11 days...

Wow! Really? Only 11 days? YES!!! There are just a few little details that are still being worked on. The most important ones are: buy ribbon for the programs, package favors, newspaper announcement, write thank-yous, plan design for rehearsal, design wedding cake, order grooms cake. Ok wait, maybe there are more things to do than I thought. Yikes! I could still add another 10+ items to that list, but for your sanity and mine I'll stop there. IF you would like to come over next Wednesday to help prepare favors, please do. Just let me know you are coming because I'm ordering pizza. I will be sure to post pictures of the assembly line. I just hope someone else shows up besides me or it will be a lonely night. :(
On the way home from the shower Saturday night, I was trying to think of things to do to keep Chris awake while he was driving. Since the wedding was 14 days away, we each had to say 14 things we loved about the other person. I said something, then he said something, get the picture? I thought it was so funny that one of the things he loved about me is that I find it so fun to play cheezy little games like that. It worked, he stayed awake and we had fun.
Sunday afternoon we had our last counseling session with the couple at the church. Joy made homemade cookies and they were so good. Who else out there makes homemade cookies all the time? I never even think about making homemade cookies. I didn't grow up with my mom baking alot, although she did make great dinners. Well, with that being said, I am going to attempt to make homemade cookies. What kind of mom feeds her kids slice-and-bake anyway? I need to start practicing my after school snacks now so that by the time our future kids are in elementary school, I'll be a pro at this whole "homemade" thing. Please feel free to share some delicious recipes you have.
I'm off to bed. The best part about going to bed is waking up one day closer to marrying the sweetest man in the world. Night Night

ummm...i totally feed my kids slice and bake cookies. we really don't have cookies around our house very often, since my kids have a serious sweet tooth. I will make homemade chocolate chip cookies on special occasions. But I can't resist the cute pillsbury slice and bake each holiday season.

I'm the kind of mom that feeds her kids slice and bake! We did make "homemade" cookies for Santa this year. The slice and bakes are much better!

I've got some great cookie recipes that were given to me as well as some other fun desserts. Just e-mail me and I'll get them to you (in all your free time!). Can't believe it's single digits until your wedding! Can't wait!
