5 months later....

WOW!

Where have I BEEN!? But seriously it has been over 5 months since I last wrote! Yikes! My last entry was about books I had read, which I have read more, but didn't write them down so I can't remember boo!

Anyways, almost 1 month until MY WEDDING!!! OMG I cannot believe that!!! SO a couple of things about THE wedding.

1. Planning a wedding is NOT fun. Yes some parts are like trying on dresses, and receiving amazing showers and parties from those around you. But what I really mean is everything that comes along with planning a wedding. First example: BRIDEZILLA. I want to know who started that word. This is what I have noticed. If you COMPLAIN about anything, not even wedding related in the months planning your wedding, you are labeled a bridezilla. WOW. Not cool! Second: Overwhelming. The overwhelming part is more of everyone around you. You have family and friends throwing out suggestions and if you don't take or don't seem interested you are now seen as ungrateful about it all! You have to constantly go with the flow. That gets super tiring. Third: Pressure. There is just a pressure in the air when planning a wedding. People ask about EVERYTHING and then precede to talk about weddings in not a good way after they happen. I feel the pressure to look good, to make sure the food is good, the flowers look okay and the height on tables does not block people, free bar situation, the actual ceremony and EVERYTHING about it, making sure everyone knows what is going on and how to get to places. And MUCH more. To sum it up: I feel like if I do too much people think I have WAY to much time on my hands and if I don't do enough it gives ppl something to complain about! But I guess that is how people are in most situations.


I feel like I am one of few brides that actually am more excited for the ceremony part. I have so many special ideas up my sleeve to make it memorable and personal. I am just so excited that Andrew and I are finally coming together!

The whole process has shown me a lot about myself and those I surround myself with. I continually try to tell myself that until a person is in my shoes, they just don't know what it is like to go through this whole process. It is not just a silly process of putting together details and looking good on the day. It is WAY more than that and everything else in your life keeps going around you. I pray that when those around me reach the day I am there for them and guide them rather than want to shout: I TOLD YOU SO! :)

2. I still have random jobs all the time. My most recent is full time nanny. It actually ends next week which worry's me that I do not have anything lined up yet and don't want to put any holes in my resume. I have been applying to jobs in SD and just pray that something will come up.

3. Andrew and I found a place. It is a condo that we will rent out. I am SO excited and cannot believe how blessed we are to have received this place! We move in the last weekend of July. Perfect timing as well.

4. There are so many other things too to update, but I don't have time to update right now.

I do like the idea of Andrew and I starting a blog together once married to keep family and friends updated on whats going on with us! So hopefully I don't slack on that!
