GUESS WHO FORGOT ABOUT BLOGGING?!

Umm... don't be mad. My life's been a little nuts over these past couple months! Yes, I completely forgot about blogging! I'm sure all two of you who actually read this are saying, "Yes, Aimee.. I've been waiting to stalk your life and you've given me nothing." Well, wait no longer! I've got plenty of material for you!

We are at 15 more days, can you even believe it?!?! I think this is a good time to let all of you know that if you received an invitation and have not RSVP-ed, please do so IMMEDIATELY! My hard working mother and broke as a joke after this wedding father need to know how many people we are feeding at the reception :) THANK YOU!!

Also, Tyler and I are registered at:

DILLARDS, BED BATH AND BEYOND, AND KOHLS!!

There. I said it.

Well, amidst all this wonderful stress, I have had the pleasure of attending three fabulous showers in my honor this month. And yes, they were all beautiful! My bacherlorette party is coming up and I couldn't be more ecstatic to spend some much needed time with my GIRLS!! Can't wait to see what you crazy ladies have up your sleeves :)

The major details of the wedding are all set. We just finalized plans for the flowers today... I know, I know. No lecture necessary, I've already heard it all. Just recently, the back drop plans for the ceremony fell through so that's our biggest concern as of late.

Prayer is the best gift you could send to Tyler and I. Today was really rough for me, personally. I just felt really attacked by Satan and overwhelmed with planning a wedding while still working at my job. We both know God has us in this place for a reason but it's super encouraging to know that Satan wants to harm when we're closest to the Lord. We're both trying so hard and the end is in sight (March 28th) so just pray we stay at a sprint when we cross the finish line :)

Ok, that's about all I'm going to say for now. I did feel like this was very therapeutic- writing everything out, so maybe I'll add blogging to my everyday tasks list. Don't you just love to-do lists? Oh gosh, that topic belongs in its own blog.

Sleep well and Tyler and I hope to see you soon!

Making Some Headway!!

Christmas and New Years turned out to be great again this year! And here comes 2009, can you believe it?!

Now that the holidays have come and gone, we are back to full swing and knee deep in the wedding festivities! We are just 11 weeks away! Mom, Joyce Sass, Taylor Sass, and I went downtown to the George R. Brown center for the Bridal Extravaganza and can I just tell you how ridiculously crazy the whole thing is! Information overload is definitely an understatement. We saw some beautiful ideas, disgusting ideas, tasted some great cake samples, saw fashion shows, entered in many many drawings (keep your fingers crossed!), and loved every minute of it! We had a whole bag full of fliers from all kinds of venders!

After my dogs started barking, we went to Alfred Angelo to try on my dress :) Yes, it has arrived!! It is more beautiful than ever and I can't wait to see Tyler's face when I walk down the aisle! The girls also helped me pick out a veil to go with and it could not be more perfect- thanks ladies!

Random.. as we were leaving, we saw a tremendous amount of smoke coming from a building nearby and actually got to witness a fire before the whole rescue team arrived. It was really cool to see the firemen show up and confidently make sure their job was done well as they put out the fire and saved the day!

Biggest news on the planning front:
1. trying to decide on a photographer
2. finding out how many yards each bridesmaid needs so we can order the fabric
3. picking out the invitations on monday
4. and starting to make decisions for decorations at the reception

Since Christmas, we have:
1. booked our honeymoon spot- Excellence Playa Mujeres in Cancun, Mexico!!!
2. booked the hotel for the night of the wedding ;)
3. started the registry process... looks like we're going with Bed, Bath, and Beyond, Dillards, and Kohls (not completely final yet)
4. and ordered the tuxes for Tyler and his men, thank you Al's Formal Ware

Ok, I guess that's all I have for now- hope you all have a great weekend!
