9 months to go.

Tomorrow is August 19th. That means exactly 9 months until I marry my true love and I couldn't be happier. Well that's not true, I could definitely be a little happier today. I have been spoiled the last couple weeks. I've got to spend them all with Josh and that was amazing. But he left to go back to Virginia today and I couldn't go with him. I know it's better this goodbye because unlike the last big goodbye he won't be gone for 6 months and I'll know exactly where he is. But just because of that does not mean it's any easier. I still miss him very much and it still causes me to be emotional.

But on a bright note, while Josh was here we got A LOT accomplished for the wedding! So much that I'm not even sure where to begin. I guess it would just be best to go in chronological order, so I'll start at the beginning. 
The first thing we did while he was here was go cake tasting and man was it good. I found the place a couple months ago. Well actually I found the place in January right after Josh left while starting my wedding research. I was so excited to finally be able to go there and try their different flavors of cake. I'd gone into the bakery before and tried some of their desserts so I knew their cakes would definitely (hopefully) be good! Josh and I decided on 4 different flavors for the cake and we also decided on (well I told Josh what I wanted and he agreed) the look of the cake. 
The second thing we did was go to Mens Wearhouse and finalize the tuxes we wanted. Small detail but a detail that needed to be taken care of none the less. I think all the guys are going to look very handsome and I can't wait.
We also went to Jared's and picked out our wedding bands. I love them both and cannot wait until I am able to wear mine. Josh didn't want to take his off but I forced him too. In 9 months we can wear them for good :).
We were also able to get our Engagement pictures taken while he was here. They all turned out very good and I can't wait to share them with everyone! If the engagement pictures are any indication of what the wedding pictures are going to look like I absolutely cannot wait! 
Last but not least we met with the decorator to finalize our plan. I am so excited with everything that she has come up with. She has definitely done a better job then I would have ever done. She incorporated everything that we talked about plus threw in a couple ideas of her own that I can't wait to see. 
Well I am sure there is a lot more that I can't quite remember. I am tired and slightly emotional, but luckily not as much as I was. I think what I am going to do now is crawl into bed and catch up on some Pretty Little Liars. I still have a lot to do, not just with the wedding but with my life in general. I'm hoping that things continue to go smoothly. Goodnight all :)


Oh and heres a little peek of our pictures :)
