2 Months to go and so much to do

I got an email today from the Knot.com that told me Bo and I were getting married in 2 MONTHS. I then looked down at my calendar and low and behold WE ARE! I can not believe that it is almost here. When we got engaged, I was sure 7 months was plenty of time. Ha. I never thought so many little details go into this one day. I have a new found respect for Wedding Planners. They have got to be the most organized people EVER. There are songs to choose, decorations to buy, vows to decide on, and in the midst of wedding planning there are holidays! My most recent fear is the invitations. We are sending out 400 invitations. They have to be stuffed, addressed, and stamped....I think we are going to have a party one night and recruit all our friends (Jenna and Brenton) to help us with the madness! Bo and I are also looking for a place to live after we are married. Finding time to look for a place, contact the people, and then go see it is almost impossible. Who knew you could do so much at one time. I am so thankful for friends and family who are supportive during this time. I know lots of prayers go out for us.

Next week we start our premarital counseling classes and I am really looking forward to it. We have heard such great things about Dr. Eades, and I think Bo and I will learn a lot about the other person. It is funny how after being together this long we still learn new things everyday. We have had to take all these personality tests and marriage inventories that we will go over in the sessions. We have joked about the results a couple times, but I know that a silly personality test can't decide if we are compatible or not.

I know everything will come together and be wonderful. And, even if something isn't perfect I am okay with that. It isn't about the details. It is about Bo and I getting married and starting a life together...well really it is about the honeymoon...but shhh!!!

Shower Number 1

Last Friday, Bo and I went to Gonzales for our first wedding shower. My mom and Jerry Ann came in town as well, and we all had dinner at the Faulkner's house. When Steve says he is cooking he doesn't mean for just those who are at the house...he means the whole town! Ha. The food was amazing (as always) , but more than anything I am so glad our families could come together. I hope there are many more dinners like that one in our future.

The women of First Baptist Gonzales threw the shower for us. It was so much fun getting to meet all the wonderful people who came to celebrate with us. Bo was on staff there for awhile, and it was nice to put faces with names I have heard before. The out pour of love was so over whelming to me. I just want to thank everyone who was involved in making that such a special day.

Bo and I

The beautiful Mothers! They looked like models for Coldwater Creek in their nearly matching outfits.

It wouldn't be the same without a silly face from Bo and I!

Saturday night was the most fun for me. When Bo and I got back into town, we unloaded everything at his apartment. I had so much fun sitting in the room organizing all the gifts and looking through them again. I can't wait to decorate our home and fill it with all the wonderful gifts people gave us.
