planning...

Ok!! Well I had not paid attention to it because obviously I have been very wrapped up in school... but yeah it crept up on me that I now have about EIGHT WEEKS (give or take a few days) till MY WEDDING!
Today, I have been absolutely stressed out in my mind about this wedding... I do not even know where to begin, what to start with, or who to call.
I do have my dress and I do have my bridesmaid dresses ordered, but that's it... I know i know!! EIGHT WEEKS!!!!!!!

If anyone has any suggestions, pointers, hints, tip, yada-yada!! LET ME KNOW... pretty please :)

Thank You So Much :)!!

Graduate.

Yesterday, I graduated from Motlow College! I am so excited& next fall I will be starting the 2+2 program& be on my way to become a teacher. I am excited and nervous.
*By the way, I didn't even realize till I got to graduation and was reading the pamplet, that I graduated CUM LAUDE! Personally, I am super excited. But just thought I would share.
