7 Months Away!!!

Everyone is telling me that time is going to fly and before I know it the wedding will be here. I think they're all lying to make me feel better. Each day seems to drag on. I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas. Today is the seven month marker. We've got most of the major things covered, we just need to get details worked out. Aaron's been great. He works on wedding stuff without me even knowing! Fi-ha-te! For example, I found out today that yesterday he called the caterer to ask what color napkins they have and tomorrow he is going to a rental company to look at lighting and stuff. I had no clue. He's just telling me about all this stuff that he's doing behind my back :) He's like my sure can wedding man, my bridal go-to guru, my super sly marriage guy, my clever cleaver. I could go on. It's all great, but it does leave me with some questions. Is he expecting me to pay him for all his wedding planning services? Will he also hem my wedding dress for me?

Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait to see.......7 MORE MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had joy, we had fun...

Relaxing. That is the word for this weekend. Cheli and I enjoyed each others company so much that neither one of us wanted to see our time together end. Unfortunately, it had to end.
We wanted our time together to be a time for us to relax and clear our minds from the planning process of our wedding. On Saturday morning, we went to Whitecap Beach which is about 5 miles from Mustang Island State Park. We walked down the beach and took photos of each other and sat down on the sea wall about 50 yards away from the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The view was breathtaking. A cool sea breeze was blowing across the foamy surf. The water was relentless in its approach, but receded back to its place. The caw of hungry seagulls filled our ears. The salty air filled our noses. The crunching of South Texas sand filled in between our exposed toes. The warm sun kissed our skin.
We walked away refreshed. It was a beautiful day that day. Cheli and I are looking forward to our big day. I am looking forward to many more days like this past Saturday. Counting the hours...
