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...

I'm baaaaaccccckkkk!!!!

I just got into my room! What a weekend! Aaron and I had alot of fun in the Corpus Christi sun. Aaron and I did alot of fun things, but I am so very sleepy-ish so I'll have to blog about our adventures at a better time. But what I do want to share is a a mothers day card that Aaron wrote. We discovered it while looking through some old pictures. I don't know really what to call it, an essay? a scary edgar allen poe poem? not sure, but this is proof that Aaron has always been a deep thinker. (they guessed that he was in 3rd grade when he wrote this)

ENJOY! i know i did. I couldn't stop laughing.

What A Day!

Today was an awesome day. It started out with a yogurt and banana and I was out the door. I made a few stops this morning before I got to work and finally made it to the shop around 9:45 AM. 

We were pretty busy at the shop. It starting picking up around lunchtime which is the usual time we get bombarded by hungry customers who want a delicious fruit cup. I had a phone call to make at lunch time to Cheli and then back to work.

Then we had the after school rush where if your not careful, your gonna get run over! Fruit was flying everywhere! To the front and to the back, the shop was full of anxious customers.

6 PM came around and it was off to the church. I usually change at work on Wednesdays so that I can make it to church on time. Otherwise, I'd be running super late.

Tonight we had Baptism Class and New Member Class. The class was great! We went over some basic stuff and reviewed with them the notes that were handed out in advance. 

I think that everyone is ready and confident that they are making the right decision.

Today was awesome! It started great and ended great. Tomorrow, Cheli flies into town. We haven't seen each other in over a month. I can't wait to see her. I love you Cheli!

I love de-regulation....whatever that means.

I have a co-worker whose dog chewed up his glasses. He told me that he was told that the lenses alone would cost over $150. The frame is fine, this is the cost of the lenses only. Ouch! Being the savvy computer guy that he is (he works in the IT dept) he did some research and found a super cool website. http://www.zennioptical.com/ As long as your have your Rx, you can place an order for prescription glasses starting at $8.00! He decided to splurge and get the $10.00 frames with anti-glare or whatever it's called. Oh and shipping is a flat rate of $5.00 from wherever. I'm going to be ordering some soon. When I asked my friend about the reason that I can order glasses from wherever I want, he said that there is no regulation on contacts/glasses so people can order from wherever they want!

Here's a link to a message board about the site if you want more info. Let me know what you think....

It's OFFICIAL

aaron and i are compatible on so many levels. however, we most recently found out that our favorite girl scout cookie is the same! lets do this people!

Does God Have Cold Hands?

According to my dad He does. We went to eat at cracker barrel. (via gift card- gotta love it!) Our waiter brought our drinks out to us. I immediately cradled my glass in my hand and began slurping on my sweet iced tea. Dad extended his hand to me and Tia Y so we could pray for our dinner. Dad starts praying and then interrupts himself to look at me and tell me that I have cold hands. The prayer sounded like this, "Heavenly Father, ..you have cold hands!" then he closes his eyes and starts praying again. BAHAHAHA!

P.S. They sell Bill Gaither CD's at cracker barrel. They also had a GIANT Hershey's bar. It was like....... 3 feet wide and a foot high, no joke. I did the math. it was worth 3,750 calories. GLO-RAY!!!!
