nine months...oh my!

so the baby that is my wedding will be here in nine months. Okay less than nine months. Eight months and three weeks. I am getting more excited about it. My goal is not to put any of our portion of the wedding (my parents are funding a large part of it) on our credit cards. Because of this, I've been working like a dog. I subbed for a week of Pre-AP summer school, went to an AVID conference and next month I teach summer school. Luckily, I enjoy these things. I just really don't want to start our wedding with a ton of debt, so pay the wedding as we go and then after the wedding pay off my credit card (or pay it down...I hear it's good to have a balance) and then buy a house! We'll see. Whatever is in God's plan.

So, I have made some wedding related purchases. Today I bought light blue cardstock and opal metallic envelopes. When I get them, I'm going to start making my save the dates! Woo-hoo! This week I also need to purchase stamps. I'm thinking superhero stamps will be cute and Murad will like them.

Last week Christina and I toured Hotel Indigo. So nice!!! It's one of those trendy Dallas hotels, but surprisingly it's not super expensive and the rate their giving our guests is awesome. One main selling point was the location. It's across the street from our wedding location. Some of the other selling points: Aveda hair and bath products, flat screen t.v.'s, free Wi-Fi. Also, it's a small hotel, so they're very accommodating. For example, the hotel bar is only open until 11pm. If we tell them in advance, they'll keep it open until 2am. Almost like a private party! We can also have our rehearsal dinner there. I really hope my future father-in-law likes it. It would be so ideal to have our dinner there.

So, I found the dress....for my girls. There's no way anyone can see my dress. Why? Because it doesn't exist! My mom isn't done with it yet. However, the dress my girls are going to wear is stunning. I wish I could wear it! I think people might be confused if I did. It's a champagne colored gown. The brown band will be sky blue on my girls' dresses. I can't wait to get them.

I am that girl. I am that girl who is obsessed with her wedding. But right now I'm more obsessed with doing my homework. I need to get motivated and off the computer....Adios!
