Organization..

it's what I need. 


If you don't know me very well, or at least haven't been in my study, you would know that I am a fairly organized and orderly sort of person. Everything has it's place. Lately, yes here come the downfall, I haven't been. This is most frustrating to me, especially with so many ideas for the wedding. My desk is almost borderline mess. 


I really need to commit to cleaning it, and probably reorganize my bookshelf. (Serious dusting required.)


So, anyone who is out there, here is my plea, my accountability to you. I will have my desk cleaned up, organized, and blissful before this weekend is out!

Now onto business,

I thought, as I do think a lot, that it would be a great idea to explain why I am attempting to keep up this blog. I've convinced myself of these reasons. :)

• I have so many thoughts just jumping around in my head all of the time. So I figure, why not keep them all in one organized place? That way I can share my ideas with those I care about and get thoughtful considerations.
• I spend a lot of time looking at wedding blogs. It would be awesome to cut and paste all of my ideas and borrowed ideas to give myself a less cluttered perspective of what I envision. 
• I would like to help future brides, if any should see this blog. I've found some to be very helpful. But in my particular situation, with a next to nothing budget, it would be good for someone to see that it is possible to have a wedding and not spend a small fortune. 
• It is my hope to make others laugh and enjoy what they are reading. It is a great thing to be able to share the dreams of mine that are coming true, and for those who consider in doing so, it warms my heart that much more. 

I hope you may find these reasons in order and that I succeed in aiding anyone in any ailment they have, especially the lack of a smile on their face. :) :)

I must get to work now.

Such a sun-burned weekend..

This weekend was great. Michael and I went to Folsom Lake on Saturday morning, my very first time ever, with Richard, Joanne, and Jeremy. It was lots of fun despite the cold, cold water, wind, and sun burn. Not the best mix. Sunday was great as well. We had a special luncheon with family in celebration of the new life in Richard and Joanne's family, Cody. It was a long and busy weekend, but we had much fun and memories were made. 

As everyday passes, my thoughts are mostly filled with plans and details for our big day to come. Some days are better than others, let me say, but mostly, the anticipation is what kills me. It's funny to me when people say, "November is so soon, aren't you stressed?!" Normally I say that it is, "not soon enough," but I know in my heart that everything will work out according to God's will. It's not about the wedding, but the marriage that we will build in our lives and for our children to come. 

I've been to several weddings, seen them on television, etc. It always pains me to see the meaning essentially stripped out of it. If you are creating your union, yet not living your life for God, to whom is this union committed to? Don't get me wrong, the ceremony is symbolic and traditional, but I don't understand why sometimes the focus can be strayed to 'how perfect' things need to be. It just doesn't seem right..

That's my small tangent for the day. However brief it may seem on here, it is not so in my mind. :P

Blessings to you all this day, may it set a great tone for your week. :)

PS. I am much obliged if you are reading this. It most certainly humbles me that people may possibly want to read what I have to say. So, thank you. :)

Just a little treat..

this has to be one of my most favorite photos with the handsome, young gentleman I've spoken of.. Hope you all like it!

Until next time..

In the beginning..

there was this handsome, young man named Michael. He was the sweetest man any girl had ever met. Luckily for this girl, his eyes were only for her. After many, many years, the handsome, young man sought God with all of his heart and asked this girl for her hand in marriage. The day was May 10, 2010, exactly a year since they had vowed to be friends forever, later pledging their love and commitment. Come November 27, 2010, they will do just that although for eternity. 


Don't forget to..  :)

God's blessings on this new adventure that awaits for all of you out there reading this. 
Keep dreaming, for in time, they shall all come true..


xoxo, krissy
