Last Few Days of Singlehood

Partying with friends on Saturday night
Tomkin and I had a pretty low-key weekend, which was nice since next weekend will be crazy. (Only four days until the wedding!!!) Saturday we ran errands, and that night we went to a party at Shawn and Lucas's house, which was fun. I feel like everyone's ready to start busting out and partying together again after the long, cold winter. Sunday was cool and rainy, so we stayed home and got more wedding stuff done. We're still fighting colds, so we've been trying to rest up as much as possible. Yesterday we both worked really hard--we're trying to get as much done as we can before we take time off for the wedding and honeymoon. The pizza and the movie were Super Good!
Last night Tomkin picked up "Superbad," and we made pizza and snuggled with the dogs on the couch while we watched the movie. That was SO nice. We needed a break from work and from wedding talk and tasks. And the movie was hilarious! Today I got a full-body exfoliation and a facial from my aunt Carol, who works at Spalon Montage. Wow, was that a treat. So nice and relaxing. I feel like now the Week of the Wedding is truly underway! Ready for an afternoon of bliss at Spalon Montage
The weather has taken a somewhat unfortunate turn, but I'm trying to stay optimistic. It's been cold and gray; I'm just hoping it doesn't snow again. Right now the weekend forecast shows possible rain and snow with temps around 40. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will at least be pleasant out (no snow, please!!!). Tomorrow is our last workday before the wedding; we've both got a lot of work to finish up. Tomkin and I are having a quiet evening alone tomorrow, and then guests will start arriving on Thursday. Basically we'll be partying for four days--I can't wait! It'll be so fun to have friends and family members here to celebrate our wedding with us. We're leaving next Tuesday for a four-day honeymoon in Northfield (home of Carleton College, where we met). Our awesome friend Ben is going to house/dog-sit while we're gone. I might try to post again before the weekend...but chances are this is it until after the honeymoon. Thanks to everyone who has offered words of advice and support and excitement. We appreciate all the love and good wishes. This really is an amazing and wonderful time, and I'm excited beyond words that I get to marry the man of my dreams in just four days! I'll blog all about it soon!

That spa looks so relaxing! Glad you are getting some downtime before the chaos.

One piece of advice, even if it does snow or rain, even if the flowers or wrong the cake gets dropped or cousin jane gets hammered at the reception and embarrasses you, just focus on what's really important that day: you and Tomkin and your love for eachother. Nothing else matters. The wedding is just a day. The marriage is what counts.

Have a blast Jules! We'll be thinking of you guys.

I'll second that sentiment. Relax and enjoy the lead-up to this gorgeous occasion!
