Hooray For No School!

That's right ladies and gentlemen.  I will not be attending school this semester.  Best decision I ever made.

Wedding plans are coming right along.  I think it's slightly ridiculous that you spend so many hours and so much money planning one single day of your life, but hey, why not jump on the bandwagon?

In other exciting news, we've booked our honeymoon!
Disney World, here we come.  Thanks to a 40% off military discount, we are staying in a nicer hotel for less money than if we stayed in a crappy hotel.  It's a big relief to have more and more stuff out of the way as far as planning goes.

I feel like I'm so busy with wedding planning and work that I haven't had much of a summer.  And now it's pretty much over!

Oh well.  Good thing I love fall.

I Have a Wedding Website!

And here it is.

I'm pretty darn proud of it.
Most likely cuz I suck at computer lingo so it's quite the achievement for me.
Hm... let's see what else do I have done?  I've booked the photographer.  I am going through Swenson Photography. They are great!  I'm really excited about it.
Also, I'm 95% sure that I will be using Belgian Chocolate Fountains for my catering.  If you know me AT ALL, you know how much I'm in love with chocolate fountains!!!

I'm starting school tomorrow.
Here's the plan; I'm registered for three classes; I'll go for a week and see which one I like most, and then I'll only keep one.  It's all I can afford right now.

And that's life right now.

Dear Wedding, I Am Kicking Your Butt Now. Finally. Sort Of.

That's right ladies and gentlemen, I've finally booked the reception center, and did I mention we got bridemaids' dresses?  Yeah I think I did.  So things are moving along just swell.  The place we're having the reception is the Carmelle Reception Center.  Never heard of it?  Well neither had I til I found it on the internet, but it is going to be beautiful!  The inside is going to be gorgeous, I think it is going to be just what I want.  Here are some pictures!

I brought Cord, Sloan, and my mom with me.  Here Cord and Sloan are analyzing the place.

I love how open it is!

I am considering making a grand entrance.  Seriously.

This is where the magic will happen.  Aka the amazing food.  Can't wait!

I called both the catering company, and the photographer I'd like to use.  Hopefully I will be able to get something set up with both of them this next week.  After that I feel like all the big huge stuff will be taken care of!

Me and Cord really need to get serious about house-hunting or apartment-hunting.  I think we just keep letting other things get in the way.  But we're getting married in four months!  Crazy.  We also need to get the honeymoon booked!

Hmmm... what else?  I feel like the last two weeks have been all about playing summer-catch up.  I finally got to take a vacation.  My whole family went to the Oregon coast.  It was so beautiful.  Oregon and Washington are the prettiest states ever.  Hands down.

Clearly, we visited the Tillamook Cheese Factory.  I probably got in the sample line 5 times.

It'd be really cool if I could remember the name of this place.  Pretty lighthouse though!

We ate yummy food.  This is like a giant s'more pan.  SO SO SO SO GOOD.

Needless to say, I gained about five pounds on that trip.
