Long time no write

Wedding planning is getting much further under way and is a little more intense than I had imagined. We're in the process of finalizing our bridal party's attire. Justin is doing custom made black suits, no color accents. I am working on green strapless dresses with gold strappy heels. Bright and summery for our hot July wedding. Fingers crossed that BM dresses and shoes get ordered smoothly without running out of stock or getting on some crazy back order list!

We're lucky to have 3 other good friends planning weddings in the next 14 months as well. Makes it even more fun when you can bounce ideas off of each other and see what everyone is doing. Can't wait for your weddings Mindy, Tammy and Candace!

This past weekend we finalized our musical offerings, attended pre-marital counseling session #1, made up a list of things to register for and nearly completed our wedding website. The wedding website will be cool- bridal party bios, maps, hotels to stay at, things to do in KC, all that good stuff. We'll be listing the site on our invites. The pre-marital counseling session was productive. We each took 165 question standardized tests on our thoughts and feelings about ourselves and each other regarding communicating, finances, sex, religion, family of origin, families that we want to have, workloads, household chores, and more. Pray that we pass (ha:)).

We're looking forward to our next week which inludes: meeting with caterer, ordering invites, registering, and completing our wedding website. Oh yeah- and ordering bridemaid dresses and shoes, along with the flowergirl dress (hopefully!). Thanks to my girls and Justin's guys for getting us your sizes on such short notice!

All in all we are getting very, VERY excited for the wedding, and we hope you are too! It will be such a blast to have all our friends and family in one spot to celebrate with us on this special occasion. Looking forward to seeing you all in just 4 months! Yikes!!
