Coming Up...

Hello Again!

This blog entry is dedicated to my future mother-in-law, Ruth! ;) I think about updating the blog all the time but I want to talk about something significant when I do. I have a few things to update about. We have finally scheduled our engagement photo session for October 27! That lands on Robert's 29th birthday. I asked him if he was sure he wanted to take them on his birthday and he reminded me that "a birthday is just another day." I DISAGREE, but that's okay. I have the rest of our lives together to convince him otherwise. :D So I guess we'll just have to take the day to celebrate our upcoming nuptials as well as his birth. What a fun day!

On the same subject, I have had this chair sitting in our house for a few months:

I purchased it for $60 off craigslist with the intentions of painting it a different color using this tutorial I found on pinterest: Painted Upholstery. We will use it as a prop in some of our engagement pictures. I'm excited to see how it turns out. If it ends up looking super awesome maybe we can find a place for it in our new home.

Now that we're about 8 months away from the BIG day, we've started talking more about ideas for decorations, food, flowers etc. I know 8 months is still a long time but I can't believe we're even this close to our wedding already. I remember when we were saying "16 months is forever..." Things sure are coming along!
