We have passed the year mark! I've been crazy busy with work lately since I started my new job as a preschool teacher alongside my normal babysitting jobs so it seems like time has been flying by!Since October is here and now there's less than a year til our big day, we are starting to plan a little here and there. Since we already have the location picked as well as our wedding party, we are mostly just coming up with ideas for things and not so much definite decisions yet. The location looks fantastic right now so we are very excited. I just love the idea of an outdoor wedding, so please pray pray pray that God allows for a beautiful, rain-free day afternoon.
A couple of months ago I asked my flower girl if she wanted to be in our wedding and Nich's dad will be performing (?) the ceremony so I think we officially have the entire wedding party put together. My maid of honor is the fabulous Kristi, my brothers fiance/already like my sister. I then have six bridesmaids, Mary (Nich's younger sister), Nicole (Nich's sister in law), Melissa (my step sister), Lindsey (my good friend that I also work with), Crystal (also my good friend that I work with at church), and Alexa (my good friend). And as for Nicholas.... his best man is his brother Chris and he also has six groomsmen who are all his close friends, Caleb, (another) Chris, Justin, Charlie (my brother), Mitch, and Adam. Our ring bearer (as you know..) is Parker, the sweet, adorable, entertaining boy that I have grown SO close to the past two years as I was a nanny to him and now he attends my school. Our flower girl is Audrey, another precious child I have babysat for a good while, and she's so excited!
I have been trying on dresses and it may be safe to say I have found "the one" but that could change, hehe! I'd like to say that I have found "it" so that I can move on to the bridesmaids dresses, because I have SEVEN bridesmaids and I want to make them look snazzy!! I'm already having a difficult time trying to refrain from filling Nicholas in on all of the fun details of the dresses I've been trying on. I really want him to see me in the dress/see the dress itself for the first time when I'm walking down the aisle and I'm blubbering with tears! But I think I'll be able to stay strong as long as he doesn't snoop through all my photo files or bribe one of my bridesmaids!
That is all for now, stay tuned. I don't plan to give away all the details of our wedding to you all, but I'll continue to share fun things!
