You know, it actually worked out really well that our wedding is the weekend after Thanksgiving weekend.  The four-day weekend allowed us to get some rest, as well as get some of the last-minute preparations done for the wedding and our life together.

Part of the weekend was spent putting together some of the final details for the wedding, including helping decorate the church. We’re using a lot of their Christmas decorations in addition to our own decorations. They were kind and cooperative enough to allow us to have some input and didn’t make us feel like we were imposing at all.

After decorating the church, Matt and I made a dash to IKEA and Target to get some necessary furniture for when I move in. After a long, stressful process of trying to put together furniture that was packaged with some wrong parts, I now have a desk for my computer (with extra space for Matt to draw, of course), and an etagere in the bathroom to store all my girly stuff.

I also spent some time organizing the place so that there is room for my belongings. Never underestimate how much space you can save with good organization!

I can’t wait to move in after the wedding and settle into our new home. I’m excited about living in Seattle with my husband, and I’m looking forward to the days to come.
