OH MY Goodness!

I don't know what would happen if this happened to me... I would obviously be happy, but then very worried. Oh my! At least they found it!


Here is the link to the article.

Not a lot

Well, honestly not a lot has been going on. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing - haha!

I have some senior portraits to do tomorrow. That will be fun. Easter is always fun!

I just got my invitation to my "shower" if you get my drift... so fun and they are so cute!!

My parents gave D and I their wedding present to us this week ~ a wonderful night's stay in a hotel downtown the night of our wedding! :) And - it's on the river side :) SO NICE and one more thing that we can cross off our list!

We are meeting with our pastor this Tuesday and also meeting with a lady who will help us with decor on Wednesday. I have to schedule a meeting with our Florist, Baker, and Reception Venue to take care of last minute details and changes.

GIRLS - Do I ever need to work out. I started doing WW for like a month. I think I had lost somewhere between 3-5 lbs. That's because I was also working out. I have not gone to work out since LAST Monday! It makes me sick... and the worst part of it is - when I am stressed (which this week definitely brought on) I start to eat more and worse. Some people eat less, why can't that be me!? But, I have gained weight again.

So, I hope to get back on track. I don't need to drop a lot of pounds at all... I like my size, just want to tone up and loose some middle section :) especially for the honeymoon! So, really just work out as much as I can :)

I can't believe that next week we'll be in the 30's in our countdown!!!!

1 1/2 months EXACTLY!

Sorry for my Debbie-Downer post the other day. It was just all these things that built up and I just cracked :)

But, today is much better, better things have happened AND because we only have 1 1/2 MONTHS LEFT!!!! HOW did it get to this point... it's SO CLOSE!!!

After this weekend, I can count on ONE HAND how many weeks are left until the wedding!!! AHH!

Just one of THOSE days!

It's just one of THOSE days!

ya know where you feel like everything is going wrong.

OH my gosh, I've had a really stressful day today. To preface, D is still looking for a job, about ONE MONTH to go before the wedding. We still don't know where we're living... it's all stressing me out. I'm believing God is bringing us something great. I've held together, haven't broke down, and I believe that HE will provide... when this happened...

My mom asked to eat lunch with D and I. Which is, normal. But, I had suspicions. We ordered for her and waited. She sat down and said "Well, I have some bad news" She goes on to say that the church, our church, is not going to be ready for our wedding. It has been in the construction phase for a while and was supposed to be ready by the wedding. But, God has different plans.

It's really not the worst thing that could happen... really it's not. I'm still marrying the man I love and it's still going to be a magical day. But, it just not what was envisioned - you know. You only get married once, and I had envisioned the new church. We are still marrying in our church, just in the older building. I just envisioned being in the new building. Thought about everything... the decorations... pictures that would be taken... etc.

Am I being too unreasonable to still want it in the new buliding? Am I being too crazy? They said there is a chance it could be ready - but it is slim. They are hoping it'll be ready for our wedding. The church was originally supposed to be ready Mother's Day - 2 weeks before the wedding. That was cutting it close, but now they are not sure when at all. I'm praying that if God wants it in the new building, then we will be in the new building. But, it's still hard for me.

I had a break down and have been under a cloud all day... I just want this day to be over. I want to hear some good news on all accounts. D will have a job, we have an apartment - or at least know where we'll live, that the church is ready. But, as my mom said "have faith that you will be taken care of"

So, I am trusting and having faith that God will bring us through it all. I know one day I will look back at this and laugh, or at least think to myself, "what was the problem, why was I so worried!?" But, right now, it's just a lot to take!

I wish I was home snuggled up in my bed with a good book, but... I am at work.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings. It's my therapy today :)

Weekend Recap - yes another one :)

Hey Ladies...

I am so sad to be back from such a fun weekend. But, it's ok... because that means I'm that much closer to the wedding!

Me and my mom headed north for my BRIDAL portriats!!! It was so fun and so magical and as my best friend said - "Remember to Remember" and to soak it all in... I hope I did just that! It was a blast!

After the wedding, you can view the pics here :)

So we took pictures Saturday it was a beautiful day. It was a little hot, but I'm glad we didn't do it on Sunday... Sunday it was windy and COLD!

On Sunday, my mom and I hit the Outlets :) I did some damage for honeymoon wear:


I got 3 shirts... a dress to go away in - surprise :) 

The Coach clutch in the pic is a fun story... so, I was going to see about getting a small clutch to carry around on the honeymoon.. that way D wouldn't have to lug around a wallet, plus we would be going swimming a lot, and that just doesn't add up... Wallet + Swimwear = NO :) So... I found this clutch... cute, but it was originally $89. ehh - Not so much! This coach lady said "oh, no, that's from the $39 bin" - "Where did you get this?" I showed her... she said, "we haven't seen that color green strap in a while, let me go scan it for you." She came back and said "what do you want it for?" I was like... she wants me to BID on it? haha! She said... the style is older, so it's on sale for $15!!!!!! $15 for ANYTHING COACH... for reals!!
