10 days left. Only 5 days of work. 5 days and 4.5 hours. Not including overtime, which there will be a fair amount of.

In 10 days I'll be a taken woman. Bwhahaha.

Things are good, think we mayyyy have everything done by this weekend. Now it's just getting a mani and pedi, dropping off vases (Saturday morning), finding a necklace (Saturday), sending a check to the DJ, and....packing for the honeymoon.

We've had a few more people drop out of the dinner, and more shocking with social networking, is reading what people can afford when they couldn't afford our wedding. Hahah. I think it's such a big deal to us, that we think everyone would have that filter, not true. I love that the whole experience, the good and the bad, has made the wedding all that more meaningful for Matt and I. We are each other's family, and we will always have support for each other. <3

I'm hungry. 13 more minutes. It's McLean week, so they feed us lunch everyday. In exchange for running around like a crazy woman trying trying to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Matt's been working a lot. Too many hours before the election. I hope he gets to go out to Cali for a little bit when we get back from the honeymoon. Just not too long....3 nights is about when I go a lil' crazy. Plus, our house is too big and therefore scary. That would suck - we get back from our honeymoon and he's gone for a month. Welcome to marriage. Ew. Hhahaha.

Oh, 6 minutes til lunch!

I tried to make crab cakes yesterday - tasted pretty good, but not cakey enough - think I need to add more bread crumbs.

Okay, need to go. Just needed a brain break. :)

Oh, check out NYTimes or WashPost - cocoa genome project is 3 years ahead of schedule!

In 14 days, I will be on vacation. Yup - watching my nieces and nephews play in the pool. Ahhhh. In 15 days, I'll be rehersing. And in 16 days, married. In 18 days, flying to Italy as a newlywed.

Time flies. We've been engaged for so long that now that it's here, time is just going by so much faster.

We've really been doing a lot for the wedding - finishing tentcards, seating chart, rehersal invites, programs, confirming everything we ordered months ago (dj, florist, limo, etc). And since we've both been working late, we're not even getting home until 7:30 every night. Makes for busy nights, and busier weekends.

Work is going fine - busy trying to finish everything up before I go. Which means overtime, and we need it. We've been budgetting for 2 years now almost every penny. And we'll continue to do so for the next 6 months until we pay off the wedding. They are expensive!!! Even with all the discounts we managed! Hahaha. It'll be so nice to not have to worry about it all day every day.

There's also been a lot of back and forth recently about my "career path" - which leads me to think of this more as a job, and less of a career. Great company, slow to change. I suppose that's the mantra of family owned businesses though.

Okay, I'm really busy, so back to work. :)
