Mega Millions!

Unless you live in outer space I'm sure by now you know that someone in Red Bud is one of the 3 winners of the mega millions lottery. Well I guess I should say someone bought a ticket in RB that is a winner. The winner has yet to come forward so it could be a stranger just passing through for all everyone knows......Since I didn't even purchase a ticket I had absolutely NO chance of winning. Lets just pretend I did win and here are the top few things I would spend some of that moolah on.

• Pay off our debt (whoo hoo I can't imagine our house being paid off only 3 years after building)
• Pay off my family's debt
• Build an inground swimming pool
• Rhett says he would buy LOTS of land
• Take some awesome vacations
• Invest a huge chunk of it
• Start a college fund for the kids I don't even have yet

Then I would quit my job! I would want to work again eventually but being a millionare would def give me the ability to just do whatever for a while. Have babies and raise them lol that's what I would do with my time! We can all dream!! Congrats to the real winnner & be smart.

Back to the real world.....Saturday I was on a mission to be wedding productive. I headed up to Farview Heights with a long list of stops to make. I went to David's Bridal to pick up Jaimee's dress. Was very excited for this!! She will be home this weekend for Easter so I can't wait for her to try it on. I find it odd that even though all the dresses were ordered at the same time only one is in. I made a stop at the mall and got some bridesmaids gifts and returned a $60 shirt that I didn't need in the first place. I went by every single craft store possible.... Michaels, Jo-Anns, Hobby Lobby, Party City, Old Time Pottery, Dollar Tree. I bought several odds & ends items. (Burlap, bow holders for pews, ribbon.) I was looking for strands of led lights that I can string through the branches I got from my Aunt Patti. That is part of the reason I hit up all craft stores looking for them. Unsuccessful & frustrating. Hobby Lobby did say that they start putting out there Christmas stuff in July so check back then. I don't want to wait till July!!!! I guess I am going to have to search online and hope I can find what I want. I went to Bed Bath & Beyond to get information about registering. I got a nice little packet of info and am starting to make a list of what I want to register for. I knew Rhett would not be interested in going along when I do the registering so my Mom is going to join me. He said we need to register at Cabela's (fat chance that is happening). He also said that I need to make sure I get some cool items & my response was, "you want cool stuff, you can come along." It will actually probably be easier if he doesn't go along. LOL

When I got home from shopping I brought every single item from the spare bedroom out into the kitchen area. That room was extremely messy and driving me bonkers. I did a little inventory of everything I have for the wedding. Organized and counted everything up. Here is what the bedroom looks like now. Much better!! I feel so much better when things are in order and not just laying randomly everywhere.

I am still trying to decide how many tables will be used at the reception hence how many centerpieces I need to get together. I have the mason jars in different sizes so I have a little variety of what they will look like.Some have burlap in the jars, some on the outside, I stuffed one with raffia, some with pinecones. The one on the far right wll have the lights strung through them. I am also going to utilize real wheat (once the time comes and it is dried out) and acorns (if I can find some). I need to walk through our pine cone treees and collect more. Since it is 90 deg out I will not be crossing that off my to do list quite yet.

I have a big loooong list of questions/decisons I need to make so when Jaimee comes home this weekend she is going to be bombarded with wedding mania!! Sometimes I just need an opinion or two. Heck I always need an opinion who am I kidding. I also need to work on the seating chart for the round tables. The list just goes on and on and on....I have no idea what I did with my time before I started planning this sucker.

I love this cute litte name place. So adorable!
