What else...?

What else am I planning right now with my long engagement? Lots of things!!
For one, I'm getting back into shape...the healthy way. No crash diets, just eating healthy and working out.
Here's me and Dee last year on our 5-year anniversary:
We headed up the coast to central California and did some mountain biking and sight-seeing.
Here's us this past August camping with our dogs (Cody and Jake):
Like I said in my intro blog, I've been losing weight. I'm actually back down to the weight I was when I met Dee! But my body isn't the same. I'm working on toning it up now. I'm thinking about doing the boudoir pics to give to him as a gift before the wedding. With our long engagement, I don't have to worry about working out so hard in a short amount of time.
Other things:
1. As you can see from our camping trip (or maybe you can't really see that well) my hair is short. I want to grow out my hair. I've always pictured myself with long flowing hair on my wedding day; or I'm thinking about an updo, but you need hair for that too.
2. I'm learning how to draw vector shapes on Inkscape (a great open source program similar to Adobe Indesign) because I'm desiging our wedding invitations and other paper related stuff.
3. Designing our invitations
4. Saving money! more time = more time to shop around
5. Searching for the right seamstress to alter my mom's wedding dress - this has been tough; I've started already...will divulge with these details in another blog.
Time is flying by though!! I can't believe how fast it's going. Kind of scary and exciting at the same time.
For other long engagement brides, what are you guys doing now to prepare for the wedding?
