Countdown: 12 days
Promise to catch all of you little birds up soon, especially this week. Things have been much of a whirlwind the past month. A lot of bittersweet moments, time I’m really trying to cherish with family and friends before I pack up and become a Texan. The Lord has been so kind recently and I have felt so undeserving of it all. Not only have I been in this preparation stage of becoming a wife, but I’m really beginning to feel a multitude of change within me overall. Yes, I’m entering into full “adult status”, however, I feel this has been one of the most difficult, yet beneficial seasons of my life. I’m so thankful to have been blessed with so many amazing friends, friends I once dreamed of having. As ready as I now am to get this wedding rolling, I’m still wanting to hold tightly to the minutes of each day to soak in and be able to remember every laugh, every thought, every action that happens throughout my long, yet short days.
On another note, I received a call about my dress today, and we are finally going back up Thursday for my (hopefully) last dress fitting and bring that baby home on Friday. For those of you unaware, I went up for my first fitting two weeks ago, and when they made my dress, they definitely added enough length, though not enough in the torso. Thanks to my 6’ frame, some issues were bound to happen. BUT they were able to send it back to the designer in NY and it is being overnighted Wednesday and will be there Thursday! Woohoo!
For now, I am off to search for some burlap fabric. mmmm. Blog soon! Love and peaches.
So excited LAD has now joined tumblr land! She has been one of my dearest friends since high school, and her gift of writing is so inspiring. So thankful for you, LAD! Follow her here! : http://laurashleyd.tumblr.com/
Sneak peek into our Dallas shoot last week. The photographer who took these (Lindsey Brittain) will be shooting our wedding, and this was my first time meeting her. I am even more excited about our wedding day with her being there - she is such a fun, genuine, loving person. This picture will also be in the paper for our wedding announcement - yep. we’re going that far. :)
Um, I love this a lot.
we are totally going to do this on our farm.
you guys are all invited, but just a warning- we don’t put butter on our popcorn, so you’re on your own there.
My precious (with a tooon of personality :) ) little flower girl. Apologies for the quality being so bad, Blackberry is losing it’s faithfulness. We are thinking of adding a sash to her dress around the waist, and then she will also have a flower or two in her hair like me.
Cute story from last week. She told her mom one day, “Mama, you know I’ve been thinking. When I walk down that path, I think I should wear a hat that says ‘LOVE’.” I am a lucky bride to have such a creative flower girl. :)
Bridesmaids’ dresses are ordered and I am toooo excited!! Jcrew sent me the color swatches that I chose for the girls to choose from, and they are even more beautiful in person. I tried to take a picture of them to post, but the picture makes them look so much different. I gave the girl’s three different dress style options and 2-4 color choices listed with each dress. I wanted the girls to pick the one they loved and would feel most comfortable in. What is so neat is that we turned out with 3 of each color! It turned out PERFECT! So so excited to see all of them standing up there in their beauty. Yay for the little things falling into place!
Whenever I see this picture, I can’t help but cry and wonder why someone would do this for me. He loved me and died for me, so why not live for Him? I’m not ashamed to call Him my Saviour and my God ♥
And I know I’m weak
I know I’m unworthy
To call upon Your name
But because of grace
Because of Your mercy
I stand here unashamedHere I am, at your feet
In my brokenness, complete.-Unashamed: Starfield
Lord I needed this today. Puts everything in perspective.
Humbled by Your amazing and beautiful Grace. Thank you, Jesus.
