Blogging!

Decided to start a blog about planning my wedding today. So...Ta-Da! Here it is! Brian and I got engaged about a year ago and still have about a year and half to go. I am a bit of a control freak and I love having almost 3 years to plan this thing. I have thought out dozens of color schemes, venues, random ideas, and other wedding details. With nearly a year and half to go, I have pretty much decided on a color scheme and an overall theme. Luckily (or unluckily somedays), my mom has been coming along to bridal shows and looking through what seems like hundreds of wedding magazines with me.

I graduated from A&M two months ago, Whoop! So with my hard earned Aggie Degree I got a part time job at a Couture Wedding Dress Store. I am also working on getting my wedding planning business started so I am COMPLETELY emmersed in weddings!

So far in planning, I have been to the Houston Bridal Extravaganza twice, the Bridal Symposium, the premier wedding showcase at the Houstonian, the Galveston Bridal Show twice, the Bay Oaks Bridal Open House, the Tad Akers Bridal Open House, and have gotten my tickets for the San Luis Bridal Open House March 14 at the Galveston Convention Center! My trooper of a mother has gone to all but two of these fantabulous shows. Brian has gone to about three and his mom, Lisa, was extremely overwhelmed at the Houston Bridal Extravaganza!

For my wedding planning business, as well as my own personal wants :), I have organized wedding magazine clippings into binders for easy reference. I have a binder for cakes, flowers, reception and ceremony decor, and dresses. They are super fun to look at!!

During my non-wedding related time, I am working on getting my teacher certification through iTeach Texas. Can't wait to be a teacher!!

For Lent, Brian and I have given up going out to eat...day four and Brian has already cheated! I think it was him setting bread on fire last night that provoked the cheating!
