SO, My blogging habits suck. But I dont care. Honestly, life is just too busy and too amazing to stop and write sometimes. Wedding planning is full swing. We've bought the dress, the suit, the accessories, the cake topper, the flowers, half the centerpieces, half of the honeymoon, the toasting glasses, card box, and im sure more. We're ahead of schedule, and doing INCREDIBLY well on a budget. I have found that guest lists have been some of the hardest things so far. Seriously. Having to pick and choose and worry about people feelings knowing that you ultimately only have so much room and so many invitations....its hard. I hate feeling like "they're going to be offended if I dont invite them". But at the same time, we do all we can do about it. I think we're basically finalized...finally. Its a good feeling.
Thanks to our friend David Stevens, bless him, we were able to get our custom designed invitations printed for free!!! How amazing is that!?!? We were stoked about the discounted price but upon picking them up they told us to thank Dave. I couldnt thank him enough. I feel so blessed to have these invitations taken care of. Thank you Lord for hearts like Dave.
Our Bridesmaid dresses were $98 dresses that they got for $26. Seriously? Yes. We are kicking ass at saving money all around. Our venue is free (thank you Pastor Randy). Our marriage certificate is $5 instead of $55. Everything is just coming together. We're going to have a beautiful wedding and its not going to cause anyone to be broke for months afterward. Its a beautiful thing.
We booked our honeymoon this week. First night at The Skirvin Hotel. And then we're going to Santa Fe for a week and staying here. We cannot wait! And whats adorable is that Jer was given some bonds by his grandparents a long time ago. Well they've built lots of interest by now and we were able to cash one and pay for the honeymoon. I think its precious that their gift given to a child has now paid for a grown mans honeymoon.
Work is good. Its picking up and getting a bit busy. But busy is good. Busy means more money. More money means less (wedding) stress. Or bill stress considering I just switched to Sprint (no more AT&T) and havent gotten my big first bill yet. Im sure it will be large and that will be on top of the big bill I have for cancelling with AT&T. If it werent for these bills, I could be buying the RE9 set at Arbonne that I want so that my skin will be flawless for the wedding. But no.
Im starting HCG on April 2nd with my dear friend Lacy for a wedding round. We're both going to be shedding for the wedding. :) Im pretty motivated right now. Ive been working on a schedule. Nothing super intensive but enough to sweat. This morning I even work up early enough to go walk peanut in the neighbborhood. It was nice. I like the feeling of getting healthy and losing weight. Its a very positive thing. Im super excited that I will have a closer in body (Cyndi and Tia are always close in spirit) partner for the HCG this time. We're going to look fierce on my wedding day thats for sure! ahahah
MY MOM IS GETTING MARRIED!!!! Yes amazing right? We are so so excited for her and Preston. Theyre the most precious thing. So mid May she will be a married woman again. God is so great for bringing the two of them together.
Life is good. God is better. And Im just counting down the days until I am a wife. I imagine its the second greatest thing to being a mom....and I cant wait.
