10.more.days.
Well we officially have 10 more days until the big day. I felt at this point I would be writing to say everything is done! We are ready to go! We are feeling GREAT! ......... um no.
I am home sick.
Not just with any sickness to get me out of "work"....meaning I just wanted to stay home and pack early.. this sickness has me on antibiotics (thanks to the 3 hour trip to urgent care saturday.. with a really good sport- kell- who made it clear to all nurses and doctors we were not leaving until they gave me something), coughing, sneezing, throat hurting, sinus clogged, jaw hurting, wanting to stay under the covers and not come out sickness.
With this on my plate I am pushing through. There is NO more time to be sick after today. It will be gone by tomorrow.
There are literally about 198340982304 things on our wedding to-do list, let alone my own to-do list of 2234092834 things.. including 6 days worth of lesson plans, interims and planning for conferences.
All more than worth it though- let me make that perfectly clear. I just can't believe that this time, the week after next, I will be married to the man of my dreams, sipping delicious cocktails on the beach- or in my private ocean front pool- in the Dominican Republic. Somehow that makes the hell of this week and next; worth it. :)

Currituck Courthouse!
Brett and I went to the courthouse on Monday and got our Marriage license! It was a lot easier than I thought. All we did was fill out a single sheet of paper application form and then the woman looked at our drivers licenses for half a second. After that was done, she typed our answers into the computer and gave us two printed copies. We then swore over the bible that all of our information was correct. Next, the woman, Brett and I took turns signing the papers. Now just our witnesses and Brad Bradshaw need to sign them after our ceremony and mail them back to the Registrar of Deeds! It's getting close y'all!

60 Days and Counting! AH!
Welp, there are officially 60 days until the BIG day! Today means a few things:
1. B and I can officially get our marriage license!!!
2. OMG we have 2 MONTHS TO GO!!!!!!
RSVPs have started coming back. Every day my mom will call and tell me the update- who said yes, who said no, who is coming to the wedding and brunch, who is not coming to brunch etc. I am starting to feel the crunch. I feel like I have no time left!! I know I will get everything done, it is just a matter of prioritizing and taking things one step at a time.
To Do List:
1. Making the table numbers (really excited for this task! creativity comes into play)
2. Place cards
3. Program for the ceremony
4. Tell the band what songs I hate and will not be played ;)
(aka electric slide & jump around)
5. make the slide show for the rehearsal dinner
6. make our guest book (so excited for this idea and for everyone to see!)
7. Final cake flavor decisions
8. & 1000 other things that I can't think of right now
Brett is coming to the beach this weekend. We get to go and apply for our marriage license!!! How exciting!!! EEK! We are also going to meet with the man who will me marrying us! He just so happened, very luckily, to fall into our hands. A friend from work got married in the OBX a few years ago and Brad Married her and her husband. She/I could not find his contact information for the life of us! I did not know he was from Kitty Hawk Methodist Church- and it just so happens that he is a great friend of my wedding coordinator and her husband. Connections make the world a better place. :)
I have also started to look for poems to be read at the wedding... I found one that I LOVE but still need 2 more that I'm in LOVE with.
All in all, things are progressing nicely.
