sunday evening recap

finished some of the invitations. this one is heading out to mr. and mrs. preston reese (aka our apartment that preston currently lives at by himself while i live at my parents) we accidentally forgot a few inserts in two of the invitations. whooops.

presty got home from the jimmy concert in vegas today. he came home to a countdown chain that just happened to match his shirt. can't you tell how excited he was?! there are 26 little chains, and each chain says why i'm excited to marry him. i know i'm a cheeseball.

sneak peak

here's one of my favorite pictures from our engagement sessions (we got them back this morning!)
i love this one, but preston and my mom voted against it for our announcements...so i decided to share it here instead.
i looked through all of our pictures today probably around 100 times. i was nervous to get them back because i wasn't sure how they turned out. we had a crazy time getting up to the location, getting some props, and assembling outfits. of course, we were running late and a few things changed, but i still love how they turned out! we kinda look like siblings don't ya think?!
today i also met with the caterer and went to a wedding reception. we talked about all the ice cream and italian sodas with the caterer. then preston and i sang celion dion on our way to the reception (he knew the words better than i did. he says his mom taught him!) that is one of the many things i love preston. and he is just so darn cute! look at that picture and try and tell me otherwise. he doesn't like his face in it, but i think it's absolutely adorable.
in case you couldn't tell, i just adore my fiance.
30 more days people!!!

on the fridge

the fridge at my parents house shows what a crazy mess our lives have been lately......

the hanson home is going a little crazy with graduations, endless wedding stuff, siblings moving in and out, and krissy's prom. the next few weeks are sure to bring more madness.



we also picked up the invitations. there's this huge, daunting box of invitations sitting in the kitchen, waiting to be stuffed. the grandma's got a little preview of the invites, so i decided to show a very small preview here too! my invitation lady did a fabulous job. i also went to joanna's with my mom to buy the ribbon and lace to go around the invitations. they look heavenly. bet you can't wait to get your invitation now:)

we are barely sane after compiling all the addresses, moving preston into the apartment, going to bridal showers, easter parties, and jetting to colorado for a quick trip for a cousin's farewell. i have had a few little melt downs that result in going to yogurtland

(they have this amazing coconut chocolate flavor. you really need to try it. you're not living until you do)

i'm not quite sure what happened to me not eating sugar?!?

i also had my first official dress fitting with melissa on saturday, and that was motivation to kick my butt into gear. no more yogurtland here. but really, the dress is only pieces of fabric right now, but i still love it. she experimented with draping the fabric a few different ways for the skirt, and we picked the way we liked best. it really is a creative process.

we're also taking our engagements at the end of the week. and naturally, i'm breaking out because of the stress. perfect timing huh? anyway, here's us practicing for our engagements.

besides all of that, it's nice to be out of school.
and to be completely in love.
life is good.
