So…in case you couldn’t tell, I am getting married! Yeah, I am really excited. I really meant to get back on here and post words to go with the picture….but….well….it never happened.
You can read our engagement story on Dave’s blog. I will put my 2 cents in and say I was VERY SHOCKED. I had no clue he was going to propose! He did a very good job at surprising me! He is a dear, sweet, wonderful, godly man, and I can’t WAIT to be his wife!
We will be getting married on November 17 at 3 pm. That is 2 months and 27 days away from today! Not that anyone is counting….. haha. It has certainly been a busy month. It seems either I or Dave and I have something going on most nights of the week. But it has been a fun month, so the busyness has been ok. We are in the middle of wedding planning, and I feel really good about the progress. I have a LOT done. I think I have surprised people, haha. But its been so much fun, and so good to get the big decisions and tasks accomplished. I want to enjoy these few months and not leave things until the last minute. Avoiding stress is my goal!! 
Monday, Dave got his brand spanking new iMac!!!! You can learn more about it here. It was a lot of fun setting it up and seeing a bit of what it can do. Its so pretty, and FAST.
Tonight, Dave and I will be getting our engagement photos taken by our friend Jason, and after that will have our first session of pre-marital counseling with our pastor and his wife. We read the first 2 chapters in the book we will be going through, The Marriage Builder, by Larry Crabb. It is a REALLY good book–very Christ focused and centered. I think I am really going to enjoy it, and it will be a wonderful tool for Dave and I as we begin to build our marriage.
Update complete.
I am SO excited about your wedding! I’ve got it marked on my calendar!:) I am also excited that you all are coming down for my friend’s wedding in a few weeks! My house will HOPEFULLY be ready by then. Also, my mom will be in town, so you’ll get to meet her!
Beth I am very excited about coming down in a few weeks as well! I haven’t seen you in forever, and I am looking forward to it. I am also looking forward to meeting Katie and Ed, and now your mom.
See you in a few weeks!
I’m so so so so so so so so excited about your wedding.
And, yes…the Marriage Builder is an AWESOME book. Justin and I really enjoyed it.
I would also suggest the 5 love languages. Yes, I know its been around forever, and you may have read it as a single woman…but reading it together with Dave would be very beneficial.
