Journey to Jager: Crafternoon!

Typing this with a bum arm. I got my first flu shot! Work was offering them for free at our annual Health & Benefits Fair so I figured why not. I was more easily persuaded because of the promise of raffle tickets and ice cream...

[I will flu shot for food.... ]

Anyway, hoping that it helps to boost the immune system and prevent any extra illnesses given the lack o sleep and extra stress these next few months cuz...

WE HAVE 85 DAYS TO GO!

Holy Moses. Our invitations have officially dropped thanks to my lovely bride tribe and sidekick Chelsea, Matt's cousin. We crafternoon-ed on Sunday, fully equipped with wedding invitation necessities and sustenance (mimosas, cheese board, flatbread, cookies.... )

[Crafting made easy]

We got them done in no time flat with Rocky Horror Picture Show as our backdrop. Hopefully wedding day goes a little more smoothly for us than it did for Brad and Janet. It's all feeling very real now. This is happening, people! I am a giant nerd but really excited to check my mail box after work. Expecting the first wave o RSVPs to come a'sailing in.

Crafternoon with all the goodies and a delicious spread of treats on Halloween (with pizza for lunch and dinner), made for a very bloaty Bethie.

I forced myself to get back on track with good workouts and a slightly better diet (I didn't say no to that half of a peanut butter cupcake Matt brought home. I regret nothing). However, this means that my entire body, including my numb arm, is a little angry with me right now. Some self care is in order tonight. Book reading, maybe some bridal beauty, and a bit o shopping! Have another shower on Sunday, thrown by my beautiful bridesmaids:) Bring on the weekend!

Countdown to the Big Day: 85! Was talking to a gal at barre class who is getting married in two weeks and sharing with her how everything has finally hit me. With work, the wedding, and volunteer obligations, I feel slightly zombie-ish. It all hit out of nowhere. She said that the same feeling hit her at the three month mark, right where I am right now. I totally get it now. And with the holiday season, things are really gonna start flying!

Sleep: Admittedly not great. Been having a hard time getting to bed on time, but still going to early morning workouts. Need to get this in check so I don't get sick. I'm burning the stick at both ends for sure. In other news though, what happened to the wedding nightmares!? Haven't had one in a while. Though now that I think about it... maybe it's the lack of sleep...

Best Moment of the Week: Crafternoon! So so relieved and excited to have those invites out. It was also really nice to be able to hang out with some o my gals :)

Currently on my Mind: Lots of things. Feeling a little jumbled right now in terms of things that need to get done. Feels like there are a lot of little things, but nothing is really written down. I am currently fixating on: figuring out and ordering my bridal accessories, getting an outfit together for Sunday, thrifting for some mirrors... OH! And RSVPs! :)

What I am Looking Forward to this Week: The shower. Can't wait!

Emotions: A little sleepy and sore, but really happy.
