Well lets see.. We just booked the RD. We ordered the tuxes. We are going to start putting the favors together. I am going to meet with the florist the first week of September to go over the flowers. I just got a letter from my DJ giving me a form to fill out. I have to call him though, because it's just a basic are you going to do this and that etc. Hmm Oh yea and we just got an apartment we are going to be moving into October 1st!!! Unreal!

I don't know anymore. I feel overwhelm when I think about the things that I still have to do. I feel that there are so many things that needs to be done and I feel like I'm still forgetting something.
