Alright, so, here's an update:
The centerpiece idea that I had from the beginning of my planning was falling through. The colours weren't working together. But, after thinking more about it and talking to my sister, I decided to order a different colour that will work better. I will have to make up a mock one and take a photo of it. I'm very confident that it's going to work out a lot better now!
I ordered the bridesmaid dresses and I'm excited to see them except I have to wait another one and a half to three and a half weeks. I'm sure they'll be great! Oh, I don't know if I wrote this before but I got a dress for myself too - only in a different colour. I can't wait.
This last week was our 6 months as an engaged couple. It also signifies the date that I'm supposed to take my engagement ring in for cleaning/inspection. I haven't done it yet but hopefully this coming week I will have a free day.
As for invitations, I have - mostly - all the pieces cut out. I have assembled... 2... but I'm on my way to more! To envision them is one thing but to finally see the finished product is so great. It's becoming a little more real.
This weekend, we are heading to Edmonton for YC 2010. It's going to be a long and tiring weekend. One thing I'm really excited about is the coach bus we're getting... instead of a 15 passenger van. It's going to be more relaxing that way!
Well, life is crazy but I'm coping. Sometimes I want to scream at my boss, sometimes I want to shut the world off, sometimes I want to stop time... all these are impossible for me so what I end up doing is taking a big (really big) breath and organize my thoughts. I make a mental "To Do" list and it helps me to prioritize.
Anyway, now that I've gotten that all talked about, I'm off to pack for the weekend. Good night!

3 Months
I can't believe it's just under 3 months to the wedding. I feel both organized and disorganized at the same time. Tonight I am working on making lists for ushers, helpers, MC's, speakers, etc. I think it'll make me feel a little more organized.
I bought ink for my printer today and I have the invitation and enclosure cards all ready to print. I also have all the other extras ready to go for the invitations. I'm still collecting addresses and getting ready to print out address labels.
Other than that, I'm working on other small details.
Can I just say that I feel very blessed. Jeremy's parents and my parents are still together. I have been more and more interested in shows called Wedding SOS and "Rich Bride, Poor Bride" and I'm actually watching one Wedding SOS right now where there are 4 different families to "please" and it puts a lot of stress on the couple and on the families as well. It's so hard to imagine we getting through that but I'm very thankful that that is the kind of things we don't have to worry about.
Thank you Garnet and Audrey and Mom and Dad. You have been a great example to us as a God-fearing couple who desire to have Christ at the centre of the marriage. Thank You!!

New Things
So it's been a while and a few things have happened in that time...
I have moved out of my sister's home and into my own condo. I am renting right now and then we'll see what the future brings. For now, I am loving the quietness and coziness of "my own home". Jeremy has moved a lot of his stuff in already so the transition after the wedding shouldn't be too big except that there will be another whole person living with me.
I haven't started on my invitations yet (eek!) but I'm on my way. I have my paper and ribbon and other things. All I'm really waiting for is a printer and the Internet at my place so that I can get cracking. I do have the return address labels, envelopes, and recipient address labels ready to go so that's good. I also have all my postage stamps and I just have to stick them on the envelopes.
I started my registry at Sears and I've done it all online. I don't know where else to register except this little place called Kitchen Kaboodle downtown Medicine Hat that was suggested to me by my future Mother-in-Law. There's a lot of nice kitchen stuff which would be really fun to go through. I was thinking of registering at The Bay too but I'm not sure about that now. I would really love to register at Home Outfitters but the closest one is in Lethbridge and I don't get there very often.
I still have to order bridesmaid dresses but I wanted to get a little more input. I'm kind of thinking I'll just order them anyway.
We have started our premarital counselling and so far so good. I love our pastor and he's a really great guy who is easy to talk to and he makes you feel comfortable. He's not one of those guys who knows a lot and lets you know that. He doesn't pretend to have it all together - because no one really does!
Once I get my kitchen table - today - I will start working on those lists and getting really organized. I would hate to get to our rehearsal and have no idea what's going on for my own wedding.
Well, we'll see how things go and I'll post more later.
