Less then Four Months!!!

This engagement thing is going by WAY too slow. For those of you who say it goes fast, what did you do to make the time go by? We feel like time is just standing still. Hopefully, the holidays will make time go by faster.

Walter and I made our honeymoon reservations last week!!! :) How fun! We have our first pre-marital counseling session this Saturday. We'll probably go look at tuxes that day as well. I still need to get a videographer for the ceremony and a DJ. I think because everyone I've talked to has been available, I've just been slacking. Pretty soon I think I'll start cake-tasting. :) mmm...

I can't wait till our wedding and we get to spend the rest of our lives together. We are having so much fun decorating the house, etc. (I'm selling my townhouse and moving into Walter's house after we're married).

I know these are just a bunch of random thoughts, but I need to give you some type of update.

Dana! Thanks for the update! Don't worry, the holiday will suck up your time. And the last month before you're engaged will make you crazy with all the little things you have to get done!
Hang in there...the rest of your life is just around the corner!!

We Have a Date!

The wedding date is set: Friday, March 2. I've already booked our church, our pastor, and the reception hall. Whew. I've been busy. Luckily, I already knew where I wanted the reception to be held and since I'm doing a Friday evening, it was easier to book the reception hall. My mom, Kara (my sister and matron-of-honor), and I are looking at dresses this Saturday. How fun! I already found one that I REALLY like online at David's Bridal. So, we are heading there first on Saturday. Jess bought me a wedding planning book -- wow! I had no idea that there were so many things to do! Plus, most people start almost a year in advance and I'm doing it in six months. Oh well. The work is well worth the short wait. So, how am I doing with posting so far? Look, Amanda, two blogs in one week! You must be proud of me. Still no pictures as Walter has been out of town and I don't have a camera. Hopefully, I will have some for you soon.

Don't Give Up On Me Yet

Okay, okay, I've started to slack again. I'm sorry Amanda. It's a good thing I have Walter -- HE reminded me to write on the blog. Ha! So, I was told that it would take 12 weeks for my wedding dress to arrive. One week later, I get a phone call that my dress is in! Wow! So, I have the dress...can we just go ahead and get married? :) Anyway, in order to prepare for my wedding, I felt that it was finally time to spend the money and get LASIK. This past Tuesday, I got my eyes examined to see if I am a candidate and...I am! So, on Friday of next week (9/15), I'm getting LASIK! Yea!!! I'll let you know how it goes. Still need to find a photographer, videographer, and DJ (Walter's in charge of finding the DJ). We've also begun to look for someone to do invitations. Less than six months till my wedding! If I think of more to add, I'll let you know!

Honestly...

I've been thinking a lot about honesty lately, specifically in relationships. For the most part, I consider myself an honest person. When I worked in retail, my customers appreciated that I would give them honest feedback and let them know if something worked for them, instead of just trying to make a sale. I joke around that if you give me a just a little alcohol, you will be sure to know my opinions about any and everything. ;) However, when it comes to people who are close to me, I have a harder time being honest. I can be honest when it doesn't matter -- even when it is with people I consider my friends. I think because there isn't as much at stake -- if they judge me, get mad, or walk away, it doesn't really matter. I know that I was honest and I can move on in my life.  However, with those closest to me, I'm careful to keep things close to me and compartmentalize instead to sharing how I honestly feel. There's way more at stake. Yes, I know that the people...
