147 Days...

Merry Christmas!! It has been so nice to relax all day and not really do anything! My whole family has pitched in to help me with invitations and we're done with what we can do for now. I'm still trying to get a few addresses and I have to get some more ribbon, but we bought our WalMart out so I have to find some somewhere else so we're just kind of pausing on the last 40 or so invitations. They are perfect in every way! I think they're absolutely beautiful and they're exactly what I wanted! It's been a really big mess on our breakfast room table for awhile now, but we cleaned it all up for Christmas so we could have somewhere to sit! We got a ton of errands done a few days ago. My mom and I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond so she could help me know what things to register for, like what the best cookware and bakeware stuff is. John Hoyt and I are registering as soon as I get back to Georgia so I wanted her advice and I also didn't want to have to spend forever registering at every place. We also got the combs for my veil and the flowers for my hair. They're beautiful and I am hoping it all looks good! Yesterday John Hoyt bought our comforter for our bed! I've had an eye on it for awhile and I was looking at it online and panicked because it was on clearance and not available online. We went to several stores here in PA and they couldn't even look to see if it was available at other stores. John Hoyt was sweet enough to drop by and see if they had it at the Mall of Georgia, and luckily they did!! Dad called them and got the clearance price and then John Hoyt got it for an even better price, so even though it seems small, I think God really blessed us with that. I LOVE that comforter and I couldn't find anything even close to how much I love it. I'm just really thankful that we were able to get it and at such an amazing price! It's one small step closer to starting our life together! I really miss him and hate that we can't spend Christmas together, but I've had a wonderful time with my family and it has been so nice to just spend the day together relaxing! Next year will definitely be different, but we're going to work something out to spend time with our families somehow! We still have to finish my veil and I have to design our programs. All this DIY stuff is making me kind of crafty! I hope each of you have had a wonderful Christmas!
