Yep, it's actually happening!

Hear some rumors?? Oh, I bet you did!! And yes, they are probably true! Unless it was the one about me streaking... which is NOT true. Kidding... Anyways, the date IS set! May 9th!!! The location is for sure, the dress is done, the food is done, the flowers, decorations and well... almost everything!

I was really trying to put writing a blog entry until I knew for sure what was happening with the Army. Basically, I have been given the opportunity to join. Yes, all this time of fighting the system and I have finally won. But wait... I'm getting MARRIED. I will be a WIFE! Can I be a good wife to an Army husband and be in the Army as well? Can I?!? I'm starting to think no. I'm begininng to think that my priority will be staying safe and have a welcoming home to my Army man. Besides, through our benefits, I'll be able to go to college! I can be a nurse! Or a medic! Or... I don't know! Anything! So maybe it's a good trade. Being a wife and being educated. Honestly, I want nothing more than to be a wonderful wife and someone he is proud of.

So, I've finally been given the opportunity and now it is my decision to decline. Crazy, huh? All this time of fighting and I've found I have bigger priorities. Love changes life and life changes daily.

The wedding! Is going great! I am run absolutely ragged %90 of the day, but things are really coming together! I got to take beautiful pictures today with Mima (Judy) and Dove! The wedding dress pictures we definitely a struggle for me... it's hard to feel pretty and confident when your out of your element and needing to stay so still. The artsy, half-nude, american flag pictures were a ball! I LOVE them and I can't wait for Cole to see them.

Hunter and I are currently in the works of Cole's bachelor party! It's not a strip club, not hooters and not Vegas, but the boys will have a blast! Cheap too!
My party on the other hand is non-existant. I am having a bridal shower! But not a bachelorette party, which is totally fine. I am busy planning other things any how. I did win a "pampering party" through Davids Bridal/Mary Kay. They will be coming to my house Saturday night to give myself and my friends facials, hand and lip treatments. This is a party for my friends who can not be in the bridal party. I totally understand money restraints and I know it's hard for them to pay for dresses, so instead, a free party at home!!

Hmm, what else. We are still unsure of a photographer. If it's doable or even worth it. To me, it kinda is. I'd hate to not have those "once in a lifetime" photos, but I think we will survive. I probably only think that way because I am a photographer and obsessed with getting the "perfect picture".

As the wedding gets closer I am sure I will update more. I feel the need to vent more and more often...
