Day 102 Happy: Shirts and stuff
Not only do we have bridesmaids in three different states for the wedding, but we also have groomsmen in three different states! Marc's best man, Justin, lives here in Florida, my brothers live in Georgia and John lives in South Carolina. Needless to say, that makes coordinating things a little bit difficult sometimes. My mom has been asking me what kind of shirts that they boys needed to wear. We didn't know where we were going to get them from, and since I picked ivory shirts (because I want to get an ivory dress) I didn't want them to all just get a shirt from wherever, because they would end up being different colors of ivory (does that make me ridiculously bridezilla? Maybe, but I think I'm pretty easygoing on most things, so just give me this one, okay?).
Today after work, Marc and I met Justin at the mall to pick their shirts and look for wedding shoes for me. They found their shirts pretty easily... they are ivory and stripey and look really nice. AND (bonus happy) they were on sale! Since they were at JC Penny, it should be pretty easy for all of the other guys to find the same ones. Just in case, I am going to take Marc's shirt with me to Georgia tomorrow (BONUS HAPPY) so that I can show my Mom and we can at least try to find shirts for the boys that are the same color. I didn't find any shoes that I liked for the wedding, so that was kind of a bust, but I have time.
I leave for Georiga after class tomorrow! I am so excited... not only do I get to go shopping for my wedding dress with my Mom and sister, but I get to see the boys and Daddy, too!
Edit 9/12: Since my bridal appointment took no time, we were able to go to the mall in Georgia afterwards to hang out and look around. We went to JC Penny up there and got the same exact shirts (still on sale!) for Jared and Jacob. Now all we have to do is have John get his, and we are all done with the boys!

Netflix! (101/365)
Day 101 Happy: Netflix (and the obsessions that accompany it).
I love Netflix on demand. We have it hooked up through our Wii, and we not only have an instant queue full of movies and TV shows that we have lined up to watch, but it has tons of other things available directly through the Wii to watch that aren't in our instand queue. It's like doubling your DVD collection, but everything is held inside of the Wii instead of taking up a whole bunch of room in your living room (and it's definitely a lot easier on the wallet).
While I have enjoyed expanding the movies that are available for me to watch at home, I really like having TV shows on demand. Marc and I are totally obsessed with The Office, and have watched four and a half seasons in the two weeks. It is hilarious! I feel like I finally know what everybody else is talking about. If you haven't watched The Office, I would definitely recommend it... just don't get discouraged after the first couple of episodes... it gets way better in the second season.
I think after I finish watching it, I am going to watch the British version, which is also available on Netflix instant.

100 DAYS! (100/265)
Day 100 Happy: The Happiness Revolution!
It's hard to believe that this is the 100th entry for my yearlong Happiness Revolution project. This also means that I am 24 years and 100 days old (gasp!). While this project seems a little daunting sometimes (I mean, there are just some days when it seems like there is literally nothing to be happy about), it is a lot of fun and has helped me to see the silver lining, if you will.
There are only 265 days left of the project, and I have a really good feeling that I am going to have a lot of happy things to write about, especially in the next few months. Between Halloween, the wedding, Thanksgiving, Christmas, seeing my family a whole bunch, and the honeymoon (which may or may not happen... I'll let you know as we come to more decisions), there is a lot of stuff to look forward to coming up.

Workout! (099/365)
Day 99 Happy: A good workout.
In general, I hate working out. However, with my wedding coming up, it's either do or die. I want to lose weight before I have to stand up in front of everybody in my dress, so I guess I don't really have a choice anymore whether to work out or not. So, I decided to man up and just do it... and it actually feels really good. While the actual workout itself doesn't feel amazing, how I feel afterwards is well worth it. Now, if I can just remember that the next time I try and convince myself to work out, I will be all set!
Wedding dress shopping is in less than a week!

Flowers!! (098/365)
Day 98 Happy: Wedding bouquet making.
Today, my lovely bridesmaids Angela and Sarah came over after I got off of work and we assembled the bouquets for my bridesmaids and myself for the wedding. Marc and I decided to get fake flowers instead of real flowers and ended up spending around $150 on fake flowers and supplies to make the bouquets (Bonus Happy, since real flowers would have most likely been $150 just for my bouquet!). Not only was it nice to get a wedding-related craft out of the way, but it was so great to be able to spend time with two of my friends, just sitting around and chatting and having girl time.
As of tomorrow, there are only two months until the wedding! I'm so excited I could barf!
