Updates!!

OK!! I think I am FINALLY making some progress on this whole wedding thing. These past two weeks have been great for wedding details! Everything is coming together nicely and I cannot wait to see the final product in June. I still cannot belive it is already 2009 and I am getting married this year, it seems unreal. I am so excited that I get to be married to Austin. He is the greatest person I have ever met and I have never been as happy as I have been the last 3 years that I have known him.



Anyways. We have officially picked out the bridesmaids' dresses and they are the most perfect color ever. If you want to take a lookie at them here is the website (http://www.watters.com/product.php?style=4912), and they will be in Tropical Jade. I think they are going to turn out so cute in person and I cannot wait to see them on everyone! I hope you like them as much as I do! I cannot wait to find the perfect flowers to go with them! Along with getting dresses last week, I also picked out Jayci, the flower girl's, dress. I am excited to see it on her! I also picked out what shoes I want. They have a bow on the back, rinestones on the front and they are super cute!!!!! I am going to feel like a princess walking down the aisle.



This morning, my mom and I went to Callies house to pick out what type of plates I wanted and some other kitchen goodies. We found some really cute stuff and we picked out some things that we wanted to see samples of and I will have to go back when they come in to check them out and I hope I love them, which I'm sure I will! We decided to go with white plates and primary colors for the accessories. I think it is going to be super cute and I will have many fun parties at my house! You are all invited!



After Callis House, my mom and I went to Dillards to look at bedding. I think I have found what I want and I think I'm going to do Blue and White in the bedroom and Red in the Bathroom. We will see how that progresses and lets hope it doesn't change!!! I'll keep yall updated as this goes on!!!



Oh and I don't remember if I said anything, but we picked a honeymoon spot. WE ARE GOING TO THE BAHAMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you just imagine me laying out under those palm trees??

Bridesmaid dress....

Hey Everyone! I know it has been a while again since I have written anything. I just get so busy I don't think about it all the time. Well since last time I wrote, we ordered a potential bridesmaid dress and it turned out all wrong, color wise. Its more of a sea foam green when I wanted more of a teal color. The dress is super cute and I like it, we just don't know what to do about the color. We are thinking maybe go pick out the fabric ourselves and then get someone to make a dress like the one we got from jcrew. We will see how it goes and I will keep everyone posted. I'm so glad I am close to home... actually living at home.... and I can start making other decisions and go see poeple and I can start putting this wedding together! I can't wait to start looking at flowers and food, this is going to be so much fun. I cannot believe it is coming up so soon. Less than 5 months away I will become Mrs. Brent!!!!

I cannot wait for us to start pre marital counseling because we will also be looking for a house/condo/townhouse/apartment for us to start our lives in. Austin will be done with school in May so he will have to live wherever we pick starting in May and then I will move in after hopefully the honeymoon. It is going to be such a crazy year and I just can't wait!!! We still haven't decided on a honeymoon spot because at first with the MCC teacher certificate program I was going to have class on the weekend of the wedding and the weekend of the honeymoon, so Austin did not want me missing class so we were thinking (he was thinking, not me) about waiting a little bit for the honeymoon, I wanted to go right after since MCC said I would be ok missing those days. Anyway, I changed programs and I am now doing my teacher certificate through Region 12 and so I will be done by the wedding and hopefully we can now go on a honeymoon... I cannont wait to be on the honeymoon, laying on the beach all day! Maybe I just can't wait because its cold today! I am sitting under my covers with a blanket over my shoulders. I'm ready for summer weather!

I finally graduated and it feels so good. We had a graduation party on Sunday and it was so much fun. My family was there, Austin's family came, and also Lynnsay's family came and it was a blast! I went to target yesterday to get thank you cards then I came home and wrote them all. It feel so good to get things like that done and not have them hanging over your head and thinking about them all the time. I enjoy marking things off my to do lists.

Well I cannot think of anything else at this point. I will just keep everyone posted on wedding details as they arise and I will keep you posted on honeymoon spots too.

The New and Old Year

Well, I haven't been good in keeping up with this thing. I didn't even know anyone else was keeping up with it until my dad said something about it. The year 2008 is now behind us and it has been such a crazy year. So much has happened in my life and I can't believe this year is going to be even more crazy.

This past year I got engaged and finished up my last and most stressed out semester ever at Texas A&M and it feels so good! Whoop... for graduation!!!

Even though my hat fell off on stage right after I shook the President of A&M's hand; I did not trip or fall and that's what I was more worred about. We went on a couple vacations; Austin and I flew to Colorado to spend some time with our friend Blake right before school started in August and then we also went on a family trip to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In Colorado we went white water rafting and hiking in the mountains. In Florida we went deep sea fishing and I caught a shark. We decided to get it mounted so hopefully one day we can hang it over a pool table. Also Austin and I took a trip to Spring, TX by Houston to play with Hurricane Ike and it was definitely an experience to say the least.

Most recently we got a puppy; Mia. Well her full name which is on her collar is Mia Jo Brent. She is the cutest thing ever but she is a nightmare all at the same time. She is not house trained and it is very hard to teach her the things that I want her to learn. Waking up in the morning EARLY is the hardest thing for me and she loves to be up early. Starting out she was up at 5 in the morning, now she is sleeping in until about 9:30am. It is getting better. She is so much fun to have around because she is very playful. That pretty much sums up this past year....

Here's to the next year! The biggest thing to happen this year is I AM GETTING MARRIED! I cannot wait and I think it is going to be the best thing ever! Also this year Austin and I will be getting our first real jobs and buying our first place to live! It is going to fly by and it is going to be one adventure after another but with Austin by my side I know it will all turn out great. So many people are getting married this year; we have one wedding after another to attend.

Not much has been going on with the wedding. Since I am now done with school much more planning will be happening. I will actually be going to places and making final decisions now that I will be living back in Temple. Flowers will be done along with food for the reception and so on. I cannot wait for this wedding to be here and it is going to be so much fun picking everything out and watching the wedding come together. I will keep everyone posted as the planning continues!!
