Tomorrow I will be engaged for one month. I’ll have to say, this has been a wonderful month for sure. A lot has happened in a month, all of it being so exciting.
Wedding Planning is in “Full Swing” per say. We had to pick a date quickly and get a venue booked because 2012 was filling up due to other friend’s weddings, graduations, and my school calendar. Since we decided to have the wedding in the Destin area, we only had so many venue choices due to the size of wedding we are hoping to have. I got pricing from a number of places and only two really sparked any interest, Bentley’s on the Bay and Cabana Blue. They are across the street from each other and owned by the same people. Both of them were absolutely beautiful and fit our needs but we chose Cabana Blue. Cabana Blue has a more relaxed and tropical feel to it and we’d like to keep the wedding on the casual side. We are both really excited about the wedding and looking forward to July 28, 2012.
This past weekend my parents (yes mom AND dad) went wedding dress shopping for the first time. It was really fun! I didn’t “Say “yes” to the Dress” but it was still enjoyable. I found elements of dresses that I really liked and some I didn’t. I think I have a better understanding of what I am looking for now and I know I’ll find it eventually, I have plenty of time. You definitely feel beautiful in all sorts of wedding dresses, which I was thankful for. I’d like to lose a little weight in my lower half before trying again so I can find something more fitted. I was really glad my dad wanted to come with us when we invited him. I am very lucky to have an amazing father who will do just about anything for me. I like for my dad to share in important events in my life and be able to get his advice. It was very special to me that he came. I am Daddy’s Little Girl!
Next on the list of “Wedding Planning” announce our Wedding Party! Pete has asked some but not all of his groomsmen and the USPS is taking care of mine. We are excited about all of them and hope they all enjoy being part of our big day!
I got accepted in the RN program at Faulkner State last week. It’s been a long time coming…I’m only a year behind. I am VERY VERY VERY excited about finally starting the program and even more excited about finishing it and going back to work full time. I have orientation on July 14th and will know more details after that. Just reading the packet of information they sent gives me chills though. I am very thankful that I am able to follow my dreams and finally do what I have always wanted to.
Since my life is focusing more on wedding details and such, I assume this blog will take a turn for the “girlie”. I want to use it as a way of discussing joys and frustrations (though I hope those are minimum) during this exciting time in my life. Being engaged this last month has honestly been one of the most exhilarating feelings. I am so happy and couldn’t ask for more. Pete is truly amazing and my best friend in the entire world. I never thought I would still feel this giddy but I do and I am glad! I wake up every day with a peace just knowing that this is forever. We have so many exciting things to look forward to in the coming years; I don’t think this feeling will fade for a long time and hopefully never. I truly found my prince charming.
