The Bump

Half a year has come and gone since I last updated here. Oh. My. Goodness.. Half a year?!  Major blogging fail on my part.  I do have lots of exciting things to share in upcoming days so I am going to attempt to be a better blogger once again!

So.. let’s get to the good stuff!

First came love… engaged {12.10.11}

Then came marriage… married {10.12.12}

Then in mid November came a surprise… baby!

And here we are 14 weeks 3 days later…The Bump!

So if you have wondered what I’ve been up to… I hope this answers the question! More updates to come as the bump progresses and I use this as a way to keep family and friends back in Michigan {and elsewhere} informed of the progress!

Checking Off My List

Planning a wedding means having a plethora of to-do lists… none of which I’ve looked at!

I am usually a huge list kind of girl but I haven’t had a chance to sit down and make one for the wedding yet.  But I do have a general idea of what needs to go on the list and am very happy to report that we managed to check off quite a few key list-type items over the last week! {I was very lucky the fiancé was up in the Mitten with me so we could get things done.}  So what exactly have we accomplished?

• Minister – Booked!
• Church – Booked!
• Reception Site – Booked!
• Caterer – Booked!
• Wedding Gown – Purchased!
• Engagement Pics – Taken!
• Save the Dates – Ordered!
• First Pre-Marital Counseling Sesh – Completed!
• Wedding Website – Created!
• Bridal Show – Attended!  Where I got…
• TONS of info on flowers, photographers, photo booths, cakes, hotels, honeymoon sites, bridesmaids dresses, tuxes, limos.. you name something wedding related and it was probably at the show!

Now I’m feeling less stressed and more excited about things again and I’m so thankful things are falling into place for us!

*News <3 Flash*

We interrupt this epic fail of a blog {ie: my months of non-posts} to bring you an EPIC news flash!

I’m ENGAGED!!

It happened one week ago today and we couldn’t be happier!  We were actually in Nashville, TN to celebrate his birthday by attending the Titans vs. Saints game {am I the best GF ever or what?} and I was the one who ended up with the best gift!

Everything is still very new but we DO have a date and a ceremony location picked out.  That being said there are several hundred other things we still need to work out!  The next 10 months or so promise to be ridiculously packed but I can’t wait to see everything fall into place!
