Wedding bells are getting louder!


As my countdown clock on my blog likes to remind me, we're 73 days away! WOW.. that sounds SO soon! Just over 2 months away.. 2 MONTHS!! It seems like we were just at 6 months! Where is time going!?

Seriously, thank God for my wonderful mother! I would be so lost without her. She's pretty much keeping my butt in gear on our to do list. I've been having these weird headache episodes lately. I had them 4 days in a row last week. We had decided while Stephen was gone to do his inprocesssing at Eglin, we would get all the wedding invitations addressed so they'll be ready to go out by the end of the month. We tried working on them Friday night. My mom, me, and my very sweet cousin, Mandy sat down with the intention of getting them all knocked out. 15 minutes and 5 invitations later, my eyesight blurred and my hand went numb as another one of my episodes came on.. I spent the rest of the evening on the couch with my eyes closed, while they continued to write. The finished over half of them!! The next day I had to go to work and while I was working, my sweet mama finished them all for me! I am TRUELY blessed with the amazing people in my life!

When I got off, we went to run some wedding errands, my mom is hand beading my veil so we went by the bridal store to see it compared to my dress.. wouldn't you know my dress had come in!! I was so excited! I got to put the dress on again, but this time it was MY dress, the actual dress i'll wear down the aisle!

This Sunday, we're having engagement pictures taken! =) One of the sweet wives from one of the Eglin Facebook pages, is just starting a photography business, she offered to take our pictures for free so she could practice with engagement shoots. Of course I said yes! I'm so excited! Her pictures are always pretty so i'm excited for her to take ours! I'll post some on here when we're done :)

I feel like there's so many other things left to do, but until then I'll just keep asking my mom what I need to be doing and when... 73 days! YIKES!!

Top 2 Tuesdays


I found this link up on a couple other blogs I love to read, and the more I thought about it, the more I had to write this one! Today on this wonderful blog we were supposed to link up with the top 2 things we had learned about relationships. Oh boy... as most of you probably could, I feel as if I could write a book on what i've learned in just a few short years! But i'll go with the top 2.

1) Patience- Not just in romantic relationships, but in all relationships patience is key. It's hard as human beings we always want things our way and instantly. Being with Stephen has taught me an immense about of patience. When I come home and his clothes are everywhere and his dirty dishes are scattered around the apartment, I just take a deep breath and remember I'd rather my apartment be messy and have him home, then to have it perfectly neat and him on the other side of the country from me! That patience makes it all worthwhile when I come home from a crazy work day like today and find that he's cleaned the apartment!

2) Be with the one you can't live without- It's easy to settle. It's easy to get comfortable in a relationship and think that yeah, you can live the rest of your life with this person. But what's most important is at the end of the day knowing you COULDN'T live your life withOUT this person! That's when you know you've found your keeper, your other half, and your best friend!

Just 2 of the many things i've learned so far on this crazy road we're on! :)
