Things to accomplish:

1. Aharon needs a dress shirt and shoes.
2. All the guys need ties. I plan to accomplish that this weekend.
3. Flowers need to be made. Get back with me the first week in June. Scrap the making flowers. Ordered bulk floral from Sam's Club.
   
4. Hotel for night before and night of wedding needs to be booked.
5. Honeymoon plans need to be finalized.
6. My legs are really white. I should do something about this. I have a buttload of gradual tanner from bath and body works.
   
7. Put together the slide show.
8. Programs!
9. Music for the ceremony and reception.
   
10. Engagement pictures!
    

Non-Wedding related things to accomplish:

1. Car needs touch up paint applied so it looks pretty for the wedding every single day!
2. Car needs to be cleaned like woah. There's dirt from 2007 in it!
3. I have a paper to write. It's due this Saturday...or maybe next Saturday. Either way, I'm writing it on Friday night soon. Because Aharon will be gone so I can have the apartment to myself and write, dang it! I felt the need to clean the entire apartment instead of write my paper.
   
4. My prescription is not generic. I need 3 free months to make up the cost or a new prescription. I have a budget, drug companies!
5. Sign off on Aharon's loan transfer.

The Political Ramblings of Sarah

Here are the things that have me so unbelievable angry at the following topics that I can't concentrate on work until I mention them all so other people can see how asinine our country is now. Thank so much, democrats!

1. If Granholm gets appointed to the Supreme Court, I will be forming my own country. Those interested in joining who did not vote for McCain in the last election need not apply.

2. If a white person made this joke about a black person, they would probably be hanged for hate crimes. In fact, if Limbaugh had made this joke about Wanda, he would no doubt have lost his radio show and been banned from the media in about a 2 hour time frame. But because the joke is about him, it's okay for even Obama (I do not feel the need to refer to him as president until he does something worth it) to laugh.

3. Miss California doesn't believe in you either, Miss Moakler. In fact, she should have won. She lost because she's against gay marriage and that's final. No, I do not care about beauty pageants. I care about stupid, ignorant, sinful people who have places of power in our country because of poor choices they have made.

That's it for now, although I'll probably be back.

Running out of time!

Aharon and I are getting married in 51 days.
Where did the time go?

We still need to finish addressing the invitations and get those out in the mail. My goal is to have those done on Saturday.

After that, I need to focus on shower thank yous. I've heard that those are supposed to go out within 2 weeks. That probably won't happen, but I will do my best.

Once all of that is taken care of, it's time to start on flowers! Yes, some friends and I are going to make paper flowers for the ceremony. It will be cute. Trust me.

Then, it's all the last-minute details. Shoes for Aharon. Ties for the guys. Music for the church and the reception. Programs.

We'll make it. I just hope I don't go crazy by then.

Blessings

Aharon and I had our wedding shower this weekend. Rather than doing one for my family, one for his family, and one for our church family, we did one big shower. (I'm glad we did because I'm running out of weekends!) While it was a bit of a headache to put together, it ended up being wonderful. (Although none of his extended family showed up!)

I have never before felt so blessed and loved. Aharon and I got everything we could possibly need and then some. Our apartment is small - around 350 square feet counting closet space. We went ahead and registered for all the necessities; we knew with the limited space we couldn't really go overboard. But we never thought that every single thing on all three registries would be purchased! And, because Aharon's excellent at visualizing what he's organizing before it's done, everything was put away nicely by him in under 3 hours.

We were a little worried about starting off this way. Neither of us has ever lived away from home, so we didn't have anything that we needed. Aharon was also unemployed until March, so we were concerned about paying for what we were going to have to buy. And with the economy as it is, we didn't expect people to really spend much.

But God had a different idea! In the last three month, Aharon and I were able to purchase - without touching our savings - my wedding dress, a suit for him, new tires for both of our cars, some much needed repairs for his car, a new HDTV, and a bed frame and mattress set. And then the shower provided every single thing we still needed for our apartment!

We are both so thankful.

And once I finish setting up and organizing the bedroom I will get some pictures up! Promise! But right now you do not want to see that disaster area!
