What a Day!

Ok woke up at 8am...Mom fed Abby and I got her bag ready for CLC (Mother's day out), got her off to school...she cried :(, ran some errands, worked out, now gonna get in the shower, go get Abby a new car seat, grab lunch, pick her up at 2, hopefully go look at a new car :/, and figure out a time when my bridesmaids can get measured and get there dresses since neither have any money right now lol. Waiting on another one's measurements so I can order it for her bc she doesn't live here! Then some how find time to get my nails done! Ok so this blog wasn't really about the wedding I just needed to vent!

Proud of katie

So i hear everything is going good at home with katie and abby and you do not know how proud of katie i am. SHe has been handleing everything really well without me and its good to know that. I am currently trying to get my friends addresssess for the mailing list and i have a few but im still waitng on a bunch other ones to get back with me. Im really excited about getting home and finishing all of this with her. Oh and katie's birthday is coming up soon!!!! I need to think of a good present for her. Ok ill be back soon!

Here comes the bride...!

So all the dress stuff has been taken care of! I stayed with the one I wanted originally. I just had to try it on again and see myself in it! Also got the bridesmaids taken care along with my flower girl and house party! Yea the house party gets special dresses to bc one is my niece to be Nikki who will also light candles with my cousin Jack, and my little cousin claire and both need to feel special! What little girl doesn't like putting on a pretty dress!?!

I feel like Brett Farve!

Ok so lets start out by saying the Save the Dates got here yesterday...WOW they turned out fantastic! Booked a DJ...(shout out to Colby Logan with Astounding Sound). Ok so most of my To Do list Emily (the wedding coordinator (shout out...Blessed Unions)) gave me to do is getting knocked out fast, most of my things to do for October are pretty much taken care of. I'm thinking I need to slow down a bit though or Adam wont have anything to help me with bc it will be all done by next week lol! Now on the other hand when it comes to my dress I'm not to sure. I picked one out put the deposit down to hold it and have an appointment to get my measurments and get the dress ordered for tommorrow. BUT! I'm not so sure about the dress anymore. The more I think about it the less I really want it. I't BEAUTIFUL and traditional but omg is it heavy! And mom is no help bc she gave me bridal magazines which had dresses in it that I loved to and so now I have another appointment tonight to continue looking for dresses to make sure the one I have picked out is the one I really want! At the same time my aunt and mom the the dress I "have". It really is pretty...uhhhhh see how this is a Brett Farve moment?

New at this!

Ok so I'm new at this blogging thing and aparently I have to invite ppl to follow me? So basically I've just been blogging to myself lol. Well anyway...got the guest list finalized and typed and printed. Missing some address but I'm hoping mom will have the ones I dont. Gotta couple names for a DJ if yall have any suggestions throw'em my way! Think mom found a photographer too! Things are coming along. Oooo I get me save the dates TODAY!!! So be looking for them in the upcoming months! Friday I get my dress measurments and get that ordered! Wow things are really starting to happen now! Just like 9 months to go...(thats for the wedding...I'm NOT pregnant lol...seriolusly I'M NOT!!!)

Almost done!

So here i am sitting in my room in IRAQ right now talking to Katie. I only have about 4 months left and i get to come Home. I am so looking forward to the day when i get home to my 2 girls! I dont know if you guys have ever tried to buy a house and plan a wedding when you are in Iraq but let me tell you that it is not fun. I would so much rather be there with the love of my life then in this place. When i get back i will be getting out of the military and Katie and I will be able to start our lives together the right way. We have been waiting for normal a long time. We have the most beautiful baby girl you could have and the best house. In case katie didnt mention it Our reception hall has a pretty important significance. We ended up meeting for the first time becuase of a country club called Starlight and now we will beging our new life at the Starlight room. It only means that we were supposed to be together. With all the big stuff out of the way it is all down hill from here. Who is exicted that were getting married. I AM!

So Much to do...

Ok so we have the church...we have a reception hall...and I have my dress (we technically I don't but I put a deposit on it lol) Ok so may be I got the big stuff out of the way, but there is still a ways to go on this wedding. I'm trying my hardest so stay under the budget but who knew wedding were so gosh darn expensive!
