Time is ticking...
Time is ticking away from me, slowly but surely. My wedding is now about 3 months away with a few days here and there. Things are coming along. I went and picked out a design for my wedding cake last week and ordered the invitations today!!! Matt and I now have a place to live and we are able to get the keys Oct. 1st. Which is wonderful...our first showers are scheduled in Oct. so now we have a place to store all of our wonderful gifts!!! Yay!
Cousin Holly was married on Saturday and Mom has said for several months now, once this wedding takes place - don't plan another thing other than wedding details...so - well here we are starting full fledge, diving head first in!!! Holly's wedding came and has gone and now me and mom are busy bees!
Me and Matt have alot ahead of us as well...we have a kitchen table that was given to us by his aunt to sand and paint. We also have chairs to paint and our kitchen walls. I have to drag our coffee tables out of "my" storage barn Dad so willingly let me use;) I am so excited about decorating!!! We have finished our registering *I know Matt is glad* and now it's just time to wait on our gifts:)
I get to go pick up my dress this weekend which has already gotten me excited - I can't wait to see what it looks like! I mean I kind of do, but the original one I tried on was a size 10 , so I couldn't really tell what it would look like on me once it fit! So...hopefully everything will be just dandy and not too many alterations!!!
Until next time...

crazy, crazy, crazy
That explains my life lately - crazy!!!! Things have been going hectic lately with everything still trying to be planned, but aside from all of that, my life is exactly where I would want it to be! I enjoy life, family, friends, and of course my soon to be husband! I haven't blogged in a while and still really don't have the time to do so now, but I thought I would post a little something to update my page. I have another busy weekend ahead of me - so I must pour on the strength to make it through. LOL!!! I honestly do enjoy all of the planning, but I must say it will be so nice after Jan. 10, 2009 when me and my hubs will be on our plane to the island of St. Lucia!!! Can't wait for all the peace and maybe some serenity. Until next time...

Monday Blog
Today is Monday and it's back to work!!! After a busy weekend it was nice to come back and have a little breather:) Wow, who knew work would be a place where you could catch a breath after being so busy! On Friday me and Mom had to go meet with the rental co. & the caterer. And that was pretty much an all day thing. Tonight we were suppose to meet with a lady about invitations; but since my mother just had surgery and it was her first day back to work she was rather tired. So, we rescheduled for next week. I have been getting my list together with all of the people we plan to invite and trying not to leave anyone out - talk about a tough job!!!
This weekend me and my honey have ALOT to do...we have to go to the jewelry store to pick out bands and drop my beautiful ring off to be sized, then we have to go register one more place for upcoming showers, and then off to Kinston we go to pick out tuxes and get honey fitted. Not to mention me and mother have to go to Smithfield sometime this weekend for me to look at and try on the bridesmaid dress I have picked out to make sure it is the exact one I want before I take my bridesmaids to Smithfield the following Saturday.
Now about a place to live, me and honey had the hardest time trying to figure out what we should do starting out. We couldn't decide whether or not to rent, or buy a small cheaper house. Being that we don't really know where we want to settle down for awhile at yet, we have come to the conclusion we are going to rent. Another thing we did not want to do is rent an apartment or townhouse - nothing against those, but I just didn't like the fact of coming home to an apartment/townhouse complex parking lot and having to leave and come home by myself sometimes at night. I guess my mother and honey have scared me to death of everything that possibly could happen or go wrong, so now I'm extra precautious. So, very fortunate enough there is a small 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house coming up for rent the first of this month and it's right down the road from my mother and father. We feel like for right now that would be the best place for us. Especially to figure out what we want - and let's not forget to save money for a future house one day!!! We are supposed to go look at it sometime next week so keep in your prayers that it will be the Lord's will and something we just fall in love with because it's just so right!!! Of course, I'm so ready - my room is overflowing with stuff that needs to go in "our" house. I'm ready to decorate. I guess I followed after my mother:) And I have to say that's not a bad thing!!! She has wonderful talent in that area!!!
Until next time...

Wedding Plans
I am beginning to start my wedding plans. I am getting married to the man of my dreams on January 10, 2009 at 3:00p.m. We have been dating almost 3 years now. September 17, 2008 will make it official. We knew we didn't want a long engagement and me being the fairytale romantic I am already had my whole wedding planned out, so we got engaged the last part of June and will be married in January. I am so excited, I know not to go into a marriage thinking everything will be nice and rosey all of the time...but I can't help but anticipate the day that it will be just me and him. Don't get me wrong, I will probably miss living at home with my family from time to time, but just the thought of us being a family and starting a full family together is bliss.
As far as wedding plans go...let's just say they are going. I try not to let myself get too stressed it just feels like everything is planned out in my head but nothing is being done. Which things are being done, just slowly. I have my dress ordered, my photographer booked, meetings set up with caterers, invitations, and rentals, reception site reserved, and lots of little things ordered and coming in. I get so excited and then I get so tired. Who knew it could be this much work, even though I know everything I want. So, pray for me that I will get everything I need to done and efficiently, so that this wonderful day will be all that I have ever dreamed of. Until next time...
