Quick Disclosure: Sorry for the tardiness of this post... I cannot find my pics from the prep days! I'm really hoping they did not get deleted... so for now... here is the post using some other pics. I might go back and edit it if I find them :) I think they are on my broken laptop. Thanks!
We arrived up north on Wednesday evening. Kelley and I rode together in mom's car, packed completely full of stuff. Tony and Jax rode in the saturn, also packed completely full. This is even after I had brought up a carload of stuff the weekend before, as well as miscelaneous items throughout the previous weeks. I guess that's what happens when you DIY the majority of your decor and snackies!
On Thursday, we prepped. We decorated. We stressed a little and sweat a lot. Some items we crossed off the to-do list that day included:
* Setting up & decorating the entryway and gift table.
* Positioning the cake table and hanging our great catch net with our engagement pics.
* Hanging our fauxto-booth backdrop, positioning the camera stand, and setting out the props. Here is one of the photo booth pics from the wedding night using a lot of the props! Gotta love the groomsmen ;)
* Using the assembly line technique to produce our favor bags - little baggies of trailmix! See the pink arrow. We set them out at all 150 table settings, including a little tag with a cute poem. If I can't find our prep day pics, I'll at least post the tag template.
* Make and hang photo memories & words of advice down the hallway. {No pic found yet!}
We ended the day chilling by the campfire and playing some yard games. It was a lot of hard work but totally worth it! Thank you so much to everyone who helped us with the prep work, it is very much appreciated!
Love Like Crazy Recap:
* We saw a teaser with some of my favorite pics.

Color Changes
Tony and I have been hard at work chipping away at our debt snowball, per Dave Ramsey's FPU class. That being said, we have decided to go easy on the Christmas presents this year. I know it's not as fun, but this year our financial peace has been the best present of all. I know, sappy.
So... my present from Tony is to decorate our bedroom (affordably). To kick things off, Tony painted three of the five walls (yes, we have an odd-shaped room) in our bedroom on his day off last Thursday. I had narrowed it down to a bright granny apple green, a dark masculine purple, or a rich deep tiffany blue. Tony was appalled at the thought of purple. And he definitely wasn't thrilled about green. So here is the winner:
