Touching base ..

Just to touch base - a quick update.... Greg came home from Haiti, and a little over a week later we had a scare that he had to go back until mid-May. Two days before he was supposed to leave again, they cancelled it :)

We drove up to good ol' Charm city (Baltimore) last weekend. Tasted cake (my fav!)
Picked out our *perfect* cake, and got it ordered!!

I had my alteration appointment ..............
I offically can not gain a SINGLE pound, or I will be rolling down the aisle. Not really, but close enough for me! I can't wait to put on that dress in June!

Greg & I have finally found a church that we both love. With him growing up attending Catholic school and church, I thought it would be harder to compromise. As an adult, he realized the Catholic church wasn't for him, and we both have found love with "Water's Edge Church" It's amazing, check them out here http://watersedgechurch.net ♥ I can't wait for Easter service.

Wedding invitations are in the works & programs are getting ready to hit the press!

A short update wouldnt be complete without the official countdown ::drum roll::

Exactly 90 days!!!!

With love,

Future Mrs :)

March madness has began ...

I know many of you are wondering what happened to me -- no, I wasn't in outer space. I mean after all... It is called March madness for a reason! Typically it has to do with basketball.. I know this all too well. But for me .. It means a month full of wedding, wedding, and thats right..MORE wedding!

First, the most important news! Greg is home :) Natalia and I picked him up from Norfolk exactly one week ago. I don't know who was more happy to see him -- Natalia or me! I was sure to tell him all about the in's and out's of the wedding planning and gave him the biggest present of all ... I told him I was on wedding planning strike for one whole week. Thats right - he was going to have to make wedding decisions for one week without me (good thing they ended up being easy ones!)

Okay, backtrack a little before that. My mom and I went up to Maryland on March 6th. We drove up at around 9am and got back home that night at around 11pm. Talk about a LOT of driving! Do people really drive for a living? I just gained some respect for them. I think I lost a pound of my butt just by being smashed into a pancake for the 8+ hrs of driving to and from.
Oh, back to wedding! (Sorry I got destracted!) We went up and met with the pastor and seen the church (btw- I LOVE it!!) We then drove the 15 minute drive over the reception hall. I just love the charm and scenery. After that, we drove into the city (Baltimore) and got to do ........
CAKE TASTING! You know that was almost my most favorite part of the day. We got there pretty late so they didn't have all the flavors, but Greg and I are going back up this weekend to finish and decide on the cake :) The drive home was pretty tiring. We decided that we needed to do a little retail shopping at Potomac Mills to get us back in the driving spirit ;)

I promise to keep more in touch! Don't lose faith in me! ♥

Counting down the days,

Bed, Bath & Beyond.. Over and over

I realized that I haven't posted any pictures of wedding planning. Here are the main colors that are going to be in the wedding. Don't you just love them?! Champagne is another color that has some significance!

Clover (green) and Watermelon (pink)

I am now a pro at registering. Give me one of those hand held scanners and I can scan items with my eyes closed. It didn't come easy- ask my sister ;)
In semi non-wedding lingo what I am trying to say is that I spent about 4hours this weekend with my mom & sister registering for bridal/wedding gifts. It was fun for the first hour.. but man! That can be overwhelming and tiring! I wanted to wait for Greg but since we are cutting it close to the bridal showers and he isn't home yet.. I had to tackle it.

We are coming to the home stretch for his return. Natalia and I are getting so excited! I can't believe its been almost 2 months! Way too long, that's for sure!
Natalia and I sure do miss him making our bowls of ice cream for us every night!
(Love ya babe!)

My mom called me with a list today of things she was reading off from the bridal planning book. My mind started spinning just listening to her talk! I am so glad she's helping with these decisions! Some of them are just too much to think about..especially with Greg not here. Just wait until he gets here - he will have to make up for it!

We STILL have to have our engagement pictures taken! They are going to have to be done ASAP! I haven't decided (go figure!) where to have them taken. I do know who will be taking them! My fabulous photographer, Crystal!

I am going to blog off with this thought ... 116 more days!!!

Can't wait! :)
