Job Update & Stationary Stress

Good news on the job front! I had two interviews last week! :) One was at Victoria's Secret, the other was at Macy's, and both were for Sales Associate positions. Not exactly the glamorous NYC publishing job I've hoped for (and applied for constantly), but it will do for now. And at least it's not in food service... After 4 1/2 years, I'm definitely over that line of work. Thankfully, I think I rocked both interviews, so I'm hoping for a phone call soon! Please keep me in your prayers; I definitely need to find work ASAP.

In wedding news, I am finally starting to feel some stress... Nothing major, just the occasional freakout. No nerves, thankfully, but all the last-minute details are definitely getting to me a little. We FINALLY finished assembling the escort cards tonight, which is a major accomplishment; they took us over a week to finish! The next big projects looming ominously ahead are programs and the infamous seating chart. After much debate (and stress on my part), we've decided to make the programs ourselves - or rather, I will be making the programs myself. I was terrified at first since I haven't the slightest clue how to make a wedding program without using Microsoft Publisher, but I'm figuring it out on Word. In fact, I should have a draft ready by tomorrow, so yay! (And before you think it, they don't look thrown together; they look almost professional. I think.) Check out the program design I found (and almost purchased) on Etsy that is now serving as my inspiration. I'm hoping the seating chart won't be quite as much of a struggle as I've always heard it is... We're not seating guests individually (thank goodness), so that should help speed things along.

18 DAYS!! (Almost 2 weeks... OMG!)

20 Days!

We are really getting close now. The wedding is less than 3 weeks away!! How crazy is that?? Thankfully, I'm also getting a lot done. Here's what we've been up to:

• I FINALLY bought my shoes!
• I also bought my jewelry :)
• I've narrowed my hairstyles down to two possibilities
• We're making progress on the escort cards
• Table cards and bridesmaid gifts are in!
• Favors/containers are being shipped
• Mom is working on welcome bags
• I'm filling up my schedule with appointments right before the wedding

Next up on the agenda:

• Programs
• Seating chart
• Makeup
• Setting more pre-wedding appointments

Also, plans are under way for my bridal shower and bachelorette party, both of which are next weekend! I'm very excited for both. :)

That's all for now! I'm still not feeling as much stress as I feel like I should, and I hope that doesn't change anytime soon...

So excited!!

Love,

C & A
