Thanks!!! 2 days and 15 hours to go
WOW!!! How do you feel?!?
I was not stressing out until just about an hour ago. My Future in laws are creating a bit of stress for me, but I will be OK. I am just on the 'go, go, go' mode. I think FH is starting to feel it now as well.
lol... poor FH.. that's when the stress hit my DH as well .. the week of the wedding while I had it for 1 year
