My name is Jess, and I'm a procrastinator.

I admit it. I am a procrastinator.

Procrastination refers to the counterproductive deferment of actions or tasks to a later time. Psychologists often cite such behavior as a mechanism for coping with the anxiety associated with starting or completing any task or decision.[1] There are three criteria for a behavior to be classified as procrastination: it must be counterproductive, needless, and delaying.[2] (Wikipedia)

If you gave me a deadline of 6 months from now, I probably wouldn't start until right before the 6 months was up. I can make deadlines, but I think I secretly like the stress of racing to finish things and the pressure. But, no one should have told me I had a year to finish my wedding invites. It's not that I'm ungrateful. It's not that I'm trying to be rude. I just think I find excuses of other things to do and the thought of having to write out SO many makes me ill. I want to take the time to be considerate and thank everyone for their gifts since everyone was SO generous and thoughtful.

So before Jarrett officially killed me (because yes, he is NOT a procrastinator) I finally went and got my thank you's and the proof has arrived for me to share. Ironically, I ended up picking from the same company as my wedding invitations.

In honor...

I think I'm an artist

Since I've been super late posting an invitation picture...

It's been a while...

My sincere apologies to anyone out there that actually reads this every day for not updating lately. It has been a little hectic at work and I was traveling last week...

So, I decided to let you all in on some exciting news, my invitations have arrived!!!! I still haven't seen them (I got the email 5 minutes ago), but I cannot wait. I am not going to upload a picture until after they've been sent. I want it to be a surprise to our attendees and then once they've arrived, I'll upload it for all of you who won't be there. I plan to send them the first week of June...which feels like SO long away, but it's already April 21st.

Next, I have to give a shoutout to one of my bridesmaids, Veronica, who got engaged on Friday! They are so cute, and she was SO excited. It's fun to have someone to talk to who can relate, so I think I'm obsessed with her engagement... haha. But seriously, congrats guys!

Also, I officially booked my hair and makeup trial for May. I am having it done by my favorite couple--Bennie & Rich. As many of you have noticed, I've been growing my hair out. It's been awhile since it has been this long...and it's starting to get annoying... but hopefully it will be worth it. I've been looking around at some styles and thought I would share with you what I am thinking and get any recommendations/ideas/feedback etc. I won't be having flowers, but I want a low bun type thing that looks loose.
