Um... 85 DAYS!!
So I have now officially recovered from my FIRST COMPLETE YEAR OF GRAD SCHOOL! Can you believe it!? I can't believe how fast time has gone by. 1down, 2 to go. I would like to take the opportunity to thank anyone that has experienced Nina the bride-zilla over the last month and a half. Towards the end of the quarter the flowers, dresses, menus, travel and hotel info for India, house landscaping, work and finals ultimately took over. Thank you to everyone that listened to me whine :). Sorry if I was snappy! I would also like to thank the bridesmaids that got me a massage gift certificate last Christmas...I finally used it the weekend before finals and it made a world of difference with the stress level and helped me focus. The only other time I have been this physically exhausted was when we were going through the "2004 wedding tour" (Kavita, Mandy, Avanti, Gary, Jonie, Dave) plus grad school apps, house purchase, and move-in merge and purge.

So here we are at 85 days left. I went for my first dress fitting a week ago. That was pretty crazy. I went by myself which apparently people don't do because they were shocked that I didn't bring any friends or family. Next time. All the weight that I lost meant that a lot need to be taken in but the dress still looked really pretty.

Tonight Chris and I fly to Rhode Island for my east coast bridal shower and his east coast bachelor party. I'll be there for 29 hours then I'll get right back on a plane to LA. Chris will be off to NYC for licensing show. In the short time we are there we have a meeting with the florist, a meeting with the hotel my family is staying with, the bridal shower, a visit with Uncle Mike and Aunt Mary, the bachelor party, a dinner with my Aunt Dena from Chicago and her daughter (bridesmaid and cousin) Kristina from North Carolina, and a meeting with the Church...oh my. Did I mention I haven't met the new Cowart baby yet? I need to play with her and my two little flower girls! There dresses are in! Can't wait to see them try them on!

So that's the latest. School starts up again in a few weeks. One more class before the wedding. We have TONS more to do but it seem manageable at the moment. Hopefully the hard part is over but only time will tell!
