Dress Date

Well we went to look at dresses today and It went good. We were unable to try any on though, SO we made n appt for tomorrow to go back. It finally hit home today that this is for real and we are really getting married! I am so excited. I can not wait to spend the rest of my life with the person that loves me so much and so unconditionally! Who could have asked for a better lover and best friend? I always thought it was corny to hear p[people say they were married to their BEST FRIEND, but I can honestly say that I feel that way FINALLY!!! Tomorrow we will be taking my sister along so she can take a few pictures. I will post them tomorrow so everyone can help me decide what dress to get!!

Saturday Plans

Well it is Saturday and we are planning to go out and look at wedding dresses. I have a good friend from work Jami that is also getting married soon....March to be exact. So we are taking the guys to go look. Then we are going to make them go to the scrapbook store so we can get the paper for the invitations that we are going to make. I will be taking my camera so we can get some pictures and I will post them for the site.

We are getting so excited. We will be back home in Oregon in less then 6 days! WOOHOOO! We can not wait!! Well I am going to close for now I will post more later when we get back. Jared And the boys are making me breakfast in bed. So I Better get going so I can eat!

Talked to the Wedding Planner

Well I talked to the lady today that will be planning the wedding for me as well as officiating. We have the date pretty much locked in, so October 7th it is. Right now we still do not know exactly where it will be. We have a couple of choices in Cannon Beach. Our plan is to drive up to the beach when we are there next week and see what we think. We have to look at Ecola Park and Hug Point. We have to look at options of if it rains what will we do then. There is a pavilion at Ecola Park that we can rent for the reception as well as back up for the wedding, but Grandma Clark wants us to have the reception back in Gladstone at the Riverside Inn so that looks like what we are going to go with. That way for those that can not make it to the Wedding can go to the Reception.

New Look to Blog!

As most of you noticed I have a new header at the top of my blog. I really wanted to try my hand at Digital Scrapbooking so I thought what better way then to make my own header. And this is what I came up with!

Well the wedding plans are coming along just great. I think we have the whole reception figured out. Jared's grandma Clark is going to try and reserve us the recreation hall at her Trailer Park. Hopefully that will work out for us. We want a little Coffee and Cake reception. Nothin Fancy!

We are 9 days away from going home to Oregon for Christmas. I can not wait! Isn't it funny that when I talk about going back to Oregon I think of it as home also! I guess that is because Jared's family has made me feel so welcome and like I am a part of their family already! I am so thankful to have met him and to becoming a part of his wonderful family soon!

I really want to thank all of his family for making me feel so welcome but I especially want to thank Aunt Donna and Grandma Clark. They always make it a point to say hi when they write or call and I so appreciate it!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

We just wanted to tell all our family and friends that we hope they have a Happy New Year!! We are only 10 days away from going home to Oregon! We can not wait! the kids are getting so excited to fly! They both have enver flown before, wso I will have to take alot of pictured of their first plane ride!


Now about our New Years Eve out:
Last night Jared and went to Kansas City with a bunch of friends. We got a hotel room so we did not have to drive. They shuttled us down to the city and then they had free taxi rides home. So we did not have to drive at all! We went to a club, and had a good time, except they screwed up the countdown. There was supposed to be a balloon drop, but a bunch of drunk and obnoxious people decided to ruin it by pulling the balloons down early!! SO they redid the countdown about 10 minutes to late!! Jared and I had my phone out so we could see the time and so we really were on time for the New Year. We left the bar at about 12:30 and went back to the hotel and went to sleep!
The picture above is of us at the hotel getting ready to go out!
