Wow, it's been forever since I've even had time to THINK about a wedding blog post! God has been so good and blessed me with a job that keeps me busy 99% of the time. If you know me at all, you know how miserable I am to not be swamped. I love being busy, and am happiest when I barely have time for myself. Adam has been super busy as well, finishing up this semester, and working every hour in between. Luckily, being busy also means the time flies by just a little quicker.
We are officially in the 100's!
Only 199 days to go! 199 sounds a bit more daunting than something in the 200's or 300's. It's hard to believe we've been engaged for over 6 months now. I swore when we got engaged that the time would pass as slow as molases--not the case. I remember May 16 as if it were yesterday, and know I always will, but I also know that once the clock strikes January 2012, the big day will really be here before we know it!
Quite a few things have developed since last time I wrote. Let's see.
First, we took our engagement photos with the always fabulous Sarah Barlow. It was such a blast. I absolutely love the results! Here are a few of our favorite edited ones, really, just a few! We loved them all!!:
(Adam's favorite...what are we doing? Our first..Tango?)
And now...here is a small chunk of some of our favorite unedited ones...outtakes and all!
And there you have it. Never before seen.
Back to wedding updates.
My dress and veil came in, and I got to go try it back on a couple week ago with my mom, sister in law, and two of my bridesmaids. I. LOVE. IT. It is still more than perfect, and Adam is going to just melt. I can't wait to go back for fittings in Jan/Feb.
We also just ordered our Save The Dates, and don't worry, the picture on them is not on this blog post so it will be a surprise. They're super cute, totally us, and I can't wait to send them out!
Our videographer should be booked sometime in the next week, and I am so excited with who we are using. His name is Jake Morgan, a fellow Lipscomb alum, and he is extremely talented! It will be oh so great, I just know it.
I think we've decided to start out in the Nashville area for the first two years or so, until we get fully on our feet and decide where we want to go plant ourselves next. But who know's. That could totally change!! We've got our whole lives ahead of us, and we're so excited to start thinking about the possibilities!
The other day my mom and I explored several apartment complexes. The result: holy moly LIVING is expensive! Whew.
For crafts, I have two headboards in mid-craft down in the garage just waiting to be finished. Should be interesting to see how those turn out!
I guess that's about it. There are some little things in the works here and there, but the majority of things will have to wait until Feb/Mar to really start cracking.
GETTING EXCITED!!!!
And as one of my crazy 'maids said jokingly tonight, "you're officially in one-derland!!"
