Take a Second and Relax!

HOLY CRAP!!  I can not begin to explain how busy we have been this month.  It is absolutely crazy what we have put ourselves through.

We moved into the house on May 12th.  We were pretty settled that weekend, minus our new furniture and some artwork.  We've slowly been getting artwork, and our furniture was delivered a week after we moved in.  It was delivered on the day of my AMAZING bridal shower.

My wonderful Aunt Terry and cousin Chelsea hosted it for me at Food Dance.  Probably one of the most amazing restaurants in Kalamazoo.  The turn out was great.  I am so lucky to have so many friends and family who love me and were there to celebrate the day with me!  Those who couldn't come were missed dearly!!  I had so much yummy food, and the decorations we awesome!

When I got home from the shower I will tell you I was soooo overwhelmed.  I had just moved in and gotten everything where I wanted it to be, and now I had all of this stuff to find places for.  The gifts sat in the living room for about 2 days while I tried to figure out where I was going to put everything!

Lucky for us (not very smart of us though) we decided to have our housewarming party this weekend.  We were forced to find homes for all of the gifts, and start hanging artwork.  Three completely packed weekends makes for a very tired Karissa.  Our party turned out AWESOME.  We had around 20 people and had some amazing food.  We'll be eating leftovers for 2 weeks, and we don't need to visit the liquor store for about a year!  We woke up Saturday morning extremely sad it was due to rain all day.  I was so upset I wanted to call off the party.  We have an awesome deck and great outdoor area, we had lawn games, and all of our patio furniture all set to go, and at 8am it was looking pretty gloomy outside.  Somehow, someone was looking over us...we didn't get a drop of rain, and the sun came out and we were able to host our party outside without a hitch!  I feel like such a grown up, our first really party!  Someone asked us if we were going to set up beer pong...um no not in my house.  We're adults, lets act like it!

It has been one CRAZY month!  I looked at the calendar today and realized...we are exactly 2 months away from the wedding.  We've sent out invitations...(Stuffing invitations blows) and we've already gotten some RSVP cards back!  I'm getting so excited, but slowly stressed, because I'm beginning to realize I need to start tying up details, and I have so much work stuff going on as well..I'm getting overwhelmed.  I don't want to wish this time away, but I'm ready for it to just be here!

Hope everyone has had a great start to summer, and enjoyed the long weekend!
