23 days to go

Oh my do the days seem to be getting shorter & shorter. I told my good friend Maren today, "Please don't let me unravel." There is a saying that goes, "If success is in the systems, the devil is in the details." This means that it's the little unfinished details in a project or event that can kill you. These little things are starting to add up now, & I'm trying to stay calm. People get married every day & go through these things. Honestly, that's not very comforting at this point when you just want things to be perfect & as CALM as possible & you thought everything was ready, but then you realize ..............there not. Breathe, Lori, breathe. Of course, Angelia is also having some "bridezilla" moments which are difficult to endure, but I'm trying. My mom said something today like, "You need to lock her up & don't let her out till the day of the wedding." This isn't her actual quote, but pretty close & still pretty funny. Sorry Leah. I was a bridezilla too.



Anyway, back to the shower. I thought I would show some pics of the guests at the shower. Sorry to any of you who I missed because who were not seated when I was taking the pics.
