Wedding Planning Sneak Peak

Even though there are only a few pictures I can post (in the off chance Jesse ever reads this), I think I should blog about wedding planning so I can look back on it again some day.  Everyone keeps saying how quickly it will go by, and I'd hate to forget all of the excitement.  Wedding planning started out being not so fun; I was taking part is some major stress-related meltdowns. It started out being stressful because, as it turns out, only a crazy lady would try to plan a wedding on her own, 3000 miles away.  My family has been beyond helpful, but there's only so much this control freak will let others handle. So at last, 2 churches and 3 reception venues later, we solidified a plan. 

I flew home to Pennsylvania two weeks ago, and my parents drove up from North Carolina. My mom, grandma, Phran, Kathryn and I had an action packed weekend. My grandma is amazing. She set up all of the appointments for the dress fitting, florist, flower nursery, cake, church, and wedding planner. This wedding would not be happening without her (picture me running around in circles, crying).

Best Friends

I typed this post weeks ago and then never hit send.

It's the first day of Fall today, my favorite season, and I just lit the spiced apple candle that Lindsey brought me last weekend. Oh yeah, Lindsey came to visit last weekend! I needed it. This is the first move we've made with zero friends and it's rough.  Even though I really enjoy moving frequently and trying out new places (and new jobs), I have recently realized that moves have always been really easy because our friends have moved with us.  This time around, everyone went their separate ways and it's kind of lonely.

I'm lucky to have a best friend who has visited us just about every place we've lived.  Lindsey is 5 months pregnant so our shenanigans have taken on a different purpose, but we're both at pretty exciting points in our lives: wedding planning and baby preparation. We spent the weekend stuffing our faces, catching up, shopping for maternity clothes/rehearsal dinner dresses, and brainstorming over nursery fabric swatches.  The weekend went by far too quickly but it was a great visit :)
