I Suck.

I don't know what the 

I was thinking when I committed to a 45 day challenge.  Seriously?  "Oh sure, I will be that girl that can work a full time job, plan a wedding with almost 300 guests, try to maintain my relationships with my man, friends and family, move apartments and...oh yeah! blog EVERY day!

Seriously.  What the H, Natalie.

So you are going to get a quick "re-cap" of the last 10 days.  I use "re-cap" loosely because its going to be a list of sorts.  Don't worry, I'm an expert at making lists - this will be fun.

• I worked a lot.  That pretty much takes up the majority of time during my days.  The Tru Gathering has been awesome so far!
• Ryan and I met with Pete [our super cool pastor/officiant] and discussed wedding details.  It was great to touch base with him and to feel somewhat "normal" in this process of what we are feeling/experiencing/growing in.  Those of you who have been through the engagement process- nuff said.
• We moved all of our boxes into the apartment and started unpacking and organizing.  Guess who had the most fun with this?  [me, doi!]
• My mom and I went to the flower mart and scoped out flowers for the wedding.  So fun!  Ryan's mom will be our head florist for the wedding and I can't wait to see the creations she will make!  I also can't wait for the flower party and putting the arrangements together!
• My friend Casey came over and we had a craft night.  Meaning, I sewed a burlap banner for our wedding at the head table and she made this really cute burlap wreath for her mom for Mother's day.
• Me, Ryan and my brother took my mom to Mother's Day brunch at the Mission Viejo Country Club with my grandparents.  It was a buffet brunch with mimosas.  Score! 
• Sidenote:  As I was putting food on my plate in the buffet line, one of the staff at the country club remarked, "Wow!  Thats a LOT of food!" and then just stood there and looked at me awkwardly.  Like this   ...with his hand on his face.

and then he picked up his knife and did an awkward pose...

ok, no he didn't.  a little part of me wishes he did though so I didn't have to embellish his awkwardness.

Back to my non-dramatic response...

"Oh, really guy?" I [wish I would have] said to him.  You're going to call me out on how much food I have on my plate right now in front of ALL these people? (really, one grandma sitting at the table next to the buffet) and of course you know I am a bride trying to fit into my DRESS! (no, he didnt)  How dare you do such a thing!  PS.  You should have seen my plate in the caf when I was a collegiate volleyball player!  You would have passed out in your little white suit and died!

Actually, he probably would have.  Or he would have been really mad that me and my teammates finished off his chafing tray of scrambled eggs and potatoes and that he would have to make more because the "athletes ate it all!"  

His bad.

Ok, my brain doesn't work any more.  Happy Friday.

9 days!
