I'm a little stressed

I have a feeling that I will have sequals to this post.
Anyway I'm a little stressed. With all the planning, thinking of money and taking care of day to day things (keeping the house up, work, etc.) I'm a little overwhelmed. Eli works about 14 hours a day Monday through Friday so I'm pretty much on my own with planning. He wants to be involved, but can't make all the phone calls and research that I can do in the morning before I go to work (or at work when things are slow :) )
Then I decided that I want to get our engagement photos taken before Christmas so we can give them as gifts. So add that to the list. Not to mention having to ask for money from Eli's dad for the wedding- very stressful.
Then yesterday while chatting with my sister I decide it would be so fun to have a dinner with the wedding party to thank them for being a part of the day!
Blah. I always do this to myself. Try to do everything at once.
Eli reminded me last night that we're at a really good spot for having a year left to plan. We have a ceremony and reception spot. A caterer and cake maker picked out. The officiant. The wedding party. I'm going dress shopping at the end of the month.
Right now eloping sounds good. And I'm only a month into planning. Help.

ha ha, take a deeeeep breathe. Make a list and start plowing through it. No need to do it all at once. Have you signed on to www.theknot.com. They have a great checklist & give you an idea how far out you need to do it. My favorite thing about lists is getting to check them off. You'll be good!!

Ha! I told you! Meg agrees with me that The Knot has a great checklist! :) Don't stress too much (though I think we both knew this was coming). Eli's right. You're in great shape. And if you wanna do the dinner party thing in the cities, I can host it and take that off your plate. Hang in there.
