Single Digits!

The wedding is only 9 days away! From 260 days, to now 9. People keep asking me: Are you nervous? Are you scared? Are you ready? Are you excited?

The answer is: All of the above.

 I want to enjoy these last 9 days of being Kaitlyn Bogart, for I will never be just Kaitlyn Bogart again. There's no ring on my finger and there hasn't been since August 7th (I got my engagement ring and wedding band soldered together). I took my engagement ring in, not really realizing I would never see it just by itself again. To me, that hit me kind of hard. I realized it would never just be me again. Don't get me wrong, I love Darren with all that I am and am looking forward to our life and future together. My rings are just really symbolic to me, I think as it should be though. When Darren slips my wedding ring on at the wedding, then "we" will really be we. My woes will be his woes, my happiness will be his happiness, my sorrow will be his sorrow, and vise versa.

I'm starting to get a little emotional, and since I'm at work I better stop.

Signing out,
Kaitlyn Bogart

10 days

There are only 10 days until the wedding folks. Let me break that down for you. That means there are only:

• 10 more sleeps
• 6 more days of work (I'm taking the 28th off to finish last minute wedding prep)
• 4 more gym sessions
• 3 more Zumbas
• 1 Yellow Ribbon conference 
• 1 Weight Watchers weigh-in (not looking forward to that)
• 1 more visit from my Aunt Flo 

There isn't much left to do at all! We just have to purchase tablecloths for the reception, a few punch items, punch cups, memory card for the camera, and two scoops for the candy. After we purchase all that we just have to pay people such as the church, pastor, caterer, cake lady, and the DJ. That will all be the most expensive part! Next Wednesday I get my mani-pedi, then Thursday when Darren gets off work we are going to Wichita to pick up my dress and his tux. Then Friday, with the help of some family, we are going to decorate the reception hall and have rehearsal and rehearsal dinner that night. I'm am so excited and just wish it was here already. August has been moving at snail speed lately. 

Bachelorette Party Pics

Pictures speak louder than words sometimes, so I'll just let all the pictures do the talking. They aren't in order, and it kills the OCD in me, but I can deal with it if you can :)

Sorry this post is a mess! I can't figure out how to get the pics side by side. Haha! It was a great night. I did miss Darren, and yes we texted a little throughout the night and talked on the phone that night. Bad us! I hate having fun without him, but he was also having his own fun at his bachelor party. Eating smoked meat, shooting guns, and drinking. He said the next day he would like to take me shooting with him sometime. Won't say no to that! There are only 12 days left until the wedding. Crazy how time flies sometimes!
