One Week!

One week from today I will be on my way to my hair appointment and that much closer to becoming Mrs. Gordon! I get to see Brett in FOUR days and I'm seriously getting desperate to see him. In my last post I claimed to be completely calm about everything, but I spoke a little too soon. The anxiety of making sure everything goes to plan has definitely kicked in! I should have been more prepared for these feelings considering every bride I know told me that the week before the wedding is when it all hits you...I guess I was hoping I would be an exception. HA!

I am so thankful for Brett. He knows how to calm my fears and bring my focus back to what is important .The end goal is that we will be married and be together and that is happening NO MATTER WHAT!  I can't wait for him to be back by my side. I feel incomplete! ugh.

I am also sooo thankful for my friends. Jessica was my saving grace yesterday as I felt an overwhelming amount of guilt as to how much I've actually gotten done in the last few weeks. I had a blast last night at dinner with the girls and running around with Whit until 1:00 am was exactly what I needed! I am so excited to spend time with them tonight for my Bachelorette PARTY! Kaitlin will be in town in just a couple of hours and I know tonight will be such a fun memory to have with all my best girl friends!

ONE WEEK ONE WEEK ONE WEEK ONE WEEK!...I'm a little excited. Can you tell? :)

Is this real life?!

Midnight tonight starts the 2 week countdown? Can you believe it?! I keep wanting to repeat "It's ALL happening!" -Name that movie. (Or maybe only I can because during my two years of living in ZTA house I watched "Almost Famous" at least three times a week and can quote the entire movie.)

Everyone keeps asking me how I'm doing, and I have to say I'm strangely calm -at the moment. :) More excited and ready than stressed/nervous. Although some advice to any of you future brides out there: always double check that your vendors are remembering your wedding. Because, if you don't, you will call your rehearsal dinner locale and they will ask if you could change the date or time of your event. Thankfully, it all got worked out and we got to spend the next 15 minutes chatting about where Pratt Place is located and what it is like. What could have been a bad situation turned into fun girl talk. I'm just happy bridezilla didn't have to show up for a few minutes...

I also got to pick this up today:


I love how it turned out! Thanks, Underwoods!


As the wedding gets closer, it is getting harder and harder to be apart from Brett. I CANNOT wait to see him (only 11 days!) . But this next week consists of lots of packing and my Bachelorette party!!!  I'm going to try to spend as much time as possible with my friends, because with the reality of the wedding comes the reality of moving. I'm so ready to move to PA and start a life with Brett, but I will definitely miss Arkansas- I hope she knows how much I love her.
