my to do list

ok...so as i read everyones posts and see how far along you all are with your planning the panic sets in...i feel like i am so far behind where i should be!!! so i made myself a to do list (i looked over the 06'ers to do lists posts for ideas). i am trying to get a lot done this summer and next june because i start my senior year of college this fall and i don't think i can handle too much planning during the school year. also, i left out honeymoon stuff because my fh can't take off in the summer, so we can postpone that expense.

let me know if i forgot anything or if i should move some stuff around!
thanks girls!'~lacey

we got engaged 4/03, registered in 8/03 since we know we were going to have an engagement party. it varies when showers will happen. it could happen 1 month before or 3 months before your wedding
