Just the Two of "US"

That title makes me think of Will Smith and his son singing that song...so cute, I might have to listen to it.  I digress though, that's not what I wanted to talk about.  What I'm referring to is Matt and me.  As we rang in the New Year at Chinookwinds Casino with a group of our friends, I told Matt,


 "This is OUR year!"  

Of course I am referring to our wedding, but it is more than that.  It is so easy to get wrapped up in the minutia of the wedding that we forget what it is really about.  Kinda, like Christmas.  What it is really about is two people who love each other planning to spend the rest of their lives together, not just a really awesome party, (which it definitely will be!).  It is such a scary, but totally awesome thought to think that he will be my partner in crime from here on out.  We're gonna have a great time, I just know it.

Although I know we'll have fun, I also know it is hard work.  Anything that worth it is right?  Well, when you have two stubborn people coming together, "When two become one"  (I just couldn't help myself), there are bound to be hiccups.  Like the stock market, you have to be willing to ride the waves, even through the hard times knowing that in the long run things will be okay.  So this year I want to focus on "Us."  When I read this post from Becca at Blue Cricket Design it was like she was saying EXACTLY what I was thinking!  I could not have said it better.  So here's to "Us" in 2012!!!!!

Wedding Fever

Yep.  I've got it.  I've been pinning like crazy for inspiration!  My amazing friend Nicole and her man are coming next weekend to hang out and take some engagement photos!  It will be great time reminiscing and getting some awesome shots for the save-the-dates.  I also just went to the The Portland Bridal Show this weekend and got some more great ideas for decorations.  So far we have the following checked off our list:

1. Venue
2. Jordan's attendants
3. Dress
4. Our website (a work in progress)
5. Colors: Orange, Kelly Green, Lime Green
6. Honeymoon

Currently working on:
1. Engagement Photos
2. Finding shoes
3. Officiant (just need to confirm)
4. DJ/KJ
5. Catering
6. Ordering dance floor
7. Save the Date, Invites, etc.

It all seems to be falling into place!  I cannot believe there are only 188 days left!
