One Month!

First, my apologies for being absent from the blog. But, as today is our one month anniversary, I had to make time to post. WIth Josh's new job and my student teaching plus moving we have been so busy. I hope to keep up with the blog on how our wedding went and our newlywed adventures. Everyone always asks, "how's married life?" Our first two responses are mostly fun and weird. Fun because we are always together laughing, bike riding, cooking, etc. Weird because it's all so new. It takes time getting used to seeing each other all of the time. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE it, but it's still a big change that takes getting used to! It's such a joy being married to Josh (finally!!) and our first month has been simply amazing. 

(This was at an event Josh and I were at for his work!)

Our Wedding: The Flowers

To go along with our rustic theme, we decided to do wild flowers! My sister and I went to J's Fresh Flower Market yesterday to order some flowers! I'm SO excited! The variety of flowers is beautiful and wild flowers look so fresh! Here's some wild flowers they happened to have in the store while we were there.

Bridesmaid of the Week: Stephanie Froman!

          Stephanie is also one of my bridesmaids who I have known for a longggggg time. We have A LOT of embarrassing pictures together (I will not be posting the really embarrassing ones :) ). Our favorite song is Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch which led to our nicknames. We've had tons of sleepovers, been to concerts, took the train to Chicago, made beadie-buddies, spent weeks at camp, and we used to sit next to each other nearly every week in church growing up! Love ya Steph!

50 Days!

I know I posted the two month countdown not too long ago, but a 50 day countdown seems unreal! Time is flying!!!

Bridesmaid of the Week: Melissa Rich!

         Melissa and I were destined to be friends! Actually, Melissa and Josh have known each other since they were little. The new year's eve before my freshman year of college, Melissa and Josh ran into each other again and Melissa told Josh that she would be going to GVSU in the fall! Josh casually mentioned that Melissa and I should become friends, but Melissa figured with the amount of students it'd be unlikely that we would meet. But, God had different plans for our friendship! At my first GVSU event (a Campus Ministries Picnic) Melissa and I met! From then on Melissa and I spent tons of time with each other and then lived together our sophomore year! Melissa is the easiest person to get along with and we have so much in common. I love her so much! After she transferred colleges, we were no longer roomies, so now we have to make an extra effort to spend time together. Melissa also was a huge help to Josh when he proposed - Thanks Melissa!

2 Month Countdown!

Couldn't help but smile when I received this e-mail today :)

Wedding Updates!

With spring classes underway, things have been busy! But, here I am to give some wedding updates! Josh & I are almost two months away until our big day. The majority of the major details are pinned down and decorations, etc. are bought! Now we need to start thinking about the smaller projects - printing invitations and programs, favors, etc.. Needless to say we are getting SO excited to be married. For your enjoyment, here is a little wedding detail:
