Uncle PB Kisses taught class Sunday morning and we talked a lot about coveting.
Coveting (or lack thereof) is easy to explain in Sunday school when you don't want your kids to covet a new bicycle or Barbie or something.
I'm currently battling my coveting of a new job: namely a Kindergarten job for my alma mater. Every morning I drive by and imagine pulling into the parking lot (even though the sun hasn't even come up because I have to leave so stinkin' early in the morning) and unlocking my classroom door to prepare for day with 5 year olds. Thanks to Daddy, I have an overactive imagination that no reality could ever live up to.
Contentment > Covetousness
Wish me luck.
Contentment love and all of mine.

In the trenches
Mama and I are working in the trenches today.
We have planted, mulched, dug, watered, laid bricks and entertained the dog.
This afternoon we are running to Hob Lob, Home Depot and taking my ring to get sized!
Speaking of rings... Mama D and her girls are treating me to a spa day on Friday! I relax with a Get-A-Glow facial and then a mani-pedi. I think Married Lacey will be jealous of Bride Lacey.
10 Day weather forecast has changed everyday. What can ya do? We're praying for sunshine and blue skies, but a few clouds wouldn't hurt.
Pictures to come on our 2 church bridal showers! :)

The race is on...
...and here comes stress in the back stretch.
30 days, folks. A couple weeks and it will be all hands on deck.
Here is a round up of the last couple of days.*
-I missed my dress fitting. It was scheduled for Tuesday. Mama took off Tuesday and I told her I was sure it was on Wednesday. My seamstress called on Tuesday afternoon to ask if I was coming. Oops! We rescheduled for Wednesday afternoon and Mama and I got there, early! We will pick up the dress on June 8th, 10:00am. I have it written down in 3 different places.
-Gardener Guy and I met with the photographer on Wednesday. We nailed out the day-of schedule and that was a huge relief! Plus, I was able to determine that I get to sleep in on my wedding day! I probably won't, but the schedule will allow me to do so if I can! We are planning to do a "Private Moment" to see each other before the ceremony. I know this is not traditional, and other choose to wait, but it seemed to work for us.
We chose to do this for a few of reasons.
1. I think that seeing Gardener Guy before the ceremony will help me calm down and enjoy the day with my guy and keep priorities straight.
2. With the ceremony and reception both at my parents house, we are assuming that our guests will want something to do immediately following the ceremony. We didn't want to hold up the guests or our bridal party from eating and cavorting (right Auntie J?). Plus, this kid eats dinner at around 5:30, by the time 6:30 rolls around, I will need to boost my blood sugar!
3. I am trying to squeeze every ounce of emotion out of Gardener Guy that day! And maybe, just maybe, I will get 2 emotional moments (the Private Moment, and walking down the aisle)
Mama thinks that I'm crazing expecting to have a "Private Moment/1st Look/Reveal" in the backyard in the midst of the chaos of the day with vendors and bridal party milling around. Maybe Mama knows best.
-We didn't get to organize our RSVPs yet, but that may just have to wait until after graduation.
-I started to organize the basement. Well, the wedding corner at least. There was a method to my madness and I want it to accessible to find what we need in the next couple of weeks. Now my bedroom is a different story. Let's not go there, ok?
*(I originally typed weekend, but it's Thursday, not a real weekend.) Also, I apologize for no pictures!
Saturday will be graduation for both Gardener Guy and I, and then a bachelorette party for my friend K! I am so excited that we have almost completed this chapter of our lives and can't wait to see what God has in store for us next!
Countdown love and all of mine!

The Countdown Continues, still.
2 months. 9 weeks. 61 days.
I don't really count down by days, or months, or even weeks. I count down by weekends. Weekends are the only times that I am back home and can really get down to business.
9 weekENDS until the Big Show!
Weekend 1: No definite plans but would like to go home to take a load of furniture.
Weekend 2: My Bachelorette Shower in KC and Baby Lisa's Prom -- you should see her dress, wowza!
Weekend 3: Gardener Guy's cousin's Wedding and my Bridal Shower at Sonita Maria's house
Weekend 4: Our 5 year dating anniversary -- I'm hoping for a dinner date!
Weekend 5: Graduation and Grad party! K's Bachelorette Party
Weekend 6: K's Wedding!
Weekend 7: Sorority Sis's Wedding/Memorial Day Weekend
Weekend 8: Does City-Wide Garage Sale count? JK. Weekend 8 will be Controlled Chaos.
Weekend 9: Wedded Bliss Begins!
I will be able to get things accomplished after Weekend 5, I'm almost positive!

The Countdown Continues.
3 months.
14 weekends.
92 days.
I don't even want to open up my The Knot page to see how far behind we are on it's suggested to-do list.
It was 41* at 6 o'clock tonight. It will warm up before June, right?
Countdown love and all of mine!
PS. The renovations commence this weekend for the wedding garden and our new home!
