Today marks 1 year until Johnny and I say our vows to one another! I cannot beleive that just almost three months ago Johnny asked me to be with him for the rest of our lives. Planning has been going great. We picked our date November 3, 2012 (duh, year from today:) I have tried our best to get the word out there to as much family for planning time. We will be sending out Save the Dates soon! We looked at several venues and as dad would say, "you went with the first look?" This place we just kept going back to and cound't imagine ourselves anywhere else. We will be getting married in Yelm at the Lake Lawrence Lodge. It's a very "rustic" old timber wood/eposed beams place with a stone fire place. The inside reminds me of a "barn like" that we were going for. It's got high ceilings and we're next Lake Lawrence. One thing that I am so excited about it most places we looked at you had to pay by the hour. This place with the flat rate we get from Friday noon all the way to Sunday noon. This will allow us time to decorate ect, without having to constantly look at the clock. Our Wedding Party is ready, even though we are still waiting on Johnny's brother who is not sure if he is going overseas. Let's see, we went to the Tacoma Dome Wedding Expo where we found our Cake Lady. I'm not sure how much I am allowed to share or keep things secret. haha. We will be making an appointment with a DJ who I am sure we will be going with. We're working on getting proposals from Caterers and still waiting to find the Photographer that's "the one." Last but not least us girls went to our first Dress place and found THE ONE! Ksavera and Jason recommeded a Florist that they picked through their hunt. So far we have been pretty organized and a head of our game....we would just like to make sure that all of our ducks are in a row along with paying and getting things now so it's not ALL a huge bunch. I also will be calling the travel agency for our Honeymoon to get qoutes. Our colors are the Fall Pallet and everyone is being so helpful! I have watched a few bridezilla shows to help me learn what not to be...haha.
Well, stay tuned for the next 365 days with the ups and down of planning our Wedding :)
