Exactly TWO WEEKS!!!!

So excited, the countdown has been on since the day we decided our day, and we are finally in the home stretch!!! I've started to put the centerpieces together, just to sorta fiddle around with some ideas, and here's what I've come up with:


The colors look a little off because the camera on my phone isn't very good, but this is what I've got so far, and one more but we don't have the flowers to put in them yet :)

In other news: I finally got a job, well another job, because I'm still "technically" employed by a different company, but I don't get any hours from them.


I'm going to be a kiddie photographer!! Haha I'm so excited though!! It'll be nice to be able to bring in a little money for my man and I :) I'm excited to start working doing two things I love, well I'm not doing the children (because that's illegal, and disgusting) But I sure do love taking pictures, hopefully this doesn't ruin it for me!! :)

Twenty Four Days and Counting!!

I can't believe how close it's getting to the happiest day of my life!!! I am so very blessed that this wonderful man came into my life :) He is so very sweet to me, constantly telling me how beautiful and amazing he thinks I am, despite how many times I roll my eyes at him. I can tell just by the way he looks at me that he just wants to give me the world, and all the love and happiness he possibly can. I love that he puts up with me, not that I'm super hard to please or needy or anything like that; I just happen to be extremely indecisive and I have always been such a closed off person, which a lot of times he respects, but sometimes he doesn't, and I need that!! He understands me more than I understand myself sometimes.

But what I love most, is that we're friends too. We can just hang out, and be sarcastic and weird with each other. Like last night, we had a Nerf gun war, and ran all over the house hiding, dodging bullets and sneaking up on each other. Which was so much fun, and I felt like I actually pseudo-accomplished something I had pinned on Pinterest  :)  Then, we went outside planning on just shooting air-soft guns in the backyard. We ended up going scorpion hunting with his brother, using the guns and a pool stick :) Which was super fun.

I can't wait for the rest of my life with him, we're gonna have so much fun I can feel it :) He truly is one of my best friends, and way more than I deserve sometimes. I've been so blessed to have such a wonderful model for an amazing marriage, thanks to to my parents. They have what they call a "Disneyland Marriage." Which loosely translates to being perpetually in the "honeymoon phase" and I hope and pray for that every day.

I'm so very grateful for all the people in my life, especially for the one who got James and I together :) I never would have imagined I would have fallen so madly in love at this young age. But I can't wait for the rest to come!

More and More Wedding Stuff!!

Well we finally did our engagement photos a couple weeks ago, and ordered the invites. Now I'm in the process of addressing them all, and putting them all in the mail. What a time consuming task! I mean, I've done invites and stuff before, but I never had to get it done asap. But I got a referral from a recently married friend for a "Design Your Own Announcement" website. I was really impressed with the quality. 123print.com! It works very well. Besides me being extremely particular about them, (from doing graphic design for a few years) and having a tad bit of trouble with wording, (since the MIL wanted to have both sets of parent's names on it) it was really easy to do! And I've had several people tell me how cute they are :) Turned out  much better than I expected!!




Now I've got to work on the centerpieces for the tables, and picking out leis. Which is proving to be a little more stressful than I want it to be. But I'll live. And I've gotta do cake. Which I have no clue about. Awesome haha :) I've just gotta remember its only 35 days away!! I'm definitely ready to be done planning, but I can't wait to be able to spend the rest of my life with my husband to be :) which makes this all worth it. Also knowing that we will be in Hawaii the next day helps a lot too :) Wish me luck!! I hope I don't lose my mind in this crazy process.
