We are getting married in 24 days!

I am so excited about our upcoming wedding. Everything is going much smoother than I ever thought that it would...I hope that doesn't jinx us. The other day I watched an episode of Dr. Phil about "Wedding Disasters". That was a bad idea. One bride spent $35,000 on her wedding and the groom didn't show up. That OF COURSE prompted me to call Anthony to inform him that this BETTER NOT happen to me! He laughed and called me Bridezilla, but hey I wanted to make sure I covered all of my bases.

About a week ago I got stung by a wasp...in my chest! Only I would get stung by a wasp and break out all over my chest...did I mention my dress is strapless!? The rash has cleared, but there is an ugly scare there that I am sure will not be gone in the next few weeks.

On top of all of the wedding planning and wasp sting (not to mention being busy at work)...I was too weak to say no to being the director of our church's Vacation Bible School again this year! I must be nuts! I initially said no, but then I started to feel guilty about always asking the Lord to bless us and then when it's time to do something for him I am "too busy." So to say the least I'm doing it!

All in all life is good and I am eagerly anticipating our upcoming nuptials. I promise to blog again before the wedding!

Bridal Shower

This weekend was my bridal shower. I can't believe we are getting married next month! My bridesmaids hosted a bridal shower in my honor and I had a blast. They planned a tropical themed shower...the decorations and food were great. I am so blessed to have such great friends and wonderful family.

Below are a few pictures...

They did such a great job decorating.



Isn't this pretty



Everyone was so gracious...I got tons of gifts...now it's time to write thank-you notes.
