as my FI and i flew back from our Wedding Open House in SLC, we spent time discussing our 10 mile long to-do list.... which by the way we have 18 days or 2.5 weeks left!
time to really buckle down.
the past 4 days wass the most time we've consecutively spent together maybe since our trip to Jackson Hole last summer when we got engaged! so, we used most of this past weekend to catch up on all of the "things" we've been meaning to talk about or forget to bring up - in relation to the wedding.
after talking and interupting each other mid thought so we wouldn't lose our own train of thought - it hit us that not only are we rapidly approaching our wedding date (duh!), we still have so many miles to cover on the journey to Aug 2nd.... not to mention we are trying to set up shop for our married lives together after that date... so it's wedding and marriage planning all rolled into one large rolling snowball. (i like visual imagery)
here's a brilliant yet totally lame idea i came up with to help keep me on track - rather than just a huge to-do list i made 3 to work from and i'm filling them in according to the week.
here's an example of a few things per week:
this week (before the bachelor party)
- get keys to apartment/ paint/ get utilities transfered
- get final hotel guest list for OOT Bags & order Bags
- go hunting for OOT goodies
- prep for crazy wedding workshop this weekend
next week (before my bachelorette party):
- finish bridal party gifts (since i'm such a DIY lady)
- make sure all my time off from work is taken care of
- empty my bank account - ie. pay all bills due while we are on our honeymoon
- finalize music & wedding weekend/ day of timeline and distribute to all vendors & bridal party members
week of wedding:
- no more DIY projects! must be complete before leaving for Vegas
- finish HM packing
- get floating rafts for HM =) so cheesy
- go crazy! jk
it helped me to lay out the weeks this way... and now i'm starting to break down these lists into smaller ones i can use each day of those weeks. for example the night before i have a game plan of what errands need to be run before or after work, so the next day i can not only conserve gas, but my time and sanity - which could be better used for another task!
do i sound insane or has anyone previously or is anyone currently in the state i am (not quite panic but on the verge)? sorry for the ramblings of this tired lady, i'm cutting myself off and going to bed.... g'night
