8 Months

So today it is 8 months to our wedding. Today was a good day getting things done...sort of. Last night I got addresses for Tom's family and friends and now have just 12 addresses remaining to get and confirm. So I set out addressing the remaining envelopes for our Save the Dates. As I was stuffing envelopes with our cards for the out of town guests, I realize that I did not put on their save the date, 'Formal invitation to follow.' I am going to confuse so many people maybe?? I hope not. There will be some no doubt who ask about it but whatever they will survive!!

8 months out and today we bought my wedding band! It was a bit more than planned but it's the band that goes with my engagement ring so it seems like a good fit! It's currently getting sized and we should have it next week. I also had gone in to get my engagement ring rhodium plated and found out after that it was going to be 7-10 days. Until I get it back, I'm wearing my $12 ring Tom bought me back when my ring had to be fixed.

Things are going well wedding planning wise. We heard back from the caterer today too!! Which was good! I had been waiting forever for that. It seems like we might be saving a good chunk of money there (compared to what I had put in the budget). So that is a good thing - help us to get back on track!

I realized the other day that I had about 26 DIY projects to do as of one year out and have not completed nearly enough as of late. This means it is also time to get back on track with all the little detail projects that need to be taken care! That is the goal for the next 2 months!! Plus CRAFT DAY is coming up in November!!
