Dear Friends & Family

Thanks so much for all of the positive feedback on our wedding blog! :)
Please feel free to leave comments all over the place and let us know if you think something is missing or if you have any questions.

Eventually I'm going to get around to posting pictures of our immediate family and wedding party. (My version of VERY proactive introductions!) Those of you who know me know my love for introducing people and it kills me to think that I won't get to share fun stories about everyone when all of these people I care about are brought together!! Don't worry, I won't do that here... just general bio info for fun.

I'm going to pick out our flowers with my mom tomorrow morning. I've unofficially made her my "wedding floral planner" :) She has always loved flowers and she's actually an amateur florist with a degree! Since I can't name a flower correctly to save my life (and I doubt Grant can either), I've enlisted her talents. We've been meaning to go floral shopping since January and I am glad that we've finally found the opportunity. I actually think that this is the perfect time to shop because all of the flowers blooming now will be available next year too! Woo!

Aside from that, not much to report since the last post... Grant and I have been trying to get together with the videographer that a friend of mine used for her wedding last year but so far, we've been unsuccessful. Hopefully we'll be able to meet up with him in June.

Anyhow... that's it for now! Hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend and if we don't post before then, have a fun and safe holiday weekend and we look forward to seeing you NEXT Memorial Day weekend for some major celebratin'!! Woo-Woo!

Much love,
Megan


PS. I'll leave you with a picture of Grant and I actively searching for our venue up in Lake Arrowhead in February... well, I am searching anyhow... Grant is taking a break.

Accomplishments!

This post is a little late but as of May 1, 2009, Grant and I feel that we've really made a huge dent in our wedding planning. I am so thankful that Grant has been with me through 100% of the decision-making process. I've heard from so many people that he's unique in his involvement... He's amazing and I have been blessed more than I am imagine by his love. And I have to tell you, all of the minute details are becoming harder and harder to keep track of and it's awesome to have a backup copy in someone else's head! :)

We've been planning non-stop since January in an effort to lay as much groundwork as possible so that I'll be free to concentrate on school. Our efforts have definitely paid off because in addition to setting our date, we've booked our ceremony and reception venue, a photographer, musicians, and hopefully a videographer. The most amazing part of all is that it's been so easy and fun! I know that statement may seem a bit premature since we still have 12 months and 20 days til "I do!" but I feel like now we have more months than major tasks and that feels great!

I found my dress in March and already went in for alterations... I absolutely LOVE it! I've already warned Grant that after we're married on any random Saturday afternoon he should refrain from shock when he discovers his bride all gussied up for no reason. :)

Anyhow, that's what we've accomplished so far. I'm proud of us! Yay! Go Grant and Megan!!

Count Down: 385 days -Happy May Day!
