Day 226: Little Details

226 days to go 'til we're hitched.... just amazing! We're learning a lot each day as we journey through this season of engagement, and enjoying each lesson. We've definitely fallen more in love- it's so awesome!

Some of the smaller details have been nailed down, which is very exciting for me. A few that I've checked off the list are:

- Marriage Counseling: IT'S ON THE CALENDAR! Yay! We'll be spending 13 weeks in pre-marital counseling with Sean and Barbara Yost. We start next Wednesday. It'll be challenging, fun, and so much more.... Excited to grow and learn during this time.

- Flower Girl Basket: I found a flower girl basket at a local party shop.... it was out of my price range for such a small detail, but oh goodness it was MADE FOR MY WEDDING! Absolutely perfect. I've never seen another like it, which draws me to it even more. Well, now it's mine (and LoLo's!!!) Yippee!

- "First Dance" Song: Since the beginning of our dating relationship there's been a song that Jeramy has always called "our song"... it's an upbeat, totally adorable song that melts me heart every time I hear it. BUT, since it was upbeat I didn't want to use it for our first dance. Just last week, I was scanning this artist on iTunes, and he JUST came out with a SLOW version of OUR SONG, as he plays the piano. It is so beautiful. The other day I listened to it and just cried, picturing that "us" time on the dance floor, in each others arms, married!....... "First Dance" Song, Check!

- Cake Appointment: This Friday afternoon Jeramy and I were able to get an appointment scheduled with a local baker we've heard so much about- Metro Custom Cakes. We'll meet with them to taste their cakes, hear their prices, and see if they are the ones meant to make our wedding cake. :-)

- Engagement Photos: Our engagement photo session on Sunday went UH-MAZING! Thanks to Adam Szarmack (www.szarmackphotography.com) !!! He captured some precious moments, and funny times.... as I'm sure you can imagine if you know anything about Jeramy and his humor! I can't wait to see all of the pics. Jesus gave us a flawless purple, orange, red, and blue sunset that created a mind-boggling backdrop for the evening shots in the field. Just wait........... ;-)

- Bridesmaid Dress: After seeing the dress on 3 of the bridesmaids, I decided on it! We found a GORGEOUS, flowy, elegant bridesmaid gown that will add a touch of class to the evening. I'm so excited to see all of the girls in it- they will look so beautiful! 


I'm thankful to the Lord for some extended time to plan and knock things off the list this past week... I didn't know if extra time would ever come. But, He made a way and I'm so grateful! It's all so surreal- my best friend is going to be mine forever. What an incredible reality!!!

Love you all,
