Here is a quick run down to get everyone up to speed:
December: We spent the first part of December in Mexico checking out resorts! The Now Jade was the winner and we fell in love with it! The people were so friendly and the food and drinks were awesome! It is not located on any 'hotel row' and is semi secluded from other resorts. The closest place is a small fishing community called Puerto Morales. The town is so quiant and beautiful! We loved every minute of our "site visit" and can't wait to get back down there for the wedding with all our family and some friends!
Christmas and New Years were spent all over Texas. We split time between Austin, Marble Falls, Tyler and back home to Lubbock! We had a wonderful time seeing all our families!
February: My parents and the Woods' threw us a lovely engagement party in Marble Falls with lots of our friends and some family. It was so nice to see everyone and we had a wonderful time with friends! We spent Valentines day being thankful that we had found each other and celebrating with a nice dinner.
March: We were in full wedding planning mode by this time! I had lists of everything, emails filling up my inbox and a few small fires I had to put out...but overall March was a good month. My home church in Marble Falls threw me a wonderful bridal shower and we got some lovely gifts! My mom and neice Kenley picked me up from the airport and we had such a great night together! It was nice to be able to see everyone and spend the weekend with my family! Parker went to Vegas for a work conference and came home being ranked in the top 1% in the world for Coldwell Banker Commerical! I was SUPER proud of him because he works so hard and deserves it! Towards the end of March, we both got sick and I ended up having to stay home almost a week to get better! Yuck!
April: So far, April has been alright. We had a stressful few weeks at the begining with family illness, personal illness and trying to get our wedding invites sent out!! Thank goodness I had them all ready to go because at the last minute I had to drive 6 hrs home to be with family and Parker ended up having to finish them and get the mailed out! What a sweet man I am marrying! There has been a little more wedding stress this month as we get closer to the big day! I'm trying to make lists and stick to them so I don't feel overwhelmed! Parker has been working hard to close some deals before we leave so MAYBE he can part with his blackberry for 2 weeks while we're gone! ;)
The one wedding event this month has been my dress fittings!
<<A funny note about April, my sister's bridsmaid dress was ordered in January and still was not in when I went home. I had to call David's Bridal multiple times and speak to corporate office to figure out the problem. In one of those conversations my sister was present and when I hung up she said, "geez, I have never heard you be so mean or aggresive to anyone- I'm sure glad to know you can bust out the bridezilla when needed!" Which she probably doesn't know, but that comment made my day and gave me a MUCH needed laugh!>>
SO- Now you are up to date on where we're at! :D We are SO looking forward to our big day and are counting down to leaving for Mexico! Hope to see you all there! Adios!
