5 weeks!

We are down to five weeks! That's 35 days!! I'm so excited! Everything is coming together....the getting there may be a little rough, but its coming together. :) And God is Good all the time!!! Jordan is an amazing person, just in case y'all didn't know. :) I love him so much! Its amazing how God knows exactly who each of us needs. Jordan helps me learn and grow so much. He challenges me to be more, and I'm so thankful for that. I love that we can talk about everything! I can't wait to see what God has for us as we start our lives together... it is going to be an adventure, and I CAN'T WAIT!!!

I have learned so much planning a wedding. I've learned that God does care, about everything! Even the little details like flowers, songs, and ribbon. I've learned that God will always provide just what we need. It may not be what we thought we needed, but it is just what we needed to help us grow. I've learned that a wedding ceremony and all the details of that would have to be one of the strangest ways to start a marriage. :) I think we should just get married... and forget the wedding. JUST KIDDING! A wedding stretches you and bends you and over all stresses you out, but it also helps in the process of two different people becoming one. It forces you to stop all the hussle and bussle and planning and stressing and more planning, and to make a special time just for that person your marring. And that is a skill i'm sure, will come in handy! Because, in the future, as children and other things come along we will still need to make that special time just for us. So, I guess a wedding is a good way to start a marriage. :) I have learned that Jordan is so good to me, even when I'm stressed. I've learned that i love him more everyday, as together we seek God and overcome every problem thrown our way. It has been an experience i will never forget! I have enjoyed it, but I'm ready to be married...and not planning a wedding. Haha...
well i guess I'm done rambling. :)
Lovin' my life!

I'm so excited! life has been pretty crazy, and just a little stressful lately. But God is bigger than any dress, or song! And He is also bigger than Me! Thank goodness! I went to visit with Mrs. Smithson today, i had a great time. She has so much wisdom and i love talking to her. Thursday i get my dress fitted. :) YAY! I'm ready to put it on again!

a little bit of everything

I haven't been a very faithful blogger lately. Life has been so crazy and extremely busy. The past three weeks I babysat Allison. Then there was my 18th Birthday! whoohoo! Jordan got me a hair straightener and blow drier, and a twix and a metal water bottle. My family got me two pairs of flip flops, earrings ( that I have yet to take out :) ) some really good lotion, and a pair of shorts! I had a great Birthday! Then this week is VBS. I am in the Drama this year and that...well... lets just say its interesting. :)
Tomorrow Hannah, Amy, Manda, Brandy, Kytan, Mom and I are going shoe shopping for the wedding! I'm excited! We are going to go eat at Olive Garden and I am super duper excited about that! Jordan isn't fond of Olive Garden so we don't go, tomorrow will be the first time in... oh goodness, months.
We have gotten (I'm not going to say completely cause I'm sure there is something we have missed) done with the little details of the wedding. Like napkins, cups, plates, cake server, pen, etc. That is a wonderful feeling.
We picked up our invitations Tuesday! all 280 of them! Jordan has a LOT of family. :)
We had our first marriage counseling session with Bro. Tim last night. That was good. I really enjoyed it!
Last Sunday the Mullet family spoke at church. They have an amazing testimony and I was so amazed by their lives. One thing they said that I thought was really neat was this: "we are stronger when we are weak then we are strong" and another thing was: "God is in time, on time, all the time."
Well this post is extremely random. :)
I'm going to try to post more often and maybe they will be more collected thoughts and not quite so scattered. :)

Just a post.

I haven't posted in a while. Oh well. I made a list of everything that needs to be done for the wedding between now and August. Mom and Amy helped me. When I actually wrote everything I could think of that I need to do, it is kind of a big list. I love being able to just look at it and know what needs to be done. I have 81 days to get it all accomplished. :) that is 11 weeks and 4 days. YAY!

OH! I think I forgot to put on here that the purlins are FINISHED!!! We are waiting on a few more details about the land, and then we will finally start. :) Our yard is covered in grass. I'm going to have to mow before to long.

Well, I don't really have anything else to say, maybe this is why I haven't posted in a while.

Odds and ends.

So, we got a lot of little things for the wedding done Wednesday. We now have: our guest book, stuff for flower basket, all candles, goblets, flower petals, ribbon, and some other little things. It was a lot of fun. Jordan got to come with us and we were gone ALL day! It was exhausting! :) We made lots of memories (we almost died lol). We got a lot of good deals too! That made me happy. We got our passports for our honeymoon!! :) YAY!!! Fun stuff! There isn't to much left to do. Just a few more details. Getting closer! :) Lovin' my life! ~me

I am so excited!! We got Jordan and the grooms men's shirts and the usher's shirts Yesterday!! Jordan tried his on, he looked really good! And the best part, we got them on sale and then on top of the sale we got 20% off!!! oh yeah! So, the usher's shirts that originally cost $40 cost me $15!!! David's and Steven's and Grant's shirts were originally $17.99 I got them for $10.00 with an extra 20% off!!! Jordan's and the Grooms men's shirts were originally $36 got them for $23. Thank you Lord! That is such a huge blessing. I was so ready to get that done. That's one more thing i can mark off my list! :) Lovin' my life! ~me

Thats one more thing off my to do list! :) I bought my veil yesterday. i like it lots! Next we need to measure the groomsmen and get their tux and ties ordered.
