Turning 26 and Getting Things Done

Well for me, a new year brings a new birthday. Last week I turned 26. Wow..where has the time gone? I feel like I was just in high school.  I was worried about going "over the hump" and getting closer to 30 but Dave did such an amazing job! 

My mom came down Wednesday (12th) so we could spend my birthday doing wedding stuff. (more on that later).  Dave fixed dinner that night and told me he wanted to give me his gift.  My mom gave me a card from my grandparents then i had to go in search for Dave's card. I finally found it and inside it said I had to be somewhere that Friday morning. There was a little hint.. I was spending the day at the spa!  He'd booked me a full day spa treatment!!

Thursday, mom and I ran errands and that night Dave said he'd made dinner reservations at this new place for us. I asked if anyone was going and he said it would just be the three of us.  We walked in the restaurant, I told the hostess Non-smoking for 3... she said okay.  Dave then walked around me where I was standing in a hallway door frame and pulled me backwards and spun me around into a private room where a bunch of my friends were waiting! I've never had a surprise party and boy was I surprised! I had no idea.  He's such an amazing fiance to pull this off!  Then on Friday, we had people over to the apartment for a party and played Kinect and other games.  It was a great day!!




Back to wedding stuff..... When mom came into town we got a lot of things done. We started the day at Michaels getting some of the things we needed.  We then dropped my dress off at David's for alterations... Well not really alterations but getting my bustle done. My dress fits perfectly and I don't need any alterations.  So it's just the bustle and fixing the beading.  We then went by the store to order koozies for favors.  We told the graphic designer what Dave and I wanted.  Now I'm just waiting for the design.   We then headed downtown and got my Solemate covers which are supposed to help my heals from digging in the ground.

So we are getting there... 122 Days to go!!
