I did NOT want to get out of my bed this morning, which I can say is the first morning I've felt that way in what feels like weeks! My bed actually felt oh so comfy for the first time in several days (if not a couple of weeks). I did manage to get myself to roll out of bed, get ready and I was surprisingly the first person at work this morning and I was on time! I come bearing updates from what seemed like a one day weekend.

Friday, FI was at work (for his normal 24-hr shift) and I was at around town during the morning running errands. The first, and most important errand to me, was getting my hair trimmed and from there I stopped by the jewelry store where our wedding bands were ready to be paid for/picked up. Check number one for the day! I now have in possession three wedding bands (two for me, one for him) that will make our marriage official in 26 days! I also ran by Staples while I was in town and picked up some ivory paper to go in the middle of my blue/purple paper for the programs; check number two! After picking up our bands& stoping by Staples, I headed home to start on some wedding projects while watching the remainder of Season 1 Disc 1 of Grey's Anatomy. Check number three was sewing the ribbon onto the ring bearer pillow! This took longer than expected because the ribbon kept fraying at the ends where I was sewing, but I overcame that obstacle for another DIY task completed! The last bit of DIY that I can successfully put on the COMPLETED list is the layout of our Programs. I started printing the front and back pages on the blue/purple paper (check number four), but I'm holding off on printing the inside pages for a couple of different reasons of which we hope to finalize/settle this week.

Saturday I was pretty much lazy most of the day just because I could be and I worked semi-hard getting some wedding things done the day before. I went to the PO to hopefully find more RSVP's waiting for me (and there were three there). Took a nap, then it was off to another shower being hosted by my lovely sister & mother. We had a great time, lots of people, lots of great food, and LOTS of presents which filled up the rest of the basement at my parents house. I'm not real sure where we're going to put anything we get at our church shower this weekend because seriously, we have been WAY too blessed with the generosity of our friends and family! We received a tons of great things, here are some I can remember off the top of my head:
- another set of our dishes (we've got two sets so now we can host up to 8 people)
- 2 sets silverware from Target that sure does look good with our dishes
- the small glasses to match our dishes (his family got the large glasses match our dishes)
- our stainless steel kitchen canisters
- a set of pyrex dishes
- dish towels (FINALLY! We hadn't gotten any until now)
- sheets for both our bed as well as the guestroom bed
- a lovely shower curtain (thanks to my sister-in-law who obviously listens well, since I was admiring her EXACT one a while back! :D)
I could go on and on and on...but honestly you would be here all day listening. I was overwhlemed at the gifts we recieved. Immediately leaving the shower we headed to the store to get gorceries to make food for our homecoming at church the next day.

All I can say about Sunday was that is was an awesome day in the Lord! And today, I'm at work, reluctantly, but I'm here. I hope to add some pictures to this post as well as the previous post this evening.
I hope everyone has a great Monday!
