Bachelorette Party!

Tycee (maid of honor) was the mastermind behind my PERFECT and BEAUTIFUL Bachelorette party! And a special thank you to Sarah (matron of honor) and Brittany for helping put this on! We had such a blast, and I'll cherish these memories forever. Two and a half weeks until I'm a MRS!!!

Got the keys to the house, and I officially move in July 31st. God is good!

Bridal Shower

My mom and the ladies at Teen Challenge worked so hard to make this day possible. It was so beautiful and polished and organized. I had wonderful friends/family there to make it special. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day filled with God's presence and peace. My heart is full! 

PS: I'm getting married in less than a month!!!! 

Look who made an appearance at the end :) 

A Look Back @ our Engagement

6 Weeks Away!

Oh wow, I really need to do better at updating this thing!
I've just been so busy planning our wedding, working, gearing up for a new church plant in September, preparing to move to Elk Grove, etc.

God has provided left and right, and it's all coming together as what we've both dreamed and longed for. We'll be going on our honeymoon directly afterwards to Kona, Hawaii for 9 days. Pure bliss!!

Here are some of my favorite shots from the past few months :)

Let's see, I celebrated my 27th birthday, Josh officiated his first wedding, we went to Tahoe, I met Josh's amazing parents, and we got our marriage license! We've been going non-stop.

FOR EXAMPLE: This weekend we're driving to LA for my friend's wedding, and then Sunday we're driving to Oakland for his sister's wedding!

We still find time for date nights among all the craziness. And we keep reminding ourselves this is just for ONE DAY. No one is going to remember what kind of chairs or plates we had; they're only going to remember the atmosphere and the love. That's all that matters. Plus, we have our whole lives ahead of us to look forward to!
