Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forgive the ones who didn't. Believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it! If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy. They just promised it would be worth it.

Wedding Planning: Gettin' it done!

Days left: 110

So now we are inside of 4 months left until gettin' hitched. Mind blowing for Dave and I. I told him we are almost under 100 days and he just gave me his nervous laugh. We both know that we are excited to get to our wedding day!

This morning over breakfast we were talking about how crazy busy this summer and the rest of the year will be for us. We started to joke and say "remember how busy 2011 was?!"

Today was fun... we did a "Mary's Peak Rally" with Romo.

I let my hair air dry during the drive... it was flying out the window the whole time...
Somewhere near Alsea...

We came home in time for the weird warm weather rain to start again. So I decided to sit down at my laptop and get some wedding things done. We have been shopping around for Dave's wedding band, and last weekend he finally found the type of ring he really wanted. Only problem was, gold is the metal he wanted and it's REALLY expensive. So we have been hunting on the internet for the ring he wanted at a decent price (and by decent I mean under $500, no joke... gold isn't cheap right now). But we did! We found the exact one for a great price! So I ordered it fast, to avoid the price changing tomorrow. (It's happened... haha).

We have also picked out favors... which we are waiting to order so they aren't just sitting around, and I think we have decided our wedding invitations too.

I ordered my veil this week and I already found my shoes. I was describing my veil to Romo's girlfriend, Krista (Ta for short) and I guess Dave was eavesdropping. He told me later that he heard me and said he's really excited to see me all done up. Then he said "Man, I better be looking GOOD because it sounds like you will be looking HOT." Just put that kid in a suit and he looks AMAZING. I know he will be looking good.

Half of my bridesmaids have their dresses officially bought and ready to go.

Cupcakes (yes, I said cupcakes) are all lined up, with all four flavors (yes... FOUR different flavors!) picked out, just the official decorating decisions need to be made.

It's all coming together. I'm feeling less stressed about it all the time. There are a few things here and there that I still have yet to book or make official (like a DJ... but I'm waiting to hear back about prices). But overall, I have worked really hard to get so many things done already it won't be hard the next few months. It will just be the day of stuff that will have be freaking out. Luckily I have the most amazing bridesmaids in the world, so I know they will be helping me the week of and day of.

In the mean time, our shower is in 2-ish weeks. Which should be SO fun! Hopefully there will be lots of pictures and stories from that!

Three days after our shower, Dave and I are going to see our favorite band, My Morning Jacket, play at Edgefield with some of our closest friends (haha come to think of it it will be Maid of Honor, Best man, and his best lady, and groomsman coming with us!)

Ooooo and the summer will keep getting more busy! Stay tuned for more adventures!

Love, Jess

Mary's Peak in the fall... #2

The Sunday after Halloween, we decided to continue the tradition and take a drive up Mary's. This time I got to drive too! When we got to the top of Mary's , we hiked to the tippy top just as the sun was setting. Best pictures EVER!

Mary's Peak in the fall...

The day after my birthday celebration, the boys decided they wanted to take their cars for a long drive. Being that both Dave and Romo, and both their cars, love to go fast, they knew it was time for another Mary's Peak Rally. Even though I was not feeling up to being in a car going very fast around sharp turns (thanks to my hangover), I agreed to be Dave's co-pilot and grabbed a 7UP for the road. Romo picked up Persons to be his co-pilot... and we were off!

Here are a few choice pictures from the drive that afternoon. Hope you enjoy!

So photogenic that little car is ...
