The Latest

Well, Saturday marked SEVEN WEEKS 'til the wedding (!!!). It's crazy how time flies. Originally I was bummed that we had to set the wedding date for the summer (I was hoping for the spring, but there was too much going on and my sister was having her baby, etc.) and that it was so far away, but I can't imagine getting everything done any sooner! I am totally a list person and love being able to cross things off (Am I the only one who occassionally writes things like "Brush teeth" or "Take shower" on the to-do list or things already accomplished so I can check something off??), so wedding planning is the job for me :) Joe is working hard in the Portland area up until a few days before the wedding. He's definitely a trooper, and takes providing very seriously. A few weeks ago, we signed a lease for an apartment about 10 miles down the road, and the move in date is July 12th. We're pretty excited. I got Joe's wedding ring Saturday, and we're working on getting the announcements out this week! That's pretty much what's going on with us!

Together Again at Last : )

Well, another week is coming to a close. JoeJoe flew in a week ago Wednesday and left this last Tuesday early in the morning before work. To say we had a blast is a gross understatement :-) We also got a ton done in the midst of all the fun including registering at Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond; fitting Joe for a tux and picking out his accessories; engagement pictures; signing our very first APARTMENT LEASE at this super adorable place about 10 minutes from my parents' house; and a whole bunch of other GREAT STUFF!!! :) It was so good to be together if only for a little while. The good news, as Joe likes to remind me is that this is the last time he has to leave me, and there are only 6 weeks until he comes back to me :) Just in case you haven't seen any yet on Facebook... I am posting a small sampling of our engagement pictures. Our photograhers were Sherrie and Jay of Sherrie and Jay Photography and they were so amazing and so much fun! Our pictures turned out great and I can't wait to take our wedding pictures with them!

She's Here!
