No, I will not be a runaway bride. :P

Here Comes the Bride!!!

While I was at home this weekend, I got my sister to take some pictures of my in my dress and I edited them myself. I think we got some really good ones. Considering the fact that she is not a professional photographer and the only experience she's ever had has been when we are playing "photo shoot". Haha. My friend Tricia was there to help me not ruin my dress and she even took a few of the pics of me lying in the grass. We had to wade through some tall grasses and fend of lots of spiders and bugs who liked to run up in between my lace and underlay of my dress. Ick! So here they are! I'm going to choose one to blow up big at the reception. Which one do you think I should choose? I would like for it to be one where you can see all of my dress. Leave a comment and tell me what you think! You might can see the detail better if you click on them.






I know this one's editing is a little harsh. I just did it for fun.

23 days and counting!!

We went to our first hour of 2 dance lessons on Tuesday. It was....um, interesting! Carlos, our teacher was, however, impressed at how well we both caught on. {I've taken dance before and Heath is a musician and was in band most of his life} We practiced a dance to "our" song, You and I by Michael Buble. I'm just afraid that we will be so concentrated on doing things right that we will forget that moment we are in, ya know? Hopefully in 23 days we can get it down well enough that it will feel more natural. The tempo is sooooo sloooooow that it's hard to dance to. But it's a great song and fits us pretty well. Plus I think it will be pretty impressive if we can pull it off! I felt like I was practicing for Dancing with the Stars. Haha.....

I've still got so many thing to do/think about! I have to work on the slide show for the ceremony. But I'm trying to wait on that until my dad can help me. I need to get out the pattern for my veil so I can find the netting for it and mom can make it for me when I'm home this weekend. I really need for the weather to be perfect this weekend so that perhaps my sister can take a few photos of me with my dress on. Hopefully they will be good enough to display at the reception. I need to make sure the bridesmaid gifts get finished and figure out a way to package all of them. Oh....so much to do! So much to think about! Someone tell me I'm gonna make it through this without the need of a therapist!

26 Days

Less than a month. Can you believe it? I can't. This past weekend was my last weekend in Houston until after the honeymoon. I'm going home next weekend for my sister's and cousin's graduation, the next weekend are showers in Anacoco, then the next weekend is the one before my life changes and I will be going home to help mom. I find that I'm getting a little more emotional the closer I get. That could be related to a couple other factors as well, so it's hard to tell. But I'm starting to think about things like "this is the last time I do this before I'm married." I'm trying to think of all the things that need to be taken care of by the time the wedding gets here. It's really kind of overwhelming. We got things all set for our new apartment. I'm convinced I'm never going to want to move from it. Even though it's on the second floor, it's a stand-alone {with only the apartment underneath us connected} Out one window is the pool, out another is the courtyard. It has a nice open entrance outside so that I can have some potted plants. It has a big living room and two bedrooms! Yay! So we can use it as a guest room/craft room/computer room/ maybe a music room for Heath. It's gonna be so full we probably won't even be able to get in it! Haha. I'm going to try my absolute best to be good about keeping the place clean so Heath doesn't feel like he has to be the one who cleans. I keep promising him this but he just doesn't believe me. I have to prove him wrong! Last night we were sitting in my apartment. And I was like, "I wonder if after we are married if we will just sit here and look at each other and say, hmm...now what?" We are so use to go over to each other's apartments that when we will actually be living in the same one we won't know what to do with ourselves! Well I'm sure we will be able to think of a few things to do....but you know what I mean. Right?

It's going to be so different. We've been talking about budgets and financial stuff. I have to find a new job. It's been rough so far. I have a hard time getting into the right mindset to even try to find a job. Simply because I don't want to. But also because I don't know *what * I want to do. Well I know what I want to do but I can't do that right now. I don't even like talking about it because it seems too out of reach and people don't take me seriously. So for now I just have to find *something* but a *something* that is going to pay me enough to statisfy. We shall see....... It just sucks to have to be half jobless with all this wedding stuff and other stress right now. It's just not fair. The Lord is testing me right now and I feel like I am failing miserably. Heath is a good encouragement but I also feel a lot of pressure being put on me. I have faith that things are going to fall into place. Say a prayer for me if you think about it. I'm going to need it.

Of course I can't go without posting a picture!
