I'm HOME finally - and I get married ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!

I'm finally back from my two weeks at George Mason University in VA. I was a little scared to be away for two weeks and come back a week before the wedding- but it was the best thing I could have done. I was so immersed in school and everything that I had to do...I can't imagine how I would have been at home on summer vacation with nothing to do but obsess over the wedding! So it turned out to be the best thing for me. I highly recommend doing something non-wedding related that takes work and lots of focus to keep you from going wedding crazy.

So here we are!! at 3:30, a week from today, I'll be getting married! I can't freaking believe it!

Sooo much to do though! Favors, drop stuff off at the hall, meet with Duet and Burtons, pick up dress, final primpings!! It all starts Monday! Til then I'm in NJ enjoying time with FH since I haven't seen him in two weeks.

Good luck to this weekend's brides and MY WEEKEND WEDDING TWINS!!

Thanks everyone! It's beyond surreal that it's happening on SATURDAY! It's sooooo damn good to be home. I'm literally just hanging here with FH and it's the best thing I could do before going to LI tomorrow for the WHIRLWIND!

And thanks Helen! I'll miss seeing you at the ceremony but have the BEST TIME at Kerriann's wedding! What an experience that will be for you!!!

I just go there for two weeks in the summer- I just took my level II of Orff Schulwerk certification (Schulwerk is German for Music for Children ). I go back next year for Level III. Might go back for Level IV too, who knows.

George Mason is a great school- HORRIBLE HORRIBLE dorm situation for freshman though. Completely deplorable. We got outta there right away, as that was the housing we were offered. Hopefully they'll know better next year not to give bunk beds in a room the size of a jail cell to professionals!

Thanks everyone! It's so great to be back!

TARA!!!! Holy $hiat 4 days and 19 hours, I cannot believe how the time flew by. So are you ready?? I am totally freaked out, not stressed just a lil nauseated nervous kinda feeling, but still happy lol I pick up my dress on Friday and it's just blowing my mind that it almost here. Oh by the way FH hasn't gotten a wedding band yet Not sure what he's waiting on but I'm not going to stress over it.
