So close!

My dad is home!!!! He got to the ATL airport at about 7 this morning! I can't express how grateful I am for prayer and the people who have kept us in theirs! Wow... talk about tender mercies of the Lord.

Everything is in place and we are moving forth with the wedding. So, on Tuesday I will shed my single status and enter the ranks of the married women.

This past Tuesday I met with the stake president and he signed my wonderful shiny (not really) new temple recommend. I am so thrilled to get to go to the temple I can hardly stand it!

Life is good.

No!

Life is great!

No!

Life is AMAZING!

Single Digits

We are down to the wire here. Everything is in place, my dad is on his way home, the wedding stuff is pretty much all taken care of, and I am pretty much keeping up with my schoolwork.

I discovered today that it takes me about almost 2 full hours to do my hair. An hour and 10 mins of that are just curling it! Thank goodness I will have help. With 2 curling irons going it should g much faster.

Who would have thought that everything could fall into place so quickly. It seems like time has been non-existent lately. People say how long it seems to take right before you get married. I have discovered that the days are long, but they pass faster than I would have ever thought possible. So, soon Casey and I will be sealed together for time and all eternity. I can't wait.

Wow!

I had my temple recommend appointment with my bishop today. I am so excited I can hardly stand it! I get to go to the temple and be able to have all the blessings of the temple. To quote Pride and Prejudice: "It is too much! It is too much! I wish that everyone could be as happy as I am!"

Cake is taken care of and that was the last thing other than getting my train bustled that was on my list. Done done done! Now I just have to wait... ugh.

19 days and Counting

Flowers: Check!

All I need to take care of is the cake! Sweet... no pun intended.

So Little Time

We have 22 days left and I am in a scramble. I went down to GA to pick up my dress over the weekend. It is amazing!!! I would post pictures, but well... Casey reads this blog too. It is so beautiful. I have the caterer all taken care of, the reception site is booked, I have a DJ, a photographer, the invitations are sent, and I just have to take care of cake and flowers.

Keeping up the schoolwork and wedding plans is getting pretty stressful, but I am keeping it together. Casey and I are going to pick out a tux today and then I am heading back here to school for more non-stop homework. Oy... it will all be here faster than I can blink.

The Plans are Raging On

That's right. Raging!

I have a reception location, I am meeting with the caterer on Friday, and I am working on ordering things that I will need from the interwebs. Life is going about a million mile an hour right now and that is all I really have time to write.

*drumroll*

So it looks like we will be able to be sealed on the 24th of November!!! I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I am rapidly making plans for a small reception here near SVU and then we will have two open house in May when my dad gets home. My dad is scheduled to have leave starting the 17th and should get to GA within 4 or 5 days.

So far, I have a DJ that is on standby for a location. The reception space is in the process of being reserved. I am going to check it out tomorrow. This week I am going to call the Temple and schedule my endowment session and the sealing. They are going to be on the same day. Yes, I know I am crazy... but I have no choice.

I met with my bishop today and we talked about plans and such. I am going to have my interview for my temple recommend around the 10th and then I will meet with the stake president within a few days of that. I was able to go do baptisms on the 13th of this month and it was amazing! I love knowing that I am worthy to go to the temple. It is pretty much one of the best feelings in the world.

Now that the wedding plans are underway I will try to keep this thing updated, but since everything is happening so fast it may be spotty. So far so good... just 37 days left!
