1 Month to go...

I can't believe how fast September came and went! It's been a fun ride and exactly one month from today, Jason and I will get to break free of these chains called planning, and just relax! First and foremost I have to give thanks to my dearest friends for planning, attending, and helping me celebrate showers and my Bachelorette party! The effort and support that has been shown warms my (and Jason's) heart and we are reminded over and over again just how blessed we are to have the family, friends, and community that we do!


The planning is under control and although it's taken on a life of its own at times, the wedding is going to be a true reflection of Jason and I, and our love for one another, with Christ at the center. It's the little things that have made the planning the most enjoyable. Songs that mean something, people we love, pictures we hold dear, and of course the food will be fantastic!


It'll be a good party, but what we can't wait for is the marriage. We know we're going to have ups and downs, and we'll have to work hard everyday at our relationship, but with understanding and God's grace I know we can get through anything. Needless to say, I'm very ready to walk down that aisle (crying happy tears) and join my groom and start our life together!


I've been practicing writing my soon to be new name, just so you know! :)

Whirlwind of a September so far...

I'm a bad blogger, but with good reason! September has been full of fun! We're all moved in and lovin' the apartment! I was offered and accepted a job with State Farm and start in 2 weeks (which is so nice because I can still plan and relax until then.) Wedding planning is going smoothly, and we've accomplished so much lately! Invites went out yesterday so be on the look out!!


We attended the Michigan vs. UConn home opener in the new and improved Big House! It was amazing! Tailgating in the morning and celebrated the Wolverines first win! I had my 2 dress fittings, and am still in love with my wedding dress! We headed to St. Joe to spend Labor day at Froelich Mountain and we had a blast (Thank you Chris!) We were also able to spend some time with out newly engaged friends Paul and Emily!!! We're so happy for them!!!


We finally met Hayden and Hudson Simms when Kris and Jess were in town last week and what beautiful boys they are! I helped Stacey with Erin's Bachelorette party and just this past weekend we watched Jason's little sister get hitched! She was gorgeous and it was a great day despite the rain.


Just a couple more days and I'll be heading to Chicago to meet up with all the girls for a night on the town for my bachelorette party! It's going to be a great time I'm sure! Stay tuned...
