We have today off because it's Election Day on Grand Cayman. M & I can't vote because we're ex-pats, but we can certainly enjoy a short week and a day by the pool!!!
With this time off, I've been daydreaming a little while I sip my coffee about what's coming up in the near future for us... I'm so excited, I must share!!!
Today is May 20th... One month from today, on June 20th, M & I will both have the day off work... we will wake up late and head immediately to Spa Esprit where I will have a wax, mani-pedi, facial and a massage. M will have a man facial and man massage. It will be heavenly and just what we need to get us relaxed for what lies ahead.
We will then head straight home to finish packing and relax as much as possible.
At 5am we will wake up and head to the Cayman International Airport for our flight 
And in my wildest dreams, this is our plane... but in reality it is just a boring ole normal white plane...
And at 7:30 that evening, we'll land here:
In Cincinnati and get into our rental car to drive here:
My hometown... where we'll spend 2 days with my family getting things ready and enjoying their company and my mama's good cooking... cuddling with my sis's new baby, swimming in the family pool... you get the drift.Then we will get back in our rental car (AGAIN AT 5am - SUCKS! but so worth it!!!) and drive to Batavia, OH to get our marriage license... then I'll go for my final fitting and after that, we'll check in here:
The Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza!!! (so fancy - whoop whoop!)After some R&R, M&I and maybe a couple of bridesmaid buddies (my BFF's) will head to this glorious establishment for a yummy dinner:
On Wednesday, after my hair and make-up trial (and maybe a little shopping???) we'll pick up the future in-laws at the airport and take them for a fun dinner here:
The following morning we will check in here, Disney's Grand Floridian Spa & Resort!!!!
And spend time playing here:
Frollicking here:
Riding the movies here:
Exploring here:
Staying cool at Blizzard Beach....
Thursday, we'll collect the tuxes and the freshly steamed veil just in time for our BBQ themed rehearsal dinner at Montgomery Inn at the Boathouse!!!
This place looks too fab - with views of the Ohio River and Historic Mount Adams as well as the best BBQ in the tri-state area, I'm sure this dinner won't disappoint!!!
Then comes the big day!!! We'll have our breakfast in The Julep Room, attend hair and make-up appointments and go to the venue for our wedding & reception! Eek!!! Just 37 days from today!!!!

We've been so good, budgeting, staying in, saving our money and making plans... We don't go out, we don't shop much unless it's wedding related... we've put everything we've got - physically, emotionally and financially into really treating ourselves to the wedding celebration we really want!!! Not just the day, but the week before and the honeymoon after!!!
With all this denying myself and the time off, is it any wonder I'm daydreaming the day away about all the fun in store??? I just can't wait!!!!
xoxo,
Pink Julep!
