2010 is on it's way !!

2009 is about to come to an end and what an amazing year it has been. I have to admit it really did open my eyes to a few things that I did not know about myself. I thought at first saying it that it sounded funny ..how could you not know yourself? You think you would know everything there is to know about your ownself but trust me there are a few things I believe everyone hides from themselves. I know now that Im great for giving advice but Im bad at taking my own. It wasn't untill after all things seemed to bury me and stress was at it's highest and funds were at there lowest ever did I begin to hear my own words. I remembered the things I would tell my friends and realized that there was no need to worry not stress the things that you can't change but focus on what you can take charge of and prepare yourself for. There is always a way you just have to trust in god and yourself to get yourself there. Im attacking every problem that comes up now differntly and it has helped to relieve stress. Why it took me this long .. not sure this advice was givin to me years ago in a church youthgroup and I have given it many times to others.. I guess I take alot longer to process it for myself ..LOL

I also realized this year that im much better at organizing than I thought I would be. Alot of help comes from the internet sites and forums and worksheets that help to set budgets and keep me on track to my home finances and retirment funds to of course the Big ONE right now ..The Wedding !! Giggle giggle

So many things this year to be thankfull for I truely feel blessed. To my family and Friends Im wishing you all the best for 2010. May your homes be filled with Love Laughter and Wealth.

Holiday Cards are Out

So the first announcement is on it's way out the door and I can not be more excited !! The photo that is displayed was taken the second week of November before the leaves had all fallen from the tree outside my parents home.


The Photographer did an amazing job and there are more pictures posted in our album on our wedding site but they come out very small. I will be making an online album soon so I will try to improve that.



I hope everyone loves the card and remembers the date 10/10/2010. It is bit different to do a wedding on a Sunday but the date was perfect for me. I have a very bad memory but now having 10/10/2010 will insure I never forget an anniversary ...LOL I hope that a Sunday wedding will not become a problem for anyone it means alot to have my family and closest friends present for my wedding.

This really does feel surreal while I send out these announcements and as I am booking vendors for the wedding.I'm very blessed to have my closest family and friends at my side helping me do my research and keeping me sane as I organize myself for the big day.

So far, Angel has visited reception halls with me and we have secured a place for our date. The girls were able to help me figure out theme and decor as my mind was running wild with crazy ideas.I have secured the Photographer and Videographer as well as the Ceremony location. So what's left you might be wondering

The Pastor to perform the Ceremony

A Ultimate DJ and entertainment

Oh , and of course the dress.

Alot of the odds and ends are being brought all the time but My main worries are the ones above so if you have any references you would like to share please feel free to let me know.

I am completley enjoying planning for this special day and it is so wonderfull knowing that while celebrating our most special day taking steps towards our future together as husband and wife we will be surrounded by the love of our family and friends.
