Our Date: August 07, 2010

A few weeks ago Josh & I were able to decide on a date for our wedding! After much contemplating and planning we decided the first weekend in August would be best. The wedding will be one week before my birthday, and if you ask me, a husband is the best birthday present a girl could ask for! It's kind of funny that we are getting married on an odd numbered date because incase you didn't know, I have a weird thing with odd numbers - I always said I'd never get married on an odd numbered day, but here I am getting married on the 7th! But, I am getting married in the year 2010 which is what I always dreamed of because the number of years that we have been married will be easy math - once we get to August 07, 2032, simply subtracting 10 will be the number of married years! Weird, I know.. but I'm the kind of person that thinks about those kinds of things! Numbers aside, I am beyond excited to marry Josh and spend the rest of my life with him. I'm so excited to see what God has for our future together. 222 days to go!
ps - stay tuned for posts about our Christmas!

Priceless Pictures: August 2006

My First Lasagna!

Last Sunday Josh & I were finally going to be able to spend some time together after not seeing each other for a week, so I decided that I was going to make a nice dinner for us. I called my sister and asked her for an idea of what to make and she said lasagna, and then I called my mom and she said they were having lasagna for dinner that night too. So I decided, lasagna it is! My mom makes the best lasagna and I've helped her before, also a few weeks ago my sister & I made lasagna together, but I've never made it by myself so I was slightly worried. Since it was just going to be just the two of us, I made two smaller pans and put one in the freezer for another time! In the end it ended up turning out perfectly and it wasn't 'runny' which my mom says is the key to a good lasagna! I think I've proven to Josh that he will be well fed for the rest of his life :).

(Thanks to my roommate Jessica for taking this picture! Don't mind my apron :) ).

The Countdown

Just about a month ago I received the following e-mail which nearly knocked me off my chair:

Consequently the shock put me in to high-gear and Josh & I were able to make some important decisions regarding our wedding. I really can't believe how fast time is going. This Monday will be 8 months until our day (which is also pretty scary). In the past day we've gotten 12+ inches of snow where I live, so I've taken the opportunity to stay inside and wedding plan (and watch 4+ episodes of Say Yes To The Dress on TLC)! I know the next 246 days are going to be a whirlwind. I'm so excited to marry the man of my dreams but also stressing about planning!
