Stuck in a Wedding Planning Rut

     Since last post my goals were to figure out the cake deal and get the invitations out. Neither one done...Ick! I've been gathering the addresses for the guest list and working on the wording and asking around about cakes. There's been progress. It turns out it's really difficult to plan a wedding from another state. My mother is being so helpful. I'm guessing most of my stress is just from not being able to be right in the middle of all the planning. Am I a closet control-freak?
    
     Not only is it difficult to plan from another state it's difficult to plan from Rexburg. It's tough to shop when you have limited options. If not all of you are familiar with Rexburg: Population 27,500, that is less than a fifth of the size of Eugene, Oregon (population:154,600) - the town I grew up in. Rexburg has 2 bowling alleys (that's a big deal), Walmart, Braulim's (grocery store), Albertson's, Kmart, Radioshack, Maurices, Bajios, Arctic Circle, Craigo's Pizzaria, McDonalds, Wendy's, one craft store....Rexburg just isn't the place you want to go if you want options and to get a low priced option.
    
     Anyway, planning is still going. Cake and invitations are still on my list along with center pieces and bridal photography. The lady I was hoping to have take my bridal pictures is taking some time off this winter so I'm still looking. ::Sigh::

     Dana keeps telling me "We have the Temple, we'll have the mariage license, and a cruise...everything else....Just details." I wish I could be so easy about everything as he is.

So I'm focusing on breathing and counting down the days!!!! (It's 50 days.....just in case you were wondering)
