So the past few months have been the greatest, most exciting of my life. I have started teaching, which I love. And I got engaged, to the man I love. Life is good. No, life is great.
We went to a cabin in the mountains for my birthday with my parents. He let me have my birthday present early, which was a gorgeous jewelry box he had been working on forever. There was a hidden compartment in the drawer that had the ring hidden in it! This swing is where I opened my gift and he proposed!
Wedding planning has began, and we are on the ball. We set the set for next July. 294 days! I seriously cannot wait to marry my best friend. He is wonderful to me and wonderful to everyone he meets. I could not be luckier. He pushes me to be a better person. He pushes me to be like Christ. He is genuine. He is kind. He is loving. He is patient with me. He is great!
The church is reserved. The contract is signed with the reception place and caterer. We have the photographer picked and will sign the contract next time we visit my parents. The budget is done and now we just have to stick to it. The wedding favors were ordered today (old school favors of matches, which we both love!). I started my DIY kick and made wreaths to put on the french doors of the church. They have blueish/purple flowers, and tomorrow I will add a navy bow and a "W" in gold to both. Maybe I will post pictures! :)
This crafty kick that I am on will hopefully save me a bunch of money. Especially since we are trying to be $4,000 under our budget. Wish us luck!
