One Year from Today...

Mat and I will be getting married! Now it seems like it isn't so far away. Tomorrow, I can say "in less than a year" we'll be getting married! Panic time! Just kidding. We have lots of time, so I am not too worried yet.

I have plans to go shopping on Wednesday with my mom for my wedding dress! I am really looking forward to that and really hope we find something or at least get some ideas. I don't really know what I want yet, so maybe that will be good when I start looking.

Tonight Mat and I are meeting with a mortgage lender to see what we can qualify for as far as a loan goes. I am really excited to be moving forward with looking for a house. We both are really ready to have our own home and get out of the apartment living. So this is our first step and then we might be able to spend some time looking online for houses this weekend. We aren't working on Monday in hopes that we could actually go see some houses. But it is kind of last minute, so we may not be able to. But we can at least do some driving around to see some of the houses that we find online.

Saturday is my sister's baby shower! I think we are pretty much ready to go. There are a couple last minute items we need, but other than that all systems are go.

That's about it for now. I'm so excited for both the wedding and looking for a house. If only Mat and I didn't have to work anymore. Wouldn't that be great?

Oh Where, oh where have we been?

I'm back in action with the blog! It's been awhile since I wrote, I got caught up in loads of conference work and then I got to go to the conferences. So I am now back, and settled in a little.

Not much has been going on with us. Mat is still in the process of looking for a job, but he still is working so there isn't a rush. Just mainly a rush for him because he is ready to get out of his current job! We are getting anxious to start the wedding planning! We have 9 days until we get into the "less than a year away".

Mat was in his best friend Cory's wedding this past weekend and it was great for us to get to see how it all played out. It was a great wedding and the place they held it was beautiful. I can't wait to see how all the pictures turn out. And man, did they take a lot of pictures! It was really fun for me, since I got to tag along with Christina and the bridal party. I tried to do my best to help out with anything they needed, since I know it can be a stressful day. But I got to see them take all the pictures and just how the whole day happened. Christina looked beautiful and her dress was so pretty! Mat, of course, looked so handsome in his tux. We both just can't wait until our wedding! So now we are going to start our search for caterers, photographers, cake, etc. There is a lot to do, but we have a lot of time to do it in.

Next weekend is my sister's baby shower! This is going to be so much fun and I am really looking forward to it.

That's about it for now. Hopefully, I can get back into more regular posts now that work has slowed down a little. We'll just wait and see though!
