Procrastination Makes Perfect

I'm writing this post now, instead of writing one of the four papers I have due this week. I have a terrible case of senioritis, with complications of wedding hyper-excitement. Luckily, I have an uncanny ability to write A+ papers at the last minute, which is what I'll be doing tomorrow night.

The Orlofski family visited Erie over Easter weekend, and we had a great time together. Friday night was an incredible worship experience followed by a fun night of coloring eggs.





 On Saturday, Kevin & I ran wedding errands and went to the reception tasting with our parents. You loyal followers of the blog get the inside scoop on the dinner options: Chicken Oscar and Prime Rib! After trying all five options, we decided that these two were by far the best.

We finished off the night by assembling our invitations--yay! They are sitting in this lovely cardboard box in my bedroom, patiently waiting to be dropped off at the post office:

Easter Sunday was beautiful day spent worshiping, learning, and loving family. Mom made a chocolate decadence cake, which was to die for.

My #2 procrastinating effort has been adding things to our registries. They got pretty wiped out after the bridal shower a few weeks ago (thank you to all the ladies who attended!). We don't have a lot of room in the apartment, so we're getting creative. We added this super cool shower head that I am SO EXCITED about. And an AeroBed inflatable mattress so our guests will be super comfy when they visit. Make note of this my Erie peeps!

April Showers bring...July Brides?

 Boy that grass looks green!

Fittingly, it's pouring rain outside today, just in time for my bridal shower this afternoon. Very much looking forward to it!

The last few weeks have been consumed with schoolwork for me...two weeks left, and I will be free to concentrate on wedding arrangements. I can't believe it's less than 80 days away!

Our biggest challenge right now is getting the invitations in the mail. We've had some hangups with the design and printing, but our goal is to have them signed, sealed, and (on the way to being) delivered by the end of this week. Hopefully.

I've also been working on the table centerpieces, decorations, and music...I'm so thankful that we have such talented friend who are willing to share their musical gifts. Kevin and I are both music-lovers, and the music we're choosing for the ceremony is very meaningful to us--full of worship and praise to God for giving us each other.

Kevin started moving into our apartment on Thursday, but it's a slow process. Here's what it looks like so far:
















In a few weeks I'll be posting a "Things To Do" section, with some suggestions for our out-of-town guests who are coming in on Friday or Saturday. Much to the surprise of most people, there are some pretty cool things to check out here ;)
