One Month


This next weekend will be my second bridal shower (I’ll blog about the first one soon, too!) and my bachelorette party was a couple days ago, and so now that they’re over, I feel crazy excited/anxious! I feel sad that these events I looked forward to are now done and overwhelmed with all the nice things my friends and family did for me over the past couple of weekends. Above all, right now I feel overwhelmed with gratitude toward everyone who came to my shower and/or bachelorette party, gave me a gift (even if we’re talking peen straws or casserole dishes), said something nice to me, paid for my fancy bachelorette drinks/hotel suite/gifts, and just generally made me feel so special this month. I’m so overwhelmed with gratitude that the phrase “I can’t thank you enough” comes to mind. No, seriously—I can’t thank these people enough. I have the best family and friends!

 I’m anxious about making sure everybody who comes to the wedding has a good time. I’m so worried I won’t be able to say hello to everyone in attendance, or a friend who doesn’t know anyone else there will be miserable - how can I spend quality time with 250 people? It's sad but I just don't think I'll be able to. I so appreciate everyone who is taking time to drive to Yakima for our wedding - spending their hard earned money and free time to help us celebrate. I deeply appreciate everything our friends and family are doing! And I am so very excited to see everyone flying and driving to Yakima, just for us!

In the past few weeks, people have been asking me if I’m nervous about the wedding. Nervous? No, the only thing I am nervous about is getting all of my to-dos done. It’s crunch time! I'm 100% excited to marry Nate, that much I am calm about.

I'm wrapping up work here in Seattle so that I can move home for the 3 weeks before the wedding. I am really looking forward to lots of time to accomplish wedding tasks, workout with my sisters (here I come pilates!), and catch up on sleep so I can be as relaxed as possible when the big day arrives.

When did you start feeling stressed? Was the last month before your wedding busy and sometimes overwhelming too?
