So last weekend we got to meet with our photographer (Natalie Lundberg) and get our engagement pictures taken. I'll definitely be posting our favorites when we do get them (which should be by this Friday-hopefully). I have to say I was nervous meeting with her, if you don't get along with a photographer it could mean pictures don't turn out as well as you'd want them to or like, but I LOVE her! She made us laugh, found cute poses for us, and knew just where to take the best shots. I emailed her a few days before and gave her some pose ideas I liked and she ended up agreeing with me, which was probably the biggest relief for me. It's got me very excited about the rest of the pictures we get to take with her! I probably won't be doing my bridals till May so we do have some time, but I'm looking even more forward to it now than before :)
We did decide on some favors, but we won't be revealing them as that almost feels like it defeats the purpose of them, but I'm also trying not to talk them up so that people are disappointed-so just know they have been chosen ha ha. I've also been looking up fun bridal/wedding shows to go to. Even though I've been to MANY of them over the years, it's probably been about 5 year since I've been to the last one, so I'm really looking forward to going to them and having a purpose this time!
We're currently "shopping around" for an officiant. The one I really wanted says she has a wedding in the middle of the day on our day so she most likely won't be able to do ours, but I emailed another officiant I found, also recommended to us by Natalie, so hopefully she'll be available because otherwise I have no idea who I'll be going with. We also decided we'll be doing our registry next month-September-since I'm focusing on one major thing at a time, after that it will be the dress (EESH!). I can't tell you how antsy I am to finally try them on. I've seen way too many episodes of Say Yes To The Dress to know what I need to be on the lookout for. Although I think it's got me overthinking it as well, so I'm stopping that show until after I start looking haha.
Other than that we're just taking it one thing at a time and haven't really thought too much past all that stuff-except me bugging Larry about when we can book our honeymoon! We've also been working a lot on cleaning our home up and getting our guest room and office set up better. We finally got a guest bed (Thanks mom!) and an old entertainment center/tv for that room as well, now it's just about decluttering and trying to find some movie shelves for our crazy collection!
Oh and last, but not least: Larry got me into running! I'm not sure how he did it, but we started running last week at our neighborhood fitness center and I can run so much better now than I used to be able to, longer and easier as well. So I'm really happy that I now actually look forward to (and LOVE) working out each night, unlike before where I dreaded it more than anything and would find any and every excuse to get out of it-I'll be in great shape for our wedding at this rate.
