It's here! Finally! After 5 months of planning it's actually here! So many things to get done this week and most of it can't be done until Thursday or Friday.
Waiting on my programs to arrive is the most stressful part of the week! They were shipped from Oregon late Friday night via USPS...who thinks they will arrive in time for the wedding Saturday at 4:30? We might be folding programs in our dresses the day of the wedding!
I had my portraits done a couple of weeks ago at my grandmother's house on one of the hottest days we've had this summer. It was around 95 degrees! With all the layers of my dress I was roasting but the pics turned out pretty good. My dress was a little tight when I picked it up for the portraits b/c they took it in too much, but they let it back out--but not quite enough! ugh so frustrating so that means salads and lots of pushups this week to try to lose weight and tone my arms/back!
Thursday we plan to go to RU and put some lights up in the banquet hall. Then to the church to set up the tables and stuff for the rehearsal dinner and drop some stuff off that we might need on Saturday.
My MOH/Cousin Paige planned a girls day for me and some of my friends last Saturday. We started the day by hiking to the cascades--in the rain--but it was still a lot of fun! We went shopping for a bit, then met some more friends for dinner at Sals in Blacksburg, then headed back to Paige's house for some fun games. :) It was a great girls day and I'm so lucky to have such awesome friends! :)

On the hike up!
We made it to the top and had lunch in the rain!
We made it back to our car--a little wet and dirty--but no accidents!
