Can't Reach Done without Do

So, as I've mentioned, I'm getting married this summer (read YAY!).  And as excited as I am, I am also excited to turn my long "To-Do" list into a "To-Done" list.

The last few months have been very hectic and there are definitely days where I feel the pressure.  We moved in the middle of the wedding planning, of course, but I didn't realize just how much stress that could create.  But evidently, its important to be able to find address books and wedding planning etiquette books and all sorts of STUFF that accumulates when doing things yourself.  In the last few months, I have acquired, three wedding related books, a flower book, a paper cutter, a hole puncher, a corner clipper, a ton of card stock, 200 envelopes, 150 stamps, 150 postcard stamps, and the list goes on and on and on.

But, on the bright side, and the less frantic sounding side, this is everything that has been accomplished:

Invitations custom made (by moi)
Invitations printed
Middle page of invitations reprinted (oops!)
Invitations cut and corners clipped
Invitations assembled
"Learned" calligraphy (at least well enough to fake)
Envelopes addressed
Invites mailed
First thank you mailed for shower gift
Lost bridesmaid/Got new bridesmaid
Cake booked
Bridesmaid gifts bought

Not to mention the fact that we painted, moved and settled into our amazing house.

We've had a lot of great things happen in the last few months and I'm truly grateful for the run of good luck that we've had.  Dan is being weaned off of his medicine, thank God and it truly is a blessing.  We still don't know what/if any the long term implications will be of his stomach condition over the last year and a half or all the medicines that he has had to take ... but for now, we are content with health.  Health, as I/we learned in the last year and a half, is something that you don't fully appreciate until its gone. But, Dan and I are looking forward to enjoying dinner at our wedding with minimal complications.  :)

Life is good.  Sometimes frustrating, sometimes difficult, but overall, we have a lot more blessings than we think we do.  You just have to take a little time to count.
