I've liked October since before it was trendy to like October.

Yes, it is October first. For some reason October suddenly seems to be the favorite month of 90% of my Facebook friends. I mean, it is a month of awesome. But I'm wondering when loving fall became such a cliché.

Now that it's October, my wedding almost seems like it's in the foreseeable future. Almost. Not quite. Still over a year away. Next October.

Things to do this month:

1) Wedding dress shopping with my sisters, mom, and future mom-in-law.
2) Mail out Save the Dates.
3) Set up a wedding registry. (Bed, Bath, and Beyond maybe?)
4) Finalize the wedding party.
5) Schedule a food tasting at our wedding reception venue.
6) Visit Hicks nursery, see Otto the ghost, and get pumpkins.
7) Figure out an awesome Halloween costume.
8) Do as much fall-y fun stuff as possible.
9) Stop working so much Do lots of pay-per-piece work so that I can afford a wedding dress.
10) Be patient.

Plus about a million other things. That's all that's making it on the list before bedtime, though.
