451 days to go!

We're almost there! ;-)

I think once we finally get to April this year, I'll be starting a daily countdown...maybe a paper chain or something for each week.  I'm just so excited.  I can't believe how much I've more or less decided on/achieved so far.

Chris and I are going to check out a cocktail reception at the potential reception site on Feb 18th to see what the space looks like with people and decorations.  Mostly it's just to appease Chris and his concerns that it may be too small.  He just can't see it like I can I guess :)  I'm ready to put the deposit down as soon as he gives me the green light.  I also put a call in to a photographer that a friend used for her wedding to set up a consult to look at portfolios and packages, so hopefully that gets taken care of soon too.  The only other big things left are flowers and working with my FSIL, Jenny, to design Save the Dates and Invites.  I'm so lucky to have a crafty soon to be sister :)  This is going so much easier than I ever could have hoped, lets hope it stays that way!

I've recently joined the SLU gym with an alumni membership package, and I have been working out like a madwoman lately.  It feels good to have a daily outlet and I've definitely been sleeping better at night.  Plus I have the best motivation in the world to stick to a regular workout routine...my dress is going to look awesome on me :) Plus I'll need my endurance up to be able to dance the night away at our reception.

I hope everyone else is getting through these bitterly cold days with as much fun as I am!


oh and p.s. I convinced Chris to buy today's local groupon for half off a horse drawn carriage ride down by the arch, so be looking forward to pictures of that experience sometime soon!
