My two weeks in Greece were absolutely blissful! It was a great time to relax, recharge, and think about all that has happened (and will happen!) this year. I guess you could call it "soul searching," as I was also able to reflect on some of the this summer's "milestones." This summer has been a whirlwind - starting with our engagement party, family trips, selling my car, and now, another huge step - starting a new job!! When Adam and I first got engaged, I decided to put my job search on the shelf. I thought I would be CRAZY for planning a wedding AND getting adjusted to a new job all in one year! However, an opportunity arose that I just couldn't pass up! The timing was just right, and taking this job seemed like the exact right thing to do. I will have a solid 8 months in my new position before the wedding. Honestly, it feels like getting a new job was the last piece to my frantic-summer-puzzle! And now that I've completed my job search, I can get back to the wedding :)
I'll admit - we've all but taken the summer off! Theknot.com tells me I've completed 99% of the things I needed to do 12-9months before the wedding (yippie!). But we're creeping up on 8 months... which brings with it A LOT! My original goal was to have our STD's out by Labor Day (ehh...maybe that'll happen?). But seeing that we haven't finalized the guest list (well not entirely!), asked all the wedding party (...crickets...), finalized our colors (we're SO close!), taken engagement pics, we've got a few obstacles in our way :) We know what needs to be done, and I'm really excited about all the planning we have left to do and I'm trying to savor every moment of our engagement!
