Wedding Week!

Wedding week is here bloggers! Just a quick run down of the week's festivities:

1. Monday night- buying the remainder of the food for the reception with Missy!
2. Tuesday night- my co-workers are throwing me one last shower :)
3. Wednesday night- wrap presents with J, pack for honeymoon and then meet with Pastor Dennis to work out any kinks we might have.
4. Thursday: Make cupcakes with Mom, decorate rehearsal dinner hall with the Mother in Law and meet with the DJ.
5. Friday: Decorate the reception hall and wedding venue, run to get Shea to fix my hair for the rehearsal dinner, head to the rehearsal then to the rehearsal dinner!!
6. Saturday: Hair, makeup, lunch, get dressed, pictures and then it's WEDDING TIME!

Hope that everyone had a blessed Easter Sunday. He is Risen, He is Risen INDEED! I love our church, we experienced Easter service in 3D yesterday at Elevation! They did a phenomenal job, the message was incredible! Pastor Steven preached on:

Acts 1:8 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”


We decided that we're going to church next Sunday before we head on the Honeymoon as a great way to start our marriage :) The new series they're starting next week is called Mr. & Mrs. Better Half, we've very excited about it and to see what God has to show us!

After church and lunch with my side of the family, I dropped J off at Dana and Patrick's to help Patrick finish up staining their deck.

Buddy and Tucker FINALLY got to meet yesterday, they loved each other! Hopefully they'll have many more play dates over the summer :)

I  made Chicken Parmesan from scratch except for the sauce (from a jar) last night. I must say I was impressed with myself, J was thrilled since I've never made anything like this before!

Work is going to be crazy busy over the next three days but I've decided I can't get stressed about it, whatever I dont' get done will just be here when I get back! I can't wait to see all of my girls together this week and for the whole wedding to play out, God's going to handle it all for me and I'm praying for minimal stress!
Countdown: 5 days!

Progress

So, I started on my seemingly endless list of 'Thank You' cards last night. I got about 15 done and then J brought me some Chinese food and that was the end of the cards for last night. I'm going to start on the rest of them tonight and tomorrow. My hand hurts today from writing so much already.

Over the weekend I feel like we got a ton accomplished on the house. Friday night was a lazy night of family time with my mom, grandma and Carson. They brought us BBQ and we all enjoyed our tester cake for the wedding as a dessert! It was fabulous :) I'm so pleased with how it will look and taste. We watched The Pacifier and J passed out on the couch. Saturday, bright and early, J and I headed to Lowe's and picked up outlet and light covers, a new fan for the living room, gas can and mirror for the powder room. The mirror for the powder room completed the look we were going for in there and we've decided not to change out the pedestal sink and save a few dollars. Saturday night we ended up at Dana and Patrick's to watch some of the Final 4 basketball games and which was a lot of fun since I got to hold Baby Whit for a while! Don't get any idea's, no babies for a long time. We're not ready even the slightest little bit. Sunday we went to church and learned about God's Purpose, watch the sermon online at www.elevationchurch.org. After church we headed to get the trailer from J's parents house to pick up our new washer and dryer and furniture from my Grandma's. Well, I didn't help with the furniture since I was at Rachel's Bridal Shower! It was so fun to see and meet all of her family and close friends, she got all kinds of goodies. Can't wait for her wedding in September! We did yard work in the afternoon and J became better acquainted with our new neighbor Alan, he helped rip up our bushes and sawzaw our Leland Cypress trees. We have a whole NEW yard now, it's ridiculous! Can't wait to plant grass in the fall and get some flowers planted.

This past weekend didn't fly by like normal which was a nice change honestly, I think God knows I've wanted time to slow down for a while now. 3 1/2 weeks til I'm off of work for the wedding! Happy Monday to all you bloggers :)
