Where have all the Zzzz's gone?

Well, it's 1:37AM and I can't sleep. I NEED SLEEP! Tomorrow is engagements and now I'm going to have tired puffy eyes all because my body is tweakin' and wont relax. *Shivers* It's one of those nights where it feels like little bugs are crawling all over me...and no I'm not taking any drugs. I'm just itchy everywhere. Hmm, I blame it on my sunburn. Lesson learned. From now on, even if I'm only at the pool for 20 minutes, I shall wear sunblock! OK, now can I please go to bed?

15 minutes pass....

20 minutes pass.........

How can I not be tired?! I woke up early today. Matt and I ran so many errands, all of which were 100% successful by the way! I'm so excited! We met with the florist and FINALLY I think we're on the same page. Now I feel confident that she'll make our wedding not only beautiful but exactly what we were looking for. Then we went and met with my school counselor. More good news! I found out I'm closer to finishing up than I thought. Not graduating or anything (darnit) but just to a point where we can transfer to a new school if we wanted to move to...oh say, California =) Yeah. I want to be in California. And you know, the counselor man asked me the most odd question today. He asked me WHY do I want to move to California? Hahaha! Ha..ha...is that question only funny to me? Well, let's see, where should I start? How about the plain and simple fact that in California it doesn't snow in May! Look at this picture....

That's why! And....

That's why!!

It just gorgeous! The vegetation, the architecture, even the people...if your in the right area. These pictures are from Santa Barbara, which is where we really want to live. It's just a matter of months and then it might become a reality for us. YAY! Oh, but I got distracted rambling about my counselor, he was an odd man...but after all that business we went and got our marriage license!! Aaaaah! It's all starting to feel so real! 11 days left! Only 11 people! That's 10 days plus 1, or 1 week and 3 days. But more simply put...11. Wow.

This is our last real week of preparations because next week all the family starts flying in. EXCITEMENT!! *sighs*

Alright, well all of this has finally made me somewhat tired. Maybe somebody is finally sending some Zzzz's my way.

Awe, BrideZilla...

OK, story time!

...It all started at our very first meeting with our Florist. I told her our colors were blue and yellow but since I don't like any blue flowers I JUST wanted sunflowers and other yellow flowers with blue ribbon...she disagreed I guess. After about 3 or 4 back and forth emails of her sending me pictures of what I hated I finally sent her 10 pictures of perfect examples of what I was looking for. Then, a week passed. 2 weeks passed...a month and a half and 5 more emails (from me with no reply) later...we finally called our wedding coordinator to see what the heck was up. She assured us our florist would contact us soon so we could finally get everything sorted out. An hour later I get a short email with a quick scribbled drawing of a countryish bouquet filled with twine and all sorts of flowers including more BLUE flowers. I had told her like 8 billion times: I DO NOT LIKE BLUE FLOWERS!!! Grrr. Anyway, more drama.
Communication stops between the florist and I, she must not understand me or something...so we set it up so that I tell my wedding coordinator what I want and she deals with the florist. That's great and dandy until the day of bridals when our coordinator is out of town and Lora (the florist) gives us the exact bouquet I told her several times I did not like. I guess she finally understood the no blue flowers though because this time they were blueish/purple. I'll give her credit, it was pretty...just not what I paid and asked for...
Needless to say we're all meeting together on Monday to discuss this communication problem. Matt called for me and told them "We're not going to cross our fingers anymore and hope for the best" :) Sometimes they just twist your arm until you have to become BrideZilla.

The disappointing bridal bouquet...

Yeah, would you want that to be your grand bouquet? I didn't think so.
