Happy Wedding Day!! It's FINALLY here! Well kind of... It is not quite 5 AM and I am wide awake typing this in the dark on my touch screen phone(this is probably going to be short).
My nerves are crazy right now and the butterflies in my stomach must have the biggest, fluttery-est wings because they make me feel like I could throw up. Last night we had our rehearsal and dinner and it was great! Everyone showed up and Cary and I received lots of love and support. The toasts were sweet and I of course cried, but that was probably nothing compared to today.. I am actually wearing the brand of makeup used in the under water circus, it is supposed to stay put no matter how much saturation!
Today is going to be beautiful and I am so happy and excited this day is here! This has truly been a day i've thought and dreamed about my whole life and meeting Cary has completed this dream and started a whole new one.
For all who have followed my countdown, thanks for all the comments and support! It means a lot to have people rooting in mine and Cary's corner!

P.S. I will be posting wedding pictures asap!

Day***3***My Other Lucky Number***
My lucky number has been 22 forever, but anytime I've need a single digit lucky number it has always been "3"! pretty irrelevant, but it's a little "Lexi Fun Fact" for you!
3 days to go and that is counting today and the day of the wedding so really I only have like 43 hours til aisle time! woohoo! Sorry I have not been blogging, I have been losing my mind instead.. I have been on an emotional roller coaster and have been nauseous for the last several days and I am finally in a good place today with my stomach and my mind. I have never doubted my love for Cary or how wonderful I believe our future will be I am just so gosh darn nervous about the wedding! I am breaking out.. my nose is sooo dry... and I just feel like I look yucky, but I know on my wedding other people will make sure I look my best and I trust my wonderful Aunt Betty with my hair and the most talented makeup artist on the planet Lexie Alvis with my face! Without those two I really would be a wreck! So I got everything done for the wedding.. I don't know how, but I think everything is done! We are ready to rock and I am pumped that it all got done! There have been some minor hiccups though and while some are humorous now, at the time they were sooo annoying..
Tuesday was a BIG day for me.. I got home around 6 PM from work and I had a night of errands ahead of me. I went to JC Penney's for make up, ShopKo to check for the eyeliner I like.. they didn't have it, went to Wal Mart and got it and some nail polish, then to Kohl's for a photo album, but got a collage instead, then I went to Hobby Lobby for bubbles and a large picture frame (which they didn't have the right size). I spent way too much money that night on random stuff, but I felt like I got a ton done. I got my pictures ordered earlier Tuesday morning and they were not ready to be picked up til Wednesday, but they were the pictures intended for the photo album which is now a large picture collage instead(a photo album you don't have to thumb through). I tanned on my way home from my shopping trip and was so tired and ready for bed when I walked in at a quarter to nine. I felt good about my night though because of everything that got accomplished and I slept well.. then, Wednesday happened. I woke up late and was a mad rush to get out the door early for a conference call I needed to be on by 8:30 AM.. I managed to get out the door in decent time and was off to work feeling relieved, I went to take a sip of my coffee and spilt it all down my front.. Got to work, had a busy day and left a little after 5 for home. When I picked up Lucy I remembered that I still needed to pick up my pictures that I ordered the day before so I went by Hy-Vee to grab them, the girl handed me my envelope and I drove home. When I got there I opened the envelope and starred into the eyes of a complete stranger! They were someone else's pictures!! I then hopped back in my car, drove to Hy-Vee, retrieved the correct pictures and went home to put them into the collage. I was so excited with how it looked when I layed it out so I flipped it over removed the back and started putting the pictures in. After i was finished I flipped it over and the front of the frame was cracked! I couldn't believe it.. it was almost 7 o'clock by this time and I did not want to have to run out for another $35 collage so I guess it is just going to have to work.. I spent the rest of my night cleaning for the company that would start arriving Thursday(today) afternoon and finally at 11PM I decided to go over my personal stuff I need for the wedding.. After taking inventory once I noticed all the things I bought from one of the stores from Tuesday were missing.. I checked all over the house and can't find them anywhere.. I think i threw out an entire bag of stuff somehow and the trash went out Wednesday so if it did go in the trash it is gone forever.. I am still hoping it turns up, but I will probably have to run out to another store tomorrow for those few items.
Ok, so enough complaining.. things are going to go wrong and all those things are so minor! I am such a fortunate person and I thank God everyday for all the blessings I have. I am less than 43 hours from marrying my best friend and soul mate and that alone is one of the most beautiful blessings a person can have and I know how lucky I am everyday I spend with Cary. He has stood by me and helped me so much through out this process and has never acted like I was crazy (even though I know I have been at times). He just asks me how he can help and he does things without me asking just because he knows it'll make my life easier. I think that is so important in a relationship to ask yourself everyday how you can make your significant other's life better that particular day. I believe that doing this will keep a relationship strong and full of love and I think Cary must do that.. maybe not consciously, but every day he makes me feel special and loved.
I'm shooting for one more pre-wedding blog! Stick with me guys all the prayers and support at welcomed as I begin the biggest journey of my life!
