Watching the Weather

I had probably more apprehension about hitting the ten day mark from our wedding than most people would think. Why? Why 10 days and not 7?

Because 10 days is the first glance at the forecast people!

I was relieved when I pulled it up and it showed this:

 

Wooo! 75 and Sunny! (Well partly cloudy is good in my book - better for photos than full on sunlight).

I did a happy jump around dance and then quickly knocked on some wood so that the weather gods don't think that I am being presumptuous and decide to teach me a lesson.

See, here is the thing: I have been trying to convince my friends for years that it is g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s in the Midwest in the summer time, that it does not snow year round, etc. So the fact that we set a record low yesterday for June 6th (unbroken since 1938) was not making me feel very good.

But, the weatherpeople are saying that this weekend is a freak cold snap and should start warmingback up on Monday evening (whew.)

Here is hoping the weatherpeople are right for maybe the first time ever.

"To do, to do, before I say I do"

A lovely friend gave me the cutest notepad with that saying printed on it for wedding planning purposes...and I am using it.

Last night we realized we are almost at 7 months to our wedding - yikes!

The trip to Wisconsin for Christmas is going to be a whirlwind of family and holidays along with as much wedding planning as we can fit in over a week and a couple of days.

On the list:

• Revisiting Lake Wissota...Austin hasn't seen it.
• Working out a tasting for reception food
  
• Booking a church {it would be important to actually get married at our wedding...}
• Finding a Rehearsal Dinner location
• Talking to hotels
• Meeting with photographer and hopefully booking her
• Finding a cake
• Meeting with multiple florists and booking one
• Dress Shopping!
• Booking a DJ, and talking to little brother about band possibilities 

I feel that there will be more things that come out, but this list is already looking ambitious.

Time to get an itinerary going!

Anyone else that had a crunched time frame to do these things? What have you found that are important to get done first?
