Go Giants!

by Becca

haha Gray will probably not appreciate that title, but I had to root for the giants. After all, there is nothing perfect in the world, so the Patriots could not have a perfect season, at least in my book. Trina, Chad, Gray and I spent Superbowl Sunday in my apartment. The boys bought pizza, hot wings and drinks while Trina and I made dip and appetizers. It was all very yummy and we have plenty of leftovers.

 I also got a call from the clubhouse stating I had a package. I raced over there with Gray to find out that my measure all cup had arrived from Pampered Chef! It really is amazing, more so than I thought it was. I think I am in love. haha Trina was really excited because I had bought her a recipe book so we have new recipes to try. 

Aside from the superbowl craziness, I have good and bad news. The bad news is that my sister, who was engaged, has broken off things with her fiance. I would ask you to keep her in your thoughts and prayers at this time. The good news, however, is that I have a job interview on Tuesday. I’m pretty excited because although the Olive Garden interview went well, this interview is in my career field. I’m trying to not get too excited though, I want to go through the process with confidence and not so much nervousness as last time.  I’m not going to lie, though, it’d be nice to get the job. 

On the wedding front, there is some exciting stuff coming up. On the 15th, Gray and I are planning on meeting with our officiant for our second pre-marital counseling meeting. I’m glad to start back up on the meeting and hopefully get some things decided on.

On the 26th I’m schedule to go in for my first fitting and I’m super excited to see what they’ve done so far! Of course, in just a week we will be down to the 3 month countdown. This is probably the most excited part of everything. I’m going to have to whip it into gear and finish my wedding invitations, favors and a few other odd items. I’m also having to make guest lists for showers, my bachelorette party and trying to keep Gray from going crazy from school work.   I have to say, I am so ready to be married.

Pre-marital Counseling

by Becca

So, while I’ve been busy adjusting to school and my routine, time has flown past me. In another week we will be down to 7 months before the wedding.

Crazy!

This weekend Gray and I briefly chatted with Britt, our pre-martial counselor. He gave us a list of reading materials and included a brief outline of what we will talk about during the sessions. Now Gray and I are in the process of finding the books so we can read them before we get the started. It has been a fun process for me because I am finally getting to do some of the more fun things. Wedding planning is fun, but it is also very stressful.

Aside from preparing for marriage, I’m trying to control how much planning I do this semester. It’s not realistic for me to be planning when I have so much else to do, but I’m putting some small things in to help keep me sane.

For example, we recently bought our invitations and I’m going to get the programs soon as well and perhaps thank you cards. In December I will finally get to go and get my dress fitted so it can be altered. I’m way excited about that. :)

This weekend Gray and I spent time with the campus ministry we’re involved in, Campus Crusade for Christ. We went on the fall retreat and were able to have a time of much needed spiritual renewal. We also visited my parents’ house, which is nearby, and had some quality time with them. Gray actually saved my parents from a grease fire in the kitchen. It was unexpected and we’re thankful it was stopped before it could burn the kitchen or even worse, the house.

Aside from the craziness of planning is school. School is something that is very long and tedious to me right now and I find myself actually looking forward to graduation! I can not believe that I graduate in only 10 weeks!

What can I say, I’m busy. :)
