Falling Into Place

Well, I think it's about time for another update on the craziness that is often my life. It is crazy, but beautiful. Ironically, that is the title of an old late 90's movie with Kirsten Dunst!

Last-minute wedding details are finally coming together. Friday we printed wedding invitations--they look great! On Saturday, I went with two of my favorite people to pick out my bridal jewelry that I get to wear for free on the day of my wedding! :) Today I have finalized our guest list and I know EXACTLY how many stamps I need to purchase to mail the necessary invitations.

Decorations have been discussed, my wedding dress is waiting for me to pick it up in Atlanta, and photography shots have been discussed. . .from Chinese take-out to pictures in trunks, it's all coming to a close.

75 days.

I really have enjoyed the planning, but I am ready to execute. That's just who I am. I like to plan out each detail of something and then execute. Now I feel like I am just hanging around. However, there are still things that jump out at me, reminding me that I have plenty left to do. From addressing envelopes to placing a monogrammed stamp directly in the middle of a wedding program, I will manage to keep myself very busy with wedding planning right up until Nov. 21. Hopefully, more like the 20th. There is no need to do stuff the day of except enjoy getting my hair done with my favorite people. Ahh, hair salon photography. Great stuff.

I am so thankful for the wonderful people who have helped me through all of the planning. . .the people who met with me to work on things, the people who helped me choose just the right font, and the people who selflessly volunteered to help with flowers, decorations, photography, food, etc. I have been blessed with so many wonderful things throughout this whole process, and even though I stress out at times (mainly over money), it has all been a great deal of fun.

My fiance is the most wonderful person in the world and I am anxious to start our life together as a covenent family. I pray that together, we will share the love of Christ with even more fervence. And I pray that our marriage shows Christ's love for the church as it should! :)
