as Brian said "Wendy's". UGH!
But, I got a grilled chicken sandwich (not breaded), scraped off the mayo, and only opted for a medium french fry - not the GIGANTOR size.
Wish Bowl Cards
I got a call from Crane & Co. yesterday afternoon telling me our notecards were ready for pick up. I loved Button's idea of the wish bowl so much I decided to go for it. The table for the wish bowl will not only add an activity for the reception, it will create another decoration.
Anyway, the cards turned out SO CUTE! I couldn't wait to show Brian...and he liked them too.
While I was at Pacific Place picking up the cards, I stopped in to Something Silver. I had yet to find the wedding day necklace, and I check everytime I head to Pacific Place because I have this awesome gift card.

I FOUND THE NECKLACE!!!! It's exactly like the one I posted a while back from Nordstrom only this was $45 (not $125)! I had to swap out the chain on this because everyone sells everything on a 16 inch chain, and me being a "fluffy girl" my neck is just not that tiny. So I got a 20 inch chain and the large teardrop shaped stone hits perfectly at the top of my cleavage! YAY!
Dreams/Nightmares
The wedding dreams (or nightmares, if that's the way you want to look at them) are in full force. I have been dreaming almost Every. Single. Night. about the wedding. I don't always remember what the dream was about or the specifics of it, but I wake up in a panic knowing I was dreaming about the wedding.
Last night was a doozy. We were where we are now, 3.5 months from the big day. But I went to bed one night and woke up on the wedding day. Nothing had been completed or finalized. There were no decorations, no bridal party gifts, now food, no lights, no candles, etc. and no one seemed to be upset about it but me. I didn't want to get married without being prepared. And I remember not only feeling physically unprepared but distinctly mentally unprepared. I felt awful and I woke up feeling major panic.
YUK!

I sent an email to Brian's mom on Monday about going through Brian's pictures on Sunday, the caterer's open house on Wednesday, the need for the guest list and my mom's travel schedule. I have heard nothing from her.
