Hair & Make-Up Trial

Okay, it's a quick post because I'm going to my Gma's b-day party. But heres 2 pics of how my hair and make up trial went last night. I was hoping it would hold for my bridals this morning, and IT DID!!! I was nervous to take my pics, but it went WELL! I'm excited to see the teasers he's supposed to e-mail me later. I do have 1 on my camera, but the camera's in my car so I'll post it later.

15 days and counting...

Am I supposed to be this calm so close to the wedding? Yes-I'm anxious, yes-I'm struggling to get everything done, no-i'm not freaking out. I kinda want to feel the wedding stress just so I can totally understand why some brides act the way they do. I'm flying pretty right now, but I'm not sure I like it. I'm not sure if it's because our engagment was WAY too long! :) but I can't just acccept that it's coming up. I can't make my brain realize that, I'm getting married to the man I love in just around 2 weeks and I've been planning this day for a LONG TIME!!!! Hopefully soon.
I've been knocking things off my list left and right lately! Let's see if I can come remotely close to explaining everything I've done so far....well in just the passed couple of days.

• Went to the dentist
• Designed, copied, and folded my programs.
• Added Ribbon to my white bird cage that my Mom insisted I had for the cards.
• Started and finished both pomander flower balls for the Flowergirls, since we can't do flower petals at the Church.
• Called to make sure all the guys were fitted at Men's Wearhouse.
• Bought my white zip-up for my "Mrs. Perez est. 7.11.09" but I'm not sure when or how I'm gonna go about finishing that.
• Made Rehearsal Dinner arrangements, only to decide we aren't having one.
• Switched the rehearsal to Friday so all of the bridal party will be able to make it.
• Ordered the flowers(the only real ones) for the centerpieces. Picking them up the day before the wedding because we are doing them ourself! lol
• Bought my wedding shoes.
• Made hair and make up trial-which is today by the way.
• Bought the last of the vases that we are gonna need for the centerpieces.
• Bought another guestbook, it was mentioned that I should have one at the church and one at the reception. We thought this one looked to plain, so we took off the white ribbon and added some green and black ribbon to match the wedding. Looks good!
• Folded and dropped off the boxes at my Sis-in-laws work because her Mom is making the cookies to go inside for the favors.
• Gave Edgar's Dad a check for $300 for the alcohol, he's paying the rest.
• Paid off the hall for the reception!!!!!

Sad...

My Mom passed away. The worst part, I wasn't at home when it happened.

More Pics...

Some table decorations.

A pic of me and my nephew (aka the love of my life) at his graduation. He's a giant I know. :) Oh yea, I don't know why I'm sideways again. :)

A pic of Edgar, cousin Patrick, Cousin Jonathan (aka JPO), my brother in law Paul, and my bro Ruben Jr. (aka Chotey). Michael in the background. I realize my BIL is making a funny face, I don't really want to explain it, but you can imagine what happens when boys are together and their quite comfortable with each other.

These are a pic of thanks you cards I gave at my work shower. I'm excited (lol not really) to begin writing thank yous from this other shower.

playing catch-up with 32 days left....

Okay. So to explain my absence. My Mom is very sick. Actually, sick isn't the right word. She's stable but the dr's say there's nothing more they can do and they aren't giving her much longer to live. She will be coming home soon and we have already began the massive clean up around the house to get ready. I've come to terms that these are going to be some very hard days, but I would give anything to be able to have my Mom still be in my life. I'm going to enjoy every minute with her, even if it is going to be hard. I'm just excited to have her back home after over a month.

I had my shower this passed weekend, on Sunday, and it was great. We also had my Nephew's graduation party on Friday and that was fun too. I can't believe he's out. Anyway, my Grandma gave me lingerie, and I was embarassed!!! She had hid it in a towel, so when I pulled it out it fell out.

I'm.literally.exhausted! I can't even think anymore and I just want to fall down and pass out! I did my first day of 'the shred' and even though it's level 1, don't let it fool you. I didn't stop, or give up, but it was hard. I've heard a lot of girls say they have seen drastic results, so we'll see how it goes for me.
I got my dress fixed. My Sister in law's mom did it for me. My wallet thanked her! I still need to find shoes, uhm figure how I want my hair. There are only a few things I need to complete before my wedding comes. The most exciting is that we're going to get our marriage license on Thursday. I'm anxious!!! I'm also doing summer school, and I get out at 1 now.
Here are some pictures because I know you're just super anxious....

I don't know why this is sideways.My Kitchenaid mixer from my Mom!
