And our journey continues...

AH. It's been awhile. AGAIN. I haven't blogged in so long! I can't believe I'm too busy with life to sit down and write for 10 minutes each day. It's just ridiculous. I need to try harder because I love looking back and reading all of my past journal entries! It sure is fun to see how life has changed so much!

Let's do a quick recap of events:

- We have finally, FINALLY, made our decision on where we will have our reception! PRAISE the LORD! It sure was one heck of a ride ;) SO many places and venues to choose from, too many that didn't make the cut, and hard decisions that needed to be made! We were so close to choosing Tom Ham's Lighthouse but, we both decided that it would be too small. It was so hard to turn that place down because the view was just breathtaking! However, we can definitely use that place to have our breakfast the day after the wedding =)
- WE HAVE SET A DATE!!!!! June 11th, 2011. God is Good. He really is. Caleb has made it to the VMU. Such a slim chance of him making it in that unit, but with God, all things are possible. This means he'll be deploying in the fall, and we'll have our wedding when he comes back. Definitely going to be a hard and difficult time for me, so please keep me in prayer...and him too! I just want to be married to him already! He is definitely the man of my dreams. =)
- I bought my dress! It's beautiful and I can't wait to wear it. It's custom made so it'll be arriving in December. I honestly cannot remember how exactly it looks like, so I am very eager to see it again in my size!
- I visited Caleb for Memorial Day weekend in North Carolina...my next home state =) Some points to mention: Mosquitos, flying cockroaches, crazy humidity, awesome church friends, fun time strolling downtown and seeing all the bear statues, crazy humidity, lots of homemade dinners from my wonderful fiance, my first promotion's ceremony, a nice and relaxing fight (haha), a romantic picnic by the lake made possible by my loving prince charming. All in all, a great visit, except for our itty bitty quarrel! =) I love my man so much, I would rather fight with him all the time (he is super duper patient with me while we are fighting) than be in love with anyone else!
- Caleb visited me for July 4th weekend! We met with the Meurer's and booked them as our wedding photographer. Met with our caterer and cannot WAIT to see how beautiful they will make our wedding! Um...went to a lot of venues, went downtown to shoot some pool, had a great fourth of july with friends, and all in all, just really enjoyed our time together. Tried a new restaurant in little Italy (Bencottos), enjoyed ourselves at PB, especially the sushi lunch date...yum!
- Now I am waiting for next month. I'll be seeing him in August for his family reunion and I can't wait!

Anyway, that's all I can afford to write tonight. My brain is way too tired to cohesively string together any more sentences. I had a great day with my friend Jack. We exercised at Hilltop Park (3 miles!), cooked a great lunch (caesar salad, trader joe's salsa and chip, pesto tortellini and organic tomato basil sauce, and lots of chocolate for dessert), packed the kits for her class she's teaching tomorrow, went to Michaels, shopped and got yelled at by the salesperson because I didn't know I couldn't take pictures in the dressing room, ate some dairy queen, shopped for rings at Jared's which was SUPER fun! and finally stopped to get some Boba. such a great day with a great person!

I have to wake up early tomorrow for church, so I'll be heading to bed NOW. I will promise to journal more often, even if I'm just writing down a sentence!

TFM.
