Thank You Tuesday: Sharon Shower Guests!

Today we will kick off a series of "Thank You" posts, so here goes!

We cannot put into words how much God has blessed us through each of you who hosted, attended, or contributed to the shower at Sharon Church this past Sunday. Each of you has made a difference in our lives by showing your love and compassion. So, today we want to thank ALL of you. Every last one! Aaron and I keep saying to each other how speechless we still are when we think of the outpouring of love and generosity given by each of you. So THANK YOU! Thank you for all that you did!
Thank you for each and every single gift! (which we will get into later because its so much fun!)

Leah (my sister), Haley (my writer at this shower), Ashley, and Gracie.

Thank you again Sharon Missionary Baptist Church for all you did to help us prepare for the start of our new life together! Thanks to each and everyone who thought of us on such a special day!

Sharon Shower Pictures!

Again, I want to thank everyone who came to the shower on Sunday, especially the hostesses who made it all possible. Aaron and I are both, still, so very overwhelmed by the love and generosity that you all showed to us. God has blessed us in so many ways, but especially by surrounding us with so many loving and compassionate people. We are so grateful to have you all share in this exciting time in our lives! God bless you!

Also...I have more photos! I don't know about all of you, but I LOVE pictures! So get ready to see several over the next couple of weeks!

The gift bags on the table were gifts for all of the wonderful hostesses: Ms. Kellye, Ms. Gail, Ms. Missy, Ms. Janis, Ms. Janice, Ms. Debbie, Ms. Ruby, Ms. Sue, and Lauren. Thank you ladies, again, for all of the hard work you put into the shower. It was beautiful and we are so thankful for you!

My neices and flower girls, Ashley and Gracie. Aren't they adorable?! We just love them! Thank you Leah for coming to the shower and bringing your girlies! I'm so happy I was able to share it with you! P.S. I let you slide this time, but be ready to be my writer at the next shower! :)

Sharon Shower!

***Short post, but I promise there will be plenty to come (after I catch up on my sleep!)

Today was our first wedding shower given by Sharon Missionary Baptist Church. It was fabulous! I had such a great time visiting with everyone and celebrating the excitement of the wedding that is quickly coming! Tonight I will leave you with couple of pictures. (As many of you know I was "on-call" at the hospital last night and was at work from 8:45 p.m. on Saturday night to 6:30 a.m. Sunday morning. So, needless to say, I am pretty tired. But today was so exciting, I just had to share it with all of you!) Enjoy the first of many photos!

Part of the lovely Hostess group! They were so sweet to do all of this for us!Four out of my six bridesmaids were able to make it to the first shower! Thank you girls so much for coming! P.S. That is a shadow on the front of my dress! (Michelle, Leah, Haley, Lauren)

Weekend Plans

Aaron and I spent last weekend apart, which is never fun for us. We are sooooo ready to see each other! He will be coming home on Friday, but we have a very busy weekend ahead of us! We have a couple of wedding tasks to accomplish. We haven't conquered the tuxedo task or choosing Aaron's wedding band, so those are on the list. My neice, Gracie, has a softball tournament on Saturday that we would love to go to. Plus, I'm on 'night call' at the hospital all weekend so its going to be even busier!

The best thing about this weekend (besides getting to see Aaron of course!) is that we have our FIRST wedding shower! The shower is Sunday at 2 p.m. at Aaron's church, Sharon Missionary Baptist Church in Benton. I can't wait to see everyone and celebrate this exciting time! I'll post pictures from the shower next week along with a few "Thank You Tuesdays!" So, if you're at the shower, don't be surprised if you're mentioned on the blog!

Also.....the countdown continues!
93 Days!

The Countdown Begins!!!

100 days!!! Its official! We are exactly 100 days away from our wedding!

100 days!!!

Can you believe it? Its so hard to believe that it was 5 1/2 months ago when we got engaged! Only 3 1/2 months left to go! We are sooooooo ready and everything left to do with the wedding is only minor details! I'm going to completely soak up the next 100 days because once the wedding planning is over, its over! (And its so much fun!) I'm sure time will fly by!

And just so you know...it is killing me to have these invitations in my possession and not show EVERYONE!
