Invitations

AHG....I am so frustrated. The invitations for ourwedding finally arrived yesterday so they are going out in the mail 1 month before the wedding. On top of the tardiness, they were not printed in the correct color, missing the maple leaf outline, and there is a mistake on the address. I am sending them out anyway because I can't wait any longer. Obviously, no one receiving the invite will know the ink color was supposed to be brown and there was supposed to be the maple leaf. But some people will catch the typo. I will not recommend this business to anyone. On the bright side, the invitations are out and I can move on to more of the details of the wedding. Hopefully no more of this and things will be clear sailing from now on. Wish me luck.

20 Things about me!




Lets learn about me~

1) I have a black lab & golden retriever mix dog that looks all black lab. Remi he is such a good boy.

2) When I moved in with Caleb we boought a new 4 wheeler for us to ride and use around the house. I like to drive it but I also like to be on the back holding on when we go on trail rides.

3)I like to read. I am currently reading Yada Yada Prayer Group and For Women Only. I read one during my lunch hour and the other is at home for free time and before I go to bed to unwind.

4)I am a Sigma Kappa, Theta Iota.

5)I love to camp. This year we bought a new tent and we went to the PA Grand Canyon in Wellsboro.

6) I like to go to concerts w/ my good friend Michelle. Last year we saw Dierks Bentley, Kenny Chesney, Sugarland & Jo Dee Messina. We got to meet Dierks and Jo Dee! We didn't make it to any this year :0(

7)I have a younger brother. Jimmy is 10 years my junior.

8) I am a people watcher. I love to sit in the mall, at the park, at restaurants, anywhere and watch people.

9) I like to watch reality tv. My favorites are Top Chef, Project Runway and The Big Break.

10) I drive a jeep liberty that I love, except for the gas mileage. Caleb is a Chevy/GMC man and would love to run my jeep over. lol

11) I have been married before. It lasted 7 years. It was a hard thing to do because I was scared to leave and be on my own. I had never lived by myself and wasn't sure I could do it. But I did and now I am a better person and future wife for Caleb.

12) My aunt was killed in a plane crash when I was 13. I miss her terribly. I am a clone of her.

13) I love christmas! I love the excitement of it and the anticipation of christmas morning. Purchasing presents is nerve racking and rewarding all at the same time, because I want to get the person something they will really like. It is my favorite holiday. I love decorating and putting up a tree. But I also hate to take it all down.

14) Fall is my favorite time of the year. The leaves changing and the air is cooler. Football season. Caleb likes fall also so we decided to get married at the end of September. We are having an outside wedding and it is looking promising for some beautiful, brillant color and warm weather.

15) I have a great group of friends. I am truly blessed. Love you girls!!!
16)When I was a child a had a parakeet named Sam. He was blue. My grandma gave him to me.
17)Caleb had a Harley Sportster and I love to go for rides. Sadly we did not ride that much this summer. Maybe next year we will ride more. We would love to get a bigger bike, a street glider.
18)I am the oldest grandchild on both sides of my family. And I am the oldest of the great grandchildren in my dad's family.
19) Last year I started playing golf w/ my friend Kristy and her boyfriend. Then Caleb cultivated my passion for it.
20)I can't wait to be a mom!

One Month Before Wedding

We are one month away from our nuptials. I am starting to stress about all the things we have to do. The biggest thing is that our invitations have not arrived (but they should be here today). So that is my first priority this week. Then there is the centerpieces, birdseed packets, program, and so on..... Even tho I am stressing I am completely excited to be marrying Caleb. He is truly the man of my dreams. He makes me weak in the knees when he kisses me or just gives me that look.

We met and started dating 14 months ago. I was not looking for a boyfriend, just planning to have an amazing summer. Then my friend Kristy said wanna go golfing with Josh and one of his friends. It took us a couple more weeks but once I had decided to be w/ him it was all over. I was hooked. I think on of the best things we did was not jump right in to seeing each other everyday. We waited a couple weeks and then I went on vacation for 10 days and that really helped me realize how much I liked him and wanted to be with him. Ever since we have been working on creating a life together.
