Well friends, I haven’t written consistently lately – I swear
that won’t happen when I move, yes I am moving. I remember hoping and praying
at the beginning of the job I currently have, for positive change and for my
life to just start taking the course God meant for it to and now here I am –
future bride to the incredible Mr. G Walker, moving to an area I never thought
I would move to, and embracing all of the little things along the way.
First things first – you already know we are engaged –
wedding planning has been pretty stress free. Obviously the date is set (most
of you reading this should receive your save the dates soon or already have
them). We have a venue, our bridal party is ready to go, caterer has been
decided, photographer has been contracted, dress has been purchased, engagement
party was a success, honeymoon is booked, lighting, DJ, attire and décor are
all in the works.
Next up – dance lessons! Hahaha Not joking! But it’s not
quite next. I have to move first. After much discussion and consulting with the
future mister, we found the perfect little house to rent. It has two bedrooms
and another room as an office. It is open and spacious, perfect for
entertaining! It’s our first new home. I’m so excited to finally come home to
the man I love so much. I also was able to land a job! I start April 15th!!! It’s going to be an adjustment – starting a new job and living in another city
– but it will be perfect because G will be there every step of the way. He has
been an amazing support system so far and we have only just begun.
I am actually just sitting down at home after an eventful
weekend. Engagement party weekend!!! We were nervous about the weather as it
was gloomy and bleak, but it turned out to be cool and not too windy. Best of
all, it didn’t rain!!! Our parents met for the first time, finally, and it went
really nicely!! Both sides of family and friends mixed and mingled well (good
job everyone!). It started at 5pm and people snacked and had a few drinks and
then around 6pm we ate an incredible Italian meal on the beautiful dock behind
G’s parents’ house. The night was one to remember, that’s for sure! I named it “Frat
boys & Winos” - lots of wine drinking and G’s fraternity brothers were used
as my inspiration. We are really appreciative to those who were able to make it
and celebrate the kickoff to the wedding festivities.
We have been told to enjoy the time before the wedding – and
we are doing an excellent job, if I do say so myself. Not sure of many people
who can remain sane, in love, and happy during times of so much change. Little
shout-out/thank you to G for having an opinion on wedding stuff, helping make
our future life decisions, and being by my side 112% of the way. We are so
blessed to live the life we live, have the family and friends we have, and be overwhelmed
with love for each other.
One of my BM’s asked me what I look forward to most about
being married and I think it’s the idea and fact that I will finally have a
partner, someone to experience the life God made for us with, and it couldn’t
be with anyone more perfect for me.
Stay tuned for more updates – eventually we will have a
wedding webpage (if I can get one up in the next few months). Wedding countdown
– 145 days!!!!
