Wedding planning update and "plugs"

So Kevin and I are making strides with booking everything. The ceremony and reception site are booked. I ordered the save the dates through a great website, www.weddingpaperdivas.com, they have everything!!!! So fabulous! Kevin and my Mum went and met with the DJ and we have EJ the DJ!!!! The photographer is a good friend of Kevin's John Caplice www.johncapliceweddings.com. No wedding cake, we are having cupcakes!!! We will get these and our invitations from Party Favors in Brookline-so wonderful! I have my wedding gown, my shoes. The menu is picked out, and the only other big thing to do is decide on flowers. You would think this would be easy. I love flowers. My sister was a florist and my best friend still is. I just can't make up my mind. I have so many ideas, and I am driving myself crazy over this.....I am thinking roses, but they are so typical, but they are timeless. I also live a more organic feel, I have seen a lot of bouquets with lotus pods....different. I love Bamboo for centerpieces, but seriously how do I work that into my bouquet????? Back to the hundreds of web sites, and bridal mags I guess....

to the new year and the new improved me!

so typically with the new year come the resolutions that we never keep....so i have decided that i am not making resolutions. instead i am setting goals to better myself in general. some little things, some more extravagant.....

i have already quit smoking. so some of my other goals are: utilize the cruise control in etta the jetta...i drive too fast. i am well aware of it, so when i am on the highway, i am going to use my cruise control. i am going to keep it set at 65 mph. i usually drive between 70-80 mph....

i want to be more punctual. i am almost always late. i have to work on that...

also i am going to work at improving my posture, and i want to be more graceful. not that i am a bull in a china closet, but my grandmother wanted my parents to send me to charm/finishing school when i was younger, and i really wish that they had. i want to look into charm school. i want to be polished. i want to be more lady-like-think jackie o or audrey hepburn.

so from now on this is my mantra...... humility, grace, forgiveness, peacefulness, gratefulness...
I feel refreshed.I feel better already...

someday i will figure out what i want to be when i grow up...seriously. let me just get through these things first. start small and work my way up.

Here it goes!!!!
