5 YEARS....

Today, March, 27, 2011- Bailey and I celebrate 5 years together. It was this night 5 years ago that we were standing in the kitchen at Bailey's house in college at the time and he said he needed to talk to me about something. As I stood there waiting to hear what it was, he looked at me and told me that I was the only girl that he wanted to be with and he didn't want anyone else to have the chance to have me. He then proceeded to ask me to be his girlfriend, and those of you who know me well...know how excited I was to hear those words. Of course I said YES....and really the rest is history because I knew after 3 weeks together that he was the one and I love him! Here we are 5 years strong and 83 days until our wedding day! I love you Christopher Michael!

Bridal Shower

On Saturday, March 13th, my sister and future sister-in-law hosted a bridal shower for me. They worked really hard on decorations, food, invites, gifts, games and all that hard work paid off because the shower was fabulous! We had a fun time playing games and getting to know a little bit about what answers Bailey thought he was going to trick us with. I watched as the girls grouped up and made wedding dresses out of toilet paper- that was really entertaining!!!! It was like Christmas again as I opened all these amazing gifts from everyone. I cannot say how much I appreciate everyone coming and sending gifts for Bailey and I.

Alterations

WOW! This past Saturday, February 26th, mom and I headed to the alterations place to get the final touches on my dress. It was such an amazing feeling to put my dress back on and with all of the accessories I will be wearing. I didn't want to take the dress off, but I know I get to put it back on in April when the alterations are complete. I am so excited to see what it looks like all sewn up and complete- Only 4 people know what the dress looks like and it's absolutely perfect- I can't wait to see Bailey's face when he first see's me in that dress! What a great weekend! Now we are onto invites, ordering this and that and getting the decorations in order. It is going to be a busy busy time!
