The countdown is now at 11 days. EEEK.

I keep thinking that I'll have time for a really meaningful blog entry... but I've been so preoccupied lately that I just can't focus. :( I'll do my best to post quick updates, though, just so you all know what I'm up to in this last week before the wedding.

I have to apologize, as well, to all of you for not keeping up with everyone's blogs/journals. My time online has been limited to wedding tasks lately. I promise I'll catch up with all of you after I go and get hitched. :D

I do have a quick picture to share before I go... I had my final dress fitting a few weeks back and one of my bridesmaids snapped this pic of the back of my dress... (Rob, you are OFF LIMITS!)

Work has started to calm down (YES)... we even hired an assistant, finally! It's been a challenging week training her (she is fresh out of college) and keeping up with my own workload but the countdown to the wedding keeps me going... 17 days, guys. 17 DAYS.

To distract me from the craziness of wedding planning, I have become completely obsessed with So You Think You Can Dance. I don't normally follow TV over the summer but somehow, it's become appointment TV for me (and Rob too!). I watched casually during the first 2 seasons, I missed the 3rd season but caught the whole thing during a marathon on MTV, now I'm finally watching the original run. And it's been so fun! I pretty much love the entire Top 8 right now, though I do love Katee just a tad bit more than all the others. I'm usually a very lazy fan when it comes to these reality competitions but Katee has totally turned me around. Sadly (for me, not for her), her number was busy during the times I called in tonight so hopefully she'll be safe tomorrow (*crosses fingers*). I am so nervous... it's ridiculous.

Ok, it's 12:50am and I'm not even sure why I'm still awake... time to head to bed. One more day until Friday! WOOT.

I'm here... somewhere.

My Dad's birthday party last weekend was a hit. He was totally surprised -- I thought he was going to start crying from the emotion of it all! That's pretty amazing considering that he is NOT the type of person to outwardly show what he's feeling. Awww.

And then this past weekend was my AWESOME bachelorette weekend. It was definitely what I needed after a terrible Friday at work. I really have the best girlfriends ever -- they completely surprised me with the activities and events they had planned throughout the weekend. I am so lucky to have such thoughtful friends in my life. *sniff*

Rob's going to be in Vegas this weekend for his bachelor party so I'll be sure to take time out of working on wedding tasks to share some pics of these recent events with all of you. ;)

OMG. I haven't blogged in over a week. Life has been moving so quickly that I can barely keep up. It's exhausting.

So in my last entry I mentioned that I had my bridal shower last weekend... it was awesome! I feel so blessed to have such amazing friends and family. Not to mention the most wonderful Maid of Honor (aka my cousin Riz) ever.

Look at what she put together for ME!

The FOOD! All prepared by my cousin and my aunt. I did help a little with the grocery shopping. :)

The FAVORS! These consisted of chocolate lollipops in the shape of daisies and a variety of truffles. YUM-O! My cousin also made these candies from scratch. She is crazy.

GIFTS! It was a loosely themed "recipe" shower where the ladies were supposed to bring a recipe to correspond with their gift. I received lots of fun kitchen gadgets... I am hoping to put them to good use. EEEK. I am definitely not very good in the kitchen. :/

My cousin and me at the end of the day.

And yes, I realize that was the third time I wore that blue dress in the month of June. HEE! :D

Fast forward to this weekend. I had 4 whole days off from work. So awesome. You don't even know. My best friend Carmen came to visit and rather than go out and do 4th of July activities, I held her hostage in my apartment and put her to work stamping wedding favor tags, adhering labels, and gluing the menus. BWAHAHAHA. It was so productive!

Now I'm looking ahead to this coming weekend where I'll be in LA AGAIN for my dad's big 60th surprise birthday party. PHEW. So much stuff going on right now! And no, I will not be wearing that blue dress again. ;)
