What a week so far! It is absolutely insane trying to get everything done. Then one thing after another comes up and creates more work for me!!
Thankfully the move last week went so incredibly smoothly. I have such a wonderful group of friends here in Raleigh that helped pack away my stuff and put it in the truck. A big thankyou to Chris who packed the truck so well. Also thankyous to Laura, Bridget, Amy, Silas, Brian, Thomas, Tim, and Dad who dealt with all the dust, matched my socks, grabbed furniture, cleaned stuff, helped me unload my chest of drawers, etc etc etc. You guys and gals rock my socks off!
I also must thank the wonderful people who came and helped in Greenville. Brian and Laura even travelled down with us and helped us unload too. Then, they tackled the tough job of putting together our entertainment center. Wow, that was awesome. Thankyou especially to Jayson who gathered and called some helpers. More thankyous to Brandon, Tyler, John, Stephanie and Megan. You all rock my socks off too. We had that truck unloaded in record time after filling our bellies with the wonderful hotdogs Mom made.
Anyways, with the huge burden of moving lifted off my shoulders, all have to worry about is getting things done for the wedding. Important things too. I just got my shoes and undergarments for the dress today. Yes, today! Less than three days before the wedding and all I have been thinking about is getting everything done for everything but myself. I also scheduled a manicure, pedicure, and massage. Hey, I deserve it! I used the frassled bride to get an appointment today that normally I wouldn't be able to get without scheduling it ten days in advance.
What's really awesome is my wedding director. Not only is she my director, but she is my steamer, hair stylist, makeup artist, and suggestor/encourager. I couldn't have asked for a better friend in Julie Anna; I am truly blessed.
I feel like such a procrastinator. I have been engaged since August, yet I am still scrambling in the end to get stuff done! Well, it'll all come together. I can't expect everything to be perfect anyways!

Furniture
It is really neat being able to buy some small things for our apartment. Yes, we got an apartment!! It is a nice 2 Bedroom/1 Bathroom apartment with a large kitchen, washer dryer hookups, a dining area, and a large living room. We are definitely excited about the prospects of moving our stuff there this weekend. It goes without saying that we still need a lot of things, in which, we hope our registry will take care of.
Anyways, back to furniture. Rodney and I have just made a few purchases over the last couple of days. First of all, I went yard-saleing with my brother, Thomas, and we found a dresser. Now, I really like it, but it needs to grow on Rodney a little as he likes darker woods. It is half wardrobe and half dresser, so it'll look nice and be very functional.
Next, we decided to go ahead and purchase a headboard. My grandma was going to give us hers, but it is a water bed frame and I am worried that our mattresses may not fit. Because it is a bear to put together and take apart, I don't want my Dad and brothers putting it together and then discovering that it won't fit and them having to take it apart which almost takes just as long to put together. We fell in love with the sleigh-bed look and actually purchased a sleigh bed headboard and foot board from Big Lots. Yeah, Big Lots has some really nice stuff for a good price!
We also bought our entertainment center from Big Lots this past weekend. It is cute and will look nice in our living room.
The last big purchase we have is a set of Queen mattresses. We are actually going to go get those the day we pick up the moving truck, this Friday. We have to sign the lease on Friday and then we plan to actually move the stuff up there on Saturday with a bunch of people's help.
Anyways, it is getting more and more exciting as the wedding day approaches. I am really clean-sweeping the stuff I already have. I am trying to be unmerciful in a lot of it, and have been quite successful. We'll see how much stuff I can be completely unmerciful with!
