What a week!!

What a week it has been!! We've been in MS since Sunday -- we had a TON to finalize this week for the wedding. I think I understand why people hire wedding coordinators. Aaah for us non-rich folk....we get the luxury of doing it ourselves. Maybe in the end it will make me appreciate it more...lol.

Today is our last day....and we get on the road in the AM to head back north. And all I can say is YAYYYY! I love to come to MS and all but there NO PLACE like your own bed, your own living room, your own everything. I miss my stuff. I don't miss the schoolwork I will be catching up on ALL DAY Sunday but hey I guess you can't have it all right. We ended our day today with engagement photos with the most fabulous photographer in the world. Check her out here. No one told me how hard it would be to act intimate with David with a huge ole lense staring you down...haha! She said she thought the photos would be fabulous (well she is taking them I hope they are!). We'll email those close to us the link once she has doctored and uploaded them for us. Honestly....we really could not have picked a better photographer if we had tried. She is wonderful -- if you're ever planning a wedding in the MS/LA/AL area (or anywhere....she WILL travel) ...look her up. And she is not overly priced. We are paying 3300 -- this includes engagement photos, 6 hours of photography on our wedding day, a graphi (italian made) coffee table book with 60 of our fav photos and a 16x20 canvas print framed AND all of the copyrights to both our wedding and engagement photos. Not bad at all I'd say. We looked at some photographers that started at 5K. While I was not willing to skimp on a photographer since in the end all we will have are memories and photos....I also didn't want to spend two arms and legs to have good photography. I will reiterate again....it was TRULY a perfect fit for us.

Anyhow, we're headed home tomorrow.....much less money in our pockets but we had a great week. Back to the grind for us....bleeeegh!

It's official!

We're going to St. Lucia for our honeymoon!! Yayyyy!!!

Not that there was ever doubt that we were going, but today I purchased the airline tickets for our 7 days in paradise. We absolutely cannot wait....for both wedding and honeymoon.

School is just nuts. I have always like Math -- call me crazy -- but I'm in this Calculus II class now and my professor......argh...my professor. Before I say something unprofessional I'll just say again.....ARRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!! Music class is a breeze and Management Info Systems isn't too bad (albeit VERY time consuming!!).....which is another reason I'll be glad for August to get here. My leave of absence starts then so I can concentrate solely on school for the next year. I don't know how anyone is a full time student and works full time....I really do think I'd shoot myself if I had to do this long term. I just am trying to keep everything in perspective....it's a means to an end....but it sure feels lousy in the short term. I need SLEEP!!
