Well we are under the 6 month mark now and last night we booked our honeymoon spot. We are headed to 

	San Juan, Puerto Rico
	St. Thomas, USVI
	Fun Day at Sea
	Barbados
	St. Lucia, WI
	St Kitts, WI
	St. Maarten, NA

I am very excited and can't wait until we depart! We have sent out save the dates and the invitations are almost complete. Stacy has ordered her dress and Mal and Jilli will be doing so in a few weeks! We are going to pick the food out in a couple of months and get that taken care of too. So many things are coming together that I can't wait any longer!

Chris and I have bought the center pieces for the tables! Thank goodness for Hobby Lobby and their sales! It only took about 2 hours for us to figure out exactly what we wanted. we had a few ideas and I had to show Chris exactly what I meant so we had them all set up in the floral department of the store trying to decide which one we liked the best.

I asked my cousin Lauren to be one of my bridesmaids and she was so excited!!! I love being able to share this time in my life with people that love me and want to be apart of my day! I gave her a bracelet with a heart on it with one side having the date 10/7/2011 and the other saying Bridesmaid. I was so happy she was so excited!! I just glad I have such great people in my life!

Chris and I have added more to our Macy's registry. I find myself making new recipes then going "man I need this tool or this pot" then heading over to the computer and adding it! I can't wait till I have a full kitchen of stuff!

Well, we got our engagement photos back and they are amazing! I am so glad that we did them! Here are a few of our favorites-

Okay so there are a lot more than a few but they all turned out so good!!

I have made my ring bear pillow, no point in spending $50 dollars on something that I could do myself for $10 (thanks for teaching me how to sew grandma)! Other then that we have made a decision on which save the date we want to send out now we are just trying to get address's from everyone (our friends really need to stop moving).

Well, I got an e-mail from the bridal salon and my dress has been ordered. They hope to have it in the store mid to late Feb! We are still waiting on the Engagement photos, we hope to have them next week. I think we have found a possible DJ we just need to meet with them to see if hes the one we really want. Everything else is pretty much set, I have a check list on the knot and it tells me that I have completed 40 tasks and I have 150 more to go! Chris and I will be celebrating three years together at the end of the month not sure what we are doing for it but I know that homemade pizza will be on the list. (it was what we had on our first date).

I just found out we have a blog!!! WAHOO!! Not sure how I convinced Michelle to let me post here... I've noticed that there is a lot to planning a wedding... cakes, reception, dance, guests, colors, church, dress, tux, dj, flowers, etc... I've been having a lot of fun though! I'm only going to do this once so might as well be involved. I haven't vetoed as much as Michelle says I have by the way... she's been doing a kick ass job!

The pictures were a lot of fun and I'm suprised how many pictures he actually took (I felt like a model ha, vogue). I'm not gonna lie... cake testing may have been my favorite. There's just something special about eating cupcakes at 10a.m.!

At some point I'll try on tuxes; but, until then, later blog...

Well here it is, in under a year I will become Mrs. Chris Armour.

Chris and I have been dating for almost 3 years ( October 31, 2007) and have been engaged for about 9 months (December 30, 2009). I have got quite a bit done already. The dress is bought, bridesmaids dresses are figured out, (most of them have their shoes now too), the venue and church is booked, as well as the cake! I can't believe how much I have done!

The Myth :

We had our engagement photos taken on Sunday and I can't wait to see them. Hopefully we will get them back within a few weeks. Then I can do my save the dates, and work on the invites. The hardest part about the planning so far is the guest list. I couldn't have imagined that so many people wanted to celebrate with us, and most of them want to be in the wedding too! Chris is amazing he wants to have a say in everything, which is great (he has only vetoed a few ideas).
