Last night, I stopped to pick up my mail from the townhouse where I used to live. I found that a huge box had arrived for Peter and I from Bed Bath and Beyond. LOL, I tried heroically to get that puppy into my car, but it would not fit at all. Opening the box and emptying the contents seemed to be the only way to get it to fit. That worked, and now it's back at our house. Getting married is like Christmas in September!

I went home last weekend to try on my dress and such, and can I just say, it's beautiful! Jeanette has done a fantastic job - truly a labor of love. Pictures of it will be coming after the wedding;)

Amazingly I feel very calm about everything. There is just an endless list of tiny details that keep coming up, but project by project, they are getting done.

Gotta run for now.

30 days!

Yes, it's true. We're tying the knot in 30 days. Crazy in a way the way the time is flying.

Our house is looking more and more like a home. Peter found an adorable kitchen table with 4 chairs. The kitchen just feels more like home now.

We finished the chair rail in the living room, and it looks amazing. Actually, I should say Peter finished it. I provided dinner and an occasional hand where needed.

We put our bed up in our room last night! It looks really pretty, too.
The new mattresses and frame were wedding gifts from his parents, and I have to say after sleeping on the mattresses last night, thank you! They are really nice! hehe, that's the beauty of living there now - I get to try everything out first:-)

Wedding plans are really coming together. I hear my dress is amazing, thanks to my amazing family. I get to try it on in two weeks when I head home for a weekend, yay! Can't wait to see it.

Peter and I are getting pretty excited!
