White sand, clear blue water, and my Man by my side!

Our honeymoon is going to be so AMAZING!!! I can not wait to be in the carribean with my man relaxing after our beautiful wedding! We are going to the island of St. Lucia....which I have recently heard is the new hot spot in the carribean :) We have soo much planned for our honeymoon and have an amazing oceanview room!!

St. Lucia is a gorgeous island with huge beautiful jungle covered mountains, white sand beaches, shallow clear blue waters, palm trees and amazing views! We are going to stay at one of the Sandals resorts on the island! I can't wait!

I also know that James is super excited for the honeymoon too! I think he is more excited about the honeymoon then the wedding haha! :) I know we will have an awesome time together because we love going on trips together! And we are both super stoked to go somewhere tropical because neither of us have never been!

Our trip to St. Lucia will be our first journey as a married couple and will start the beginning of our many adventures we want tot ake together! We want to travel after we are married before we have kids and I can't wait!

Well that is about all the newest news so far :) I still need to find the other girls' dresses....but I'm not too worried because I think we will find them soon!
I have been on the internet alot looking at DIY wedding websites because I want to do a lot of my details and decorations myself to add my own touch!!
Also I am unique in my style and want my wedding to be something different and so I have been searching the internet for different way of doing things and creating a beautiful wedding! :)

Here are some pictures of the beautiful St. Lucia!!

Oh yes! And James can't wait to go golfing! :)

Talk to you soon!

The BIG DAY!!!

Hi Everyone! Sorry it has taken me sooo long to update my wedding blog! I have been super busy lately....but not with wedding planning!

Today is exactly 9 months until our BIG DAY!!! I can't believe it. There is still soo much to do and figure out! But I am super excited! At the beginning of August my sister and I went bridesmaid dress shopping! We found the most beautiful dress for my sister and have decided that the dresses for the other girls are going to be different since Shara is the maid of honor! So we are stilll looking for the other girls' dress!!

Then last week James and I drove around allll day to model homes in Pasco and it was soooo MUCH FUN!!!! I love looking at houses and can not wait for us to have our own home together forever!! :)

But that is about alll the wedding planning I have done so far! The rest of the time I have been hanging out with the in-laws at the farm and a couple days ago I was soooo proud of myself! I learned how to syphen (spelling?) tubes!!! By the time I finally got one tube I was covered in mud up to my knees, and my arm was cramping up!! Then the soon-to-be father in-law and I had a bet of who could jump over the widest part of the ditch! Well lets just say he made it and I was soaking wet up to my neck cause I fell in!!! haha! But I learned how to syphen tubes!

But that is all I have for now and hopefully soon I will post something exciting!

P.S. My countdown is all messed up and I am going to have to count the days by hand....sooo stay tuned for that! :)

We are in the 200's!

Oh man! Time is starting to fly by! 299 days until the big day! It seems like I have a long time but for all of you who have been a bride before.....well lets just say its about the time you start to stress a little bit! I'm not stressing alot but just a little bit!

I will be honest though! A couple weeks ago I was wishing that the time would go by faster and everyone kept saying "Don't say that, you'll wish you didn't" and now look at me....I'm starting to stress and hoping it doesn't go too fast!!

There is sooo much to do and some stuff I never even thought of! My mom and James' mom keep saying little things here and there and I hit my forehead and say "Oh my gosh, I didn't even think of that"!! haha!! I'm a newbie! :)

I absolutely love our location, but having a destination wedding is definitely a little more stressful! Just alot of planning, organizing and trips to the Gorge!! But I know it is going to be amazing and I can't wait for that weekend to come!

On Wednesday, Shara and I are off to rome the Tri-Cities for bridesmaid dresses and hopefully we will get lucky and find something beautiful!! :)

It's all starting to become real now that we are in the 200's! Soon I will be writing and it'll be down to the 100's and then down to weeks before and then days! Ekkk!

Hellllooooooo 200's! I'm ready for you!:)
