50 days.

i am getting EXTREMELY excited to be a wife to my best friend nick in less than 50 days. wowza did the time go fast planning and preparing for this date. i am feeling very "on top" of thing thus far- but a HUGE shout out to my mother for making sure i stay motivated to get stuff done. i am thrilled with the way that my "crafty" projects have turned out thus far :) most of these are going to be used as decorations for the wedding, although some are little tricks up my sleeve for my bridesmaids gifts--shhh! don't tell them.  the countdown is on- bring it on june and july, i'm coming on strong and ready to get everything done before august arrives. :) 


on a side note: this means that there is LESS than 50 days until my little brother comes home from the Marines boot camp!!! this ALSO means that HE WILL BE JOINING us for the wedding!! that is such a BLESSING!! we are so proud that he will be able to say he completed boot camp training and we will continue to celebrate with him coming home and sharing in the joys of our wedding.  (please continue to pray that he finishes these last 5 weeks strong, so that he is able to make it home in time) 


I learned a saying once: "God is good all the time. All the time, God is good!" This is so true! Even with the struggles, HE still REIGNS!  i have really had to learn to trust in His timing lately. this isn't always an easy thing to do. as i prepare for a new life with a soon-to-be husband, i pray that we continue to learn and grow together experiencing God's timing with each new step. 




and.. for all of you out there that asked for a sneak peak into decorations for the wedding.. this has been TOTALLY REVAMPED since this photo was taken.. I'm excited to show you the reveal soon :) 

thanks to my lovely mother for helping with this project.
