Happy Fourth (it's the Fifth!)

It is 8:02 in the morning. I have already showered, gotten coffee, spent time with greg, and now I am back at starbuks. Using the internet to look up my classes for summer school. Gross.

Greg and I spent the previous two days in Plano with my parents, celebrating July Fourth. On Tuesday we went to have fondue at The Melting Pot, it was great, especially the chocolate part. Since we were in Addison, we watched Kaboom Town (fireworks). It was pretty spectacular.
The next day we went to my aunt and uncle’s for their annual neighborhood parade and then to my grandmother’s for hot dogs, etc.

I looked at my mom’s wedding dress and decided I am going to try to have it re-made into something a bit more modern. Her wedding was in 1974 (I think, maybe not….maybe earlier…) but she gave me full access to re-do it. It’s gorgeous. I’m excited about it, hopefully it will work out to my advantage.

It was also decided that the place we like best for our reception is too expensive. At least the catering part is. So we’re looking for more places. I just want to set a date! But we keep running into some problems.
Like New Years Eve is more expensive!
And the day before New Years Eve is a Tuesday and that is a weird day to get married on…but it’s during the holiday season, so it’s a bit more excusable.
Weddings…are wicked hard to plan.

Our friend Robert watched Olive while we were out of town, I eternally grateful to him.

I keep having pullings towards Christ more. That’s good, isn’t it? Greg and I are both Christians but we haven’t been attending church as much as we should; it’s hard to find a church. I don’t even really know what I want in a church, I just kind of figure that whenever Greg and I go to a church we’ll either feel at home or not. Plus, I work at a church (in Plano) and that’s kinda of tricky, attending two churches. We’d both like to find a church like ASAP, but that’s easier said than done.
So I hope that it happens. Maybe that could be another summer goal?

Goals:
Find a church
Set a solid date
Find a ceremony site
Find a reception site
Send out “save the date” cards or something
Get Greg moved
Fix my closet door and bathroom light
READ HARRY POTTER SEVEN
Switch from cingular to t-mobile

I want to find a church that has some type of couples bible study or something like that!
Well, pray that we do find a church soon. Pray that the closer we grow to each other we grown to Christ even more so.

hey, i found your blog from your facebook profile. i was wondering if you guys are planning on having your wedding in fort worth? justin and i are going to get married at christ chapel next summer. we haven't really planned anything yet and i don't really know many places to check out for flowers/cakes/caterers/etc. have you found any places?

oh, and i don't know if you've ever visited christ chapel, but we both really love it and i'm fairly sure they have some sort of study for engaged couples. if you're ever interested in going with us that would be fun. :)
