1 Year Ago

One year ago Fred and I got engaged! Who knew it would have flown as fast as it did?

At this time last year, we were waiting to hear if Fred got into grad school. Now he's in his second quarter.

Other "who knew?"s:

• Who knew that our engagement would be 15 months?
• Who knew we'd be going to beautiful Hawaii for our honeymoon?
  
• Who knew Kirk would be moving to New Zealand for a year? Anyone up for a visit?
  
• Who knew his team would win an Oscar for the movie Benjamin Buttons?Good job Kirk!
  
• Who knew that so many other of our friends and family would also be getting married this year? Mark & Becky, Allyson & Matt, James & Katie, Sue & Andrew, Tracy & Philip, Dave & Beth
• Who knew that baby Pauling or baby Winfree would be on their way?
• Who knew the world would be blessed with the arrivals of baby Mikey and Luke?
  
• Who knew that my job would change so much and now be one that I enjoy? Thank God!

We've been blessed to have so many good things happening in our lives!

100 DAYS!

I remember shortly after we got engaged thinking of how long 15 months will take to go by and when someone told me it would go by fast, I didn't believe them. BELIEVE IT!

Today the 100 days countdown officially begins. YIKES! Still so lots to do.

Wish us luck!

Planning a Shower

No, not my own, but for one of my bridesmaids...Tracy! Tracy and Philip will be getting married 3 weeks after us in Kentucky. Because every bride deserves to be showered with love, with the help of her mom, I'll be throwing Tracy a shower in just a few weeks. Crazy? Maybe, but it's worth it! Luv ya trac!

So I decided to make the shower invitations because of the short time frame. Tracy's color is yellow/charteuse.

4 Months To Go

WOW! Where has the time gone? When we first got engaged last May, thinking of a Sept 09 wedding seemed like forever. Take my word for it, it flies by extremely fast. So no new exciting updates. I decided to share a glimpse of my world by sharing my May To Do List.
