1)We went to Corpus Christi for a Couples Shower/Cocktail Party thrown for us by 11 of our parents friends. It was truly special to see so many people there who love and support us! It was truly some of the best catered food I have ever had and my parents said the same thing, which says a lot! I hope to see the hosts and everyone who came at the wedding as well!!
Us with the hosts and then one of us two:
2) We decided to have Shelby's tail docked (just the end - about an inch). It makes me sad to see her tail all bandaged up and she was in pain for the first 48 hours or so. It's still foreign to her and that makes me sad :-( She recently split it open and we had to get it re-bandaged at the vet's office. Great, back to square one. They said recovery time is about a month, which is what like 1 year in dog time?!
3) The wedding dress fits. Finally!!! It is on it's way to Corpus Christi and the annoying alterations chapter is closed!! Now, the only time I will be getting naked in a cold room in front of people will be on my wedding day! Wait, weird. Anyway, I cried when I tried it on and could breathe. It embarrassed the Seamstress - I guess b/c she should have had me breathing in it all along? And it was in front of people. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I was crying b/c I never had to schedule another appt. with her again. ;-)
4) We are shopping for homes!! It's an exciting time - I really LOVE real estate. I think it's my calling. So, it's even more exciting for me. Today is our third day with the realtor and each morning I have awakened before 8am with excitement! Like we are going to Disney World! Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. It's a scary time to make a big decision. This is one of the homes I LOVED but the location, staircase, and 1970s features were all wrong. But isn't it SO pretty form the outside?!?!
5) Beau and I met with Deacon Ken at the Church yesterday and it went really well! We had a really great conversation and like him a lot. We were reviewing our FOCCUS scores (FOCCUS is a marriage prep course where we each answered 150 questions and they compared our answers) and he said overall everything looked really good. If you aren't familiar with FOCCUS, it's a great program designed by a team (I think) of psychologists to help couples discuss key areas of their future. There are, of course, no right or wrong answers. It was really enjoyable, actually! My favorite part was that it was short and sweet b/c our answers matched so well :-)
6) 77 days til the big day :-) Some quick updates: Invitations are in and look great, rehearsal dinner menu has been finalized, bridesmaid dresses are in (picking them up today - fingers crossed the colors are correct!!), bridesmaid luncheon details are being finalized (I have the best family for offering to host this!!), and much more. It's getting exciting!
