We have had so much going on lately it’s hard to keep it all straight in my head. Like yesterday, all day I thought it was Thursday even though it was only Wednesday. It’s a good thing we do yoga on Wednesday nights because it really helps me clear my mind and open some space, it also breaks up the work week which I love. We have now been working out for 9 weeks straight, 6 days a week. I am so so proud of us. I just started my 2^nd tier of my brother-in-laws 3 tier workout plan he put me on. He is pushing us hard but the energy and results are well worth it. I love being so committed and watching us better ourselves as we cheer each other on along the way. We are so exhausted by the time we crawl into bed each night it is ridiculous. I can only explain it as that feeling when you were a kid and you would ride your bike all day in the fresh air, you biked so much that by the time you came in for dinner everything hurt so bad you almost felt like crying. It’s like that but without the innocence that came along with those rides (grown up world is a very different ride) but none the less both very much the same.

I booked my wedding make-up with Tiffany. Befabulousbytiffany and she is just that ….Fabulous. She is one of the most creative and artistic make-up artists I have had the pleasure of playing with. She is flying into Maui that morning from Oahu to get the majority of my bridesmaids and my mom ready. I was so happy that she said yes, it really lifted a weight off my shoulders. I know my stress level will be nonexistent now that I know she will be there to get me ready. I also have my extremely talented & edgy sister-in-law Ashley doing my hair that day. I can’t wait to let her work her magic. With the two of them getting me ready I know I will have nothing to worry about (besides of course Colt fainting from my extreme beauty when he finally gets to see me, just kidding, well kind of).

Some of the big things on my bride “to do” list that I need to get are my veil (My best friend Kristen wanted to try to make it for me, she really is the sweetest) I can’t wait to see the final product coming up here in April. I also need to find wedding shoes and anything I might want to wear for jewelry. I think I want to go really simple on the accessories with the “less is more” mentality. I am hoping to find my shoes and “extras” while shopping in Vegas. I really wanted to get Bella’s shoes from Breaking Dawn and I even found them online. I pretty much convinced myself I was going to get them until I texted Anu and Ashley and asked if $1300 was too much. They both brought me back to reality fairly quickly. Thank god for good girlfriends, I am sure I will find another pair that I love (sigh).

Colt still needs to have his groomsman order their ties, undershirts and belts. We are waiting for Men’s Warehouse to open on Oahu since they have the same color swatches to match our bridesmaid’s dresses. He is pretty much set otherwise besides his ring. We need to find him a wedding band. He is set on the old fashion band like the one his Dad use to wear. I like that. We will find something perfect for him. I can’t wait to get a tan line on that ring finger of his, hahaha.

All of my bridesmaids and maid of honor have been fitted and have ordered their dresses. I am so happy that they are all finally done! Their dresses are gorgeous and they are so flattering. I still can’t believe that the dresses are for my wedding, it’s so surreal every time I think about it. I also have the flower girls outfits being made. It’s funny because as I was typing this Tammy called me to tell me she found the material and will have a sample for me by the 9^th. I can’t wait to see them; they are going to be to die for. I decided to wait to order there tops and shoes until closer to the wedding since they will be fairly easy to get and the girls are growing like weeds. I don’t want anyone growing out of anything before August.

We just signed our second contract from the Grand! I can’t believe we are already cutting check number TWO! We continue to surprise ourselves with how much we are saving; we are only $874.00 away from our half way mark. Our color meter was seriously the best idea for us to keep our eye on the prize. Now that the second contract is signed we need to find the time to set up a meeting with MaryAnn to button up all of the food, cake, musician, pastor etc., she has been so busy with groups in house that we had to reschedule our last meeting and cake tasting. We are anxious to get things done! Especially now that we only have 6 months to go! I think time is escaping us, is it really March 1^st?
