4 months and counting

I can’t believe that we are down to four months! In this past month, my mom and I made a trip down to San Diego. The two days that we were there were packed with going to the ceremony/reception site, figuring out the centerpiece, hanging with Andrew’s family, picking out flowers, deciding on a wedding cake, and met with Team Kristal. Let’s just say that we used every second we had!!!

Also, I have already picked up my wedding dress and am looking at getting alterations done in April. It is sooo pretty and I love it so much. My sisters also got to pick up this bridesmaid dresses this month too and they look so good. Some minor alternations need to be made but other then that they are beautiful.

Another blessing this month…… Stephanie’s boss who owns her own salon is flying out to do the WHOLE wedding parties hair at no cost to me. She is using the trip as a mini vacation for her family. Can I just say that God is good!

I am trying my best to enjoy this whole process and not to get too stressed out. I have a great support network around me which helps out a ton. So keep checking back for more updates as the wedding gets closer.

Engagment Photos

Over a couple of weeks ago, Andrew and I got to get our engagement pictures done! We actually asked a couple that goes to our church if they would be open to doing our pictures. Andrew goes on to ask how much they charge and they nothing. "God has given them the gift of photography so they want to use that gift and hey if you don't like them then you didn't lose any money." Lets just say we were amazed by this offer.

So we went out a couple of weekends ago to a beautiful little park that is right now the street from my place (never knew it was there) and got our pictures done. I didn't know what to expect when we received our CD this past Sunday but they went above and beyond my expectations. Words can't say how grateful we are to this wonderful couple, they have blessed us in so many ways. So here are a few pics from that day. I hope that you enjoy!!
