So close I can taste it...

So the wedding is down to 28 days away and yesterday I had the wonderful Ali help me make the wedding entrance sign. She made us something so pretty and unique, and we love it. I also got the seating chart ready by buying a cork board and covering it with red fabric and I'm going to use the same paper flowers to accent the seating list. Yay arts and crafts wedding!

Hair Trial (formerly Hair Trail)

I had my hair trial today in Locust Valley and while the drive sucked because it was rush hour, I think it went amazingly. The salon is right by the house where we're getting married and there is a deli across the street.

The hair came out exactly how I wanted. A perfect cascade of curls. It was weird when she started tying some of my hair up, but in the end I was very pleased. Elegant and young and yes that is all my hair. No extensions for this lady.

Walked to Work

Today I walked to work and pass this lake on my way. There were a whole mess of swans and ducks and geese. I had to walk to work because I gave Gordon my car since his is in the shop. It turned out to be a nice walk. Took about 18 minutes. It wasn't too hot, which I was grateful for and Gordon's picking me up when I get out tonight.

When I got to work I found out I'm the only counselor out of 4 here today. So far it hasn't been unmanageable. Right now I'm hungry though... Mmmm lunch.

My House Has a Library!

This week I took vacation and spent Tuesday and Wednesday creating my dream library. Tuesday I painted the entire room with a paint brush. I started by just painting the edges and then ended up just continuing and doing the whole wall and then the other wall. I love love love the color. It's called Deep Ocean and I have to say I do feel like I am deep in the vast ocean when I'm in the room. Wednesday Gordon also had off so instead of going to the beach (it was cloudy) we went to ikea and bought 4 Billy Bookcases. We set them up that evening then went to dinner. I am very excited to have them up and be able to put our books in them and once we get the desk from my Mom our library will be complete!
