Better When We're Together

I decided today that Stephan and I need a quiet night together, enjoying each other’s company with no TV or phone distractions. With that being said, I grabbed a couple specialty items from the grocery store and came home to make some yummy dinner while Stephan was at work. On tonight’s menu: Chicken & Cream Cheese stuffed Jalapenos, Mini Pizza with pesto, Canadian bacon, red onion, tomato, and black olives, and tomato & mozzarella salad with black olives. I also sliced up some gouda to snack on. What a yummy palate!!! I can’t wait for him to get home.

I decided to look through all of my CD’s as I recalled that I had created several love song CD’s in the past. I am now listening to them, drinking some wine and reminiscing… one of the songs was Better Together by Jack Johnson. It brought a smile to my face because I know that Stephan and I are PERFECT together. I love him so much!! :-) I can’t wait for him to get home tonight so we can begin our weekend together.






Love,

Wahoooo!

16 more days until the Big Day!!! I cannot believe how fast the time has gone. Everyone said that the time will fly by and at first it dragged but man, the last few weeks have flown by and now I can’t believe it’s so close. There is still so much to do to plan for out of town guests, wedding rehearsal and the wedding itself but it is all coming together nicely. We just can’t wait for the I Do’s and to really begin our lifetime together!

We have been busy working on all the “little” big things like groomsman shirts, rehearsal dinner, flowers, caterer, and gifts. Our to-do list is getting a bit smaller as the days countdown but there is still plenty to do. We still need to orchestrate our music, confirm guest arrival times, and I need to go pick up the unmentionables and my shoes! I have booked my mani/pedi for the day before we leave, which felt so amazing. A little pampering before the trip is just what I will need! So excited!

My mom was in town for almost the whole month of July. We had a great time with her and I know she loved spending time with us. My mom and I were able to take a day and go fabrics shopping for my dress. I just can’t wait to share the pictures with everyone. My dress is absolutely beautiful! While my mom was here we enjoyed some yummy food, spent some quality momma/daughter time together, and enjoyed this lovely Texas heat. I joked with her and called her the “Crazy Lady” because she drove ALL THE WAY from New Hampshire and back just to spend a month with her daughter and soon to be son-in-law. That’s some crazy right there!

A big Thank You goes out to my lovely coworkers at the Craig Ranch Information Center. They threw a beautiful surprise wedding shower for me last night. I was SO surprised, felt so special and am so grateful to have such a great group of ladies as some of my closest friends. They really are the best!

Anywho, at the rate that I update this blog it won’t be until after the wedding when you will hear from me again….. However, I just might pop in and update y’all because I am really going to try and be around a little bit more!!

Love,
