I had some issues with the favors (CDs) and programs.
First of all, we decided to do CDs with songs for our favors. We had 100 blank CDs, and figured this would be the perfect use for them. Although I wanted this done months ago, RoyBoy only decided what song to dance to with his mother, so we got started on the project last week. I gave half to RoyBoy and started on my half. His computer is faster than mine, so he was done sooner. However, he didn't burn any songs, just an image that did nothing. Thus, we had fifty useless CDs. After getting over my annoyance, I got more and burned the rest. The project was done this Monday.
To make the labels, I had been given a CD stomper -for free!- which included labels, a label-sticker, and software. Sounds great, but the software was too old to use. Luckily, daddy found a template. I made a really cute design, and printed them. Lil Fuss (RoyBoy's sister) then put the labels on and we stuffed them into CD envelops.
The programs were their own issue. I had to get two black ink cartridges, then the color cartridge was threatening to quit! I printed 125 papers, to realize that I needed 10 more pieces, so I went to Staples. Luckily I realized that I was an idiot; I did NOT need more paper, because each sheet had two programs on it. I only needed to print 70 copies, not 130! So I went home and finished the program printing.
Crazy. BUT, the programs and CDs look great!

Feelin' Good
Less than three weeks to the wedding! Ah! I wish I still belonged to a gym; the routines I have are getting old... I need to mix it up. I've ridden my bike to work a few times, which is good, but RoyBoy and I will go by car if we have similar hours. Plus, it's wicked hot down here, and riding a bike at high noon can be hard. Not to mention the humidity! Phew!
I've cut out a few things from my diet this month. For starters, less carbs (not including breakfast and fruit) and sugar. (It's SO hard not eating chocolate and ice cream!) I also am staying away from teas and coffee (teeth stainers). It's been tough, but right now I'm eating a lettuce wrap with tuna, and it's simple and yummy. Plus, lots of fruit. Last night I had a burger, minus the bun. THAT was interesting. I never realized just how much the bun adds!
I need to start doing more cardio, but running outside is horrible and I don't have a treadmill or gym right now. Yeah, excuses, excuses. Still, I am confident that my dress will still fit. :)

Just keep Truckin'
RoyBoy and I will be moving down to FL after the wedding. We will be stopping at my aunt's house to pick up two bed/bureau combos that are from my late Nanna. Then we will travel to his hometown for another bureau and end table as well as wedding gifts. My parents are generously paying for this move, and I just reserved a 16' truck today!
RoyBoy and I have also decided to rent particular house nearby, and tomorrow we begin the paper work! It's all so exciting. I feel rather grown up, really.
Now to just get married...

Checking In
I'm getting married in less than three weeks. Oh my goodness how time flies. Luckily, things are going well. I contacted everyone, and we will be around 130 guests. I had called the vendors and paid them, but now I will need to update a few. That's fine. I think I'll give it a few more days, to see if a couple of other people are coming.
I am now going to print the programs. Here I go!!!
Yeah, lame update. I haven't really been doing that much, besides going, "OMG I'M GETTING MARRIED IN XX DAYS!!!" haha
