We've been engaged for a year!

Well it was a year ago today that David asked me to marry him! We had a great Christmas together and are having a lot of fun trying to figure out things for the wedding and after the wedding.

From my florist

I haven't even realized that I am on Christmas break. I have been going 100mph the entire break. I think I have actually been busier during the break than during the semester I'm just not doing "academic" work. I drove to Kara's the day after Christmas and we met with my photographer for the first time, finalized my flower plans and paid for the flowers, met with the linen lady, did a trial run of my makeup, and went back to the Hilton to figure out some decorating arrangements. Lacy came with us to the hotel and the two of us ended up staying after Kara left. We drug out all the chairs out of their event rooms into the foyer (Where the ceremony will take place) and set up the entire ceremony to make sure it would all work. We also figured out how to arrange the ceremony if the weather is nice and we can have it outside. I really like my photography she is really nice and has some amazing portfolios. She is actually taking Emmit Smith's baby's pictures and doing their baby announcement. Here is her website if you want to look at her work http://jennyleighphotography.com/   .  I dropped off all my vases to my florist (she has a storage rooms he said she would store them for me) and she set up a vase to show me how it will sorta look.  I am really excited to have the flowers done. She also gave me an aromatherapy "be calm" bridal kit with a dried hydrangea corsage to show me how I can dry my bouquet. I have also started a travel guide brochure for the guests who are not familiar with the area that includes restaurant stops along the way, emergency numbers, maps, clean restroom stops, etc that I will be handing out to the guests. I began writing down all the "instructions" for those who will be decorating the day of the wedding while I am getting ready. Lacy's mom, LouAnn, made my veil while we were down there and I brought that back home with me so Asa and I can start trying out my hair with my veil and see how we want to do it. We will be mailing the invitations this week so be looking for those to come. I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years.
