Ok, so this is officially my first blog post ever. I must admit its a little intimidating. Computers are not necessarily my strong point but I figured I would give it a shot. My reasons for wanting a blog are to document the trials and adventures through planning a wedding, with a fiancee who lives in another state, to moving into married bliss.
First our little back story. Allen and I met in high school, where we went to our senior prom together. We stayed friends as I moved off to Arizona for college. After some time we thought we could give the long distance relationship a shot. Wrong! We were too young and decided to go our separate ways but stayed in touch through emails or texts. Fast forward 7 years. I moved back to Idaho to be close to family and finish dental hygiene school. Soon after moving back I get a "happy birthday" text from him. The timing was right, neither one of us dating anyone, so we decided to give it a shot. 3 1/2 years later on Christmas Eve he proposes in front of the Christmas tree. So now the fun begins. WEDDING PLANNING!
Everyone says planning your wedding is the most stressful event ever, but I am not that girl. I love this. The planning, organizing, decorating, shopping. Its SO MUCH FUN. Some may say "well you've been planning your wedding for the last 3 years, so that's why its not stressful". Well no I haven't. Yes Allen and I have talked about getting married for a while but that does not mean I have done any planning. I may have seen things I like but I made sure no planning was done until I officially had a ring. So far we have a venue, photographer, and tux rentals. Next step the DRESS. I have given it a grand effort to find "the" dress here in Idaho, but to no luck have decided to broaden my search. We now are going to San Diego in a few weeks to search with one of my besties at the endless bridal salons they have to offer. Lets cross our fingers that we come home with a little more than some sun on our face. Wish me luck !
