HEY GUYS!  Long time, no hear from, right?  Well, alot has happened since the last post!  I left you guys back in August, telling you about us not being able to keep our date which was originally set for August of this year.  As devastating as that was, it ended up being for the best!  As it turns out, this year, we HAVE to move.  It was always one of those things that we knew that we needed to do, but was like "we'll start looking in a few months".  Always putting it to the side.  But due to our building's new management and their policies (and the lack of size for a young family of 4, we are oozing out of every nook and cranny), we will start the house hunt this week!

With a Heavy Heart...

So I have been contemplating writing this post because I don't want to face this reality.  I don't want to even digest this as an option even though its the right thing to do.

I have had to do the worst (well, not really) thing in wedding planning history and change my date.  I have decided to change it due to promises that have to be fulfilled, indecisiveness and not being where I want to be in the planning process.

My husband promised our children a Disney World Trip next summer and I cannot even fathom paying for Disney AND a renewal at the same time.  It would be totally selfish of me to tell my children "You have to wait until Mommy and Daddy have their wedding renewal to go to the most magical place on Earth!"  Also, there are so many open-ended projects and decisions that need making to make this day come together as I would want it to.  I have been to TOO many weddings (or events for that matter) that look as if they were just thrown together to let that be my day!  We are paying for this, so it's going to be everything that I have wanted and more!

Are you invited?...

Happy Summer Everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you a site that I was told about from my manager (who is getting married this September, Congrats Jenna!!!) called Wedding Paper Divas that provide low cost, beautiful invitations for your special day.  As soon as she told me about it, I went on the site and checked it out.  To my surprise (and advantage) they were holding a special promotion where you could get 8 samples for free and also have them shipped for free!  I jumped on it immediately!!! 

Updating...

Hey Loves!  Just giving you an update on where I am on the planning.  So far, I have found a photographer, which is a friend of mine that I had the pleasure of decorating for her wedding about 5 years ago.  She is a photographer and she has the kind of eye that I am looking for.  With me trying to start out in the same field, I am really picky about what I want done and how I want it to look.  I already know that I want to shoot my "getting ready" pics and video (dont ask me how, but it's gonna happen!).  These will be memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life and I know that she will do a great job at capturing the evening.
