Bridal shower #2

Whooo hooo 35 days left before becoming an official MRS!

Since the invites were sent out at the beginning of this month, we have gotten so many back already! I can't believe how fast the engagement has flown by! Seems like just yesterday, not a year ago!

So this is really just a quick update blog. I had my 2nd bridal shower here in VA with all my friends and local family. Can I just say that I definitely have the most amazing friends out there?
My lovely ladies are just truly the best! You already know from my last bridal shower that I think I have the most super fabulous maid-of honor ever!

Of course you know I have a ton of pictures that I promise to put up really soon!!

Happy Mother's Day !!

Today is a day about the most important job title that I have : a Mommy ♥

I got this amazing pandora bracelet from Natalia (with Greg's help of course!) & my first charm to put on it. A breast cancer awareness charm... Sterling silver with pink diamonds. Isn't is the best? I have two family members that have fought and is currently fighting this horrible disease and this charm reminds me to constantly fight for them by helping promote awareness and giving my support in any way that I can...Even if it's buying something that gives part of its proceeds to the Susan G. Komen fund.

Today I spent the day with my family. What a perfect ending to Mother's Day.

Less than 60 days !!!!

Can you guys believe it that my "little" girl turned 4 last week? I still find it hard to believe.
I can remember every single detail of her arrival still..... I know I know, you've heard it before - but i'll say it again ..."like it was yesterday" :) She is my most important beautiful peice of life. ♥

I am pretty sure that I have been more busy with wedding stuff right now, than I will be two weeks before the wedding. Okay .. maybe not, don't quote me on that just yet!
Just so you know what I have been up to in the last week .. I'll give you a sneak peek:

• Finalized the small details on honeymoon - Recieved passports (YAY!) , plane tickets bought. I know .. Cutting it pretty close on the plane tickets! Honestly, I just didn't know if I wanted to fly out of Baltimore or DC, or Richmond. The winning choice was B-More!
• Bought our wedding bands!! Again I was cutting it close. The excuse for this one was just pure procrastination. I wanted Greg to be here to go with me, but with Haiti and then his underway now.. I had to go solo :(
• Finalizing times and pick up's with the limo service in Maryland.
• Final dress alteration appointment at David's. I am most excited to say that when I tried my dress on .. It fit perfect! No rolling down the aisle at this wedding!
• Invitations went out!! I thought that one needed a little bolding. I mean c'mon! My mom calls me and lets me know every time she gets an RSVP (yes, she has already gotten some back!) Thanks Mom ;)
• Bridal shower will be in a week! I went with my sister when she put in the order for the cake. I can't wait to see it in person.. The picture looked amazing!
• I got to preorder my Sex & the city 2 movie tickets!!! Okay, so that isn't really wedding stuff, but you KNOW how I am about Sex & the city :-]

So that was my review since my last update. It makes me tired just thinking about everything that has gone on in the last two weeks! Then again, we are now in the 50's for our countdown ... 52 to be exact!

Couple shots ...

Thought i'd shoot ya a picture or two from the shower. I love my Grandmom.. She's the best!

I have the *BEST* Maid of Honor & sister ever ♥

Shower goodies

So now that I have a couple of days to gather myself back together - I can spill all about my Maryland bridal shower! To pretty much sum it up in three words - "Family, Fun, Presents!"
It was so good to have Greg's family from up there meet my fam. I would even go out on a limb and say that everyone got along :) Of course you know that we played super embarrassing games all about Greg & I and even really cute games about who knew about us the most. Guess who won that one? None other than my maid of honor - My amazing sister ♥

Greg left for two weeks to go underway today. He should be home sometime around the beginning/middle of May. Natalia and I are sailorless for a couple of weeks.. We have lots of shopping we can do in the meantime ;)

Where are we in the countdown?! I am getting lost in the little bit of days that we have left! Oh yeah, 67 more days! Eeeeeek! My final dress fitting is next Friday. Hopefully I haven't eaten too many sweets between this one and my last one!

Another exciting event is happening this weekend and next week. This weekend is Natalia's 4th birthday party, and Thursday is her birthday! I can't believe my baby is 4 :( Preschool is next year and then she'll be in college and getting married herself.... Okay, so I might be jumping many many years, but I am pretty much just pointing out that it feels like yesterday when I had her. ♥

Bridal Shower #1

Getting nice & settled in :)

Will tell ya all about it soon!

Counting down ...

We have already passed the 90 day countdown :) Our next milestone will be 60 days, which we will hit in 17 days!!(Thanks knot.com for reminding me we are at 77days ;))
Invitations are done, programs are already designed and we were just waiting on a final approval on the draft before they hit the press! They should be done this week... I think. You'd have to double check with my wedding planner, errrmm, Mom!! ♥ Oh, I have a major exciting event this coming weekend that definitely means a wedding is not far away.. My bridal shower!!! :)
This is shower #1 which will be up in Maryland, thrown by my Aunts up there. I am so excited to go up and hang out with all my lovely female family members of mine & Greg's family.
Bridal shower #2 will be in May with my VA family and super fabulous friends.

Ever since Greg's been home from Haiti, I have totally slacked on my gym workout routine. I will start back soon.. Promise!

I can't believe my baby turns 4 in less than 3 weeks. Has it been that long already? Everything at this stage is ALL about Micky Mouse- everything! Oh, and she is most definitely her mother's child. Ask her if she wants to go to the store and she will say, "Can we go to the mall mommy?"
Can she get anymore perfect than she already is? I doubt it!
I always said I would remember everything about her being a baby, but ask me when she first started eating baby food ... I'd have to run to her baby book. Gosh, I love that little girl more than life. She is amazing ♥

Okay, so I have to talk about the upcoming Sex & the City 2 movie release! I can't wait! May 28th at midnight .. You know where me & my girls will be :) I said I didn't want to read any spoilers or watch any trailers but Desiree put one on, and those who know me at all, know that I couldn't turn away from watching.. Thanks Desiree.. what a best friend ;)

Signing off for now,

Mrs. W (I'm trying out my future new initial!)
