A few thoughts.
Jason has been out of town for a few days at camp with the youth from church. I've been able to talk to him a few times but it's been slim pickin's. I've realized SO much how I rely on him to get me through my week. I love talking to him and since I haven't been able to I've learned how much I value conversation with him. He is totally the love of my life. I keep thinking about what he's doing and worrying about him.. i almost feel like a mom. I worry that he isn't getting enough sleep, that he's not eating enough, that he's being safe.. I just love him and want the best for him. I want him to be fulfilled and satisfied and happy whether with me or not. How silly I know!
I've also been thinking about the house we're building and how I can't wait for us to have people over and show them the house we've built both spiritually and physically.
More than anything I can't wait to be a wife. I cannot wait to spend every day with him. I can't wait to share in our struggles and our successes. I can't wait to see him when I wake and when I'm about to go to sleep. I can't wait to care for him and have him there for me at all times. I can't wait to come home to him and see his smiling face.*though i know most times i come home grumpy.. he has this way of making everything okay. I can't wait to sit next to him at church and see him with the youth. I can't wait to see him graduate and become a youth minister. (He is going to make an AWESOME!! youth minister)
Oh how I can't wait to be married. I just miss him and I'm ready for him to be home. He is so encouraging and loves me for me. Man, I'm blessed and so thankful for this man God has made to be MY husband!!

slow-n-steady
Slow-n-steady is the only way to describe how things around here are going. We've been stuck in the 350's for longer than it actually has been. But we've been getting some things done I'd like to say...
We met with a photographer on Tuesday!! We loved him. He was really funny and definitely has some great thoughts for our venue. I had to laugh because we were telling him how unphotogenic we are and he told Jason.."Hey man, in a non homosexual way.. YOU ARE CUTE!" I could not help but laugh. And then Jas was like "yeah, Jen you're cute too!" and the photographer was like "You're gorgeous!" It was funny..but maybe you might have just had to be there. So we are going to book with him next week hopefully. They are Tillman Branch Photography and I really can't begin to tell you how much we really liked them and KNOW our wedding and pictures will turn out AWESOME because of their special touch!! So exciting.
I'm hoping to meet with a DJ next week. I'd also like to meet with a florist business to see what they have to offer. I'm also hoping that we can start getting some of my bridesmaids in to see the dresses and the colors we've picked out. We're trying to find a rehearsal location and I'm sooooo pulling for the Charleston dinner cruise but we'll see. And I'm waiting on word from the woman we were suppose to be ordering invitations from.
Other than that life is life. OHHH wait?? How could I forget the exciting news that we bought a lot for our house! We went on Monday and finalized all of the design plans and now we are waiting for the word GO and they'll start putting up the house!! It should be done by November which means I'll have like 6 months there all by my lonesome... not really happy about that but I'll do okay (i hope). So we've been pretty busy.
Thanks for checking in and hope you enjoyed!

361
Hey Y'all!! I feel the need to post because I'm oh so excited about the fact that we are getting things checked off our wedding list!!
My mom and I went shopping for bridesmaid dresses on Saturday (which went GREAT!!) and we found some that we loved. This means we've picked out the colors... which then means we can start finding linens, flowers, decorations, invitations, and the cake design. We are pretty sure we're ordering our BM dresses from LulaKate in Charleston. However, they are a bit expensive because they are designed here in Charleston.. so I'm hoping everyone is okay with it and then we'll get the ball rolling!!
A designer at LulaKate is most likely also going to be designing my dress which I'm so excited about. She is going to be taking bits and pieces from 3 different dresses that I like and combining them to make the perfect dress for LESS than the original designers. We're still trying to wrinkle out of the facts and make sure it's do-able for our budget but it seems like everything is falling into place.
We are 361 days away and I'm so excited. I have a feeling the next 11 months are going to be crazy busy with school and everything but I am more happy than ever about this wedding and the planning.
