March ends with a bang

Whoops! It's been quite awhile since my last post. As usual, we've been busy filling our weekends (and, lately, weeknights) with more activities than we can realistically complete, but we love it. We got back yesterday from an awesome engagement party for my big brother and his gorgeous fiancee, Ashley. We must have met half a dozen couples who are either engaged or newly married, so we had a blast exchanging wedding tips and getting marriage advice. It's always great to see my family, but the trips always feel SO short. We only have two more trips to the Bay Area planned before the wedding, so we really need to take advantage of the time we have when we do get up there. Our next trip includes my first dress alterations appointment, meeting with the Palm Event Center to hammer out details for the big day, and hopefully buying our first new car together! Such a grown up thing to do - yikes.

Lately our focus has been split between wedding details and packing for our big move (well, that and entertaining/being entertained by our adorable kitten). I'm about halfway done with my part of the invitations, and hopefully we can get them out in the next few weeks. We finally found an incredible apartment that will be our home during our first years of marriage. I love moving - the process of cleaning out all our stuff, organizing our lives, and starting fresh in a newly remodeled apartment just makes me giddy. I love redecorating and figuring out the puzzle of how to fit everything in the allotted space. Plus, our new place has two pools, a workout room, and a much better location. We look forward to the big move!

The next few weeks may feel a little crazy for us. It's my spring break, so I'm finishing up the packing before my parents come down to help with the move. Then in two weeks I have my first bridal shower with Terry's side of the family! Terry's birthday is coming up in April, and we're each entering busy times for work and school. Thankfully, the craziness is all such great stuff, and we're generally motivated by the fact that our wedding is getting SO close!

Thanks for reading - we're nearing the big day!
