But tomorrow is our work shower and Saturday is my bachelorette (and I’m working on something for James). The wedding is just two weeks from Saturday!

I still need to talk to the florist and redo my hair trial (I was not happy with the first go round, but I think I know how to fix it). And a few other odds and ends. I feel a bit scattered.

Tomorrow is our walk through at the Wake Robin, too, and last night we met with our DJ. My dad called about 30 minutes too late, but he finally picked a song for our dance (which has been stuck in my head all day).

It’s going to be a crazy two weeks!

We’re pretty much set on “Banana Pancakes” by Jack Johnson for our first dance. Jack Johnson was the first music we shared together, and banana pancakes are our favorite breakfast to make together. Not to mention the part where he tries to convince her to stay in bed; that is so us.

The other songs we want played at some point:
