6 months

So that's all that's left. And that doesn't seem very long. This has me worried. Granted there isn't much left for me to do. But there's enough to keep me busy. Not to mention it would be nice to have the living room painted and furnished by this fall. Since we will be having people coming from out of town who we will be entertaining and they may want to see the house. But I'm getting ahead of myself here.

What's left:

Dance Lessons
Invitations
Cake
Flowers
Favors
Aisle Runner
Ties for the Boys
Shoes for the Girls

[x] I'm not sure how I feel about these anymore. I want to go... but I'm not so sure I want to add another thing to my to do list.
[x] I will not enjoy addressing these. But I'll deal.
[x] I know where I want the cake from and what I want it to look like. I just have to get the decorators on the same page.
[x] I know I want red flowers. But there are lots out there. So I've been trying to weed out the ones I DON'T want to make any more floral consultations go more smoothly.
[x] Favors... ooooooh favors. I can't decide between those little chests I linked earlier and round metal tins. I also need to figure out what to put in them
[x] I was going to ask a friends mom to sew the runner for me, but the fabric I wanted was too expensive. $450+shipping for something I'm going to walk on? No thanks. So I'm left trying to get creative, but I think it'll work.
[x] Ties, simple enough
[x] Shoes: my one true love and current hate.

In other news I got my second box today... I still haven't gotten Thank You cards printed. I stink.

We didn't bother with a runner.

We got clear labels for the invitations and printed everyone's addresses.

Dance Lessons are overrated. They can be as frustrating as they are helpful.

As long as you can step in time you can do the merengue to most music. If you don't bend your knee bend you can make it fit non-latin music in a sort of fake hustle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlO3VLHm2lM

Here is a link with all the basic turns. The key is not the footwork but being able to walk past your partner.

Practice some of these and make up your own. If you step in time to the movements you can do anything without having to worry about lessons.

I can't believe it's so soon! Very exciting. If you need anything, let me know. (Rebecca)
