Paper flowers

I just stopped cutting paper flower petals and I realized that I had been fixated on said task for 3 hours. Wow. That's not me. I'm the girl that takes ten minute breaks every 20 minutes. I get really impatient with menial tasks, but I guess I was feeling motivated. I did take a break and created my own design for some boutonnieres. I think they look pretty cute, but I am going to ask for opinions tomorrow. I also created our wedding program. Of course, the information is likely to change, so I won't print it yet (and I'm out of printer ink). I am pretty proud of them.

My friend, Jimi, is creating some artwork for the invitations. She said she had the mock up's nearly done and that I would get to check them out tomorrow. I am really excited to see what she came up with! After that, the wedding invitation construction frenzy shall begin. It will just involve a lot of printing and envelope stuffing. I am so not into cutting, gluing and scrap-booking every freaking invitation, but they are going to be one of a kind because of Jimi's artwork. I am REALLY excited to see those pictures...did I mention that?

Earlier tonight, I read the first three chapters of Alice in Wonderland to Micah. Micah started reading to me this summer and I loved it. I suppose it could be sickenly cute to some, but it has become something really special for us. Last night, I

read The Gremlins to him. It's a really cute book by Roald Dahl (my favorite childhood author). I like that Micah and I do simple things like that together.

Also, speaking of Micah, he is sending his application in tomorrow, so please keep praying. I think he did such a good job with all the materials required for the application and I hope that the admissions committee thinks likewise.

Anyway, I am going to finish picking up my room and provide some nice before and after pictures for you. The room got really bad, so I am thinking that some self-imposed public humiliation might prevent me from letting it get so messy in the future.

Long day tomorrow. More later.
