Engagement Party

On February 21st Timothy and I had our engagement party. Sissy, Judy, and Timothy's sister Emily all helped put it together. We had a great time getting together with both of our families.

We had BBQ and then cake for dessert. After everyone was full we played the Newlywed game and did a crossword puzzle with words that had to do with Timothy and me.

Everyone there signed an apron for me to commemorate the evening. All in all I think our families mesh very well and this is the beginning of a beautiful future.

Planning, Planning, Planning

The wedding planning is in full swing now. I spent the majority of my winter break making decisions for the wedding. We are getting very excited and ready to not have to drive back and forth between our houses. Melanie Tyler is our wedding coordinator and she is very helpful. On Friday we went and registered at Ye Peddler and Target and we plan to also register at Walmart but we were worn out that day. Also last week I went and ordered my wedding dress. I am very excited!! It is coming from Australia so it will not be here until the end of April :S but that is OK. We finally have a reception place. I was becoming worried that we wouldn't find one. The reception will be at the baptist church gym next door which will be very convenient since it is so close. My two sisters and I are planning to go pick out bridesmaids dresses next week. My mom, Sophie and I went to the Bridal show on Saturday which was a lot of fun and I found many great ideas. I want the wedding to be very personal and have a lot of pictures so Sunday, Judy, Sissy, Steve, Timothy and I went to take pictures. They turned out beautifully. Overall planning is going wonderfully. I think things are going to speed up from now on which is great because I can't wait to be Mrs. Wade.
