Where is the time going?

Is it just me or was it just February like, last week?  And now it is JUNE?!?!  I've been engaged for months now!  Nearly 4 months!

Planning has not made any progress in a month, and I just don't know what to do to get it back on track again. Everything seems pretty daunting. Especially taking into consideration our house projects.  We finally will have some work done on the house this week, and we are almost done painting it, but the biggest, most prohibitive thing is the hardwood floor refinishing.  We've received 4 quotes already, have a 5th in the works, and cannot make a decision!  I am afraid that picking a caterer and a photographer in particular, as well as all the other vendors, for the wedding will be a similar situation, with us thinking and thinking and never making a decision.  Once the house is finished and we're all moved in, though, I won't have any excuses to not start up the planning train again.

I am also a little concerned about my floral situation (well, friend situation, really!).  My friend offered to do them, and fly all the way from Australia to attend our wedding.  However, her sister-in-law (who is American) is getting married soon as well.  I would hate more than anything for her to have to take 2 trips here, or if she could only take one, she'd have to pick family, of course!  I would 100% understand, but it would be so hard for her and I'd hate to make that happen.  It sounds like she's trying to get both our events to be in the same month at least, so she can attend them both in one trip, but only time will tell.  And honestly, the flowers mean next to nothing when compared to having a great friend be there!

Someday the wedding stuff will start falling into place and I'll have all kinds of things to report on and discuss.  But right now?  I'm just hanging in here, trying to finish one project before really starting on the next, and thanking goodness that we chose a date so far out!
