Yikes

Well, it's been ten days since I last wrote anything here. That isn't because there aren't weddingy things going on, or because I don't like blogging (there are tons of weddingy things going on, and I adore blogging).

But you see, dear friends and family, this past week has been The Busiest Week Ever, at least as far as college is concerned. That's right... it was finals week, and not just any finals week, but my last finals week as an undergrad! So I had to temporarily put blogging and other wedding things on semi-hold while I crammed for killer exams, finished a 40-page paper, and did a presentation in font of the whole English department.

I'm back now to announce that I am officially done with college, and graduation ceremonies will be on Saturday at 10am.

David is coming out tomorrow and getting a hotel room. We've got to pack up my dorm room (how is it possible to accumulate so much stuff over a single year? Oy gevalt), pick up our marriage license at the Mercer County Courthouse, and finish the last bits of our wedding registry. Yeah, I know, it's five weeks before the wedding and the registry still isn't finished. I'd feel guiltier if more people had bought us presents, but they haven't yet, so I don't (well, I do feel guilty, but only a little).

I met with the caterer this week, did a little shopping in town for some small wedding doo-dads, and have been brainstorming about fun things like flowers and neckties and shoes. More to come on that in a day or two. My super awesome future mother and sister in law are throwing me a shower on Sunday, and I'll be blogging about that, as well.

For now, I'm going to crack open a Diet Coke, stretch out in bed, watch the newest episode of House, and enjoy being finished.

A few things

So, I've slacked off a little bit with the journal writing. There are a few reasons for this, mainly that I was busy getting wedding invitations addressed and mailed out. There will be a post on that soon, with pictures of them in progress, etcetera.

In the meantime, while I study for finals, I suggest you amuse yourselves with two of my favorite wedding-related humor blogs. I warn you, you may spend a huge number of hours looking at these, aghast.

They make me feel good about myself. I'm not entirely proud of it.

Other things coming up:

1. Finals start on Friday. I'm almost done with college!

2. We are now officially able to say that we're getting married next month. Woah.

3. Next time Dave is in Pennsylvania, we're picking up our marriage license. That's right. The wedding is close enough for things like that now. (blog post to follow)

4. We picked out wedding rings (blog post to follow)

5. Meeting this week with the catering people (blog post to follow)

6. Photography - not formally officially decided, but we might be changing photographers. A month and a half before the wedding! Am I crazy? You'll have to wait and judge for yourself.
