The BIG List

So, I finally did it. I made myself a list, a true, honest (and detailed) list of things that I really need to do for the wedding. And it's a bigg'un. But if I could just get past the first two things, which I've been stuck on for at least 3 months (invitations and DJ, gah!), then I think I would be in pretty good shape. Oh, for a few more hours in the day!

Here it is:

...So, I guess this means I have a lot of work ahead of myself. Of course, it's formatted so much nicer in Word, but you get the idea. I know what I'll be doing for the next 137 days (Thank you, Knot Gods, for taunting me everytime I log on for a little support, telling me how few days I have to throw everything together)...

Enjoy it!
