Escort Cards: Finished

The escort cards are finally finished! I had decided that stapling the green tabs to the base of the names would work well, but that genius idea didn't work exactly as planned... and apparently, stapling both of your thumbs (at the same time) REALLY hurts! Patrick just laughed at me when I walked into the bedroom sucking both thumbs haha.

The tabs are actually lime green, and the foam bases are black

Besides for that little hiccup, the assembly went smoothly. I decided to push each staple into the foam base by hand, so after 220-ish staples (2 each + a few that I messed up and had to fix), my fingers are pretty sore.

My hair is now definitely blonde... no question about that! Because it's so much lighter than it had been (I hadn't dyed my hair in at least a year), I keep looking at every mirror/window when I walk by. It's a very fun change!

We get our French doors installed tomorrow. They got delivered today, so we just need the installers to show up during their scheduled time frame.

Saturday, I have both my final dress fitting (at noon) and hair trial (at 2). I think the reality that the wedding is almost here will hit me when I have the dress on with my hair blonder.

We're down to single digits, and that means the 10-day forecast shows the expected weather for the wedding weekend. I'm THRILLED to see that we're at 0% chance of rain for both Friday and Saturday at this point. The average high is 94, so we're definitely higher than average, but I'll take hot over rain for a wedding day (and outdoor rehearsal dinner) any day.

Before I go to sleep, I have to give Patrick credit for the gorgeous red roses + baby's breath he gave me. It was such a sweet thought, and the note "I can't wait to be your husband," topped it off. He's amazing, and (yes, you can gag if needed lol) I'm still not sure how I got so lucky.
