Note: Christopher e-mailed me at work yesterday and said he missed reading my blog. This made me smile. It's nice to know my soon-to-be hubby reads my silly little blog.
Speaking of my soon-to-be hubby, I am going to be married in 6 weeks!!! As of tomorrow, I can say my wedding is next month. I have tried not to make my blog all about my wedding, and as you can tell from the lack of blogging, I have been way too busy to post anything!
My friend Leslie over at Sharp Stick in the Eye posted about having good intentions when it becomes to being a mommy. She has a really sweet baby, Juliette. Be sure to go and read her blog and check out the cute pics of "Jules" as she calls her. ANYWAY, Leslie wrote about being in adequate and that the truth is she it and she needs Jesus and grace. Don't we all?
It got me to thinking about my good intentions of being a wife. I don't always have groceries in the house, sometimes I want a bowl of cereal for dinner. If I don't always have a home-cooked dinner on the table does that make me a bad wife? In my mind, it does although I know it doesn't and he doesn't care. I have a kitchen cabinets that need to get cleaned out, that I haven't found time. My pantry needs to be organized. I still have Christmas decorations I just put in the closet because I forgot to put them up with the boxes. I have good intentions of reading my Bible more and Facebooking and Pinteresting less. The point of all this is that I absolutely agree with Leslie. None of this matters. We all need Jesus and grace and the Holy Spirit to guide us. I am inadequate but Jesus loves me inspite of this. Christopher and I have already started to make a conscious effort to have a God-first marriage. This excites me about becoming a wife.
Sorry for such a deep post. Just been thinking about this a lot lately, and after reading Leslie's post I see I'm not the only one who wrestles with this.

Fall-Themed Engagement Party
I'm a little late on this post. Actually, a lot late. I was a little late when I started it and then blogger has been weird and won't let me upload pic. Anyone else having this issue? I digress... When we (me, C, his parents and grandmom) went to Colorado for Thanksgiving, my parents through us an engagement party. It was a fabulous party and a great opportunity for our Colorado friends to meet everyone.
Parents' front porch. Didn't get a picture, but she had pumpkins all over the flower bed as well.
We tried to emulate what the invitation looked like.
Mini bottles of sparkling cider as favors for people to take.
Dining room tablescape. My mom was so creative with those pumpkins, as you know that's how we got engaged.
Kitchen tablescape.
Individual pumpkin mousse. Delish!
My handsome, groom-to-be.
Sweet parents who threw this fab party. Can you tell the apple doesn't fall far from the tree? My love of entertaining definitely comes naturally!
Little bro (who'd unfortunately already changed out of his uniform)
My 2 besties, and fellow Delta Zetas
My friend Eric and his gf who is an amazing baker and cook.
Shawna, who is like my other half (besides C, obviously) she got engaged 1 motnh before me and her wedding is 6 months after ours. We've already figured we'll have kids at the same time.
2 dear friends, Heather and Mandi.
It was a great time and a fun Thanksgiving (which I promise to post on as well, LOTS to catch up on). 3 months from today, (the next Friday the 13th we'll have) I will be Mrs. Wilson and I absolutely cannot wait!

No Ordinary Party
WARNING: Nerd Alert!!!
In honor of Breaking Dawn, coming out I just had to have a party! (As if I've ever really needed an excuse.) It was an evening filled with cocktails, Taylor Lautner, food, Taylor Lautner, the movie and oh, did I mention Taylor Lautner? Bless his heart, he can't act but he can wash your shirt on his abs!
Team Jacob!

I lucked out and found all this Twilight themed supplies at Party City, marked down to .50 because it was from Eclipse. So I just bought the generic Twilight themed items.
I printed off these cute quotes and drink labels online and put them in frames I already had around the house.
My friend, Whitney, brought over lots of yummy snacks!
Team Jacob!
At the movie! PS: Everyone was our age or older, I think I saw maybe 1 or 2 teenagers. They said the average aged woman who attended was 37 1/2. Weird.
