A check mark that is! Off the wedding to-do list. We have finally decided on a rehearsal dinner location. The dinner will be held at Ninfa's. It should be very fun and comfortable. It is a nice sized room and they had very reasonable prices. We all love some good Mexican food and I know it will be great to have everyone together the night before the Big Day!
We are also in the process of FINALLY ordering wedding invitations! We got two huge books full of choices today from some great friends so now we just need to pick some and order! I can not wait until they are ordered and everything is set. We are down to 110 days, so we need to do this quickly. I also have set up a date to do my bridal portraits which will be in two weeks (weather permitting). I am so excited to do a dress rehearsal and see how everything comes together.
On another note, precious Caleb Daniel came to H-town today, so I went to visit him earlier tonight. He has gotten so big and is so adorable. I can't wait to hang out with him over the week, and I just keep imagining him in his little tuxedo for the wedding. I can't wait!
This is going to be a great week where we will have the chance to get together with family and friends and give thanks to God for everything in our lives. It should be a great Thanksgiving and a great feast. I am also looking forward to some early morning shopping with Billy on Friday. Then a birthday celebration for me before he heads off to prep for the big game this weekend!
I hope everyone has an amazing Turkey Day!

4 Months and Counting!
Four months from today I will be walking down the aisle with my dad, and marrying the man of my dreams! I can not wait to celebrate with all of my family and friends as we become man and wife.
Before that can happen, we have a few more things on our checklist. Although we have done the majority of big things, there are still some major items that need to get accomplished. For one, we still need to decide on where we are doing the rehearsal dinner. This needs to be booked pretty soon because I am sure places fill up. We also need to order invitations. Since they will be going out in January, we need to order them and have time to get them in and address all of them. This is a major task that is harder then it sounds. Hopefully we can pick out some nice invites within a week.
We have a ton of smaller things that we need to get accomplished as well. We still need to go to our reception place and have a tasting, so we can finalize the menu. We need to decide on all the accessories, shoes, etc for the groomsmen, bridesmaids, and ourselves. We still need to get our wedding day transportation lined up as well as our hotel room for the wedding night. I need to set a date for bridal portraits so I can go through trials for my hair and makeup. And then of course there are about a thousand other little things that need to get done.
I have complete faith that we have plenty of time and we will get it all finished so there is no need to stress. I am starting to work weekends now for work, so I will not have as much time then to get things done, but I will have Tuesdays off. This is almost better because places are not as crowded during the week and hopefully I will easily be able to book everything.
I still can not believe that we are halfway through November. I am getting excited about rival football games, turkey, friends and family, and shopping! Only a couple weeks and I will get to enjoy all of the above!!

129 Days and Counting!
I can't believe it is already November! This is a busy month for UH football with 3 home games and one at Rice (so practically home). It also starts getting very busy at work now. That only means that time is going to FLY BY!! We are down to 129 days and each day passes quickly.
On Thursday last week, my mom and I went to the church I am getting married at to check out a few things. We looked at the candleabras (don't know how to spell that) they have that can be used during the ceremony. We also checked out the Sanctuary and the rooms that the bridal party will be in before the wedding.
On Friday I went down to a jewelry store by the Galleria to look into designing Billy's wedding band. They are able to do it at a very affordable price and it is exactly what he wants. I am so excited to have our rings picked out!
One of Billy's groomsmen had his Bachelor Party on Friday night. Billy and Case went to Jordan's dinner at Carrabbas, so I was able to hang out with Case's awesome girlfriend Kimberly. We went to dinner and got some ice cream and then just hung out and talked for awhile. When the boys finally got back, we got dressed up to go to a Halloween party. Billy and I decided to be Vampires, although he went all out and I just had the outfit on. It was fun! Here is a picture of us dressed up!
Nothing else new going on around here, except that we have a new President! That is so crazy and I know that some big changes are about to happen.
