The Venue

We chose Rosemary Beach for our venue.  The ceremony will take place on the beach with the reception following on the Eastern Green.

My Vendors

• Photography: Rae and Wesley Leytham
• Flowers/Catering: Celestine’s Special Occasions
• Pastry Chef: Confections on the Coast
• Hair/Makeup: Two Fishes Artistry
• Reception Band: Replay (my dad’s band)

I uploaded some photos of my hair/makeup trial to Flickr (friends only).  I was very happy with the results but I’m requesting another trial.  My skin will be a lot darker by October so I want my makeup adjusted accordingly before the big day.  I also would like my hair styled with the veil I choose (I decided on a birdcage veil instead of a flower.)

The cake is what I’m most excited about.  A post dedicated to the cake is coming soon.

I created a Twitter for all things wedding.  I’ve also started on our website.  There’s a lot of pressure concerning the site — all my IRL friends say, “I’m sure your wedding website will be awesome!”  so the site must be perfect

My dress shipped on March 31st so it should be here any day now!

I think that’s about it.  Now I need to design my Save the Dates and find some dresses for my bridesmaids.

Will: Oh my god!!!!
Will: Are you watching?!?
Will: Best show ever
Me: Ben! What is he about to do?
Will: I have no clue

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

Me: Omg flaming arrows?!?!
Will: Ha ha
Me: Sawyer & Juliet FTW
Me: “He’s also got this double life where he does crazy ninja moves and spy stuff.”
Me: Omg they are in the past
Will: Wow
Me: It doesn’t get any better than this
Me: Locke
Will: Holy cow
Will: Just wait
Me: Omg omg omg
Will: Call me

In other non-related news, I took your advice and replaced my sideblog with my recent tweets.  I rarely used my sideblog anyway.

And there’s much more…

• Get my eyebrows waxed
• Pick up nasal spray prescription
• Exchange Numerical Analysis textbook TODAY
• Sign up for Undergraduate Research credit TODAY
• Make an appointment with my gynecologist
• Pick up my ODS paperwork TODAY
• Meet with my wedding coordinator
• Start working again with my personal trainer
• Rethink Perfection
• Make a resumé
• Start job hunting (any suggestions for Atlanta?)

In other news, my OS professor asked me to help out with a project.  I don’t know any details other than I’ll be in charge of bug reporting and helping out with the website.  Adding this job to my current schedule means that I’ll be cutting back on Halo

I haven’t wasted time partying though (I guess that’s what Van Wilder did… I haven’t seen the film.)  I was an English/Spanish major before deciding to change colleges and study Computer Science, which put me a year behind.  I also suffered from some health issues that led to my surgery and caused me to miss two semesters.  My dad had promised to buy me a new car when I graduated from college.  My friends joked that there would be flying cars by that time I’ll be getting a wedding from my dad for graduation rather than a new car.  Looks like I’ll be driving my 1999 Isuzu Rodeo until she dies (I’ve had her since I turned 16.)

Anyways, here’s my Spring 2009 schedule:

• Intro Operating Systems
• Compiler Construction
• Intro Numerical Analysis
• Software Design & Development
• Ethical Societal Issues
• Undergraduate Research

I’m really looking forward to Operating Systems… I’ve heard wonderful things about the professor!  Not so much Compilers — the teacher is the hardest in the department I had him for Algorithms last semester and almost failed the course (I’m an A-B student, so that is really out of character for me.)  Compilers is a programming course, though.  I’m really good at programming (had the highest grade in my Programming Languages class last semester) but I struggle with theoretical crap.

Well I’m off to play some Halo 3.  Catch me on Xbox Live — I’m QueenSiD.
