Wedding Wednesday: One Month!

Today marks ONE month until our wedding. I still can't believe it! It has come so fast.

Guests have still been RSVPing as recent as last week *worried face*! We're up to about 130 confirmed guests; before invites were sent out, my mom guesstimated about 80 people would come...she was wrong! I'm actually a little surprised by the amount of people coming. I definitely didn't expect this many either, but I can't wait to celebrate with everyone.

Luckily, with the wedding being at my parents' house, we can fit as many people as we need. It's just a little worrisome when it comes to food. My mom is preparing everything and I've already had to change the head count 3 times. I think we've finally decided to just plan enough food for 175-200 people. Better to have more than enough, than run out before everyone has eaten!

We head to Indiana in 23 days. I'm so excited! We're staying with my Matron of Honor and her husband, so it's sure to be a good time. She took the entire week off work so she can help me with any and all last minute things. Bless her! I can't wait to get the barn decorated and for everything in my head to come to life. It's going to be a jam-packed week, but I'm ready!

I'm savoring this last month of our engagement. With nothing left to get done from here, we can really relax, enjoy each other & just soak it all in. I'm thinking one last road trip before the wedding would be perfect.

Five on Friday!

Friday came super fast this week and I'm NOT complaining! This has been a rough week, so I'm really glad the weekend is right around the corner!

One. I've filled out my bracket and watched Indiana bring home a win last night. I'm really not into college basketball, but it's fun to see how many wins I get right on the bracket. And I'll always cheer on my Hoosiers!

Two. Daylight Savings has been kicking my butt. My body just can't get adjusted to this time change. I've been exhausted all week AND I've even taken a few naps here and there. Hopefully next week will be better. 

Three. I've been itching to get another tattoo. This time, I think I've talked KC into getting a "matching" couple tattoo on our wrists. I practiced the other day so we could see what it would look like. I'm in love.

Four. We head to Indiana in 28 days!! I just booked our rental car this morning, so everything is ready for us to get there. Now I just need to start packing. We CANNOT forget to pack anything important, so the earlier I start packing the better chance we have of not forgetting anything.

Five. 36 DAYS UNTIL OUR WEDDING!!! I'm low-key freaking out about how close we are and how fast it came. I feel good though. Everything is done except choosing the song I wanna walk down the aisle to and I plan to get that done this weekend. I'm super excited and can't wait to celebrate our love with all our family and friends.

Currently...

It's been a while since I've done a currently post. So let me catch everyone up:

Drinking: Green tea. Lots and lots of green tea

Learning: Empathy; I've been told I lack a little in this area.

Feeling: Excited, happy, a little overwhelmed. Only 51 days until I'm a Mrs.

Craving: Honey BBQ chips. I don't know why, but I have been for about a week now.

Excited about: The Toby Mac concert we're going to tonight. Haven't seen him in concert for about ten years. It should be fun.

Planning: Our wedding trip to Indiana. So much to do the week leading up to the wedding!

Wishing: I could take a trip somewhere, but tax season :(

Wanting: To get mine and KC's couple tattoos!

Refusing to: Be negative (about anything). I'm staying positive and enjoying the last of our engagement.

What are you currently up to?
