8 Weeks... moving on flower girl/ring bearer outfits

Quick update on the wedding planning. Getting excited, but also very nervous about all that is still left to be done!!! Ahhh.

Today I booked the hotel for the night of our wedding and the following night. Excited to have that done and out of the way.

I got my hair cut yesterday and my hair stylist and I discussed possibilities for how I'll wear my hair. I scheduled a trial run with him the week before the wedding.

Our invitations have been sent out, and I've received about 50 RSVPs... although waiting for about 250 people to let me know.

I've been finalizing the order with the florist.

I applied for my passport, it should arrive any day now.

I've started working on the programs, but it's going to be a while before they're done (have to meet with our officiant to finalize ceremony order) and then it might take a while to finish them up.

We've been working on center piece ideas ...


Then our awesome neighbor offered to help with the flower girl outfit, so we went to the fabric store today and got materials to make the tutu part! I love this cute outfit (except Karley's will be ivory on top, with ivory and light gray mixed on the bottom)! I feel so blessed that our neighbor, who I just met, is so willing to help! She even went to the fabric store with me and helped me pick out the material.

And here is what we're thinking of having the ring bearer wear :)

They're such cute toddlers in anything they wear, but I'm excited to see them in their little outfits!

It's getting closer!

We're narrowing in on 10 weeks away from our big day! I'm very excited. Lately we've been looking into housing for next year, either an apartment or condo, and Corey's been applying for jobs. He graduates next month and I'm so excited and proud. Although so many details of our life together have yet to be worked out (where we'll live, where he'll work, how we'll pay for things...), I've been feeling a lot more at peace about everything lately. God will provide for us. Everything will work out. And while I really struggle to remember that sometimes, I know it's true. I have to remember that worrying won't do me any good. Remembering those things and trusting in the Lord has really enabled me to enjoy this time of our lives rather than stressing over it. For a while I was going crazy. The peace God has granted me has helped me be more patient too, which has been beneficial to my relationship with Corey. This is still an area that I struggle in, but I'm working to trust in God when things are out of my control. I'm learning to trust other people more too as I trust in Corey to be our primary provider and my number one go-to. Life is good. I love how God's always teaching us something. There's always something new to learn, always growing to be done.

I'm looking forward growing together with Corey for the rest of our lives. It's been fun going through this process with him. This last weekend we spent a few hours putting together invitations. Even after knowing each other for so many years, I still learn things about him. I love learning those little things, it keeps things exciting. Anyways, we've been working on the invitations and hopefully we'll get them out in the next week! Still working on the RSVP/directions card. :) 74 days!!!!!
