On Thursday, Christopher and I are going to register at Macy's and Target. Those are the only places we're going to register at for now. We really don't need much stuff. We need furniture, but obviously, that's expensive, and the average person cannot afford that. We wouldn't want anyone buying us furniture anyway...too much money. Hopefully we can afford it because the only thing we have is everything that I have in my current house, which is plenty to start off with. I really want a king bed because I like my space, but we may have to wait for that. I think a house should come first.
Wow did I get sidetracked...after registering (and who knows how long that will take), we really don't have any plans. I did make a list of things that I wanted to register for, so that should make everything go quicker, but I'll probably want to shop afterwards...poor Christopher. I'll probably visit with all of the family that will be in town due to Mimi's surprise 80th birthday party.
On Friday (what a big day), we have to take the dogs to the vet to get groomed. After that, Christopher and I are going to Burt's Pumpkin Farm and Amicalola Falls! We will each get a pumpkin to carve on Halloween (aka our 5 year anniversary), then we will go hiking at the park. We have to be back by 5:00 so I can get my bridal makeover. I know it's early, but I'm worried that I will not be able to recreate the look, so it may take a lot of practice. But the savings of doing my own makeup is amazing, therefore, I'm doing my own makeup even if it looks like poop. Good news though, I got some sun this weekend, so I won't get pasty makeup (which I've currently been using thanks to the pastiness of my skin)!!
On Saturday, I'm going to finally see Lauren!! We're going to have brunch/lunch. Then I have to bake a cake for Mimi's party. I really have the whole afternoon free until 6:00--I have to pick up food from Primrose Cottage so I will know what it tastes like (I really hope it's good!). Then, I have to rush home for Mimi's party. I know I'll miss the surprise thanks to Primrose...thanks Primrose Cottage for being so accommodating.
Sunday is church, and then Christopher and I are coming back to Tuscaloosa with Sandra, and that will be the end of our break. It's going to be really really busy, but it should also be lots of fun.
For today, I've only accomplished drinking a latte and eating a sticky bun. Now I must exercise and do work before the busy afternoon. I have allergy shots at 3:45, but I'm also supposed to meet Rebekah at David's Bridal at 4:00. I'll get to the SHC early, and hopefully they will give me my shots early so I can meet Rebekah. I'm so excited to finally be looking at colors and the bridesmaid dresses!! We'll be there for about an hour, and then I am meeting Natalie for dinner somewhere of my choice--wherever that may be. Then I'm done for the day. Maybe I'll pack or clean. I just learned that vacuuming and dusting burns about 300 calories, so fire that maid, and start cleaning/exercising!
