It's Rainin' Up In Here!

         So many showers ...so little time! Blake and I are so excited about going to our couples shower tonight held at a friend's house! My friend Amy, who is also in our wedding, has planned us a shower for all of our Tuscaloosa friends to attend at her home. It's amazing to me how time passes. We have been talking about all these wedding events for so long and they are finally here! My bridal shower has come and gone, our couples shower is this evening, before you know it my bachelorette/lingerie shower will be here, and then we'll blink once and Blake and I will be holding hands at the alter. I must say all this wedding stuff has been so much fun and I have enjoyed planning for one of the most important days of my life...but, whew! It's exhausting and I'm ready for the honeymoon!

         For those of you reading that don't already know, Blake has decided to keep the honeymoon destination a secret. At first when he informed me that I wouldn't know where we would be heading after the wedding, I kinda freaked a little... I'm a very planned, organized person and I like to know what is going on and when. But then I looked at it this way, the honeymoon is one less, very important, thing I have to worry about. I am planning a wedding... a wedding! I never realized how much went into an event like this until I started working on my own. So needless to say, I am very grateful and excited that Blake has chosen to surprise me!
         On top of the fact we are getting married in 48 days, we have the Christmas holiday upon us! My favorite time of year for three reasons... Christmas (obviously), my birthday is the 27th, and I love New Years! Just yesterday I was able to get almost all of the Christmas shopping done and nearly everything wrapped, so I am ready to head home for he holidays!!! I love Christmas for a few reasons, but one important one, it is the one time of year I have the privilege of visiting with my whole family. We are all so scattered out and busy throughout the year and Christmas is when we all get to come together and hang out. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family. So just in case I'm not back on here until after Christ's birthday, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
