Love Day

With all the wedding stuff going on and my moms determination for me to have nothing at their house but the clothes im wearing (for those of you who dont know, they are trying to sell their house) I am slooooooooowwwwllllyyyyy getting wedding details done. This is mainly because the new printer Drew just bought for us to do wedding stuff on must be kept at mine and Drews house. This does nothing but make wedding planning MORE complicated. So, for now, when I need to print things, or scan things, or simply get more clothes to wear I must drive 1hour and 15mins to Harpersville to do it!!

So, to make things a little easier, Drew has offered to stay at his parents any time I need to stay the night at our house to get things done. --burden lifted--

Last week I decided to take him up on the offer so that I could scan the thousand pictures needed for our wedding slideshow. On Thursday night I traveled to the Chelsea walmart to get cookie-dough, sprinkles, wax paper, and flower. I know you are wondering "what are you doing with those items??" well, I had decided that to give Drew just a *little* surprise for v-day (we had decided earlier not to do anything because we are both so broke and busy from the wedding). But, I can never resist! So, I was going to make sugar cookies for him in the shape of hearts with BLUE sprinkles since he is a boy (trying to make it something he would like- one item learned from pre-marital counseling ;) ). And if any of you know Drew then you KNOW he loves sweets so cookies are right up his alley.
Well, I ran thru walmart and drove on to our house.
As I walked up the stairs into the kitchen I found on the counter this!:

Drew had so sweetly written me a letter, along with lots of candy, telling me to enjoy the night in our new home and that he couldnt wait to be there with me next year on v-day!

Then, I walked over to the stove where I found this!:


Flowers, a SWEET card, and more candy! The card directed me to look in the fridge where he had made (yes, thats right ladies) he MADE chocolate covered strawberries!!
Yes, he is making them for the wedding now ;)


So that night I overindulged in TV! Strawberries! Candy! and Spaghetti! (he knew how bad I had been wanting to make spaghetti with our new cooking stuff from the shower so he left me all the ingredients!) SO SWEET!!!

As you all know, the next day I woke up to a blizzard! Work had been cancelled and our house was getting covered in snow! So, a little bit depressed (cause I had no one to play in the snow with) I sat on the couch all day and watched tv/napped!

Then the door bell rang,

And I recieved these!:

Lets just say he more than destroyed my cookie idea with all of his creativity! But, I still made the cookies, although, they werent near as good as the Chocolate Covered Strawberries!

Drew is such a great fiance! And I know he is going to make a great husband!!

Deadlines & Emotions

Just wanted to update you all on the 'list'...
I pretty much have done it all!-
In the past 10 days we have bought all supplies, made the invitations, found a caterer and a cake baker!!
Only things left to do are minor small arts and crafts type things! woohoooooo!!
We are getting knee deep in our pre-marital counseling and it is going GREAT!
School is starting to speed up and I am getting prepared for papers and midterms but I am SANE!!
I hope to begin sharing pictures with you all of the wedding planning. I just have to get the *new* camera Drew bought me out and make time to use it!! Lets just say pictures have been the least of my worries lately but Id like to make time for them.
Life at home is good. Mom is going CrAzY because they are selling their house. Each morning the house must be SPOTLESS and on Saturdays we are not allowed to enter the home unless we are planning on buying it! lol! But, despite her constant nagging about keeping it clean and clutter free it has been great to be at home. I am finding myself a little sad to be leaving soon (FOREVER).
Last week I finally had my first, second, and third emotional breakdown in regards to the wedding. I wouldnt call this a negative thing tho. I believe the emotions are the good kind. I find myself crying out of joy and out of fright because Im scared to be leaving my life in the hands of someone else (FOREVER). But, over all I am very joyous about this. I guess its better to be getting the emotions out NOW than on the alter.
Im wondering... am I going to boohoooo or laugh? ;)
