my favorite word

...is PARCEL! 

as in,  a PARCEL was received by me today.  and in this PARCEL were our wedding invitations!!!  they are gorgeous.  i am going to frame one and hang it on my wall, i love it so much!  perfection.  i am honestly going to call green kangaroo tomorrow and thank them for doing such a lovely job.  maybe it's everyday for them, but they just made my march!  if you EVER are in need of paper products, please check out the green kangaroo!  great prices, beautiful products, wonderful to work with. 

the other thing that is making my march is...not in a PARCEL.  rather, it's a person...by the name of sherill.  my mommy's coming to visit this weekend!  she arrives on friday and i can't wait.  i am ecstatic that she's coming.  we're going down to cincinnati for my first dress fitting on saturday morning...it's going to be so very special. 

can i tell you how wonderful my mother is?  just in case you don't know her...
one summer in college, when i was home for break, we were redoing the basement (not redecorating...this was a complete overhaul!)  it was early in the process, still in the demolition phase, and we were spending the day ripping down the ceiling tiles.  to make the process a bit more entertaining, we turned on the tv.  the movie "father of the bride" was on - which i love b-t-dub.  all of a sudden my mom turns to me, and literally sobs my name out.  i look at her in shock, ask what's wrong, and she very tearfully replies, "i'm going to give you the best possible wedding i can."  bah!  naturally, we cried/hugged it out and were fine, but that's just the kind of woman she is.  heart so big, she'll hurt herself for those she loves.

it's going to be a great weekend.
