172 days to go...

it's now 172 days until our wedding - that's 5 months, 2 weeks, 5 days away - and suddenly it feels like with all the planning that has already been done, it is now go time.
went to lunch with mom and dad today, and talked a bit about the planning; what's done, what's left, what's paid for, and so on... most of the 'big' items (vendors) are done, but the details are now racking up on the to-do list. mom and i shopped some this afternoon for a few little items, but we are going to make a bigger plan of it soon. the more we can get out of the way early, the easier it will be come october!
