Merry Almost Christmas From The Almost Bohls Family

Christmas List

My gift this year is a wedding. We get to party it up with our closest friends and family AND I get to marry my best friend. What else could I possibly want? Ill show you...

11 days...

Im Alive(ish)

We are getting married in 16 days. That’s just a tad longer than two weeks! How did it get here so fast?! Were behind on our Christmas shopping but moving as calm, cool and collected through the days as we can.

I cant believe how busy the weeks leading up to a wedding can be. I was prepared for it, and now that my Mom is home things have been moving along at a wonderful pace, I just cant believe how many tiny details begin to consume your life.

Weve edited and edited and edited our wedding programs. We picked them up from being printed and tied tassels to all 350 of them. We bought candles for the candelabras on the registry table. We purchased peppermint stir sticks for the make your own hot chocolate bar. We found the perfect from-scratch recipe to make the hot chocolate mix. We ordered 100 bottles of wine and 8 kegs. We found my Mom a beautiful dress at Neiman Marcus. We had a final meeting with our reception venue. We ordered 388 sparklers to be used during our send off. We have our wedding bands. We have zero thank yous to write as of this very moment as weve written them all as the gifts roll in.

Anyway, you get the idea. Weve done a lot and weve got a lot to go. Im one busy bride to be. Pray for me.

Couples Shower

We had a couples shower this weekend-it was our last shower and we really went out with a bang.

Our guests were asked to attach a Christmas ornament to their gifts and so our collection grew by a large amount! We are so grateful for all that have showered us in love over and over... itll be here before we know it.

And now... finally... I am airport bound to pick up my MOM!

Guess

Guess who got their marriage license today?

Guess who lost ANOTHER key on her laptop keyboard. That makes 4 missing letters and numbers.

Guess who went to the doctor and left with 4 new prescriptions today?

Guess who is hoping and praying to not be a sick bride?

Guess who has a couples shower tomorrow evening?

Guess who is still motherless thanks to snow storms in Paris and an airline strike?

Guess who gets to host her favorite human on earth, her grandfather, for a sleepover tomorrow?

Guess who waited for over 6 months to receive the first two dvds of Mad Men and hasn’t had a moment to watch them?
