I am so happy it's almost Friday. This week has been LONG! I thought it was Friday this morning when I woke up. I hate when that happens because Friday never seems to come.
I seem to be in a rut this week. I don't know what I feel. I miss California like no other. I missed our really good friends baby shower this past weekend. Pete and Emily are awesome friends and I hate that we couldn't be there to celebrate with them. She said it was a ton of fun though. Her husband Pete is such a sweet guy. He goes above and beyond for her. The love between the two of them makes me smile. They are truly meant to be together. He planned a suprise baby shower for her (he even designed and drew the invites). Here is how she explained it:
He had the gardeners come and plant a bunch of flowers everywhere and they put new wood chips in the planters too. The backyard had tables and chairs with pretty table cloths, and there were two bbqs set up, and the house....wow!! He had the painter come and fix the area that abe ate (remember the garage door?) and he had cleaners come and clean the entire house. He rearranged the house and put so much baby stuff around. It looked so good!
How sweet is that!? I wish I could have seen it! She said she will send me pics, which I am really excited to see.
I am so ready for our wedding to be here already. I ordered new invitations yesterday. They are very simple, but they work. I already went all out and fancy on the last ones. I want to get a stamp or make stickers that say "Take Two" on the back of the envelope. I think that would be a cute touch. I am not stressed at ALL about this wedding though. Alex still needs to go pick out a suit, I need to work on the favors and we need to decide what to do about food and alcohol for the cocktail reception, but other than that...there isn't much more to worry about, which I really like!
Have I mentioned how excited I am about the cruise!? It's really all I can think about. I think I am more excited about our honeymoon than the wedding! ha!

Life...
Has been insane. I think things are finally starting to settle down a little though.
Our really good friend Mike was in a really horrible motorcycle accident on May 14th. We didn't know if he was going to make it. He wasn't wearing a helmet, so most of his injuries were on his head. He had 4 skull fractures and his brain was swelling considerably. He has been through so much in the last 3 weeks. They went in and took out a piece of his skull on the left side to relieve some of the pressure and that did the trick. He was moved out of ICU this past Friday into a normal room. He can now talk and he actually sounds like himself finally. He looks amazing too. It is so great to see him doing so well. Autumn and Mike are two of our best friends and we are thankful to have them in our lives. Mike is truly a miracle. I have watched it right before my eyes.
We booked our honeymoon and have the wedding almost planned. Vegas wedding at the Bellagio on July 11th! My dad's birthday. That is such a special day for me! I already knew that my daddy would be with my on my wedding day, but having it on his birthday makes it that much more special to me.
We will be taking our honeymoon in August and I cannot wait for it. We will be going to the following places:
Venice, Italy
Athens (Piraeus), Greece
Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey
Istanbul, Turkey
Mykonos, Greece
Naples/Capri, Italy
Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy
Florence/Pisa (Livorno), Italy
Monte Carlo, Monaco
Barcelona, Spain
12 days of pure bliss. I have never been anywhere, so it will be nice to see a little more of the world! AND...we have a suite! The last two cruises I have taken were inside cabins. They weren't horrible...c'mon, it's a cruise! BUT...it is going to be AMAZING to have a balcony and a little extra room in the cabin. There is also a bathtub! If you haven't been on a cruise before the rooms and the bathrooms are TINY.
I have more to write about, but I am so busy at work that I just don't have time. More later!
