The Race Is On...

Hmm...where do I start? Well, as of today I have been engaged for four weeks and three days. So, the race is on. Some may wonder why I have already started looking at wedding dresses, photographers, venues, caterers, etc.. when I still have a whole year (and then some) until my wedding date! Well, I will tell you why. Reason number one: I am the MOST indecisive person in the world! I hate making decisions. So, I might look at the same dress or the same photographer's portfolio a thousand times before I decided "this is the one that I want!". This is going to take some time people! Reason number two: I called the Guntersville State Park on Monday to ask some general questions about their facility and I was informed that they are already booked for most of the summer for 2010. Really?! So, I decided that while I am not working I should be planning. I have become obsessed. It is so much fun. And so stressful! I love it though. Ask me how I feel about it a year from now and you probably won't get the same answer! I started this blog because I always want to be able to remember this feeling. I am so excited. I am also anxious, overwhelmed, giddy, thankful- that God has blessed me with such a wonderful man that I will one day be able to call my husband! I love to scrapbook and make memory books but it just seems like I don't have the time these days so I have opted for this.

I tried on wedding dresses for the first time today. It is tiring! They are so heavy! I went to David's Bridal in Huntsville and spent a couple of hours there with my mom. I tried on so many dresses that I eventually got them confused and couldn't remember the ones that I liked and the ones that I didn't! Luckily we took the camera. That really helped. But that wasn't the best part of my day. I also went to the Botanical Gardens and met with Mrs. Barbara who gave us the grand tour. It is AMAZING! I will post some pictures (at least I will try to). Ross works nights at Goodyear so he was sleeping today and didn't get to go with us. I CAN NOT wait until I can go back and take him with me. The only doubts I have about having the wedding there is that it is about and hour and fifteen minutes from here. Ross seems to think that people won't come because of the traveling involved. Well even if they don't I will still be married and have beautiful wedding photos! Ha. Just kidding. Well, I suppose I have rambled enough.

I can't wait to be Mrs. Ross Amos!
