The Countdown Begins!

Vance and I are getting married in three weeks and two days...or 23 days. It seems so close. This engagement seems to be flying by.

Projects such as centerpieces, food, flowers, cakes, dinners, etc are basically planned. It has been a lot of work... even with a lot of help from my mom, future mother-in-law, siblings, and friends. I am excited to see how it all comes together!

Well, Vance has been such a trooper through it all. He is the best fiance anyone could ask for. He regularly asks "What can I do to help?" and of course I let him. He is calm through it all. I love the idea of marriage, not only because it is good and right, because I looove his companionship, but also because I'm learning to work with someone. I've been single for 26 years and I make decisions for myself, usually on my own (often with some help and advice from parents). But now lots of everyday decisions, planning, coordinating are with another person. To most it seems completely natural, but I realize I'm not the best at it but love learning with him.

It is going to be a busy month.....during the next week we will be in Wisconsin for my Kindt family reunion. My sister is also due with her first baby this week. When we come back we have one day to repack and head to southern Utah for his Murray family reunion. When we get back from that...it will be a week prior to the wedding!! After the wedding we'll have our honeymoon (it is a surprise for me, I don't know where) and then off to Wisconsin again for a second reception. It is going to be a WONDERFUL, CRAZY, AND FUN month of July!

Oh, it's going to be so wonderful! I went with your mom to figure out some centerpiece stuff, and get fabric for tablecloths this week. Joe and I are still toying with the idea of watching for cheap tickets to maybe still come to the WI reception... it sure is going to be beautiful in your mom's backyard!

I just got your invitation. You guys look cute. I was going to tell you we just bought a house next to the timp. temple. It has an extra guest bedroom, so if you have any body coming up for the wedding who needs a place to stay they are more than welcome to stay with us!
