calendar countdown...

5 months and 27 days.
Less than 6 months until the day we say "I do." We got the headpiece, flower girl baskets, rose petals... just a few items using some coupons. It was a good time to take advantage of the deals out there. (When I say we, I refer to Mom and I, as Rob can't see any of this. )
For a smaller countdown, it's 6 days until my birthday. I tell you - Rob got this wedding right under the wire. Several years ago, I told him my goal was to be married by the time I was 40. Not in my 40th year, not on my 40th birthday. With a June wedding, he got it done with 6 months to spare. :)
We went and had our picture taken with Santa. We are both really into Christmas, which I love. We also promised eachother that next year, we will decorate the place we move to within an inch of it's life. This year, not so much. For right now, I live with a true Scrooge, who really doesn't like Christmas at all and it's so not worth it to hear his bitching and moaning not to mention how he doesn't really respect my love of Christmas - read as putting the animals and Mary into comprimising positions in my nativity manger- so I just said the heck with it and deal for this last year.
