Summer summary, so far...

Sorry little blog, I know I've been neglecting you.  Life has been so busy with summer and our upcoming nuptials.  I've started at least 5 different posts but none of them have made it up, obviously.  What have I been up to of late in summary fashion... =)


Family Reunion) 34 out of 44 aunts, uncles and cousins were there. Not bad. I was able to see two of my cousins little ones that I hadn't seen yet since they were born. Both cuties! My family threw together a short bridal shower for L-dub and I, of course with a game aimed and embarassing us. (what is a bridal shower without an embarassing game or two. lol). There was card playing, picture taking, marshmallow roasting and lots of laughter. All in all a great time, can't wait to do it all again in two years.


Boating/wakeboarding) Yes, we've made it out a few times. woohoo! I don't know what I did over my summers before I found this glorious hobby! ;) L-dub has even managed to get the hang of it.  If it were up to me I'd spend all night every night out on the water. Perhaps someday we'll have a lakehouse and a beautiful wake boat. Until then my dad's tri-hull powder blue boat will suffice. =)


Wedding planning) Ah yes, what has taken up the majority of my time. Honestly I feel as though my mother and sister have been doing the large majority of the work up to this point. I spose in a few years I'll be able to pay my sis back when it's her turn.  Now that it's a month away we're kicking things into high gear. Having to make serious decisions, no time to change our minds now.  I've had my first dress fitting and will have the 2nd (hopefully final) one in ONE weeks.  Can't wait!
Honeymoon tickets have been booked, RSVPs are rolling in, the flowers and food will be ordered shortly... and then in a mere 30 days I'll be married to my best friend, awesome! <3

God has so amazingly blessed me over this last summer, this last year.  It's cool to sit down and reflect where I was a mere year ago and see all that He has changed in my life.  So often I think we put God in a box, if things aren't happening in our time frame surely they won't be happening at all.  Then He swoops in, turns your life upside down and settles you into a new normal that you'd never expect.  Silly me to underestimate my Lord and what He is capable of.
