So much done already but so much more to do

I feel accomplished to have gotten:

1. Our caterer booked
2. Our wedding planner booked
3. Our venue booked
4. Our honeymoon booked
5. Our invitations/save the dates picked out
6. Our DJ picked out
7. My cowboy cowgirl boots purchased

Most people think I'm nuts to get all this done a year out but once school starts back up my life and my weekends disappear and before I know it June 7, 2014 will be here.

Starting a year out has really given me the opportunity to enjoy planning and picking things out with Mack and my parents. 

I feel very blessed to be marrying into a family that I love and consider my own, that's a gift that a lot of people don't have. 

We picked the most amazing venue that's run by an adorable couple that only confirms everything I believe in. They built the farm because they felt like it was their calling in life and it was a way for them to carry out God's work in their own way by allowing couples to start their lives there. Their daughter, who also happens to be our wedding planner, is fabulous. She's crazy about details in the same way I am yet she's laid back, funny and really cares about her brides. 

We've decided to keep our wedding small and simple because that's how we are. We want our friends and family to have a good time and enjoy in all the happiness and love that we feel surrounded by everyday. 

Tomorrow I venture out with my mom to look at wedding dresses and pick out the ones that I want to try on when I get to my appointment on Saturday. As much as I hate trying on anything, I do look forward to spending time with my mom, grandma and both of my future mother-in-laws.

Now, if I could just get my Lilly Pulitzer planner I'd feel complete.
