I'm feeling pretty good at the 5 month mark... we clearly have a lot to do but I'm happy with where we are [especially now that I have my wedding dress]... and as I keep saying, we're ALREADY married so this really is just a celebration... it will be fine [unless DJ gets drunk and can't keep his eyes open during pictures, I swear I will KILL YOU DANNY].

Also, a lot of friends have booked their rooms at B&Bs and a few have purchased airfare so I'm feeling great about that, the early bird catches the deal!

We don't have major plans for the next three weekends so I'm hoping we can knock a few things off the list then...

Get excited for more updates as we go!
