3 Days...

I haven't been able to update this like I want to because 1) it has obviously been a very busy time for me and 2) we haven't gotten internet at the new house, but they are coming to install it tomorrow...yay!!!!! Mom got here on Sunday night and we have been running all over and working really hard at the house to get the house in order for all of my friends to come and getting all of the last minute details done. I am also in the process of laundry and starting to pack for our HONEYMOON!!! John Hoyt has been painting our bedroom for the last few days, and hopefully he will finish tonight. This morning, Aunt Donna got here to help us out and she has been amazing. I've been able to get internet here and there by going to John Hoyt's parent's house. We have gotten so much done in the last few days, but we only have tomorrow until 7 to finish everything up because that is when the girls get here! I am beyond excited about this weekend. I am so excited to see all of our friends and family and to FINALLY marry John Hoyt. It's been a long time coming :) We have been so blessed and I am so excited to start my life with him. Although it has been stressful at times, it has been a blast spending time with Mom, Aunt Donna, Jackie, Tori and all of the other people that have been here to help me! Tomorrow is the Bachelorette Party and the fun just continues after that with my family and friends coming into town!

6 Days...

I can't believe we're now less than a week away. It really doesn't seem real. John Hoyt and I talked the other day and we agreed that we've been in wait mode for so long that it doesn't seem like it's really here. My mom is on her way here as I type this an we're going to be working really hard this week to finish everything up before Thursday. I had my bridal shoot last Wednesday and had an amazing time! I can't wait to see the pictures!!! This is going to be a crazy week, but it's going to be so much fun!

18 Days...

We're at about 2 and a half weeks away from our big day! This is finals week and luckily, I'm blessed enough to not have any finals so I can focus on packing, moving, and spending time with friends. I have been working some too. Packing is so bittersweet. My room is extremely empty and it's really sad, but I'm excited to see all that stuff moved to my new house!

I got an e-mail about the assistantship I wanted and I got it!! It also might lead to a summer job, so I'm meeting with someone else next week about that! Next week I also have my bridal shoot which I am of course thrilled about! We did a practice run on my hair Saturday night and I loved it! I'm really excited about seeing how everything turns out! I also got the schedule for the wedding day from my photographer! That made everything so real. It's going to be a busy couple of days and I'm excited about spending time with my family and friends.

I talked to my dad last night and we came up with a plan for this weekend which is GRADUATION!!! They are going to be spending the night at my house for 2 nights so I'm going up Thursday to get things in order. With all of the moving, there are boxes everywhere. John Hoyt got me a surprise move-in present! While I was getting my hair done, he went to the store and then when we both got back to the house, he made me close my eyes and he took me outside to see a tomato plant that he planted for me! Tomatoes are my favorite food so it was soooo sweet and I've been telling him that I wanted to plant one for so long! This Friday is our 5-year anniversary! To celebrate, we are going to breakfast and then going to get our marriage license!!! With everything else going on, we don't really have time to do anything major, but I think that getting our marriage license will be the perfect way to celebrate!
