13 Days Until Christmas...


Wow can you believe that? 13 days till Christmas...

I swear time has just been flying by ever since I got out of High School. But lately its been REALLY going fast and I want it to just slow down. Seriously, at this rate I'll be married before you know it. Only 10 more months to go...soon to be 9 months. I'm so glad I've gotten a early start on all this wedding planning stuff. Its weird but I feel stressed even with 10 months to go...haha...like a million lists go through my mind daily from putting down deposits to flowers. I just have to tell myself though that this is a once in a life time event (for me anyways) and that I should take the time to enjoy planning and preparing it. It'll be weird after the wedding...like what happens next??? Haha...then life starts???

I highly recommend everyone to finish school before getting married though. School is consuming and transitioning into such a huge life changing event can be rough when you add school in with it. I'm still debating whether to go back to school. The "plan" is to have James finish and then I'll go back so we can pay for school as we go and not take out loans. I have a feeling though if I do this THEN I won't go back. I know I don't want to start back until at least after the wedding... so Spring of 2011. Plenty of time to figure it out. As long as ONE of us finishes school then I'm not too worried.

So anyways....today me and James had our engagement pictures done at Calotype Photography and it was AWESOME! I really enjoyed the photographer...she was great and she told us exactly how to pose and it was good for us since we have NO clue what we're doing. Next Thursday we are going to look at the proofs and pick out our package. CAN'T WAIT!!!!! I should be able to post pictures after the session...so I'll be sure to post them. Then, we can announce our engagement in the newspapers. One less thing to do on my "to do" list.

Tomorrow, I'm hoping to wrap presents and then finish up on the rest of my Christmas shopping. I'm working on paintings for James mom and his dad and step mom. So I need to go to Hobby Lobby and check out prices for framing these. Also, my mom wants me to finish painting the kitchen...don't know if I'll be able to get to that.
