10 things

1. I am getting married in 16 days. wow.

2. I babysat two little cuties yesterday. I thought I was such a clever babysitter, playing play-doh with them, drawing pictures, playing outside... I thought I would tire them out so when Mommy and Daddy came home they would be all nice and quiet. nope. They, in fact, tired ME out. Well played, little girls, well played.

3. I am getting married in 16 days. Seriously??? Seriously. That's insane. I haven't even finalized the wedding cake, or the flowers, or the favors, or the place cards.. whoops. It will get done. As God as my witness, with Starbucks coursing through my veins, I WILL finish all my wedding projects before the rehearsel.

4. Did you hear that? Yeah, I think God was laughing at me. Silly girl.

5. I tried on my wedding dress a couple days ago. It fits perfectly. Not too big, not too small; just right. *phew*

6. My future brother in law is in charge of the slide show, and I have a sneaking suspicion he may have dug up some pictures of me in my high school band uniform. Will the fun never stop? Oh my. Oh my my.

7. I read a few chapters of The Fantastic Mr. Fox (by Roald Dahl) to my sweetheart over the phone last night. He fell asleep like a baby, so I had to press a few buttons loudly to get him to wake up to turn his phone off... but whilst he was in dream land and I was reading aloud about the Fox family, I started to mentally make a list of all the books I want my children (nonexistent, hypothetical children I will have in the future) to be exposed to... any and everything by Roald Dahl. The Jungle Book by Kipling, everything by Eric Carl (Karl?), Where the Red Fern Grows, all the Madeline books... and then I realized it was almost midnight and I don't have children, so maybe I could finish the list in the morning. oops!

8. Today is the first cloudy, rainy day I have experienced in Grand Rapids so far this month. Everything is cool, dewy, and I could just curl up and take a nap. Even though I got 9 hours of sleep last night. But still.. nap anyone?

9. I am excited to report I will be shopping for some bridesmaid's gifts today! I love buying my friends cool stuff. It brings me joy.

10. I am getting married in 16 days!!!
