Out with the girls the last few days. It was really good for me. I have been feeling really disconnected from everything. I just felt stressed and more of a wedding planner than a bride. This weekend it finally clicked. I am marrying the man I love in 8 days.  I will have a chance to have a wonderful long weekend with my family and friends.  I am starting to see this as a party and not a job or task.  I am starting to get excited!  Having my wedding dress safe at home makes me feel a lot better!

Today was not as long as I think it was, or maybe it was longer, but I'm not sure.  So much, too much!  My wedding dress is in limbo! Who needs a wedding dress right?!  I  am hand making everything.  Roland is helping, but he is a perfectionist, and not very crafty, but he's doing great!  We have just a few more things to do. It's hard only because I am forgetting to breathe!  Kind of a big deal actually.  Two weeks left.

 Today was a nice breather!  We started our day with ripe mango for breakfast, Roland read while I worked on a puzzle on our new kitchen table.  The cats played on their new jungle gym. It was completely perfect.

 Today's project was to dye, roll out and cut the fondant for the wedding. We made  bunches and bunches!

 The rest of the day was relaxing!  Watching  movies with my sister and our cats! Daisy was ready for a good snuggle!

 Bard  was the best heat generator!  My sister's surgery has made her  so hot that everyone else is freezing!

Muwah!

I have been so busy!  Roland and I got our marriage license today! I made 3 wreaths for our wedding and  we bought a table for $15!  just need some chairs so I don't have to do all my crafts sitting on the floor!  I can't wait till I can get back to blogging.  It's just been too busy to even sleep, literally! I have such a long list of things in my head that my subconscious is reminding me in my sleep! 

I'm so busy! Today was cupcake mania! trying out recipies for my wedding! I liked this pattern of icing best of all the ones I tried!

Sorry I haven't been able to update. All things have gone nuts since I have come home.  I haven't really been able to get over the jet lag either! Up every morning with the sun and staying up late. I haven't even cooked since I have been home!

I did take some time to walk around the neighborhood.  Spring is strarting to spread over everything.

 The dogwoods are looking spectacular!

We have a wall of whisteria growing on our pine trees out side our house.

The entire area hums with a constant buzz from huge bubble bees!

Along with the alergies. Poor Roland's nose has been loosing the  battle with pollen.

 I really am excited about being home. But the stress levels from this wedding stuff is really getting to me. Luckily we finished all the favors today.

I can see my parents huge trees from my house. It's nice to have them so close.

Today was an early start as I finally went through and cleaned up all the boxes from moving and organizing.  Roland and I moved in some furniture  and picked out Kitchen supplies from my vast collection.  I think, what I didn't choose to use will be going to good will  When I get everything together I will make a big donation! I am excited to do so.  I can't have new nice things till I get rid of the old stuff from uni days! So I have been too busy to take pictures or do any projects or even cook!  But  in the next hour or so I will head to bed and it will be great!  The cats came over to the house for a little visit today, and they seemed to handle it pretty well! We won't move them in till Vickie and I come back from dress stuff on  Thursday.
Tomorrow I will go and change my license changed to this state and  we will go look at some suits for Roland and my brother!  The other goal is to seek out a cheap table and chairs and maybe a couch!

Oh and today was the first sunny day since we left  Australia.  I was happy to see the sun again.
