I have a confession to make: though I continually apologize for my recent (ahem...the last six...err eight...weeks) lack of posting, I just have to be realistic and say I don't see that changing until after the wedding (which is in like...THREE WEEKS). While I'd like to be talking to you guys regularly, I just don't have time! After working all day, we usually have plans starting at 5:01 or are running out the door to run errands (all wedding stuff). We also finally coordinated schedules with the pastor who is marrying us and JUST start premarital counseling last Friday (I didn't live here, then we were up to our necks in moving every weekend for five solid weeks, then the pastor was in Israel for a few weeks...now it's the holidays!) Oh man. So here we are...down to the last few weeks and more items on the to-do list than there are days left.
But I'm excited. I'm ready to be married already to this crazy, godly, over-thinking, busy, smart, handsome, compassionate and encouraging man that's about to be my husband. I'm ready. I know this wedding won't go entirely as planned, things won't happen like we are envisioning and the mid-December weather is nothing but unpredictable. But we don't care...as long as we're married at the end of the day, then everything will have gone perfectly.
All that said, we're working on projects out the wazoo! I've never crammed so many DIY projects into such a short period! Don't worry, I may be making you wait, but I will eventually be sharing all of this! I partly wait because of time and I partly wait because I don't want to take the fun out of it for the friends and family who will be there. :)
BUT...I do have a fun little reveal for you today. Remember when I kept talking about a "client" room a few weeks ago? It was for a co-worker whose husband was deployed. She wanted him to come home to a space that was all his. So, with a small budget, my job was to provide the furniture and some fun elements. I was responsible for the couch (Target), chair (vintage...from Craigslist...I wanted to keep it!), coffee table (thrifted), 6-foot leaning chalkboard (I built it; I'll give you a tutorial...after the wedding, lol!), metal/wood rolling cart and tall media stand (Crate and Barrel, but I owned them), and a lamp, pillows, etc...all for less than $300.
