[Kylan's Blog] Wedding Prep

So, a lot has happened in the past couple of weeks. With the wedding only a week away, we have a lot of plans to finalize. Here's a quick recap of what's been going on.

The drive from Pullman, WA to Normal, IL was pretty uneventful. Except for the fact that we broke down in South Dakota. Sound familiar? It should, because that's what happened two years ago, the last time that Kristen and I made this drive. In fact, we broke down only about seventy miles away from our previous spot. Since Kristen had an important fitting for her wedding dress the next day, her grandpa drove six hours to trade cars with us so we could get back on the road. That was so nice of him!

After arriving in Normal, Kristen went to her dress fitting and then we drove down to Quincy to visit her other grandparents (the wedding is going to be at their house). We spent two days in Quincy talking to the caterer, the party supply store, the hair dresser, etc. We got a lot done during this time, which helped alleviate a lot of the pressure associated with the wedding plans.

Since getting back to Normal, Kristen and I have continued to work on some of the finer details. I bought some groomsman gifts, Kristen designed the ceremony program, etc. We have an action item list that separates our tasks by day. So far it's worked out really well. All we have to do today is make signs for the road and the mail box to direct the wedding guests to the right house. (Since today is relatively free, I have time to write this blog post.)

Our wedding is only a week away! I'm starting to get very excited.
