Countdown Queen

by Cait @ Beyond Bananas on May 17, 2012

I am a self-proclaimed count down queen. (Not panty queen, like my bridesmaids have deemed me).  If there is an event coming.. then it is likey I am counting down to it.

86 days until we are RELAXING on the beach in Aruba.

 

 

84 days until our wedding!!

 

 

57 days until my Bachelorette Party! FUN!

 

37 days until my second bridal shower hosted by my future mother in law.

 

 

28 days until SUMMER vacation – and saying ADIOS to second grade!

16 days until we get a new piece of storage furniture delivered so we have have a place to put all of our generous gifts!

 

 

 

9 days until I will be running the Color Me Rad 5K at in Hartford with some girl friends. Yes!

 

6 days until our field trip to the Aquarium. Field trips are exhausting. Maybe I should count down to the day AFTER the field trip.

2 days until Justin and I meet with the priest to get everything finalized for our wedding day!

2 days until I take care of the intense roots I have growing on my head. Who knows, maybe my hairdress will be able to do something about the bits of red and blue that are still in my hair.

4.5 hours until I try on my wedding dress. MY dress. Not the store’s dress.. but one that belongs to ME!

What are you counting down to?!

Enjoy your fitting! That was the time it really became “real” to me. :)

I still think it is semi-real for me! I don’t know! I LOVED my dress… but I had this vision in my head that the dress would fit perfectly. It didn’t. (That would be almost impossible)… so it was stillto long and a little too loose. I can’t wait to put it on and have it fit me like a glove!

So much excitement!

We had a color run in ATL – everyone said it was a blast. I can’t wait to do it next year when I’m all rehabbed!

OMG you’re not going to want to take off your dress once you put it on. It was the best feeling ever to put on MY wedding dress :) Have fun and don’t forget your shoes!

You were SO right. I could have just stood there looking at myself in the mirror (not in a narcissistic way.. I promise).. forever!!

I don’t think I’m counting down to anything – That’s kind of sad, huh? No major trips planned, no summer break, no field trips.. I am doing something on Tuesday, and i’ll be glad when that’s over but i’m not exactly counting down to it. — I guess it’s 68 days until marathon training starts & 167 days until marathon day… but truthfully, those aren’t things I want to count down .. i’m anxious about it and i prefer to ignore the fact that training starts soon.

Marathon training and marathons are definitely countdown worthy! If I were running any races I’d like have a countdown for that.. to!

You are going to do GREAT with marathon training.. you are an amazing runner! I bet once you get into the swing of training, you will feel better about it!

Ahhhh how freaking exciting that you’re trying on your dress! That has to make it feel so much more real! And I am going on a fieldtrip to the Baltimore aquarium on Monday with the emotional support class in which I student taught last year!

I like your countdowns! I think my countdown would have to be:

1. unti I’m done dreadful super hard summer courses
2. getting my hair done, too. It’s looking really sad!
3. until I get a nice tan – let’s hope this one happens the quickest…or the hair lol, hell, even the courses could speed up a little bit!
