The days are numbered.

So I'm still settling in. Charlotte is getting marginally smaller, and so is Bob's house. It's so hard to merge to adult lives into once space. Especially two adult lives of two very sentimental people. We have SO much crap!

So we're getting closer to our wedding date. Today we're sitting at 9 days away. And do I have everything done? Hell no. Not even close. I still have to print/put together the guest book (a print of the lyrics of our first song), print the programs, and get the centerpieces together. Gah. A smidge overwhelming to say the least. But it'll all happen. I know it will.

At this point, we're both more excited about the honeymoon and just sitting down for 6 days. We've both been going and going so fast, that we need a breather. In Belize. And it's 10 days away!

Hello, from the far East.

Howdy peeps. So a LOT has happened in the last 2 weeks. I took my pictures and love every one of them. It was an amazing experience. If you're in Little Rock and need some fun pics taken, may I suggest Meredith Melody? She rocks. Super professional and super talented.

As you can see from my title, I am officially Charlotte's newest resident. Daddy, Bob, and I packed up and moved East. Dad and I packed on Sunday, drove to Memphis and met Bob, did a wedding food tasting on Monday, then headed to NC. We got here about 230 Tuesday morning, and let me tell you, that was one hell of a drive. Holy balls. 13 hours in a car with Bob... AND JACK (otherwise known as The Kitty). We all survived. Barely.

I'm mostly unpacked, but sweet lord, I have a lot of shit. I threw away two dumpsters full of crap, but now that I'm here, I'm throwing more away. I've been left here alone, as Bob and Dad both left yesterday morning. Daddy went back to Hometown, Bob went to work. It's just me and Jack. Alone. Together. Yikes.

On tap for today, join a gym, continue unpacking, and find the liquor store. This girl needs wine.

To makeup or not?

If you were a reader of my other blog, you may remember that I don't wear makeup. I mean, I'll wear a brush of loose powder and some Blistex. And that's it. I probably need more, but I just don't have time for all that nonsense. The last time I wore a full face of makeup was 7th grade, right after it was "allowed" by school. And my Mama.

So for the wedding, I had a hair and make up trial at the salon in Memphis. I explained to chickie that I don't wear makeup on a normal basis, so please just put don't make it thick or obvious. Yeah. Bob barely recognized me. That bad. Somehow she completely changed the shape of my face with makeup. And I'm not exaggerating. I looked like a fat faced streetwalker. Straight up. No thanks.

In preparation for my "photo session" tomorrow, I hit up Sephora. And did a run through tonight. The result? I look like me. With a smidge of makeup and flawless skin.

I'm super crazy excited about my pictures tomorrow. I can't wait to see Bob's face when he sees them. I just love that boy so much and I'm so excited to do something this special for him!
