5 months to go!!

I can't believe that we are at the 5 month mark! I feel like I have been in slow motion for the past 14 months, and now the real countdown can begin! I am starting to get nervous now about making sure that I am taking care of everything. I know that I have already done so much to prepare, but that was all just kind of at my leisure and whenever I felt like it. We are getting to the point now where things have to be done at certain times. Exciting! And kind of nerve-racking at the same time :) I think that this weekend I will sit down and make a list of everything that needs to be done between now and the wedding. Making lists always makes me feel better, and I feel so accomplished when I mark things off of them! Ha.

I talked to Mary last night about the bachelorette party for a little while. I think we have finally narrowed down an approximate date, so that's good. It is so difficult for me to let go of the control over anything that has to do with the wedding (theres the type A personality again, it has reared it's head a lot during the planning process, but so far I have managed to keep it at bay, or at least hide it for the most part) But I know that mary has it all under control, and she has lots of people who are willing to help her if she wants/needs it. I got excited last night though because I think that she has something planned that I don't know about, and I do love surprises (good ones).

Lee and I went to check out a new neighborhood last night. One of his co-workers built a house not too long ago and she suggested that we consider it. Lee absolutely loved it. That made me very happy :) I have always been the one pushing us to move, but I think that he is just now starting to get excited about the prospect. I just sat there and let him talk about everything, and I smiled to myself a lot. Especially when he was considering how close it was to my parents house. My dad has already said that when we have kids he wants to retire and watch them. Nothing would make me more happy. So last night, Lee was saying something about we could just "drive down that street to take the kids to your parents house" :) I love that he talks about "our kids" and that he is just as ready to start a family as I am. That is certainly one thing that we have always been in agreement about, which is such a relief to me. It was a good night to say the least.
