Many things in the works!

We are almost in the 100's! :)  It is starting to go by fast and I am sooo excited! On November 19th we will be down to 6 months! YAY!! Its crazy how much I still need to do and get done. It's just so hard because a lot of things can't be done until a couple months before the wedding! But some of the fun starts tomorrow!

SHELLAC!!! If none of you ladies out there have had shellac done to your nails, you are missing out! It is amazing! I am getting mine done tomorrow for the second time! It's a hard nail polish that makes your nails harder and kind of gives the look of fake nails but without the damage! Everyone needs to try it!

But we have many things in the works right now and hopefully I will be blogging about them in the next month or two! On Saturday we have our engagement pictures with Ali Walker who does amazing work! I follow her blog religiously! Check her blog out!  I am sooo excited for pictures and cannot wait to see how they turn out! I hope the weather is nice and not rainy or super super cold haha!!

I have also been working on save the dates, invitations (rsvp cards, directions cards, etc.), programs and many other paper items for the wedding! Since I love graphic design and worked at a graphc design shop for 3 years I decided I would create them all myself and I am loving the style I have going so far! James also is loving it and thinks it looks really cool! I can't wait to share them with you all and hoepfully I will be able to share them sometime in November....well at least the save the dates cause those need to go out by middle/end of November! :)  And then its also about time to register at stores for gifts!! Now thats going to be fun...not sure James if is looking foward to those couple of days but we shall see!

Once January hits this wedding will be here in no time and like I've said a billion times....I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!! So many things will be happening starting at the new year and my blog will be overwhelmed with posts!

I will also try to get all the pages on my blog finished soon! :) 

I'm not sure if I have metioned my colors for the wedding yet! Here they are!




Most of the wedding is going to be very simple black and white with bursts of royal/cobalt blue! I'm really excited to see how it all turns out....I hope everything goes together and it will look nice! I love weddings and would love to plan weddings for a living but we will see if I am good at it after my wedding hehe :)

Stay Tuned!

I now pronounce you husband and wife.....

Today we had our first meeting with our officiant! It was AWESOME!! I am really excited for him to officiate our wedding and I think our ceremony will be perfect!!

We had such a good time today talking about our relationship and how it all began! We started to outline our ceremony and what all will be included and said! I am really excited because it is going to be totally personal and definitely about James and I! I love the personal touches we are adding that are specific to James and I!

After our meeting I got sooo excited about it all that now I am feeling really good about the wedding and I think it will be perfect!! Even though I stress about decorations and details...I know that the ceremony is going to be everything I dreamed of and I can't wait for it to happen!

So tonight James and I came home and did our homework! The officiant had us take an assesment test individually and in two weeks we will find out how compatible we really are ;) haha!!

So yeah, I'm excited  to plan our wedding with the officiant and talk to him about our relationship and get some advice!!
Soon will be saying I DO!! :)
