T-Minus 10 days and counting!

With just 10 days to go till the wedding, and many many projects to finish, I have been a spray painting fool! I actually finished spray painting my metal chairs that I have been renovating from a previous post. Now to finish these other unfinished spray paint projects. I swear, my finger is killing me and I'll probably have carpel tunnel in my hand by the time I'm done with it all! I almost bought the spray paint handle, but I didn't.. I just might go back to the store, and sneak that little jobber in my cart this time.
I don't know why, but I'm always amazed at how drastically better something can look with just a can of spray paint...

Today I'm writing down anything I can possibly think of that I need to do or remember for the wedding. I'm quite geeked. My parents will be here this weekend.. and basically this is it..! We're off and running, getting everything put together and ready for the big day. I think it's starting to sink in that it's actually happening. As I'm making my list, I'm visualizing the events the day of; getting my hair & makeup done, and getting pictures, and thinking about the ride over to the house for the wedding. Oh my goodness.. it's crazy. Exciting. Nerve-racking.
Envisioning walking down the aisle, taking our vows and exchanging rings.. I definitely get teary-eyed. This is it. It's 10 days away. The day I've been waiting for, like all my life.

God has given me such a wonderful man. As I sit here going through vows, I think of the commitment we're making to each other and our future together. This man would tear down the house and rebuild it from the ground up if I asked him to. We had a long-quite-involved conversation yesterday about the to-do list for the wedding and everything that's going on. I know these aren't things he loves doing. But for me, he'll slay dragons. Because I want it. Because it makes me happy. After all this, I came back to work, and was playing on Youtube... working really hard... and thought about the first song we'll dance to as Husband and Wife. Originally, I thought I knew it would be Heaven by Bryan Adams. We both love this song, and it's been a song close to both of us in this relationship. But after yesterday's conversation, I realized it was supposed to be Everything I do, by Bryan Adams, this song says it all. My fiance LOVES Bryan Adams, which was also partly why I had picked the other one in the first place. But this song is it. I'll probably bawl my eyes out. I'll be surprised if there'll even be any make up still on my face after the ceremony.. let alone by the first dance! I simply can not wait. This day will be everything I've ever dreamed of.

I have the absolute best family in the world. I don't care how great you think your family is.. Mine is better :-p. I have two parents that are absolutely going above and beyond for me. I don't deserve it. My grandmother has dug plants out of the ground. My brother has built me a gorgeous bird house-card holder for the wedding. My mom has just plain worked her butt off to make sure I have whatever it is I want for my wedding. These people are amazing. I can not wait to see everything they do. My mother is an absolute Catering-party-Miracle Worker. God has blessed her with a gift like you wouldn't believe. I know God put the best people in my life. Each person has a talent or gift they're bringing to the table for my wedding. It's unreal.

Ok. I'm off for now. I have a hair appt :) yay!
